Around here in these parts, groundhog Staten Island Chuck did not see his shadow today. I hope the furry little critter’s foresight is correct as this unseasonable weather we’ve been getting lately in NYC has me longing for an early Spring. In celebration of the occasion I decided to pull out my MAC lipstick in Up The Amp, a lavender violet amplified creme. Perfectly pastel falling right in line with this Spring’s trends.
Wearing Sweet As Cocoa for the 6th day in a row. Think I’ll make it a full week.
Up The Amp is gorgeous and would work on many different complexions. You can alter the color with a liner or lipgloss to make it lighter or darker if you wish. MAC lipstick retails at $14.50. Looking for a dupe? Check out Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Berry Haute. Spot on and will run you about half the cost.

Love this lippy on you. I recently purchased Ri Ri boy and the shade is quite similar, But I’m still urming and aahhing over the shade
Thank you. RiRi Boy is very similar but has a completely different texture so it’s ok to have both lol 🙂
Dear Erica,
Would you recommend lip liner with this? If so, which one? Fashion Boost? Magenta?
It actually looks really good with Nightmoth for the perfect ombre effect.
Look is so nice,even through I got rid of my most lavenders for downsizing.
