The lipstick 'Rebel' by MAC, probably has to be one of the best autumn lip colours EVER!
I recently purchased it and have become obsessed by it! It's the perfect berry purple and just screams autumn! However...I have now come across a dupe for this lipstick. And this dupe happens to only cost £1!!
Left: MAC 'Rebel'
Right: Makeup Revolution 'Rebel with a cause'
The dupe in question is called 'Rebel with a cause' and its by Makeup Revolution. Makeup Revolution do a lot of dupes for higher end brands such as Too Faced, Urban Decay & Stila. And they are blooming amazing at it! I love their products because they are so cheap and yet they are high end quality. I guessed that this lipstick would be a dupe for Rebel, seeing as the name of it would also suggest so too! I decided to buy it seeing as it was only £1!
So as you'll be able to see from the above pictures, the two lipsticks look exactly the same. They are the exact same shade of colour and I do believe that the Makeup Revolution lipstick was made to be an exact dupe of Rebel. The two lipsticks do have some differences though, and that can really weigh up the decision of what one would be best to buy.
MAC's 'Rebel' is a satin finish lipstick - meaning its neither matte nor creamy, but more in-between the two. MAC lipsticks are very pricey as many of you I'm sure will know! And recently the prices seem to have gone up again to £15.50. This lipstick is so pigmented and so easy to apply. It does sometimes bleed a little, so is always best to use a lip liner prior to applying it. The staying power is fantastic - it stays on for hours and you barely need to touch it up, even after eating and drinking.
Makeup Revolutions 'Rebel with a cause' is such a fantastic dupe, and it only costs you £1 which is amazing. The colour is exactly the same, however the finish is different. It is more of a creamy lipstick, so therefore is not going to stay on your lips anywhere near as long as rebel does. It's really easy to apply and doesn't need lip liner as much as rebel does, however using a lip liner would probably help to make the lipstick stay on longer.
The two lipsticks are both fantastic and are also both worth purchasing. If you are on more of a budget, I would obviously recommend the Makeup Revolution dupe. And the same if you are wanting to try out Rebel, but are not sure if the colour will suit you. If you want more of a long lasting lipstick, then rebel is for you! It will obviously cost you a whole lot more than the dupe, but it will last longer and you will honestly fall in love with it.
I think both lipsticks are fantastic, but which one you choose depends on you and what you are willing to pay. I would recommend both though, and I know I will get a lot of use out of them this Autumn!!
