MAC Lipstick comes in a variety of finishes, and this is their Matte finish, which is supposed to be pigmented, matte, and long-wearing. It had mostly opaque color payoff with a soft, velvety consistency that glided on and had a light-medium weight to it. The color lasted for five and a half hours on me, and it left behind a soft, fuchsia stain. It was neither drying nor hydrating on me. It had MAC’s signature vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Oh I love this hue! Christine, your look for this post becomes you.
Thanks a lot, Stephanie!
That is a lovely pinky-purple lipstick, I like it a lot. More wearable than a true purple I would think.
The pink definitely makes it easier to wear!
Omg christine! You look absolutely on fire in these pics! Your eye makeup is gorgeous! Sorry i just had to tell you that. Love this lipstick picked up 2. Always need a backup, on me it leans slightly purplish. Love it!
Thank you, Trina! So happy to hear you love it enough to get a back up, Trina!
Hi Christine! Any thoughts on how this one compares to MAC Strong Woman? Thanks

Strong Woman looks darker…
I picked this lipstick up Friday! Glad it got good marks from you. I like the eye look with it as well. I’m hoping to see a review for the Anastasia palette soon. I may use my 20% off Ulta coupon for it.
Hope to review it soon!
I have BITE 010 and it’s like a pink- purple berry on me, looks close to Evening Rendevous
They are similar!
That’s a beautiful colour and it really suits you!
Thanks, Fontaine!
I still have Bust Out from Surf Baby long, loooooong time ago, and while of course the finish is different, it’s very close to ER – close enough for me!
Close enough 🙂
Love this shade! I guess I can’t help but go ga-ga for a good purple lippy! Here’s hoping it’s still online or in store this Friday, because I don’t get paid until then.
Fingers crossed!
I like! Up the Amp is a favourite, having this as well would be really good for the days when a matte lipstick would feel, or look better.
Oh, and I like the packaging as well 😀
Packaging is nice!
I love the unique color. It’s beautiful.
It’s a pretty one!
I like this color. I wish the bite dupe hadn’t been LE!
Aww!
I love the shiny purple packaging, it’s a nice alternative to the Bite Beauty #010 I missed out on.
It is! Cheaper and still available (and that surprises me!).
I snatched this up the next day! Purple lipstick AND purple packaging, and an A rating?? What’s not to love? 🙂
Nice!! 🙂 So glad you got it, Bea.
Ooooh i love this color! :O
Yay!
This shade looks identical to Mac Strong Woman
It is similar but not the same on me!
This color looks so amazing on you! I keep going back and forth… completely undecided on whether or not it would good on me. The fact that it’s not drying makes it tempting as a first MAC lipstick purchase. =)
Aw, thanks Cat!! xo
What a beautiful shade and packaging! You look stunning! xx <3
Thanks, Emmy!
Did you make a tutorial of your total look? I loove how you do your eyes on the last pic, pleaseee send me the instructions!! tks
Sorry, I don’t have a tutorial.
That’s really pretty – a lovely cool fucshia.
It is a nice shade — bright but not neon!
Does it look anything like Mac Fashion Revival? (I think also LE)
Fashion Revival is a lot darker, more berry, less purple!
