I don't shop at Mac all that frequently because I am on a rather tight budget, but every now and then it's fun to splurge on something nice. In general I love Mac lip products. They are so nice and smooth and they smell like vanilla!
I wanted to get some darker autumnal colors and I was drawn to Rebel (lipstick on left) but it wasn't quite as dark as what I originally was thinking. The girl at Mac was nice and suggested I layer a lip liner in Vino over top (just a little) to deepen the look. I loved it!
Rebel is a deep purple-y maroon color. I tend to gravitate towards these colors in general so this was a great fit for me.
My biggest issue with the Vino lip liner (top swatch) is that it does sometimes look almost black if you have dry skin. I recommend exfoliating your lips before use. In the swatch below they almost look the same color, but I would not recommend using the full lip liner look underneath the lipstick unless you are really looking for a deep, almost gothic, look.
In general I think the lipstick is true to color, but the lip liner definitely comes off darker in person than on camera.
