Becca Sundae, Blush, Sorbet Ultimate Lipstick Love Reviews & Swatches
Sundae
Becca Sundae Ultimate Lipstick Love ($24.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with moderate, warm undertones and a luminous, cream finish. It had rich color payoff that applied well to my lips without tugging or dragging during application. The texture was lightly creamy, smooth, and lightweight and seemed to soften most of my lip lines. It wore well for four and a half hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

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.

Blush
Becca Blush Ultimate Lipstick Love ($24.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium pink with moderate, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly across my lips without tugging or dragging, though there was a smidgen of product in my deeper lip lines–not enough to be noticeable in person, thankfully.
The texture was lightly creamy, smooth, and lightweight with good adhesion. It lasted nicely for four and a half hours and felt hydrating over time.

The bullets look so similar, but I can see the tonal differences on your lips. I’d wear all of these, but I own two PMG’s which are close enough.
Not a “loser” in this trio. My favorite one is Sundae. It just looks very fresh and lively without being bright.
It would be hard to pick a favourite out of these excellent classically pink lipsticks. Whilst they are not cheap, the ratings are very good.
