Shiseido lipstick 320 is almost the same as Grape, I had both and returned Grape cause I realized they are the same color

I went to the Bite Beauty Lip Lab a couple of weeks ago to customize a color I've been wanting - and I was wondering: for those of you who have done the same, did you notice any differences in your custom lipstick's formula versus the formula of their permanent lipsticks? I purchased "Cava" and LOVE how glossy and smooth it is, but my customized color is so much heavier/waxier/not as glossy and it settles into my lip lines. I'm pissed because it cost $39 and I had it formulated in the luminous creme finish, JUST like the permanent line, so why is it so different? Even the recipe card says it's a luminous creme...
It would really help to hear others' experiences, because I'm so disappointed with the formula of this lipstick. Is "Cava" just softer than their usual lipsticks or is my customized one just a dud?

Sorry to hear about your experience. I haven't tried the custom lipsticks, but I have Cava, along with several other Bite LC shades and I would say that Cava is completely typical of the formula. I'd contact their customer service.

Thanks for your response, katred. I just emailed them and may call tomorrow when they're open - I feel bad doing that, though, because I know they can get pretty busy on the weekends.
$39 is a lot for me, and I know their lipsticks are amazing (plus, according to your comment, that appears to hold true across the board) so I feel really...I don't know...disappointed, and wasteful. Like I just threw money away because, honestly, the formula of my custom lipstick literally deters me from wanting to wear it. It feels like a MAC satin, which I don't mind MAC satins but I don't love them enough to drop $39 on a custom color in that finish. And my "Cava" feels NOTHING like MAC's satin finish.
Ugh. I feel like not much can be done, because it's a customized lipstick and all. But I'll wait and see how it turns out.

There are 12 new Matte Creme Lip Crayons launching at Sephora! Bite's been posting about them as well as the new J. Crew collaboration on their IG a lot recently (three new colors).
Six are available now on Sephora.com and the other six are being released next month according to Temptalia.
@walkingdead, you created a monster because I totally want them all!

For anyone looking to pick up a few Bite Beauty lipglosses, I have put mine up in the clearance bin. I love them so much, but my allergy to Lanolin is rearing its ugly head. I can't wear them or the Agave Lip Mask any longer. It's such a bummer!!! I don't like it when my allergies interferes with my love for cosmetics. I can still wear their other goodies I have, but not them.

Thank you so much for posting these!! I was thinking of treating myself to one of these for my birthday, even though I'm on a no-buy for the summer. But since I've been so good about my no-buy, I'm thinking it's ok to treat myself to one little thing from a brand I love, right? I was debating between Peche and Tatin. Still kind of am, but leaning towards Tatin. Peche looks a little reddish in the sun, no?I just posted swatches in the Sephora thread!

You should totally treat yourself! Your birthday only happens once a year! I personally really like Pêche but it does lean a bit more reddish-coral than peach. It could pull differently on you depending on your skintone and lip pigmentation though! Bite posted these on their IG:Definitely post here if you have anymore
So OMG I need all of these! Thank you for the swatches!
I'll totally post more once my Sephora gets them in. I was bummed they only had 4 of the 6 from this release.

So I ended up going to Sephora to swatch the new matte creme lip crayons. They're really beautiful! I'm going to start with Peche and mayyyybe Sucre as an extra goody for myself so I can get the free sample I want from Sephora online. The other colors are beautiful as well, but I could easily think of dupes for them. I loved Tatin too, but it looks so much like Bite's pencil in Bouquet to me that I couldn't justify getting it.
Also can't wait for the next set of these babies to release!! There goes my summer no-buy, lol!
