What was terrible about the smell? Too much rose, or was it synthetic smelling? I am trying to kill some major lemms

I would say its the fake synthetic mimic of a rose smell.I have other products that use the rose scent in a good way, this not so much. But seriously, the shade is so darn gorgeous on. I don't think its bright, just pigmented. I only use it on my bottom lip & then smoosh. Lovely. I am getting Grandifolia & Crimson next.

Thank you! I might see if I can wait to smell them in store :bouquet:

Elegant, that is a great way to describe the scent. The scent didn't bother me but I could see how it could be unpleasant. Might be a good idea to check out in person if you can before buying.

None of the stores that I know even have them yet. I still think the shades are gorgeous.

Which shade did you get? I'm wondering if each shade smells different?

Elegant, I got Centiflora and Damask. I already had the Bite Deconstructed Rose lip gloss library so maybe I'm used to the rose scent. Although the scent in the lipstick is stronger.

i'm not fond of any of the bite beauty lipstick scents. they smell like MAC lipsticks that went bad. I still love them though and will buy more lol

I love this brand. I went to their SOHO beauty lab and mad a custom lipstick yesterday. I am in love. basically you tell them what shade you are looking for and they mix shades from lip colors. then they add the base for whatever finish you want.

they make the lipstick and you name it. they also give you the formula they used in the event you want to come back and have it made again. such a cool process for lipstick lovers everywhere.

as far as their product line. I am totally into it. the products are nourishing and all natural which is a plus in my book.

That is really really cool! I would love to make my very own lipstick shade. So awesome that you got to do that.

You lucky, lucky duck!!! Please post a picture of you with your custom-made lipstick.

So, what did you name your lipstick?

My Centifolia is going back! [@]elegant-one[/@] was right. The taste is terrible! Once I put it on, I had to quickly take it off! It was God awful.

I am not usually fond of rose-scented items, but this one doesn't bug me at all. If it's bugging you that much, then you are better of taking it back or selling it on a sales thread.

Guess they didn't have people try them on first or something, I think a lot of companies need to chill out on the scents & flavors

I agree, elegant. A lot of people have scent sensitivity these days and I know in the past couple years my own tolerance for certain scents and even flavours in food has changed a lot. I like the two Bite lipsticks I have but sometimes the smell of them is just really off-putting to me.

I returned a BITE lip pencil I purchased during the Sephora Fall Sale. I didn't care for the smell it was just to much for me. However I love my 4 Cashmere Lip Creams!

Me too! I have a nose like a bloodhound lol.I can't even walk behind little old ladies with lots of perfume on - or waitresses drenched in perfume, or the perfume section in stores. Cleaning products bug me too. I'm hoping the smell dissipates over time. blech
I'm keeping the lipstick because I really love the shade.

Loooove the lip lab!! I keep trying to find friends to go with me, but most of my friends aren't that into makeup, and they're certainly not into it enough to pay $34 (IIRC) for a custom-made lipstick. Ah well...I'll get back there to make a spring/summer shade one of these days!

Hi everyone,

Well, I just received my order today for their new BB lip balm. I wish I could say I love it, but I don't. It didn't stay on so well. I reapplied three or four times during my work day. My lips started feeling irritated; kind of chapped. It simply didn't cut it at all. I adore Bite Beauty, but I sadly have to give this one a big thumb's down.

On my way home from work, I slathered on one of their Lip Laquers in Valencia. My lips thanked me. All is better.

I will be doing my first Bite return on Wednesday. At least I can say I gave it a try. That one is just not for me.

Have a good night's sleep, everyone!

Oh no!!! This was the next thing I wanted to try from them, too! Really a shame to hear this.
