If you love your Ruby Woos and Relentlessly Reds you know that these shades are nearly impossible to get your hands on in DXB. If you want to grab them first you need to be frequent spender at MAC and get friendly with their makeup ladies, so when a branch receives lousy 3 pieces of your desired lippy they will give you a call (if they feel like that is). All in all you have to get on a waiting list to sport the lip colour of your choice. This is mainly the case with all matte shades, as they are the best sellers across Middle East (no wonder, they look stunning on Arab women's olive skin).
However if you are like me, and instant gratification is your middle name Sephora is a great place to find brilliant MAC dupes for their red lip shades or may I dare to say discover even better colours. The other week I have been on a hunt for my all time favourite Relentlessly Red but after visiting all of the malls on the Emirates (or what felt like I did ) I ended up browsing though the piles of makeup in local Sephora. Here is where I found this amazing little beauty from their Colour Lip Last collection in nr 13.
It is by far the closest in shade to Relentlessly Red and despite it's matte finish it is less drying on the lips. The consistency is very creamy and the colour payoff is insane. I find working with MAC matte lipsticks is bit of a pain (but I put up with it because the colours are amazing) with these lippies you get best of both worlds- great coverage and products that just glides onto the lips.
I tend to pair it with MAC Pro Long Wear lip pencil in Trust in Red to prevent the colour from bleeding and getting all over. I feel like this shade will look amazing on both darker and lighter skin. It is a mix between hot red and pink, so the slight cooler blue undertone will make your teeth look whiter and will brighten your smile.
This product is available in Sephora branches nationwide across UAE
Retail Price: around AED 60.00
