Bite Beauty Rioja Cashmere Lip Cream
Bite Beauty Rioja Cashmere Lip Cream ($28.00 for 0.26 fl. oz.) is described as a “deep red.” It’s a medium-dark, blue-based red with a satiny sheen. Too Faced Melted Ruby (P, $21.00) is lighter, brighter. Estee Lauder Vengeful Red (P, $30.00) is lighter, not as blue-based. NYX Chic Red (P, $4.00) is darker, more matte. NARS Dragon Girl (P, $25.00) is cooler-toned. MAC Runaway Red (LE, $16.00) is slightly darker. MAC Charmed, I’m Sure (LE, $16.00) is similar. MAC Absolute Power (LE, $16.00) is also similar. Giorgio Armani #406 (P, $32.00) is pinker. Dior Marilyn (LE, $36.00) is brighter. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
This is the last shade of the six I’ve tried from the formula (see previous reviews here), and the formula is very consistent. It’s long-wearing and intensely pigmented as marketed, though it doesn’t have the matte finish, as there’s a noticeable sheen that is present for the first two to three hours of wear. Rioja lasts six and a half hours on me before it is visibly faded, though it is still surprisingly intact. The formula is comfortable to wear, and it was neither drying nor hydrating while worn. It has a slightly herbal scent but no discernible taste. I’d also like to reiterate that one of the six tubes I had leaked and had faulty packaging (see that review here.

This looks so good on you.
Thanks, Rikki!
Ohhhh this is gorgeous and that wear time sounds great!
It wears a really long time!
Does it bleed or transfer? All of this lip creams look lovely!
No bleeding on me, but it will transfer!
These pack so much punch! I am not the biggest fan of liquid lipstick.. in fact anything thats too perfecting isn’t my thing! 😛
I love liquid lipstick when I need realllllyyy long-wear!
Pretty red, but I do have a couple things similar already.
Phew!
Honestly it doesn’t look very blue based to me. In the tube it looks dead neutral!
It’s definitely not strongly blue-based!
I really like how it doesnt dry out your lips but has amazing staying power. A summer musthave!
Me too! Gotta have a long-wearing lip in the summer!
That’s gorgeous! I’m such a sucker for blue based reds!
Haha! So am I!
This formula looks amazing ! I’d love to see what Sancerre looks like on you. I saw it on a girl at Sephora and it looked beautiful. I am going to try these! (Sorry for the double post. I accidentally posted this comment in the Estee Lauder thread. Still learning….;)
I don’t think I have Sancerre right now, but we’ll see if I buy any more! 🙂
No worries! xoxo
It looks like one of those shades which make a bad day good 🙂
It is!!

Hi Christine, the color looks stunning on you! Was wondering if there was any feathering with this formula? I have a lip cream from Lancome (I think its called Rouge Velour) which is very high maintenance immediately after application, feathers and bleeds out too easily!
I don’t have any issues with it feathering, but in general, few colors feather on me!
The finish/opacity on these is gorgeous! This is such a power colour on you! ^_^
Aww, thank you!
Beautiful and looks great on you!
Thanks, Artemis!
What a rich, sexy red! Kudos to Bite for great lip products!
It’s so rich!
It looks stunning, I love the packaging too!
Yay!
This looks beautiful on you!
Thank you, Fancie!
