Violeta *might* be discontinued though there may still be a few floating around on a few theatrical sites. As mentioned below, this is a "purple" purple. No pinks, reds or berries, just a beautiful med deep purple matte. Ben Nye matte shadows are smooth with just enough powdery feel to make them easy to blend. They don't stick and grab like most other mattes, but they don't lack pigment either.

Violeta is the epitome of purple shadows. Just a matte, medium-dark purple shadow, no pink, no plum. Use for eye and blush color. Packed with pigment, True, blendable color. I'm never disappointed with Ben Nye. $6 for palette refill pan.(NW45ish or HIP820)
