I don’t know about you, but I feel the need to be wearing a red lipstick on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. It just feels like a seasonal requirement, you know?

Over the years, I’ve changed up what red I wear on that particular festive day. Sometimes it’s MAC’s Russian Red, sometimes Too Faced’s Melted Berry (which is arguably more berry-toned than RED-RED, but hey, whatever!) or the cheap-but-beautiful Wet n Wild Stoplight Red.

This year I’m going a bit deeper in tone with Bite Beauty‘s Amuse Bouche holiday release, the aptly named Mistletoe! Isn’t is a beauty? It’s a beautiful deep, dark red with a faint hint of brown.

As with the rest of the Amuse Bouche range, Mistletoe is exceptionally comfortable to wear and has a light citrus scent and taste. It also has a satin finish, but I would personally classify it as more of a cream since there’s a bit more sheen to the lips than I would expect for a satin.

For me, nothing beats a festive red lip and Mistletoe is a definite stunner!

So how about you? Are you a red lip fiend for the holidays like me? Or do you wear another staple colour throughout the holidays? Let me know! And since today is Christmas Eve, and regardless of whether or not you actually celebrate this holiday, I’d like to wish you a wonderful time spent with family and friends. 🙂

Bite Beauty‘s limited edition Mistletoe shade can be purchased on sephora.ca for $30 CAD or on sephora.com for $26 USD.

Alright, we are getting down to the wire for Christmas gifts (ones to pick up for yourself AND for others! ;)). Bite Beauty always puts out gorgeously cute mini sets for the holidays and this year was no different!

One of the more enticing and unique items that Bite puts out are their Lipstick Duos. They’ve updated these duos to include their Amuse Bouche lipstick formula as well as update the colours available.

Each lipstick is double ended and you have to keep in mind that they are mini versions of the lipstick itself. A lot of people are shocked when they first open the package (as was I when I got my first one years back), but I’ve found these tiny bullets to be so freaking handy when I’m on the go. And let’s be real here: sometimes you don’t need a full lipstick tube!

Each duo comes with a primary lip colour which is your more standard every day lip shade, but on the other end it comes with something the makeup community has started calling a lip topper. Sure, you could wear the gold shade on its own, but when you put it on top of Sour Cherry, it adds a little extra oomph to the lipstick!

While the Amuse Bouche Lipstick Duos are readily available online right now, you may find the highly coveted Perfect Bite set is a little bit harder to come by (check your local Sephora stores!).

Encased in a beautiful tin with an enormous mirror on the inside, Bite‘s The Perfect Bite set is a holiday staple for the brand. They include four mini sized lipsticks in some of their more commonly sold shades which makes this a great way to try the brand out.

I’ve been raving about Fig for quite some time, but I’ve never picked up the other shades so I’m super happy to be able to try them all out without committing to a full size lipstick.

So there we have it! Bite‘s adorable holiday presents in the form of bite size lipsticks. You can still purchase the duos online at sephora.ca for $17 CAD each or on sephora.com for $14 USD each. I no longer see The Perfect Bite set online, but definitely call up your local Sephora to find out if they have stock!
