I love purple. Love love love it. It goes without saying that I adore Prince. Below is a picture (any excuse) of the last time I saw him in concert.
He was awesome but back to lipstick.I’ve recently developed an obsession with finding the perfect purple lipstick. It’s been like searching for the Holy Grail. I don’t want lilac or lavender or mauve or grape. I want purple, preferably matte or satin finish and without any shimmer or iridescence whatsoever. The beauty halls have been fruitless. Trawling the internet I’ve found these potential purples but I need to see in the flesh:
Wish me luck on my quest! If you know of any great purples please let me know.

I adore Prince too. Have seen him live 10+ times and he is the best.
Interesting about a purple lipstick, I’ve never tried one myself, think it’s only good on a darker skin than mine. Suspect I’d look a bit Addams Family sadly. Sleek makeup is available in Boots and Superdrug so that one should be easy to see in the flesh. Otherwise ebay might turn up a bargain, I’m guessing purples aren’t huge sellers and they may end up there at a good price. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for you x
Lucky you – have seen him twice – brilliant. I’m normally a nude or berry red lippie girl but purple has been calling me, also bright red – i’m in the mood for change! Good thinking on the ebay front – hadn’t thought of that x
Ooh, the lippie from MAC’s Venomous Villan collection brings back memories. No way that I would ever have pulled it off though.
Yup I should have got it then but wasn’t feeling purple in those days. Let’s hope it looks good when i finally find my perfect purple!
