Bite Beauty Multistick Review

bite beauty multistick papaya review

 

Hi Friends! If you’re a fan of multipurpose makeup products, well, I have this wonderful makeup product to review for ya. It’s the Bite Beauty Multistick in Papaya shade. This is like The Nars Multiple but with even more shades to choose from.ย 

This multipurpose stick is meant to be used as a single color for lips, eyeshadows and cheeks. Each and every color available of this Bite Beauty Multistick is meant to be universally flattering to the skin tone. So don’t worry, you won’t look like a clown. Also, the shades are blendable and buildable, and it also has a nice pigment to it.ย 

I spent a long time in Sephora just trying to swatch and choose which ones I’m gonna take home with me. I was so torn between the Mascarpone shade and the Papaya, I guess because they kinda look sorta the same. Ultimately, I ended up with Papaya. I like its blend of fresh coral and rose shade a lot.

Ain’t that pretty? I love the powdery-creamy texture of this Multistick a lot, and it’s long lasting too. I was a bit worried of looking too coral-ish all over my face that I might start to look like a salmon, LOL, but I did not. The effect is actually pretty and cute.ย 

I admit that I don’t really own a lot of multipurpose beauty products, for fear that I might look too one dimensional, and I also thought that they may not really work, but hey, with the Nars Multiple and this Bite Beauty Multistick, well, you can’t go wrong. These are really great and efficient beauty products for beauty lovers who are always on the go. Saves you time, money and effort. A great product to have specially when you’re traveling. Additionally, the packaging also feels velvety smooth to the touch and it has a magnetic cap. Great effort Bite Beauty.

So, it this a Yay or a Nay? It’s definitely a Yay. Either you have the Nars Multiple or this Bite Beauty Multistick, it’s good to keep a few colors for whenever time constraint might be an issue in applying your makeup.

 

Happy Weekend All!

Tarte Lip Facial Lip Scrub Review

tarte lip scrub review

 

What’s Up Honey Bunchkins! ย I have searched far and wide for a good lip scrub that will help me deal with my drying Sahara Desert lips. ???? ย Oh well, at least the Sahara looks smooth, mine looks like, hmmm…never mind. My descriptions are not for the faint of heart, LOL. Anyway, I had my choices narrowed down to Givenchy Mister Lip Scrub (just because it’s Givenchy, ya know ????), Bite Beauty Agave Lip Scrub, Tarte Maracuja Lip Exfoliant, Ilia Balmy Nights and another Tarte Lip Facial Scrub.ย 

Which one did I choose? All of the above. Joke. As you can see, I went and bought this Tarte Lip Facial Lip Scrub and Lip Whatevs. Basing on the reviews, this particular lip scrub seems to be the most liked among all the lip scrubs I was interested in. Also, I like its twist-up design, so I don’t have to double dip my fingers on the product. You know, it’s wrong to double dip. A lot of people died of double dipping. Hahaha, whatever that double dipping means. But hey, for hygienic purposes, always wash your hands before dipping your fingers into your beauty products. ???? K?

So yeah, I did end up with this Tarte Lip Scrub and I am not disappointed. It really revived my dry lips, took away the dead skin and resurrected it back to dear life. I just swipe and scrub this a bit on my chapped lips, wipe off the excess, and voila! exfoliation down to its core. I got smooth baby soft lips galore! Oh, and did I mention how yummy this tastes? it’s like peppermint candy, and honestly, you could eat this thing. It’s basically sugar.ย

Like the grainy sugary texture above, this Tarte Lip Facial Lip Scrub is definitely now part of my holy grail products. I couldn’t say any negative thing about this lip scrub. I definitely think that it’s worth it and it’ll save and condition your lips, plus it’ll make your liquid lipstick application better.ย 

 

Any other lip scrub you can recommend?ย or have tried?

Favorite L’occitane Products

favorite loccitane products review

 

Need help with skin moisturization? because Baby It’s Cold Outside and you don’t want your skin to be all cracked, itchyย and dry.ย I swear, dry cold days can be harsh on our skin apart from not seeing the sun for a while. Sigh… Anyways, fear not! because I have a few product recommendations for y’all that’ll bring back that supple skinย you’ve always enjoyed. These products are made by L’occitane. They’re known for the Shea Butter ingredients in their products which moisturizes and heals dry skin.

Now, pronounceย “L’occitane”. Ha! I could barely even spell it, even more so pronounce it. I’ve heard a couple of folks say “Lok-chi-tah-nay” (Italian?) hmmm. Some say “lok-si-tain” (American?). Others would say “el-ok-si-tain” (Hahaha). Duh! whatevs! But here’s what I got from my research. It’s French, so therefore, moreover, and furthermore, ๐Ÿ™‚ it’s “lok-si-tahn”. Not, “look-she’s-tanned!” Hahaha, enough of that, we’re here to talk about my favorite products from L’occitane and not how to say it, right? These products are very timely because of the chilly days we’re having today.

 

Here we go:

 

Shea Butter Liquid Hand Soap (Verbena):

– This detergent-free cleanser is ideal for dry to sensitive skin. The scent is heavenly, like a fresh lemon/citronella and has an aloe-extract. In fact, I like this scent a lot better than the Lavender one. Also, I like this hand soap muchย because it doesn’t irritate my handsย which usually suffers from dryness during winter. FYI, I have been using this hand soap for almost 7 years now and Iย usually just purchase the refillย whichย has aย slightly lower price than the ones that comes with the pump container. The refill typically lastsย about 2 months on me.

Shea Butter Hand Cream:

– The best-selling product of L’occitane, the one that’s made them known for. This shea butter hand cream is truly a life-saving product. With 20% Organic Shea Butter, blended with honey, almond and coconut oil, this creamy and non-oily hand cream is hands down, by far, the best hand cream I’ve ever tried. It feels thick, luxurious and it is absorbed directly by the skin. The scent is clean, fresh and never boring. Most importantly, they keep the hands moisturized and soft. No wonder they get sold every 3 seconds all over the world. Good job L’occitane!

Certified Organic Pure Shea Butter:

– This organic pure shea butter is a multi-purpose cream that can be used to deliver maximum hydration on areas or parts of the body that has suffered extreme dryness, like cracked dry lips, elbows, cuticles, dry feet, and frizzy hair. It’s also great as a lip balm, after-shave, or eyebrow grooming. But what do I really use this for? Well, can you guess it right? As a makeup base. Either as a moisturizer or as a primer. I even mix a bit of this together with my favorite matte liquid foundations so as to prevent my face from looking flat like a freshly baked ciabatta bread. LOL! But yeah, this is really great to add a natural, dewy and subtle luminosity on the face. Just be careful not to put a lot, or else you’ll look very oily.
