MAC REBEL REVIEW

Applied sheerly and dabbed in

Full colour

I've had better ideas than decide to shoot pictures of my face at 9pm, with hair that needs a wash, only mascara, concealer and whats left of my eyebrows (apart from the lipstick obv) but when productivity comes you need to take it and use it. Also reaaaaally need a decent camera - these pictures looked so clear on my iphone but the moment I put them here and enlarge them, um clearly not, apologies. 

Enough about that, time for the colour. I was so set on getting a nude (browny pink, my lips but better, nice and sheer and glossy) and somehow I walked out with a purple - say what? I think the reason I brought it home is that when swatched it comes out a lovely berry pink, which is just enough in my comfort zone for me to justify it, but still feels a little bit wild. The Satin finish feels nice on the lips and the colour is actually fairly wearable (I judge this by how I don't look completely stupid wearing it with the minimal makeup above, but I would still pull this and any other bright/dark colour off better with eyeliner, stronger brows and a fair bit of bronzer)

Today I wore this lipstick dabbed in, and although admittedly it could have met a little Urban Decay Setting Spray when I was getting ready, I got at least five hours wear before wedges, cheese and gravy (new year new me) defeated the lipstick. Still found this impressive -  it survived a banana and lots of glasses of water, much longer than most my other lipsticks (including the rest of my little MAC collection which last a couple of hours at best - maybe because Rebel is the only one that's properly bright?)

Same great bullet style packaging as any other MAC lipstick, same great smell - but this is one lipstick I would really recommend, if it suits me I'm sure it can look beautiful on most other people, and the lasting power is not to be sneered at.
