I recently went to Bite Beauty Lab at Mall of America and what I thought would be such a fun and exciting experience definitely lacked all of it.
It snowed that day so the worker was late but that was understandable and it was really only like 15 min late so not too bad. Once in, they got us situated but when describing the process it felt like they were hot and cold. One minute they would be smiling and pleasant next it was cold and mean. I definitely got emotional whiplash from it but whatever. I wanted to complain since the lipsticks were expensive, I think for my 2 I paid a little over $100 plus tax. I could have gotten a handful of new beauty products for that price so that annoyed me but I felt bad getting a worker in trouble especially during the holiday season. So instead I do what I normally do and write a scathing email to myself and then later decided if I should email it to the company or not. In the end, I didn’t email it. It was a very fiery email and again would hate to get anyone in trouble but ughhh.
I love make up so much and consider it oddly in my head a friend. I wanted to have a great first impression of something I hold near and dear and it lacked it all. I mean it wasn’t like I was asking for much just some enthusiasm or at least a constant mood or to make the experience pleasant but it was nothing like what I expected.
I still remember when they opened up the first Bite Beauty Lab in NYC and dreaming of going there to make my personalized lipstick and when it came to MN I delayed going and finally making time to go it felt really overpriced and blah.
I had named my lipsticks Janet #2 because I tried to match the shade Janet from Nars Audacious as close as possible since they don’t make that shade anymore. I then chose Scott as my other name because I have Tom Ford lipsticks named Daniel, Dylan, and Logan already but I never bought the Scott one so I made my own.
While the experience wasn’t at all great, I do love the lipsticks I created and loved that one (pink) is a Satin Finish and one (gold) is a Sheer finish. I enjoyed my day at the mall with friends and hope if I ever go back to Bite Beauty Lab I hope my experience will be completely different.
