TEAM Purple: What were your favorite MAC lipsticks?

MAC has been delivering in the purple lipstick (and gloss) department lately and the newest purple product seems to be all the rage until the next one comes along...

How many purple lipsticks do you have and are you still looking for the HG Purple MAC lippy? Or maybe you found your favorite purple when you cheated on MAC and got another brand? Maybe you are the experimental type and found the perfect mix by combining multiple products? Feel free to share with other purple-holics your favorite purple shade/s and combos here. For bonus points, list your purple lippies (in order of favorite if you so desire)


Here's my Top Ten for starters, most favorite first:

Lavender Whip
Bloomin Lovely
Fashion Mews
Go For It
Seductive Intent (mattene)
Seasoned Plum
Nocturnal Instincts (mattene)
High Top
Bust Out
Playtime


Would like to try:

Violetta
Heroine
Strong Woman
Dish It Up
Up the Amp

Purple is my favourite colour so I go bananas when I see a purple lipstick. I think they look best on women with darker skin tones and I'm only a NC30 but it doesn't stop me from buying and wearing them!

In no particular order:
1. Up The Amp
2. Violetta
3. Playtime(LE)
4. Rebel
5. Boyfriend Stealer

I'm so upset I missed on Heroine. I hope MAC brings it back in a collection because I really want it.

I love up the amp (wore it for my wedding) and go for it. I also really love captive, which is a kind of purply berry shade. Oh, and flaunting it. Flaunting it is a true MLBB for me, and captive is probably the most flattering-but-not-in-your-face shade I've ever tried.

i was mulling over the bite shades last time i was at sephora....how do you find the texture wears? i've only tried one of their pencils, which i liked...i found it super hydrating and pigmented, and it didn't bother me that the wear time was short since it's supposedly 'good for you'...lol...

I lurve them! Annoyed the matte ones are limited edition but they are 3.7g I believe so they should last long. Great wear, not drying at all. The matte ones are similar to me to the mattenes(mac)-not super matte but still matte.

I don't buy every purple that comes down the line, because ones that are too pink or berry or fuchsia I already have plenty of.

All time favorite has got to be Go For It! Strong Woman is much redder and more of what I'd call magenta, but it's a close second. I'm also crazy about Quite Cute and Fresh Amour mattene. Potent Fig mattene is also awesome, but pretty fussy to apply and keep looking good.

My purples (off the top of my head):

Go For It
Strong Woman
Heroine
Yung Rapunxel
Fervent
Boyfriend Stealer
Quite Cute
Blooming Lovely
Bust Out
Hellraiser
Cyber
Pervette
Icon

Nocturnal Instinct mattene
Seductive Intent mattene
Fresh Amour mattene
Potent Fig mattene

Evening Stroll

I don't think I'd count stuff like Playtime, Pink Popcorn or Petals & Peacocks - too fuchsia. I wouldn't count Musky Amethyst either - too berry (love that one, though).
