MAC | REBEL REVIEW


Now that Autumn seems to be making an appearance, i've started thinking more about the A/W beauty trends and my collection will soon transition from vibrant pinks and coral to sultry reds and purples. This purchase was another airport buy, this time from Bangkok, I had some Thai Baht left at the end of my holiday and since its a currency I don't think ill be using again for a while I wanted to use it up. MAC lipsticks over there worked out to be just under £13 so a little cheaper than the UK.



MAC Rebel is a shade I've heard a lot of bloggers and beauty lovers rave about it and its always mentioned in favourite MAC lipstick posts. Although it's only early september and I've just got back off holiday, the cold weather seems to be making an appearance pretty quick - great week long summer England had! With the cold weather comes the jumpers, boots and dark lip colours and now I'm on the hunt for the perfect shades, in comes Rebel.



Rebel is described by MAC as a mid tonal cream plum shade with a satin finish. Once applied it becomes a little brighter than it looks in the tube with a deep fuchsia berry shade. I like this shade as its the perfect dark shade for winter but not so dark that it will wash my skin out. Being blonde when I wear dark lip shades I find it looks better on my with a bit of a tan so my hair and skin are washed out.

The satin finish of Rebel applies smoothly to lips and has a lovely sheen to it without seems too thick. I also love the moisture you get with a satin finish and doesn't dry my lips out like I find with the matte effect. I can see this fast becoming a favourite of mine now the nights are getting darker and winter clothes will be returning.


Do you any of you have rebel?

  7. This looks super scary in the bullet, but looks like it could be a gorgeous colour! I did have MAC Plumful on my list next, but I think this might be close second! Very Autumnal!
