She-Rebel

MAC She-Rebel Vamplify Lipgloss ($20.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is described as a "dark blue-purple." It's a muted, medium-dark purple with bluish shimmer. It looks a lot bluer swatched, but the semi-opaque coverage means the natural color of the lips comes through noticeably--and I think that's why it appears less blue and more purple on lips. Initially, I expected it to be closer to OCC Technopagan, but it really isn't. I wish it was more opaque, because application is troublesome as the color goes on unevenly and looks patchy. It lasted for four hours and was somewhat moisturizing while worn. MAC Till Death Do Us Part (LE, $20.00) is cooler (90% similar). MAC Dreamz (LE, $18.00) is more muted (90% similar). Anastasia Purple Rain (-, $16.00) is more shimmery, lighter (90% similar). Maybelline Royal (P, $7.99) is less shimmery (90% similar). NYX Betrayal (P, $6.00) is darker, warmer (80% similar). Estee Lauder Shameless Violet (P, $32.00) is less shimmery, lighter, less glossy (85% similar). MAC Night and Daze (P, $21.00) is less shimmery, lighter, cooler (85% similar). KVD Beauty Televator (P, $22.00) is more shimmery, darker, less glossy (85% similar). ColourPop Be-dazzled (LE, $6.50) is less shimmery, darker (80% similar). Makeup Geek Backstage (P, $15.00) is warmer (80% similar). NYX Immortal (P, $6.00) is lighter, brighter, cooler (80% similar). Giorgio Armani #604 (P, $29.00) is lighter, less pigmented (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
