Review: MAC Lipstick in Rebel

Assalamu wa Alaykum/ Hi,

I've seen this lipstick around on YouTube before but lately it just really caught my eye. I was like 'I need that in my life.' So, I bought it and now I'm reviewing it for you guys.

 

So above is a picture of the lipstick along with a couple of swatches. On the upper right is a picture of the swatch with the flash on and one the bottom right is a picture without the swatch. This lipstick is the perfect fall color. Although I can't experience fall here in Dubai I'm definitely feeling the spirit. It looks darker in the tube than it does swatched. Well, in person it looks darker in the tube. The flash in that picture on the left kind of lightened the color. It's a beautiful berry color.

This lipstick is a satin. So, it's a bit more moisturizing than a matte like my Lady Danger lipstick but it stays on for quite a while. It also has a slight sheen to it. This lip stick stains your lips. I like that because I find that reapplying lip products can be really bothersome at times. Usually I'm too lazy to do it. I bought this lipstick at the MAC counter in Dubai Mall for 100 AED. That's around 27 dollars. My impatience has caused me to get ripped off once again. These retail in the US for 15 dollars.

Above is a picture of the lipstick about a hour after I applied it. I couldn't take a picture as soon as I applied it because I was running late. I wasn't wearing a lip liner with this but I think I'll definitely look for one when I get back to NY. I can just imagine the looks I would be able to create with this lipstick if I paired it with different lip liners. I think the lipstick goes well with my skin tone. In fact I think anyone with any skin tone could definitely wear this lipstick!

So, if you couldn't already tell I love this lipstick. It has definitely become a new favorite of mine. If you're considering buying it you should definitely go for it!

So, That's it.

Until Next Time,

The Vogue Fashion Dubai Experience

Assalamu Alaykum/ Hi,

This post is the second fashion event that happened in the Dubai Mall. The first, Harper's Bazaar Fashion show, was in the Mall of the Emirates. We misread the time and didn't make this fashion show. However, there was still much to be seen.

The two pictures below are of the shoe district. The place to buy your shoes.

I manage to get myself a cake pop in Juicy Couture. Only to realize that it was chocolate. :( Not a fan.

The blurriest picture ever!

Most of my friends and I won this cosmetic case from Juicy Couture.

I like it. It's handy. I'm currently using it for my lip products.

So, that's it for now,

Until Next Time
