I don’t know about you, but I feel the need to be wearing a red lipstick on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. It just feels like a seasonal requirement, you know?
Over the years, I’ve changed up what red I wear on that particular festive day. Sometimes it’s MAC’s Russian Red, sometimes Too Faced’s Melted Berry (which is arguably more berry-toned than RED-RED, but hey, whatever!) or the cheap-but-beautiful Wet n Wild Stoplight Red.
This year I’m going a bit deeper in tone with Bite Beauty‘s Amuse Bouche holiday release, the aptly named Mistletoe! Isn’t is a beauty? It’s a beautiful deep, dark red with a faint hint of brown.
As with the rest of the Amuse Bouche range, Mistletoe is exceptionally comfortable to wear and has a light citrus scent and taste. It also has a satin finish, but I would personally classify it as more of a cream since there’s a bit more sheen to the lips than I would expect for a satin.
For me, nothing beats a festive red lip and Mistletoe is a definite stunner!
So how about you? Are you a red lip fiend for the holidays like me? Or do you wear another staple colour throughout the holidays? Let me know! And since today is Christmas Eve, and regardless of whether or not you actually celebrate this holiday, I’d like to wish you a wonderful time spent with family and friends. 🙂
Bite Beauty‘s limited edition Mistletoe shade can be purchased on sephora.ca for $30 CAD or on sephora.com for $26 USD.
The product featured in this post was sent to me for consideration.
This shade is gorgeous! I live derp reds like this. I opted to wear a red/berry toned eyeshadow instead of lips this year!

I am laughing hysterically over the fact that your phone (I suspect) corrected “I loved deep reds” to “I live derp reds”. Ahhhahahah! And yessss! Berry/red toned shadows are beautiful!
Such a gorgeous shade! How do you stop reds from migrating across your face? I always have that problem with creams/non matte liquid lip formulas 🙁
I have to use a lip primer/invisible lip liner, but they’re not all created equal. The best that works for me is MAC’s Prep + Prime (the lip version), it’s the only one that stops bleed out on ALL creamy lip products! I’ve tried powders on the rim of my lips, blotting, lip liners, yadda yadda yadda. This is the ONLY thing 100% guaranteed to work for me!
