Having an Up The Amp Kinda Day...

I had a bit of a M.A.C splurge the other day and amongst my mini haul I bought 'Up The Amp' which is a amplified lipstick.  AND.  I.  LOVE.  IT.


It's described on the website as a 'lavender violet' but it's more pink than that I think.  I love Rebel but it's too dark for daytime wear for me so this is the perfect alternative:



At first I was like 'ooo not sure if that's daytime appropriate' but it's one of those vibrant shades where I ended up going 'sod it.  I love it.  I'm wearing it'.  

I adore blue based pinks and purples so I should have known I would fall in love with this colour.  I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but OMG it's right up my street!

Have any of you got this lipstick?  Are you a fan of a purple lip?
