Review | MAC Lipstick in Rebel

 
MAC Rebel Lipstick is probably one of my favourite lipsticks of all time. Whilst it is quite a daring colour if you only really dabble with brighter lipsticks, it is still a beautiful shade that I adore wearing throughout the year.
I received it as a Christmas present from my little sister, and I really didn't expect to wear it as much in the hotter months as I do. I kind of thought that a dark plum colour would be quite festive, but I really have found it wearable during the summer time.
 
Rebel is described as a Midtonal Cream Plum on the MAC website, but personally I think when its on the lips, it is just a very bright pink. It looks incredibly dark in the tube, but that's not how it transfers onto the lips.
It is a Satin Finish, which means it has a very smooth, slightly glossy look when on the lips.
Staying power is great with this lipstick. I have worn it out many times, and even though it does wear off after time, you are left with lovely 'berry' stained lips.
 
Overall I really do love this lipstick, and really do recommend it if you are looking for a very versatile lip colour.
 
Just an additional note: I haven't bought a MAC Lipstick for a while, and has anyone else noticed that the prices have creeped up to £15!!! I use to pay £13.50 when I first started buying MAC Lipsticks!

Work Experiece Outfits


Hi Ladies. A few weeks ago I went on a work experience placement to a local newspaper. I had a really wonderful time and loved every minute of it. I took a picture each day of my outfits, as I wanted to share it with you- and I haven't done a fashion post for so long! Excuse the bad quality of the photos, they were taken on my iPhone! I hope you enjoy the post!
