BITE Beauty Multistick

The other day... as I put some Bite Beauty lipgloss on in the shade Strawberry, I thought to myself, You need to try more products out from this brand! I have tried their Lip Crayon in Tulip, which I love, and have bought several other shades for my mom, but following the liquid lipstick craze, I hadn't tried any other products from them. Why do I like their products? Everything I've tried is extremely creamy, moisturizing, and is made with food-grade ingredients (they are edible!). I have been trying to go the more natural route, but my pocketbook holds me back from replacing all of my makeup with natural products...( comment if you have the same struggle!).

Anywho... a few days later, I received a complimentary Bite Beauty Voxbox from influenster with 3 Multi-Sticks in the shades MACAROON, BLONDIE, COCOA. God is so amazing, and good, that he decided to treat me to some makeup that he knew I couldn't afford at the moment! Not to mention the fact that I have been looking for a cream contour shade for a long time now, because contrary to the rave reviews on Youtube, and Instagram, the L.A. Girl Concealers are great as under-eye concealers, but horrid to contour with. They dry super fast, and blend streaky.  The only other cream contour colors I've heard some talk about are the ones in the Anastasia Beverley Hills Cream Contour Kit, and sorry, but I'm not going to pay $40 for a cream contour color, as that would be the only reason why I'd be buying it.

I hope the swatches are helpful, once I try it on my face, I'll be able to update this post with a review and more pictures.

Here's a pic from January 2015 of me with Tulip on my lips :)

UPDATE 09.14.2016

Preface: Carrot Seed Oil as Moisturizer, Japonesque Primer, Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation as BaseMacaroon & Blondie blend out beautifully no matter what type of primer, or beauty tool I use ( RT Sponge, Synthetic Kabuki Brush, Fingers...)Cocoa blended out best with my fingers, but it was still streaky, and patchy (and hard to blend), so I had to go in with my foundation brush to make it look decent. Cocoa also seemed to have a different consistency than the other 2, it was greasier which would make you think that it blends out better... but that wasn't the case!Macaroon had the most pigment on my lips, looked beautiful as blush, but was a little too "natural-looking" on my eyelids for my taste. I prefer pigmented shadows, whether they are cream or powder. Blondie blended beautiful and was a perfect transition shade on my lids, and gave a light was of color.All in all, loved 2 out of the 3 shades!

FTC: The Bite Beauty Multi-sticks were sent to me complimentary by influenster in exchange for my review. I am not being paid to talk about this product. The Lipgloss and Lip Crayon were purchased with my own money. All opinions are 100% my own.

 Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighters Review 

★★☆☆☆

When looking for highlighters, I tend to like highlighters that are pigmented, and that have a glitter or sheen to it. These highlighters are more like unflattering face powders, than highlighters.  Both highlighters lack pigmentation, but Radiant Lights is definitely the more pigmented of the two. It was so hard to even get these colors to show on camera. Now, I can settle for more of a 'lit from within' look, like the hourglass powders, but these highlighters do not hold a candle to hourglass' ambient powders. Even those powders have beautifully fine-milled glitter, whereas these do not. I could work with Radiant Lights if the subtle color that it gives were flattering on my face, but it isn't. Although these highlighters are very affordable, they are not even worth having. I have other highlighters that perform much better, as seen in the pictures below.

These are heavy, finger swatches, yet the MR Highlighters wouldn't even show up!! Once blended out, the other highlighters look beautiful ( MUFE D868 looks so pretty in person FYI).
I would pass on these highlighters if you are a Light/Fair skin tone. They may work better on someone with a darker skin-tone, but you would run the risk of  them looking ashy. This was my first time trying anything from the brand, but I think I may like their blushes better...
