Oh wow, rebel looks so much darker and more vampy on me (and if anything, I think my skin is darker than yours). Really pretty colours though, I especially like the finishes on the YSL and Bite ones.

I have Fanny and love it, have Venom and like it a lot (it’s a bit dark/dramatic for day wear for me). Forbidden Burgundy and Aubergine are calling to me — the colors are similar, but the finishes are different. Love the YSL formula in color #19.

I have Fanny, Aubergine, and Venom. I searched high and low for YSL Forbidden Bugrundy and couldn’t find it. I wound up settling on Caress Pink to try out the formula. Love the shade and the formula But it wears like 15 min on me. I have to wear a primer and liner and then it changes the shade! I am going to pick up Rebel ..I love berry shades. I think it looks pretty year round too!

I bought Rebel (with the Vino lip liner to vamp it up even more) this morning before reading this! I’m even more pleased with my choice now!

I love berry lips. These are all beautiful choices. Somehow I don’t own any these five. I think I need Venom, though! I always though MAC Rebel was supposed to be a vampy, darker purple. I didn’t realize it turned out so much brighter on the lips. It’s very close to Venom. Pretty!
