Bite Beauty Pastille Collection for Spring 2013 Swatches & Review
Lipstick lovers, prepare yourself to fall in love with this new Bite Beauty Pastille Collection for spring!
The Pastille Collection is a limited edition collection featuring four new matte lipsticks. They got the inspiration for this collection from French pastille candies, which are flavored with flowers and herbs. Each one of these shades features pure essential oils of rose, lavender and geranium.They may be infused with all this flowery goodness but don’t worry, they don’t smell or taste like much at all.
They also contain organic fruit butters which help give it a really creamy, moist texture and make them very comfortable to wear for a long time. Also included is Resveratrol, which is an anti-oxidant and fights free radicals.
Pastille Lilac, Pastille Lavender, Pastille Rosebud, Pastille Violet

Pastille Lilac is a really intense pink/lilac shade. Bright, pigmented, gorgeous.
Pastille Lavender is a sheer lavender with just very slight shimmer in certain lighting.
Pastille Rosebud is a vivid pinkish/red.
Pastille Violet is a bright, pigmented violet. LOVE.

Overall: While these are termed “matte” shades, they do not feel dry, chalky or tight at all. They do still have a bit of shine to them. Pastille Lavender seems more of a sheer shade than matte to me. They feel super moisturizing on and are really pigmented and vivid. I absolutely love them but especially Pastille Lilac and Pastille Violet. Great collection!
Availability: Sephora and JCPenny/Sephora only.
Pricing: $24.00.
Ok lipstick lovers, let me know what you think! Anything here tempting you to try Bite Beauty for the first time?

These don’t look very matte to me haha I’m into lilac-y shades so the only one that catches my eye is Pastille Rosebud.
Yeah it seems like a lot of “matte” lipsticks shades aren’t the traditional matte we think of lately. Wonder why?
I assume it’s to make them more comfortable to wear. Anyway, if I wanted a slightly shiny lipstick I wouldn’t buy a matte one, would I? I personally don’t see the point of labelling them as matte.
Yet the CoverGirl Gloss Sticks I got basically turned matte/low-shine on me. Go figure!
I really like Pastel Lavender. They don’t look matte at all…then again I’m not a really big fan of matte anything.
They are definitely not a flat matte!
OOO yes! Pastille Rosebud looks like my thing! I need to have some BITE beauty sent my way as soon as I can! I’ve been curious about the brand for so long!

Gorgeous colors! I’m a bit shy about wearing such vibrant colors though.

Try it! Once you get over the initial uncomfortable-ness, you will be happy you did it.
They don’t look matte on the lips but the pigment and formula seem to be great. I might have to pick these up soon!

Good god, these are pretty! I can’t decide if I like Lilac or Violet more!
By crikey- these are all beautiful!
I agree that they’re not what I’ve been trained to think of as “matte” though. I wonder if there’s a new “matte” definition floating around the cosmetics manufacturers that they haven’t let us in on yet…
Bite tempts me every time, every day! Just because they are made out of such quality ingredients. But it is just too expensive. There are way too many other lipsticks with quality ingredients that I support.
I NEED these! Especially Lilac and Violet. Gorgeous!!!
They’re lovely, but I can’t bring myself to pay that much for a lipstick..
It’s taken a while for me to really pay attention to this brand, but these are just lovely. They look so moisture-rich on your lips, yet the colors are vibrant. Plus, I’m actually convinced that Resveratrol is one of a handful of ingredients that really can fight aging.

I wish Bite wasn’t so darn expensive, especially in Canada considering it is a Canadian brand. Lilac and Violet look really similar in swatches but I think I give the edge to Lilac. I want them all though! Thanks for the review and swatches!
Gorgeous colors!

Even though Pastille Lavender is sheer-ish…it looks so super pretty. My lips have zero pigment, so a shade like that would totally work for me! I love it even though I usually go for brighter/bolder shades. Speaking of brighter/bolder…the rest of the collection is WOW!!! Pastille Violet is mind blowing!!! And I can’t help it, I am totally in love with Pastille Rosebud. <3 It's so perfect! .<
LOVE everything about these! And they're inspired by candy. There is a check next to everything on my list, lol! XD Gorgeous collection!!!
Awesome lippie swatches as always! Thank you so much!
They are pretty expensive for my college budget, but do you think that the red is classic enough to justify me buying this?
