Tempting Tuesday: Bite Beauty Champagne Cuvee Deluxe Lipstick Collection

Posted on by

Usually when you get a lipstick collection like this, you love one and the rest are “meh”. “Meh” maning I could take ‘em or leave ‘em.
Well, I am happy to report that this is NOT the case with Bite Beauty Champagne Cuvee Deluxe Lipstick Collection ($72).

This comely collection is as pretty to look at as a colorful bowl of candy…hence the adorable staging.

Bite Beauty Champagne Cuvee Deluxe Lipstick Collection ($72)

Besides being candy-colored comely, this beautiful collection is also derived from French champagne grapes, freshwater Tahitian Black Pearl and Japanese silk powder. And the uber-special antioxidant benefits and resveratrol from the grapes tackle fine lines to store and protect lips. In fact, they’re so special, that they are limited to an exclusive batch of 1200 lipsticks per shade!

Longwearing, intense color coupled with creamy, antioxidant-filled moisture leads to a fabulous, foolproof, featherweight finish.

Each one of these 4 colors made me feel beautiful and, well, like a different person. I felt like I was playing a beautiful character with each lip color I put on for the day. I started with the boldest hue – Cuvee Rose (rose pink).

And I wore it… A LOT. To three events, one party and around the house more than I’d care to admit.

Bite Beauty Cuvee Rose rosied up my world!

 

Next up? The Cuvee Coral (vibrant coral). A gorgeous punchy coral with a kick – a little spice, if you will. I am loving it so much right now that I wore it all day today and then used it to express my Twitter love on the mirror! Thanks again, y’all! 11,000 followers? I’m overwhelmed and humbled.

And I haven’t played the other ones as much as the top two but after trying them on today for this post, I will be “dawning” the heck out of ‘em with a smoky eye!

Lorac’s Lips With Benefits in Ben – Moi je joue!

Lorac Lips with BENefits in BEN

Lorac’s Lips with Benefits is a perfect recipe of lipstick caramel cream folded into a batch of shimmering champagne gloss. This nonstick lip combo is hydrating, creamy, moisturizing, smells just like creme brûlée and made me feel a bit like Brigitte Bardot. Moi je joue!

Lorac Lips with Benefits: Ben

Lorac Lips with Benefits: Ben

With Ben, you’re left with a pout that’s a pretty peach married with a shimmering champagne beige. The result? A sexy, sandwashed peachy nude baby of a lip gloss.

Paraben-free and infused with beauty-boosting antioxidants like Acai Berry, Pomegranate Extract and Vitamins C & E, your lips are left nourished, hydrated, kissable and, tasting well, French.

There are lots of fun French things to do with lips like these. Ooh la la!

Bathing Beauty: BeautyFrosting

First thing you should know about me….I’m a bath addict.

I take baths. Every. Night.

Happy. Sad. Sleepy. Awake. After a workout. After one-too-many cocktails.

I have worried many a roommate and significant other by my odd, late night, against-all-odds bathing ritual. I’m looking at you, Vanessa York.

I never miss a bath unless I’m camping (all 2 times) or if the water service has been shut off. I can count the number of missed baths, post-college, on one hand.

We all have our beauty rituals. Ones we never break… or try not to.

I have always been fascinated by those features in my favorite magazines that ask: “What’s in your purse? What’s in your medicine cabinet? What’s in your shower?”

Well, now that you know my beauty ritual, you’ll understand why I’m doing an “In My Tub Tuesday”. I usually try, at least, one new product during my bath each week.

The one I’m featuring below is a product I discovered in January but instantly fell in love with. It went from a one-time product to an essential weekly ritual in itself.

That happens sometimes, doesn’t it?

So come see what the fuss is all about.

I present to you:

“In My Tub Tuesday”.
