NEW Makeup Revolution 'Chauffeur' Rose Gold lipstick - MAC dupe?

Hi!

I just wanted to make a quick blog post on a new lipstick I received today from Makeup Revolution.

This wasn't originally meant to be a comparison post, but when I tested it out I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and thought I would see if I could add it to my dupes list!

'Chauffeur' is one of five shades in the new Rose Gold collection. I went for the lightest and most subtle shade as I wanted something I could wear daily to see what the formula was like, before potentially buying more.

The packaging is, as the name suggests, a lovely Rose Gold colour. It's made of plastic and feels very lightweight, but has the premium look. I especially love that the Makeup Revolution logo is printed on the inside. Also, like other Makeup Revolution lipsticks, the clear bottom has lipstick inside it so that you can see the shade without opening.

On swatching I was very happy to see a great colour pay off, usually you don't get that with lower-priced lipsticks. I immediately tried it on, and it applied very smoothly and opaque. As soon as it touched my lips I thought "this is MAC quality" and reached for the closest MAC shade I could find to pit them against eachother. I picked Blankety, which is an Amplified Creme finish.

So, does it compare?

Both on swatches and on my lips, I could barely notice a difference. The shades are identical, the finish is identical, the colour pay-off is ever so slightly better with first swipe of the MAC but there's really hardly anything in it. Both lipsticks wear off gradually but evenly, neither have particularly long wear times but the MAC stayed opaque just a tad longer.

Overall verdict 

I was blown away with how good this lipstick was, and how similar it was to MAC!

The ONLY negative thing I have to say about this product is that the scent is quite a chemical makeup scent, which thankfully disappears after application.

The best part is the price - the Rose Gold lipsticks cost just £3 (vs MACs £15.50) and are available now from www.makeuprevolutionstore.com

I give it a very deserving two thumbs up and I can't wait to try the other shades! 

Thanks for reading :)
