so lately ive noticed that i have become a full on specktra addict. like i think i check this site more than i even check my myspace page, bahahaha! and that's huge for me! so anyways, i thought it would be fun to start a thread of things that make you an addict....i didnt see any thread like this elsewhere but if there is, please let me know mods and i will promptly delete it!

1. you can't do your makeup for the day until youve checked out the fotds thread to see if your faves Amaranth, pladies, laura-doll, purity, glamYOURUs, iifugazii have posted something new for inspiration, lol.

2. if the above have not posted something for the day yet, you keep checking the site every 30 seconds to see if a thread suddenly appears from them

3. after checking out the haul thread, you decide to run to the mac counter and go on a major haul yourself. hey at least it's not as bad as spending $960 on a haul is how you rationalize it =]

4. seeing other people's makeup traincases makes you cry, its that beautiful!

5. after reading about how awesome the mac 187 brush is, you go out and buy not one, but TWO of these babies cuz you're sure youll love them. specktra hasnt led you astray yet!

this is all i can think of at the moment. feel free to add your own to the list! =]

I don't even have a Myspace because I want to be sure I can fully commit my time to Spectra! I don't want to worry about having to check something else

bahahaha, seriously. =]

6. you browse the clearance bin every single day, hoping to find those darn discontinued goodies or just for a great find/deal. (i finally found northern lights and light flush whooooot!)

7. you are always checking to see who has thanked you and revisited the post to see if anyone has made any references to you.

I totally agree with #6! I check it like every 10 mintues! I have another window opened to the sales forum as we speak

Oh and I should really be doing my big project, but I cant log off specktra! I keep thinking someone is going to post something in the clearance bin that I want!

7 - when there's a product you passed on but when you see everyone raving about it you have to have it !

panther27 · 03-06-2008, 03:09 PM #9 (**permalink**)

I am always checking back to see if anyone has posted any new info about collectons coming out(such as naughty nauticals)

AmberLilith · 03-06-2008, 04:49 PM #10 (**permalink**)

9. When you class Specktra as one of your 'hobbies'

10. When you give your friends your Specktra username as well as your email address, even when they haven't a clue what you're on about.

11. When you see a license plate with CCB in it and automatically think cream color base.

When every time you put on makeup, you think "I should post this on Specktra."

When one of your "Things To Do" is to get around to posting updated pics of your makeup collection.

When you are taking pics of your makeup collection!!

When you don't do makeup (professionally) but ramble off various products to others, leaving them wondering, "What the hell?!?"

OMG! When you say/hear something informative in real life and wish you had a "Thanks" button.

You took the words right out of my mouth!

When the first thing you do after logging on is open up the User CP page to see who has thanked you overnight.

sharkbytes · 03-06-2008, 11:47 PM #19 (**permalink**)

-When you start using internet makeup abbreviations in real life conversations.

example: Just the other day, an MA asked me what I was wearing on my cheeks and I said, "Oh, one of the MSFs" and I got a very puzzled look, lol. Other random times, I've even said out loud: "I think that was LE," as if it's so hard to say limited edition

CantAffordMAC · 03-07-2008, 01:11 PM #20 (**permalink**)

oh you guys are so funny. and true

I said MSF to the MA at MAC and she's like............

You know you're obsessed with specktra when you daydream about being on when you're not. If you haven't gotten on in a day or two you feel lost.

I go to work and think about how I'm going to go home and snuggle up...with specktra!

runninggirl05 · 03-07-2008, 01:24 PM #21 (**permalink**)

Lol. Always!!

- When your idea of socialising is to post on 30+ threads on one day.

.k. · 03-07-2008, 02:17 PM #23 (**permalink**)

when your little brother asks you to take him to vons so he can cash his coins to buy iron maiden tickets and then yells out you because you didnt take him, cuz you were on SPECKTRA! lol

(he didnt end up buying them lol)

mollythedolly · 03-07-2008, 04:08 PM #24 (**permalink**)

-When you get your makeup done by an SA or MA and you keep correcting them

Obreathemykiss · 03-07-2008, 05:07 PM #25 (**permalink**)

When you secretly search the site hour after hour and act like you're working...With a little window up so your boss doesn't notice.

And when you should have started the project hours ago, and you keep putting it off because you're more interested in FOTDs!

So sad. I wish I never found this site because I'm seriously addicted. It's my crack
