Hey, you can get Free Shipping anytime by calling a JCrew Stylist or ordering from your JCrew store. I use both & never ever pay shipping.

Here are my swatches of the J Crew lippies. From left Sophie, Lola, and Edie. These were also posted on my instagram. Sorry for the bad quality, the weather was bad when I took them. These are really bright. My fav is Lola. Can't wait for your swatches @elegant-one!

Thanks for the swatches! I'm wondering if maybe I should skip Sophie. What do you all think...? I'm NC25 and CYY/KYY colors frighten me a little. Part of me is also thinking "I need the full set" lol.

It's hard to describe. I thought it was super pink but when I compared it to KYY, KYY was much pinker. I think it's because Sophie has a more yellow undertone. I will point out I'm bad with undertones but it does make my teeth look yellow which is not a problem I have with the more blue-toned KYY. I also found it a bit more unforgiving in terms of texture than the other shades. Here is a quick comparison swatch. Again terrible picture, it's night and the lighting in my house is terrible so you might want to take this review with a grain of salt. It's not this coral in real life. Very bright but not quite candy pink. So it's hard to say if it will be flattering, it depends on your preference probably. I'm pretty pale and pink-toned and it is a bit too bright and yellow for my preference so I'm planning to wear it more as a stain. Edie and Lola are definitely the more universally flattering shades.

Thank you!! I really appreciate you swatching all of those. I think I'm going to pass on it, I've had my fill of bright coral pinks this summer and I have Givenchy's Corail Decollete which is pretty similar to Rose Dressing lol. So much overlap!

JCrew Bite Beauty colors
left -Sophie, middle - Edie, right - Lola
Lola, Edie, Sophie
EDIT: I just tried all 3 on & they are definitely different on my lips.
Lola is a bright geranium pink
Edie is a gorgeous poppy oranged red
Sophia is a very bright slight fuchsia base pink & was slightly dry
They are very very vivid color saturated shades.

Ladies, I need some help! I heard lot of good thingies about Bite and Im interessed in ordering some stuff from them; The only problem is that I'll can only do it online and I wont be able to return anything if I don't like. If I were to order anything, what do you think I should pick first? I'm MAC NC 35 and I'm into natural, MLBB nude (that won't wash me out) and mauve lippies.
Thank in advance!

I have darker lips almost mauvey, their matte lip crayon in Glace is a perfect MLBB. I'd check that one out
In the High Pigment line Rhubarb might be a good one too.

Gahhh I would love to do this! I was bummed to have missed out on the Bite Sephora point perk when they had it, because I doubt I'll ever get to their actual Lip Lab!

I love Glace swatched on my hand but wasn't sure that it would show up on my lips so thanks for posting that.

I didn't have to book that far in advance at all- less than a week and frankly, I could have done a walk in. (That said, the night before I was there, they had people lined up out the door, so I'd still recommend that you book an appointment.) The mobile lab is a stripped down version of the one in NYC, but still lots of fun. Plus, you get to make your own lipstick, which is always awesome. I'm super-happy with my new lippie!
