BITE charm Agave Lip Mask in natural

by layla Make-up

The BITE charm Agave Lip Mask in natural has been on my desire listing for a bit while. I’ve heard numerous raves about it so lastly chosen it up during the Sephora VIB sale:

It retails for $36 CAD for 15g of product, as well as is made in Canada.

As you understand this is the week of poor evaluations so I’ll cut to the chase – I was less than amazed with this lip balm that everybody touts as a miracle product. I purchased this with the objective of utilizing it as a nighttime lip balm.  I had been utilizing the C.O. Bigelow ultimate 2X Lip radiate for ages however I was curious to try something different.

The tube has a security seal that needs to be pierced with the cap prior to using, like old-fashioned toothpaste tubes.

The consistency of the product is a extremely thick balm however not sticky. It’s a yellow colour however applies essentially remove to the lips.  There’s a small wonderful odor as well as taste however nothing easily identifiable – I assumption it’s the agave nectar?  I discovered it a bit waxy however it does seem to penetrate as well as offer hydration to the lips. However, I do not discover it to offer a long long lasting protective barrier like the C.O. Bigelow does. When I utilize this, by the morning, the product has disappeared off my lips, whereas the C.O. Bigelow is still completely covering my lips.

What truly provided me pause was that I felt a bit of a tingly feeling on my lips when I utilized the BITE Agave lip mask, so I inspected the ingredients:

Lanolin, organic Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, organic Agave Tequilana (Blue Agave) Nectar, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Unsaponifiables, organic Cera Alba (Beeswax), Flavor, Vanillin, Siraitia Grosvenori (Monk Fruit), Vanilla Tahitensis (Vanilla) Fruit Extract, organic Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Trans-Resveratrol, Vitis Vinefera (Grape) Oil, Tocopherol Acetate, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) flower Extract, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) flower Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil.

The only thing I can believe of is possibly the lanolin as it is not something I’ve utilized frequently before – I’ve discovered that some people are sensitive to it. It wasn’t a full blown reaction, however it just felt itchy as well as unpleasant instead of a soothing or feeling of relief when using this lip balm.

The final straw was after just THREE uses, the darn tube busted open at the bottom!!!

At very first I believed I unintentionally smeared the lip mask on my hand however then I realized it was oozing out the wrong end when I was squeezing it out to apply to my lips.  The entire length of the end had split open. I’ve checked out that people recommend to warm the tube up in the hands or with a hair dryer very first before using. I ain’t got no time for that! I kept the tube at space temperature in my washroom cupboard – there shouldn’t be such a struggle to capture the product out. What a disappointment.

I’m bringing this back to Sephora. Not exchanging it, I’m just returning it and getting my money back (this is why I rushed to get this evaluation up so I can go return this darn thing!)  The formula is method as well thick for this tube format, BITE charm ought to truly think about putting this into a pot instead or improving the material utilized for the tube.  For $36, I’d believe they would utilize some premium grade, bust-proof plastic, c’mon!

Pros:
• includes natural high high quality ingredients
• smells as well as tastes nice
• Emollient, non-sticky formula

Cons:
• Doesn’t last as long as I like
• Packaging fail
• possible allergy to product
• Expensive

Stash Worthiness: 2/10

I understand this is all personal preference since this product is well evaluated online, however it just wasn’t for me – I’ll stay with my $8 tube of C.O. Bigelow instead.  Have you tried this, what did you think? What lip balm do you utilize at night before bed?
