Made-in-Canada lipstick thats good enough to eat

I have conflicting feelings about lipstick. On the one hand, its one of my favourite makeup products to play with. A quick swipe and you can instantly change your look and mood. Feeling blue? Pack a punch of bright, fire-engine red. Want to let your inner bad bitch out? Choose a dark, dont-mess-with-me purple.

The only downside and its quite a big one is having to eat chemicals for the sake of beauty. Have you ever read the ingredients label on your favourite lip shade? Its frightening.

Canadian brand Bite Beauty can save you from all the potentially horrific side effects of consuming toxic lipstick for decades. Bite handcrafts lip products in Toronto from all-natural, food-grade ingredients. That means you can safely eat them although the company makes no claims when it comes to taste.

Bites newly released fall 2015 collection is full of lust-worthy hues inspired by Canadiana. We recommend the limited-edition Canadian Maple Matte Creme Lipstick, offered in patriotic shades like Candied Maple and Mulled Maple ($26) and the Maple Agave Lip Mask ($30, both at Sephora, 220 Yonge, 416-595-7227, and others, sephora.com) thats infused with real maple syrup and packed with antioxidants.
