Lip Lab By Bite lets you customize your kiss in Las Vegas

For a cool experience that combines fun and shopping, stop into Lip Lab By Bite at FSLV—Fashion Show Las Vegas. Nestled just off the main corridor in the shopping complex lies the Lip Lab. Here, you can create a custom lip color that is available for you to take with you, right then and there. And with autumn here, it might be the right time to try a new shade.

First, you’ll be escorted to your seat around a curving bar, where huge palettes filled with jars of color sit in front of each station. Your lab “tech” will quiz you on what you want, then you’ll choose a finish (like shiny or matte), a fragrance (vanilla was mine!) and your preferred shade. Your tech will take the input you give and create swatches for you to sample before you make a final choice. Go ahead and be picky; it’s your color. If you like it, then a batch will be mixed up right before your eyes. If not, you can try another swatch. 

Once the ingredients are mixed in the proper ratios, the color is melted. Then your tech will pour it into a mold and put it in a freezer for cooling. While you are waiting for that to happen, you’ll choose a custom name for the color and a font, then wait as a laser engraves the name on the tube. Your tech will seat the lipstick, pop on the magnetic (!) lid, and, voila, you are done. Wow. 

There are other items for sale in the boutique, like primer and liner, and you can add a second tube on for a reduced price. And the whole experience is perfect for bonding—friends, mother-daughters, or bachelorette parties (you can even buy out the whole lab).
