Bite Beauty Black Coffee, Dirty Chai, Flat White French Press Lip Glosses Reviews & Swatches

Black Coffee

Bite Beauty Black Coffee French Press Lip Gloss ($22.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a deep plum with subtle, warm undertones and barely-there micro-shimmer. It had semi-sheer coverage that applied smoothly but sank into my lip lines with moderate shine. From afar, the shine helped to minimize the appearance of the color settling into my lip lines but not entirely, so one’s tolerance for that will really come into play. The consistency was smooth, lightweight, and a touch tacky but not heavy or uncomfortable to wear. It wore well for five hours and was very hydrating while worn.

Formula Overview

$22.00/0.15 oz. - $146.67 Per Ounce

The formula is described as a mix of "milky nudes to bold browns with full-on color." They are supposed to be "comfortable, cushiony" with a "sweet, mocha flavor" and scent. There are six shades, and they semi-sheer to mostly opaque coverage, and some were buildable as two layers were still comfortable to wear. The texture was lightweight, creamy so the color spread well across my lips, but there was a light level of tackiness that helped keep the gloss in place. The shades wore between four and five hours on me, but they were all extremely hydrating while worn and over time. Some shades applied beautifully with little to no settling or streaking, but a couple of shades pulled into my lip lines more noticeably.

Dirty Chai

Bite Beauty Dirty Chai French Press Lip Gloss ($22.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a soft, medium coral with warm, rosy undertones and barely-there, gold micro-pearl. The gloss applied smoothly and evenly across my lips, and the plush, smooth consistency seemed to minimize the appearance of many of my lip lines. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that stayed on well for five hours and was moisturizing over time.
