Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask Review

A while back, in an act of desperation, I bought the Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask. I wanted to find the perfect lip drink to heal my ravaged lips. Between the biting and the dryness of winter, they needed extra TLC.

My Thoughts

My Naked Lips

These are my lips and as you can see, they were in rough shape. I bite them, though I’m working hard at quitting that bad beauty habit. Hey, I quit biting my nails, I can do my lips, too!

This is after immediately applying the lip mask. You can see it adds moisture and shine, pluming them a bit.

Wearing Bite beauty Agave Lip Mask

This is after using the  mask for a week.  My lips are looking healed, plumper and healthier.

I’ve been using this mask since the beginning of January and I think it’s absolutely fantastic. It deeply moisturizes and conditions my lips. It seems to fill out my fill lines (from dryness and biting) and heal them. I think my lips have never looked better. It does seem like this mask will last me a very long time. I feel like I’ve barely made a dent in it after several weeks.

The ingredients are interesting. I’m really impressed with the fact that it has the antioxidant benefits of 15 glasses of red wine. I was surprised they chose to use lanolin (derived from sheep grease, as far as I’m aware). The the agave nectar, grape, olive and jojoba oils are all great for the lips. I’m surprised you don’t see mango or shea butter in the list. It would be nice to see a version of this made without lanolin.

I will say that for once, I do not like the packaging. I’m afraid the metal-feeling tube is going to rip. I try to gently squeeze the mask out, but sometimes it sticks. Don’t attempt to roll it like a toothbrush tube, or you’ll break it. I do appreciate that it is in this packaging to try and keep it fresh, I just wish it was easier to get out. (Edit: the tube has ripped and there is a tiny hole in it. I find this incredibly disappointing).

Other than that, I think it’s an awesome mask.

Edit: Because the packaging sucks, I had to throw the tube away before I’d gone through half of it. It ripped. While I do like the produt, I definitely will NOT repurchase because of the bad packaging. I’m now on the hunt for the perfect lip mask.

Pros

  • Cruelty Free
  • Extremely Moisturizing
  • Has lots of Antioxidant benefits

Cons

  • I dislike the packaging
  • the packaging has ripped and there is now a hole in it

  1. The ingredients on the packaging differ from the ingredients you have listed, at least for the one I own. Did you get the ingredients list from Sephora? Their’s also differs from the packaging. For me, the third ingredient is organic shea butter. LOVE THIS PRODUCT! <3

    1. My ingredients listing came from Sephora’s site. I wonder why they changed it! It’s not like I bought it that long ago :/

  2. I own and love this and I’m so glad I read NOT to roll the tube. I was planning on rolling mine because it seemed like the right thing to do. I’ve only had mine for a week and if the packaging busts right away I will consider returning it. I do like it but for $26 the packaging could use improvement.

  3. I’m so disappointed about the packaging but I still want to try this. I’ll save my receipt just in case.

  4. I’ll definitely purchase this soon. I’ve read nothing but rave reviews so it’s worth a try!

  8. lanolin is a waxy substance secreted by sheep. It coats and protects their wool and is stripped from wool used for clothes, fabrics, etc… I’m mildly allergic to it, which I found out because my family had a small flock of sheep as a child.

    1. Yeah, I’m personally not bothered by lanolin since it can be cruelty free, but it’s kind of weird to think of it as sheep grease.

  10. This is actually the first review I’ve seen, even though its in all my beauty advertisements. I definitely want to get my hands on this, my lip-moisturizing routine has gotten out of control. But it’s a bummer to hear about the packaging D: I hope you were able to salvage what’s left!

    1. I’m keeping it in a small ziplock baggie. Every time I use it, a little bit seeps out the hole. It’s like a weird bendy aluminum packaging. I didn’t try to roll it up like a toothpaste tube. Instead i was applying pressure gently from the bottom up, so it really surprised me that it packaging got all weird.

  11. I’m seeing a lot of reviews of this product! It seems pretty unique in being a mask. I usually apply regular lip balm before bedtime, and I wonder if this would do much more,..or if it would come off on my pillow as soon as I fell asleep! lol. You would think for the price, the packaging would be a bit more thoughtful and sturdy.

  14. I would much rather have red wine in this format 🙂 As a fellow lip biter I’m very intrigued to find out if that lip mask can help my hopeless lips, too.

  16. Wow! That is a huge difference. My lips look just like your before picture, I bite them too and it’s such a bad habit. I totally sympathize. I may have to pick some of this up. I have been using a Lip Fusion product which has been helping, but it’s been below freezing here with wind chills approaching -30, so I may need something even more heavy duty.

  17. I have heard good things about this and I want to try it. I’ve had good luck with Lanolin in the past but I did not know it was from sheep grease, that’s disturbing :/

    1. It really is! the price doesn’t bother me because of the anti-aging ingredients, the amount and the way it works. I just hate the packaging.
