COVERGIRL The Bite PH Transforming Lip Gloss — 130 Hawkins Lab green-to-pink shimmer, vegan Cruelty-Free finish

COVERGIRL x STRANGER THINGS The Bite PH Transforming Lip Gloss in 130 Hawkins Lab is a limited-edition, vegan gloss that changes from green shimmer to a custom pink shade based on your skin's pH and tone.

This collectible collaboration blends Stranger Things-inspired visuals with a fun, interactive beauty experience. The gloss applies sheer and buildable, offering a unique final color for each wearer as it reacts to natural chemistry. Formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, or mineral oil and approved by Cruelty-Free International, this piece is both playful and conscious. Available in two theatrical shades—including 130 Hawkins Lab, a shimmer green that morphs into a personalized pink—it's designed to give you a show-stealing finish that’s never exactly the same twice.

How does the gloss change color on my lips?

The transformation is driven by a pH-reactive dye in the formula that interacts with your skin’s natural acidity and undertone. When applied, the initial green shimmer reacts and gradually shifts to a sheer pink that varies in depth and warmth from person to person. The result is a custom hue rather than a one-size-fits-all shade.

• pH-reactive pigments create a personalized pink finish.
• Initial green shimmer offers a dramatic in-tube look.
• Shade intensity depends on individual skin chemistry and application layers.

What kind of coverage and finish should I expect?

The Bite PH Transforming Lip Gloss provides a sheer, buildable wash of color with a glossy, luminous finish. One plush swipe gives lightweight shine and subtle tint; adding layers increases color payoff and sheen without feeling heavy. The shimmer in Hawkins Lab gives a transfixing, dimensional glow that catches light for an eye-catching effect.

• Sheer to medium coverage with layered application.
• High-shine, non-sticky gloss finish.
• Shimmer particles add depth and reflective dimension.

Is the formula safe and suitable for sensitive or cruelty-conscious shoppers?

The formula is vegan and crafted without common irritants such as parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and mineral oil, making it a cleaner choice among novelty cosmetics. COVERGIRL’s Leaping Bunny approval from Cruelty-Free International confirms no animal testing. As with any cosmetic, patch testing is recommended if you have extreme sensitivities or known ingredient reactions.

• Vegan formulation for ethical consumers.
• Free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and mineral oil.
• Leaping Bunny approved by Cruelty-Free International (CFI).

How should I apply and layer this gloss for best results?

For a subtle everyday look, apply one slick swipe across bare lips and blot gently for a soft wash of pink. For more dramatic color and shine, build with multiple swipes and allow the pigment to develop between layers. You can also layer over a lip liner or matte base for longer wear and more defined shape.

• One plush swipe for sheer, everyday color.
• Layer 2–3 times for added depth and shine.
• Use over liner or matte lipstick to intensify hue and longevity.

Who is this for: The Bite PH Transforming Lip Gloss in 130 Hawkins Lab is ideal for fans of Stranger Things, collectors of limited-edition beauty, and anyone who enjoys playful, interactive makeup that delivers a unique shade per wearer. It suits those who prefer glossy finishes and customizable color without animal-derived ingredients or several common additives. If you like cosmetics that offer showy in-package visuals and a personal, one-of-a-kind result on application, this gloss is crafted for you.
