MAC Violetta - Review, Photos, Swatches

MAC Violetta is a violet-purple shade in amplified creme finish. It has a subtle sheen to it. It was first released in the MAC Venomous Villains - Maleficent and was re-promoted in MAC Fall Colour Collection 2011. This is a permanent PRO shade.

PROS: The shade is beautiful and unique. I haven't really encountered a great dupe for it. It's a buildable color so you can wear it sheer or really opaque. It's long wearing and leaves a good fuschia-purple stain when it fades. This is (supposedly) locally available here in the Philippines (they just restocked it last year).
CONS: If your lips are pigmented like mine, this could come off as a bit dark for regular wear. It's also pricey.



VERDICT: 

I will definitely repurchase!



TIP: If you have pigmented lips like me, or you just feel like it's too dark to wear (at a certain moment), grab a pink (deeper and darker the better) gloss to lighten it up. Sometimes I wear any dark pink lipstick (under it) to do the job. :)

MAC Lipsticks: the Bold, the Dark, and the Beautiful

No, it's not Halloween. No, I'm not a vampire nor a goth. Why can't bold and dark colors be just bad-ass? Vampy? FIERCE?

I think you've already gotten the idea that I'm all about lipsticks. I've shown you some of my reds, pink, and oranges. I think it's about time I present to you my bold, dark, and beautiful lipsticks. :)
