Becca Rouge, Sable, Chocolate Ultimate Lipstick Love Reviews & Swatches
Rouge
Becca Rouge Ultimate Lipstick Love ($24.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark orange-red with moderate, warm undertones and a cream finish. There seemed to be barely-there micro-shimmer throughout that gave it a more luminous sheen but did not make it appear shimmery in finish overall.
The lipstick felt creamy, smooth, and lightweight with just enough slip to be comfortable and easy to apply fluidly across my lips but not enough that it slid around during wear. It had rich color coverage that stayed on well for six and a half hours and felt hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$24.00/0.12 oz. - $200.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have an "ultra-creamy" texture with "eight-hour wear" and "pure color in one swipe." They're real bold with the "eight-hour wear" claim when it is a softer, creamier formula that's very comfortable to apply and to wear... and definitely not the longest-wearing formula I've come across--which is likely not a deal-breaker for those who aren't looking for long-wear.
The wear averaged between four and six hours with some of the deeper, richer shades (like a red or berry) lasting six hours or longer. They wore down evenly and were lightly to moderately hydrating while worn. The pigmentation was nearly opaque to opaque for most shades, and the majority of shades applied evenly and sat well on my lips without emphasizing my natural lip texture or settling into my lip lines.
They had a sweet, vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Becca Sable Ultimate Lipstick Love ($24.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark, reddish-brown with moderate, warm undertones and a soft, cream finish. It had excellent pigmentation in a single stroke, which adhered evenly and smoothly to my lips without emphasizing my lip lines.
The consistency was lightweight, creamy enough to glide across my lips but didn’t feel overly slippery during wear, and was comfortable to wear. It wore well for six and a half hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

Chocolate
Becca Chocolate Ultimate Lipstick Love ($24.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep brown with moderate, warm undertones paired with a glossy, cream finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without settling into or emphasizing my lip lines.
The consistency felt lightly creamy with some slip–more so than most shades in the range–but it wasn’t prone to feathering or sliding around during wear on me. It lasted nicely for six hours and felt hydrating while worn.

All three of these are really gorgeous. I particularly like Chocolate, for my daughter. She loves these deep, slightly brown shades. The shades are perfect for the autumn/winter.
All three are my perfect autumn/winter shades. I love them so much that I already have fairly similar shades like PML Strangé, MAC Paramount, CP On Repeat. If it weren’t for needing to mask up, I would likely buy Rouge.
I absolutely adore all of these shades, particularly Rouge and Sable. Not surprisingly, I do have dupes for them. But I still love them anyway.
