Its a little patchy and always look wine toned on my lips and less purple than in the tube. That being said, its a great color. But I get excited every time I go to a MAC counter and have the same self-conversation (silently, without moving my lips) that goes something like this, "Oh, a purple lipstick in the permanent line I haven't tried? Wow, and its a Satin? How have I not seen this before? Oh, it's Rebel. I have that. It looks so purple sitting here on the display, why doesn't it look purple on me??"
Now the first time this happened, it wasn't so bad. But I have done this about five times now. Maybe more. LOL
