Bite Beauty French Press Lip Gloss in Flat White | Review and Swatches

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

I love Bite Beauty, and have been collecting their lovely lip products since they launched at Sephora a few years ago. When the limited edition Bite Beauty French Press Lip Glosses launched I almost bought a few sight-unseen, but instead waited to see them in person at Sephora. There were a couple of shades that appealed to me, but I wanted to try the formula first, and I chose the one color to which I had a very strong visceral reaction– which was Flat White.

Bite Beauty French Press Lip Gloss in Flat White, which is described as a creamy pale pink, is a milky pale nude peachy pink with a shiny cream finish. It is not fully opaque, but more of a semi-opaque shade. It glides across the lips effortlessly, deposits color evenly and without streaks, and it is somewhat buildable. It can be sheered out, and while it applies evenly, I do find that it has a tendency to slightly settle into lip lines as do many colors in this family. I often apply this over a lip liner or lipstick, and there is never any settling in lip lines when worn this way. That said, I often wear it alone, and I do not find it prohibitively streaky– plus this is my most-worn color family, and therefore I reach for this gloss often.

The texture is lightweight, smooth and just the slightest bit tacky without being unpleasant, and it clings to the lips with tenacity and is longer wearing than many lip glosses. I tend to get between 3-4 hours of wear from each application, and I find the formula lightly hydrating and comfortable on this lips. The French Press Lip Glosses each have a distinct coffee scent that may bother people who do not care for scented lip products, but the scent fades soon upon application.

Given my penchant for nude pinks and lip glosses, this is a great fit for me. Furthermore, Bite Beauty lip products are cruelty-free and filled with heathy ingredients, therefore this was a sensible purchase for me.

According to Bite Beauty,

A limited-edition collection of coffee-inspired lip glosses that serves up indulgently creamy shine in warm, java hues.

Fuel up your lip look. This caffeinated collection of lip glosses creates a buzz with coffee-colored, creamy shine. Powered by rich, hydrating coffee butters and arabica cold press coffee oil, each comfortable, cushiony gloss glides on with an addictive, sweet mocha flavor. The warmed-up java hues range from milky nudes to bold browns with full-on color to satisfy every coffee craving.
