Question #1 – will they EVER bring back All Of My Purple Life? Answer: I believe it’s, but as far as I know at present MAC has no plans to bring back AMPL.

I respect Afro Bella a lot. Sorry to have missed out supporting her lipstick, that is one MAC item I would happily buy. Also I have those MAC colors in various dupes. I’m a dupe fiend. As a former makeup artist, etc. At this stage in my life I do not see the need buy an expensive lipstick I just do color matches using drugstore cosmetics/Sephora brand. I would love to see a blog about dupes.
