Garnet
Becca Garnet Ultimate Lipstick Love ($24.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium red with muted, warm undertones and a cream finish. The texture was creamy enough that it didn’t tug on my lips as I applied it, but the product didn’t move around noticeably while I had it on either, so it offered comfort and adhesion.
It had opaque color coverage that went on evenly and softened most of my lip lines. The color lasted well for six hours, left a faint stain behind, 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.

Cranberry
Becca Cranberry Ultimate Lipstick Love ($24.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a slightly muted, medium-dark red with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. The texture was incredibly smooth, creamy without being heavy or overly slippery, so it glided on readily but didn’t slide around while worn.
It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single stroke, which stayed on nicely for five and a half hours and felt hydrating over time.
