Let's start of with the fact that I love this lipstick! It's moisturizing, long-lasting and a beautiful color! It's a really pretty violet color with pink undertones. I get complimented with this on so much! Although in the winter when my skin is at it's palest, this shade seems to look less violet on me for some reason, sort of brownish somehow so I dust my face with a yellow toned powder (since purple and yellow are complementary colors) and it seems to help out a little but since I'm still quite fair I look slightly evil. This lipstick is quite sheer for an amplified lippie. You definitely have to layer it if you want to get the color in the tube. I don't feel as though this dries to a satin finish like my other amplified lippies ( Saint Germain, Up the Amp, Neon Orange) this one stays creamy. I don't really like that because I feel that the ones that stay creamy tend to not last as long on the lips but this really does last just as long which really surprised me! I put up the pic with swatch of Violetta and my other purples

I had to order this online because it is a "pro" product. It just came in the mail today and I tried it on as soon as I got in the door. I only own about 5 MAC lipsticks and since trying this on today this is my absolute favorite. I usually only wear lipstick for a night out because I'm more of a lip gloss girl but I will be wearing this everyday. The color is just so gorgeous that I had to order another one just incase I misplace or they discontinue. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful shade! Do yourself a favor and get if you don't already have it!

This isn't as scary (delicious, if you LOVE bold lips like me) as it looks in the tube! It's got a pink hint to it that keeps it from being straight up purple (like OCC Belladonna LT). It's such a sexy, slightly evil, color. It's purple without being garish or hard to pull off. Looooove. I'd give it a 5 if it wore longer/more comfortable.

I didn't purchase this. It was a gift from a really amazing, wonderful, incredibly generous friend.
Oh my goodness gracious.
I had a purple lipstick from Makeup Forever that was a gorgeous color, but went on so patchy and dry that I just could not deal. So when I received Violetta from the aforementioned friend, I spazzed. This color is nearly impossible to find within an hour radius of my home town, and I'm not into ordering cosmetics online in case I really don't like the color on me. (Who wants to pay return shipping?!)
The second I put this baby on my lips, I was in love. The texture is creamy and slick, but dries down to a semi-matte finish that just stays and stays. It leaves a gorgeous pink tint behind on my lips when it finally does fade (which takes FOREVER). And boy is this stuff moisturizing.
It is sheer at first, so I tend to apply, blot, reapply, bot, and reapply again to get opaque coverage. I don't use a liner - oddly enough, this doesn't feather on me at all. Sometimes I'll use a primer underneath to give it something to stick to, but I've found that this doesn't make too much of a difference. Perhaps a pinky-purple dark liner would do the trick. But this lipstick really does stand on its own.
I will repurchase when I run out (which will likely be soon since I'm already addicted), and I'll have no problem ordering it online.
Oh, and the packaging is absolutely ADORABLE. Maleficent may have been a villain, but she was a fabulous one for sure.
I don't find MAC's lipsticks to be overly expensive (their glosses are - I don't believe glosses should ever cost more than lipstick), so this gets a 3 on the price from me. Some drugstore lipsticks are getting close to MAC in terms of price, so really, it's not a big deal to drop $15 on a lippie.

P.S. It just dawned on me that my two latest lipstick shade favorites have ties to Disney villains - Cruella by Nars and Violetta with its Maleficent-y goodness. They always were more fashionable than the heroines, weren't they?

I bought this awhile ago at imats or the makeup show (both in nyc) but put it in my mua kit for clients, which I later totally forgot about. Then one day, recently I went into my kit to look for some business cards & just so happened to find it!! So I decided to clean it off with rubbing alcohol & keep in my personal collection!! It's such a pretty & bold color, I don't know why I didn't keep it for myself in the first place!! Smh!! Love it just wish I could have gotten heroin that's kinda similar to violetta when that came out!! continued >>

A little disappointed with this. It's very sheer. If you cake it on, it looks nice.
Purple lipsticks are VERY touchy. They either make you look dead, or awesome.
On me, it makes me look dead, so it's good for halloween. Cyber looks good on my though, in my opinion.
It looks so pretty in the package, so there's that :-)
I love the consistency, the smell is awful.
If you love purple and can pull off purples, then go ahead and buy this! If you're white as snow and want something dark, then buy cyber!

I LOVE this lipstick!! I'm a little late on the bandwagon with this one but I recently received it in a swap and thought I would give it a try. I'm not usually very adventurous with my choice of lipstick colours and tend to stick to either Mac's Marquise'd or Blankety but this one just jumped out at me! It appears very purple in the tube but when I lightly dabbed it on my lips it came out as more of a pale purple/pink shimmer. I then tried to layer it on & put Mac's On The Scene Cremesheen over it and I ADORED this look. I was able to wear it to work (I work for a Solicitor's) and I got so many positive comments. I love the amplified formula of Mac's lipstick too, and usually tend to get a good 3 hours wear out of them. Its definately made me want to try some other brighter lipsticks that would normally be out of my comfort zone, now if only I could get my hands on Show Orchid.......... continued >>

Ok so this color is definitely purple BUT unlike most of the amplified lippies you have to just dab it on. With this lippie you definitely have to add a couple of layers to get it that purple you see in the tube. Aside from the fact that it's not as pigmented as i would like, it is a BEAUTIFUL violet color. I just put on my lip balm, concealer and then this lipstick and no liner or gloss and it was stunning. On me it truly looks purple and leaves a fuschia stain on the lips when you blot it a bit, i don't really like fuschia much so I layer this on to REALLY get it purple.

WOW! I rock out amplified lippies, Show Orchid, Vegas Volt and now Violetta! I love this color it is gorgeous beyond words. Violetta is my new favorite! My daily look is Nars Laguna bronzer, black mascara and a bright bold lip.

I Adore this color I seen someone on Youtube talk about it and I know from that day on I needed the color. I ended up swapping this with someone here on MUA! Once I recieved the color sanitized it over night and used it a day or 2 later I knew that it would be one of my favorite lipsticks and that is what it is! Love this color it is more of a Magenta Pink not really a violet color but its so creamy and pigmented!!! <3 this Lipstick! continued >>
