The Lipstick Compendium: MAC 'Violetta' Lipstick

Yup, another MAC lipstick. Hooray! (or not...whichever you choose)

*Here is a little fact about my lipstick collection: 60% of it is MAC. Why? Because MAC lipsticks come in a range of different colors, finishes, and they are reasonably priced. Also, the B2M program is awesome because for every 6 empty MAC products you take back to the MAC store, you get one free item. I personally love to B2M for new lippies.

MAC 'Violetta' is a bright purple toned fuchsia with slight blue and purple micro shimmer.
It is an Amplified finish, my favorite ♥ ! Smooth, creamy, and very opaque in color.
It is a PRO color so you can purchase it from MAC PRO stores. I have the one in the Maleficent packaging! She is my favorite Disney villain!I know for a fact that this color will be re-promoted with a new collection coming out in September.So if you like it, but don't want to order from MAC pro, you can wait until then :D


Products Used
~NYX lip liner 'Purple Rain' ($2-$4)
~MAC Violetta lipstick  ($14, but I think the special packaged Disney one was $15)
~H.I.P 'Arresting' liquid lipcolor ($2 at my local Railey's)

Swatches from top to bottom: NYX Purple Rain  /  MAC Violetta  /   HIP Arresting

Most of the blue shimmers come from the H.I.P. lipgloss, and also the lipgloss is a slightly more of a darker fuchsia and less purple toned than Violetta. Also, notice that the lip combo looks really magenta on my lips, compared to how it swatches on my hand.

 

Verdict

Love this color! I wish it was a little more purple, but on my skin tone it shows up way more fuchsia. After removal, this lipstick leaves a really nice stain on the lips! I love it. It is a really pretty and chic color; perfect for a girl's night out, a party, or wherever you want. 

My only complaint is that it tends to move around on my lips a little. And again, I wished it was more purple.

Rating: 8.5/10

Recommend? Yes! If you want a fun, bold color, this is definitely something to check out. I recommend this to people who want to try a purple lipstick but don't want something too purple.
