I noticed one of the beauty bloggers I follow mentioned a great gift for points at Sephora: Bite Beauty Limited Edition Mimosa Red Lipstick and Gloss Minis, 250 points.
I have been stockpiling points for a while so I decided to take advantage of this gift because I am a big fan of Bite Beauty lippies. What I like best about Bite Beauty is that the lip products are made with food-grade ingredients. So if I’m going to end up ingesting at least part of my lipstick, I’d like it to be safe to consume! Also, something I just found out is that the lipsticks are hand-crafted! Wow.
I called my local Sephora to see if they had the Bite Beauty lippie gift in stock, and the girl I got on the phone said they had plenty. Because of my religious holiday this week, I wasn’t able to get there till the next day. Surprise! They were out of stock. Fortunately, the Sephora in JC Penney had some! What I also learned that it’s not necessary to buy anything to redeem gift points. Yay, because I didn’t really need anything today. (Such restraint!) 😆
Inside the Bite Beauty red box, I found a cute little red Bite Beauty lipstick mirror and a mini lipstick and mini lipgloss. The Mimosa red shades are gorgeous!
The red Luminous Creme Lipsticks in the Bite Beauty line have a sharp angled tip so it’s easy to get a crisp line.
Here’s one swipe of limited edition Mimosa Luminous Creme Lipstick on it’s own:
and with the matching Lush Fruit Lipgloss over it:
The lipgloss is almost opaque on its own. It goes on with a fruity scent that goes away immediately. It’s not very sticky, and it stays put.
Oooh, what a cute little treat! If you’re a red lippie lover and have Sephora points that you’d like to use, act fast ‘coz these won’t be around for much longer!
The full-size Bite Beauty Mimosa lipstick is $24 and the lipgloss is $22 (though I didn’t see lipgloss in the Mimosa shade on the Sephora website).
I am sooo in love with Bite products. Their lipsticks are my fav!

If you’ve got Sephora points lying around, it’s worth it to go for these cuties!
More red lippies that look made for you! 🙂
Thank you, Laura! I was glad to get my hands on these!
I absolutely LOVE BITE Beauty! What a great perk! I love this shade of red on you!

Aren’t they great! Such a fun little gift
I love Bite Beauty! I got that little set, too. Such a great way to try their lippies.

I’m glad you were able to find it too, Nidia! Definitely a great starter set for those who haven’t tried Bite
This looks like a nice little way to treat yourself. The reds look really pretty. I’m nearing 4000 points and am saving for the next epic rewards round and hoping it won’t be another fail. Stacie xo

I see! I think it would take me years to get to the epic rewards level, so I mostly go for these smaller ones. I hope you’ll score something great next year!
This is the cutest little set ever! Those reds are gorgeous, great points spend!
Kristina Vieweg recently posted…Ipsy vs Birchbox | September 2015
Thank you! As a red lippie and Bite Beauty lover, I’m thrilled that I was able to find it!
This is the prettiest shade of red! So cool that they’re hand-made too. I like that they go so well together. Great score!
This duo really is a stunner, Natalie! I was so happy to be able to hunt it down at the JCP Sephora. I had no idea they were hand-made. Frankly, I’m not quite sure what that means when it comes to lipstick and gloss, but it sounds good 😉
I wish I was getting this- LOVE it. Totally worth the points!

I think it was worth hunting down!
That’s one of the best 250 pointers I’ve ever seen. If I wore red I’d be all over it.
MarciaF recently posted…What brought me back to POPSugar Must Have?
That’s a good one, Marcia! It is a wonderful perk, and as a red lippie lover, I lucked out in finding in stock at the JCP Sephora!
That is just the most marvelous red! It looks amazing on you! <3

Thank you, Shipra! I love it
Oh wow! This is a great set for the points. I didn’t realize that you could redeem your points without a purchase…files it away for future reference. lol
Tiki recently posted…Fighting Pimples With Osea Essential Corrective Complex
I didn’t know that either, Tiki, but it was a good surprise!
Oh, I didn’t know that you could redeem points without a purchase. I returned an item to Sephora today and like you .. left without another purchase. Such restraint indeed!
Monica.

Yay, good for us! Why buy something just for the sake of spending money, right? Yes, I was so happy to learn about not having to make a purchase to redeem points. Often I have passed on a great gift because I didn’t need to buy anything.
That’s such a pretty lipstick

Thank you! I love red.
That shade looks so good on you. I wish I could pull off red lips – but it just kinda washes me out 🙂
Thank you, Jes! I hear ya. I had blonde hair and it washed me out so I became a redhead, so I get it. Wear what suits you best!
Yay, I am so glad you got it!! Isn’t it the cutest little set? I don’t wear that much red so I am skipping this month’s perk, hoping for some purple next month!

Thank you,Agata! Yes, you are the purple queen! Hopefully, Sephora will oblige soon 🙂
Great shades! I love red! The color looks great on you. Beautiful!

Thank you, Sharon! I love it, and I love Bite Beauty lippies the most
I am sooo tempted to pick up this reward at Sephora! Love the shades 🙂
Do you wear red lipstick, Anastasia? Even if you don’t wear it often, these are mini-minis so it would be worth it. They’re so cute and Mimosa is a gorgeous red
Very pretty. On my monitor it looks like an orange/red is it?
Cindy (Prime Beauty) recently posted…The Lipstick League Presents Fall Collections!
Although both the lipstick and gloss are called Mimosa, the lipstick has some blue in it, but the gloss has a pinch of orange in it. Go figure! In person,they pretty much look like a true red.
I love BITE and those are gorgeous reds!

I love red & Bite Beauty lippies so I was thrilled to get this little set!
I’m so glad you picked this up! I haven’t gotten the September one yet. I may wait to see what October has in store!

This one from Sephora had my name on it. I hope you find that the October gift is a good one!
Those are some really beautiful reds. I love Bite Beauty and this looks and sounds like a fabulous perk.

Love your lipstick shades esp w/ lipstick and then with gloss! Good to know that they have food grade ingredients!

Bite Beauty really makes healthier lipsticks and glosses! I agree: I love the lipstick paired with the gloss. So red!
I just started playing with this set over the weekend and it is such a treat! I love these point perks.

The little teeny tiny lipstick is so cute, isn’t it? I’m happy I was able to get my hands on this perk. I still would love to get a shade made for me as you did one of these days 🙂
I know I’d love Bite Beauty too – once I finally get some, I think I’ll be good. I never remember to go for it!
Kat Dinges recently posted…Come Clean Soap – In Full Bloom
Maybe at the holiday time Sephora sale, Kat! Hopefully, they’ll bring back their mini lipsticks and mini lip crayons in little kits. It’s a great and affordable way to try a number of shades from Bite Beauty 🙂
I redeemed my points for the pink set of this and LOVE it! BITE is fab
That’s great, Jess! I didn’t know there was a pink set. It wasn’t at my local Sephora, but I’m a red gal so I probably would’ve stayed with it anyway, but now I want to see what the pink looks like!
I was eying this point perk as well — thanks for reviewing it! The quality of the products seem spot on with Bite Beauty, but the colors don’t seem like something I’d wear. Still beautiful, though 🙂
Katie Garvin recently posted…My Night Time Routine – Skin & Oral Care
Katie, someone else (Jess Scull maybe?) mentioned that the Bite Beauty duo perk comes in pink, too, and she got it. I’d check online for it or call your local Sephora and ask. It’s such a cute and useful little duo
