French Press

Bite Beauty French Press French Press Lip Gloss ($22.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium, reddish brown with subtle, warm undertones and barely-there pearl. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied evenly on my lips with a lightweight, lightly tacky texture that sat well on my lips and felt comfortable. There was a very small amount of color that sat in my lips but wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. The gloss lasted well for five hours on me and was hydrating over time.

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.

Salted Caramel

Bite Beauty Salted Caramel French Press Lip Gloss ($22.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium peach with warm undertones and fine, micro-pearl with a high-shine finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that covered the lips without streaking, but the milky quality of the gloss seemed to allow it to settle into my lip lines. The shine distracted from the settling somewhat but not entirely when I looked at my lips from a normal viewing distance (rather than magnified). The consistency was lightweight, lightly sticky but smooth and spreadable. It was comfortable to wear, as the formula felt hydrating, and it wore well for four and a half hours on me.

Vanilla Latte

Bite Beauty Vanilla Latte French Press Lip Gloss ($22.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a light-medium peach with strong, warm yellow undertones paired with a shiny, glossy finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that did not apply evenly and gathered very noticeably into my lip lines. For me, this was one of the worst applying shades in the range. The texture was lightweight and smooth with a touch of tackiness, but it never felt glue-like. It stayed on well for four hours and was quite moisturizing.
