So I went to the rouge bite event & while I'm happy they offered the event it was kind of a let down. When I got there, there were about 15 people in from of me(the line started at the door). It took a little over an hour to even get to the door & then I realized why the line & wait time was so long. You didn't even need to show your Rouge card to get in. Just like any other rouge "perk" it seemed to be open to anyone. Now I'm not against sharing a deal with a friend or two, heck if I knew it was open for anyone I would've invited my non-rouge friends along as well. But it just seems unfair that as a rouge we have to spend $1,000 a year to get these events offered to us, yet someone can walk by the street & realize they're giving away free lipstick and get in on it as well. Aside from that, the bite beauty lab was awesome. They mix their existing colors of your choice to make your own custom color. You also get to pick the finish & even pick a scent for the lipstick! You get to swatch it on your lips to see if you like it & if you don't you can add or take away from the formula until the color is perfect. Initially I wanted an everyday work color, but when I saw a color named " rose cuvée" I fell in love. My " formula" was 1/2 rose cuvée, 1/4 quince, & 1/4 vourray. The actual mixing of the lipstick was pretty fast, it only took about 10 mins to mix, cool down, and go into the tube. However they do suggest refrigerating for about 30 mins once you get home to make sure it doesn't break. Overall I'm very happy with the lipstick and I just feel that sephora needs to find the perfect balance between being open to all rouges, but not everyone.
