What company says...

 Go rebel with bright and bold collection of lipsticks with this REBEL BOUQUET collection from the house of Maybelline. Rebel, has a new name, and a new colour, to flaunt.

In the mirror of my own experience 

Packaging

The packaging is the same normal Color Sensational silver square packaging with the red plastic cap. The name of the shade is mentioned at the base of the lipstick. This becomes a problem when one has too many Color Sensational lipsticks and almost all of them have red covers.  They don’t have names and instead of names they are called by their codes that are a bit confusing to keep in mind. Personally I love Maybelline's Color Sensational packaging. They are sturdy, secure and striking. However I was expecting some kind of special packaging for this collection, so a bit disappointed in that aspect.  



Shades



Reb 01 is a deep red with maroonish undertone. It has slight silver shimmers in it but they are not visible. It’s quite a deep shade for summer but if you want to rebel against the conventional rules of beauty, you can wear it in this season. The other one Reb 02 is a beautiful bright pink color. It’ll be perfect for fair skin tones!

Pigmentation &Texture

Texture and pigmentation– The texture of both lipsticks is so creamy, soft and moisturising.  The pigmentation is great and a couple of swipes give good opaque coverage to your lips. They do transfer easily but you can manage this problem with no trouble.

Application & Effect

They glide on really smoothly on the lips. Due to the silky and creamy texture they don’t make your lips dry. No need to apply a lip balm before application. The formula feels very light weight that is great for summer. You get a glossy and semi matte effect on your lips. I really love their effects. You get a somewhat plumped up effect after applying them.

Lasting power

The only down side of these lipsticks is their average lasting power.  They last for about 3-4 hours on my lips including meal and drinks. I don’t blame them much for this because they have glossy formula and the season is also a factor. You can increase the lasting power by using loose powder on your lips before application. The duration will increase in winters.

Good points

Lovely and travel friendly packaging

Smooth and creamy texture

Highly pigmented

Silky application

Glossy semi matte finish

Decently priced

Bad points

The shades are too bright.
Can transfer.
Average staying power

Finally...

Overall I love these lipsticks but the shades are not unique. The colors that I got are really not pastel. One is a bright red and the other a bright pink. Both colors are beautiful, will look great on any skin tone but  I don’t like deep shades in hot summer. Light shades give a cool and natural effect in this season.Some of the Rebel Bloom lipsticks that Maybelline launched in the US were so beautiful. I really want them here. In terms of quality, these are magnificent. Glossy and light weight  formula feels comfortable on the lips. Wish they lasted for some more hours.
