That's fyah. don't think I can pull it off tho,Haha, I'm doing the same thing. I have a matte black lippie on the way to me right now. It's my "starter black." If I love it, I'll buy the Punk Couture one, too.
It looks beautiful on you!

I've backed up here and there over the years, since diving head over heels back into MAC limited edition collections. I back up MUCH less now, though, because I'm getting used to how MAC staggers their colors through their collections. They seem to put out a really outrageous color that you're telling yourself "no WAY this is more than a crazy one shot", it becomes hugely popular, and then before you know it, by the next year, they've repromoted it or even made a whole collection with multiple versions of the same type of color - I'm thinking of Reel Sexy now: that color seemed so extreme, I loved it and wound up using half a tube without a backup. Then I bought a BU off a lovely Specktrette, but THEN lo and behold, there was that whole All About Orange collection with many different lipsticks that were equally cute or even better, all in the exact same vein.
I DO have a few shades I'm glad I backed up, though. My number 1 "phew, glad I have a BU" is Go For It lipstick, which happens to be PURPLE so yep, I understand about the purple love.I'm also glad I have a BU of Restrict, which is just the best dead of winter nude possible for me. MAC has made quite a few similar colors since, but none are quite as awesome as Restrict (Feed the Senses was close though, in a pinch). All we ever really need to do is wait a couple of years at the most, and something equally good or even better winds up appearing.
I maaaaaaay BU the grape purple in this collection, but I know I'm not going to BU the red, no matter how much I love it, because I've got many reds to cycle through for a good long time. I've got plenty of reddish purples like Instigator too. The matte black is tempting to BU for me, but I know it's going to be hard to go through one tube of that in the first place, even though I do wear black lipstick here and there for day or night. MAC will bring another black out eventually so I can wait and see what that'll be when it comes.
I was actually wearing Go For It last Saturday. I don't think I have worn it much. It really looks so purple in the tube but - like many purples - it was rather pinkish (with just a few layers) on my lips. I was wondering though how I happened to buy it at the time as I don't think I was 'that' into purples or more edgy lippies back then (yet).

I love both of those on your swatches. Maybe I should just get the NYX and save money for the extremely limited amount of time I actually would cruise a black lipstick. Do you like the finish on the NYX? My experience with them is that the product is so creamy it ends up all over my face (and hair, gross) so I think getting the matte finish from the MAC one makes sense. But I ain't gonna lose sleep or fight for one!

OMG you guys! If anyone has DGAF and by starlight, they make a banging purple together! First use a gentle layer of DGAF and then like 2 layers of by starlight. It's the bomb!!
