Ulta3 - Plum Violet


Uh, does this look like a Plum Violet to you?

Plum Violet is the first Ulta I'm trialling this week and it's - as we commonly say in Australia - a beeeaut-ayyyy.

A magnificent pink creme.  The quintessential Barbie Pink.

Formula wise, this is one of the best creme formulas I've found.  Opaque in two coats, dries to a high shine and the colour is absolutely true to the bottle.

But the absolute best thing about this is the price.  $2.50.  And you get 13.5mls for that price.  It's extraordinarily good value and one of the big reasons why this is such a big brand in Australia.  We get gouged on pretty much anything imported (did you know we pay $85 for Nars Orgasm blush) so to have something that is dirt cheap AND good - HEAVEN!

Does this pink tickle your fancy?  And does anyone want to hazard a guess as to why this is called Plum Violet when I don't see any plum or violet in it?
