Bite Beauty Lip Lab

I think it's awesome that anybody can make and create your own lipstick and that everybody should have a chance to make a lipstick

This place is amazing. I wanted a hot pink and Ms Kate nailed on the try. I will be back

The ladies were amazing and sweet, we did not have a reservation, and were able to make time for the three of us. The color selection and options were great, and definitely worth the time and money. I was very happy with my purchase and experience.

It is a very tight fit though, so if it is busy, expect to get to know your neighbors.

I don't understand the hate for this place because I had a very pleasant experience. I called them about 6 days before my actual appointment and received one with ease. The receptionst or employees there were able to accomodate my last-minute reservation from saturday afternoon to monday morning. As term of service and them tending to your custom lipstick color, it's good as it's going to get. Jaqueline helped me while another lady helped my cousin and my friend. We chatted about where we're from and where we were going to go next. They even gave us recommendations. They were really knowledgeable about the product. They let us know that the color you try on is less matte than the color you're going to get at the end. We also kept in mind of the colors we would like to get customized so it was in and out under 30 minutes. Keep in mind that we tried on the lip colors at least twice.
I made the appointment at early in the morning so there was essentially no crowd. There were 4 finishes you can pick from creme, matte, sheer, and deluxe (this finish is the most pigmented and last the longest). I ended up picking the matte finishes becuase I just can't deal with the glisten from the deluxe finish. My cousin picked matte as well while my friend picked the sheer finish. The sheer finish is also buildable so keep that in mind. It's good for those that want to carry something to put on every day and then if they go out at night they could use a heavier hand.
We all have different taste in lipstick colors and this lab satisfy all of preferences. My cousin prefer brown nudes with a slight pink/violet in her lipstick. My friend like the bright reds, but it needs to be wearable because she works in the office. I prefer a pink nude with a slight brown undertone so it won't be that pink.
For scent, you're able to smell each flavours. My cousin picked the mint. I picked mint and violet while my friend picked mint and cherry. The mint flavour is slightly overpowering so the other flavour you pick might be a second note to the mint.
As for the price, it's not expensive at all. To help you better gauge, Tom Ford is $50, Chanel is $34, Mac is $16, Too Faced Melted lipstick is $21, and their regular range is $24. This customized lipstick is ranging from $36 (creme, matte, sheer) or $48 (deluxe). If you want to wear your lipstick right away, you have to wait about 30 minutes so the lipstick can set into the packaging (there are four different shapes you can choose from as well).
It's perfect for those who want a group activities with their friends that are girls or guys that are into lipsticks (whichever, i don't judge, do you). It also a thoughtful birthday gift for your loved ones who are into make-up or have a problem finding the perfect lipstick. I arranged this for my cousin's birthday and she really liked it so you can't go wrong. It is also a souvenir gifts to ourselves as well so it was a memorable experience. I will definitely come back if I were to come back to New York.

Had fun making my own lipstick
