Whilst swatching Mac’s All Fired Up for a blog post on it recently here, I realised how similar it was to the colour I had on my lips at the time. That was the Catrice Ultimate Colour lipstick in Pink Me Up. The Catrice lipsticks are extremely underrated in my opinion, they’re creamy with high shine and last for ages on the lips. I have three, all of which I love and wish I could get my hands on more.
Catrice – Pink Me Up
Now side by side the colours are close to identical, All Fired Up however is slightly darker on the lips and is matte where as Pink Me Up Is not, it is however highly pigmented as is the Mac one. I’d say it stays on your lips for up to 4-5 hours without needing to be reapplied compared to All Fired Up staying on the lips for a good 6-7 hours. I find that the Pink Me Up is easier to pull off due to finish of it and is easier to apply than All Fired Up.

If you’re not interested in the finish of the lipstick then I would I highly recommend that you get the Catrice lipstick before buying the Mac one as you’d be saving a massive £10!
Unfortunately I picked up this lipstick whilst in Germany and they don’t sell Catrice products in the UK (fingers crossed they will soon), you can however get the Mac one here.
Do you have any dupes?
