The Summer Season: Purple Lipsticks & Lipglosses Round-up

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

6 Purple Lipsticks & Lipglosses

Today marks the end of the Summer Season, which means it’s time for round-ups to see what’s close, what’s similar, and all of that.  There weren’t too many purple lipsticks/glosses that were really rich and pigmented, so with only six featured in during the series, there are definitely no dupes amongst them!

  1. Dolce & Gabbana Violet Lipstick
  2. Illamasqua Fierce Intense Lipgloss
  3. MAC Show Orchid Lipstick
  4. MAC Violetta Lipstick
  5. Milani Magenta Madness Lipstick
  6. Tarina Tarantino Candy Jar Lipstick

Which purple lipstick/lipgloss was your favorite?

#4 is calling me!!! Love it

No. 6, and Mac Rose Romance:)

How about MAC Go For It? It's my absolute favorite purple!

Only permanent shades are featured in the series :)

oops! Now I know, thanks. :)

I like Show Orchid the best out of these, but would like to try that Illamasqua lipgloss at some point. :)

I actually own and love Show Orchid (because of you!), so that's probably my fave... but Dolce & Gabbana Violet is really gorgeous too.

#2! must.have.number.2!

Candy Jar is my favourite here!

show orchid & milani magenta hands down!

#6 and #3 Also like MAC Petals&Peacocks and Blooming Lovely <3 Though I think Purples aren't definitely my thing...I have warm-toned skin...a 'lil sad

I love Dolce and Gabbana Violet!

Christine, will you please review the Rouge Artist Intense lipsticks by MUFE? Thank you!! :)

When I have a chance to, I will certainly try.

#6 definitely! The others are a tad bold for me >

I need to try me some purples. On a side note do you know when the Book of Shadows III will be for sale...maybe some time near the F&F sale ? ; )

I believe September sometime. Not sure if it will coincide with a sale - I would guess not, though.

#1, #6 They look good on you, but i think those Purples aren't for me

Purple lippy kinda scares. I've admittedly never tried it but I have a feeling it might make me look like I'm really cold. lol I guess it's best for making a statement say, on a big night out.

The Milani Magenta Madness Lipstick is definitely my fav!!!!

i like #3 and #6 the others i'm not a big fan of. ;)
