Becca Taupe, Truffle, Souffle Ultimate Lipstick Love Reviews & Swatches
Taupe
Becca Taupe Ultimate Lipstick Love ($24.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium brown with moderate, warm undertones and a cream finish. The texture was lightly creamy, smooth without being slippery, and easy to apply in a single, fluid stroke.
It had opaque color coverage that adhered well to my lips and didn’t emphasize my lip texture. It wore well for four and a half hours and felt hydrating 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.

Even though Taupe and Souffle are more my types of shades, I’m really liking Truffle. I don’t believe I have anything like it, either. Looks like it would be a lovely dusty pink nude on me.
These are all pretty shades of the rosy brown family and as such they are definitely wearable all year round on a variety of skintones. Souffle would be my favourite.
I’m thinking I’ll just buy Revlon Mink as it already is on my wish list. 🙂
I like all three, they aren’t all that different from each other, it would be interesting to try them all, but that’s not a possibility these days. So, Mink it’ll be, it’s a lot cheaper so if I don’t like it, it’s not all that bad.
