MAC 'Rebel' Dupe

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!!

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!

MAC 'Rebel' £15.50

Makeup Revolution 'Rebel with a cause' £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!!

Makeup Revolution Eyeshadow Palettes

Hi everyone!

My apologies for not blogging recently! I just haven't felt like blogging, but I have vowed to myself that I will get back into blogging. And today I have a post about a new makeup brand out in the UK (which I'm sure you're aware of them already!) - Makeup Revolution!

Makeup Revolution is an affordable brand which sells their stuff in Superdrug, and they also have a website - http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/

They are very similar to MUA, and I'm not sure if they are a sister brand, but they do some fantastic makeup! I recently did a haul video on my Youtube channel showing some of the fantastic stuff I got from them - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_kI0soVMyE

Prior to buying the stuff I got, a lot of my subscribers had recommended I try out their makeup. And one of their most raved about products was their eyeshadow palettes! So me being me, I got 3 palettes to try out!

One of the most highly recommended palettes was the Iconic 3 palette (above). I'd heard that it is a spot on dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. They also do an Iconic 1 & 2 palette - which I'm guessing are dupes for the Naked 1 & 2. But seeing as I already own the Naked 1 & 2 palettes - I thought I'd give the Iconic 3 a go before I buy the Naked 3. The pigmentation of the shadows are amazing, and the rose gold colours in the palette are just beautiful. I've become a bit obsessed with this palette - it's perfect for everyday wear. I highly recommend getting this palette if you are wondering what the Naked 3 palette is like.





The next palette I went for was the Romantic Smoked palette. I liked the darker colours in this palette and thought it would be good for the Autumn. This palette has 6 matte shades and 6 shimmery ones. It is quite similar to the Iconic 3 palette, but it has a few more darker colours which I think will be fab for the crease and smoking out the outer part of the eye. Again, the pigmentation is brilliant.





The final palette I went for was a complete gamble as I never usually wear colours like this at all! This is the Acid Brights palette - again, another popular one. Seeing as everyone and their dog has recently been getting the new Urban Decay Electric palette, I thought I'd go for a similar palette for a fraction of the price! This palette isn't a spot on dupe for the Electric palette - in fact it has MORE colours than the Urban Decay one! I don't usually wear colours like this, but I thought it would be a good palette to use for experimenting with different eye looks. And I could use the bright colours to brighten up a boring eye look. For example: if I was to do a coral eye, I could use the bright orange to add a pop of colour. The only downside with this palette is that it is a tad chalky. Especially the brightest colours which are not as pigmented as some of the more wearable ones. But I still think it's a great palette to use for playing around with. I think I could create some new funky looks with it - and it's cheap too!

These eyeshadow palettes are really fantastic. Makeup Revolution do more palettes which I am wanting to try out already. I love that these palettes are only £4 each!! And you get 12 eyeshadows per palette which are fantastically pigmented and each colour is very exciting. If you haven't tried out Makeup Revolution yet, I'd recommend to! They also do other fantastic products - check out my haul on my youtube to see more!
