My lips but butter - Rodial's Glamstick in Bite

Lip products as you know are my ultimate weakness. I own far more than I can ever use in this lifetime, and despite my collection literally overflowing from the Muji drawers in which they are kept I still keep buying more.

Bad for my bank. Good for the blog.

Anyhow, as you can imagine this means that more often than not most of my lipsticks/balms/glosses never get much love, let alone finished. In fact I think Mac's Hue is the ONLY lipstick I've ever used up completely. Luckily though, at the rate I'm currently applying my latest lip love it won't be the only one for long.

Meet Rodial's Glamstick in Bite.

This futuristic looking fella has been in my possession for just over a month now, and I'm almost all out. A back up is ready and waiting already - meaning this really is true lip love.

Talking of Hue, Bite is not dissimilar in shade when swatched and more importantly applied. It gives the lips the same subtle wash of milky nude, slightly dusky pink. AMAZING. The only difference really between the two are the formulas.

While Hue is a traditional lipstick, albeit on the sheerer more natural side; Bite is a Glamstick which is a Vitamin E/Cocoa Butter enriched, Coconut flavoured tinted (well pigmented) lip butter.  

The consistency is seriously gorgeous. Like most lip butters it's rich and hydrating, but what I really enjoy about the Glamstick other than the shade is its lipstick form. I CAN'T stand lip products in pots! 
 
Ignore my au natural brows and unkempt hair in the pic above and simply focus on my lips for a second. How pretty is Bite? It is in my opinion the nicest my lips but butter (get it!) shade. Not too nude, not too pink - just right.

Now, a product this lovely doesn't come cheap. Rodial's Glamsticks are just under twenty quid at £19 which I know is a lot for a lip butter, but in my opinion they're well worth it. This isn't one of those risky pout purchases that will sit unloved in your collection, it's so damn wearable that you won't be able to keep it off your lips.  Well, I certainly can't anyway!

What do you think? Up your street?

I am a big fan of nude colours and i agree that this shade is gorgeous! Hue is one of my favourite lipcolours too aswell as Estee Lauder's pink sand which has been my trusty 'go to' lipstick for years now! Thanks for the recommendation~ I have always been wanting to try out products from Rodial X x X x

Now that’s what I call a perfect colour. I always like it so simple and shining and this has all of it.

This is such a lovely colour, I really want to buy it but I don't feel comfortable buying into Rodial as a brand, I dislike the message they send out. Looks lovely on you!

Holly said...
