Bite Beauty‘s holiday launches are always a sweet treat! Whether you’re already an avid Bite-a-holic like me, or gifting to a Bite newbie, their holidays sets always offer old favourites with a new surprise in the mix.

Hands down the item that I was the most excited for this year was Bite‘s brand new Agave Lip Mask in the scent Candy Cane. CANDY CANE??? Oh heck yesssss! Not only did they launch Candy Cane in a full sized tube, but they also put it into a mini trio set of their Agave Lip Masks ($20 CAD/$18 USD). The trio set includes their original agave mask alongside the new Candy Cane scent and (my personal favourite) the Maple lip mask. Giftable or keepable, the trio set will delight anyone that gets their hands on it.

As for the Candy Cane Agave Lip Mask ($30 CAD/$26 USD)… it’s as good as you would image: luscious and balmy with a translucent candy red colour. The scent is bang on too – this isn’t any kind of fake candy cane scent. This truly smells like you cracked open a fresh candy cane and started sucking on it. You *will* find it hard not to eat it out of the tube outright. But hey… all of Bite‘s formulas are edible so if you end up snacking on your lips, it’s not that bad… right? 😉

Need a stocking stuffer that’ll knock it out of the park AND not set your wallet back by much? The Sweet Treats Agave Lip Care Sets are only $15 CAD/$12 USD and have a ton of product in them. Each set contains a mini Agave Lip Balm in Natural, a single use Agave Sugar Lip Scrub packet and a mini Agave Lip Mask. The only difference between the two sets is that the Party Prep pack comes with the Agave Lip Mask in Champagne, and the Holiday Hangover (lol) pack comes with their Lavender Lip Mask. Sidenote: these are sold out in stores at Sephora constantly but there’s still plenty of stock online!

Bite‘s mini lipsticks are an absolute godsend and I’m always happy to own these! They’ve repeated their mini four pack over the last few years and I’m always a bit worried that they’re going to repeat too many shades over the course of the years, but thankfully, this year’s Four Little Bites Amuse Bouche Lipstick Set ($29 CAD/$25 USD) was a total shock to me – with one exception, I hadn’t ever encountered these shades before!

The duplicated shade is Nori (they had it in the 2016 holiday set), but the rest are all brand new shades to me and they’ve quickly become new favourites!

Nori is the replicated shade, but it’s a stunner. This one does have a bit of a purple base so you may find there’s a slight bit of patchiness with this one. It goes on very smoothly and creamy – almost a touch too much, so I find this one is best blotted down a touch.

Tannin is a freaking stunner! It’s bright and luminescent – it’s the kind of red I adore wearing at Christmas time.

Date absolutely surprised me because it looked so boring in the tube. But as soon as I got it on my lips it was utterly transformative. Bite calls this shade a light brown, but on me it turned into more of a light-medium pink with warm undertones. I love, love, LOVE this one!

Sake was another surprising favourite in this bunch. I love how it’s not a traditional holiday colour because it’s got that edge of purple in it. It reminds me a bit of KVD’s Lovesick, which is great because I’ve been needing a replacement for that shade! This will pair nicely with bright cool toned eyeshadow looks.

So what are your picks from Bite‘s 2018 holiday collection? Will you be picking anything up? Or gifting anything? Let me know! I’m personally dead pleased with that Four Little Bites set – I love the shades in there!
