Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components on the Becca Cosmetics and not on the Lip Smacker.
- We flag 1,4-dioxane (solvent contaminant), Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components and Polymer film-forming agent irritation and accumulation on the Lip Smacker and not on the Becca Cosmetics.
- The Becca Cosmetics is Glycerin, silicones, pigments, film-formers (typical liquid cosmetic gloss) where the Lip Smacker is liquid lipstick, waterproof formula, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Becca Cosmetics is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Lip Smacker grade, at 35% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
