I really want a nude polish, something that would go nicely with my NC25-30 complexion. I've attempted nudes in the past but they weren't warm enough and made my nails look corpse-like or they were too warm and made my nails look dirty. I'd love some recommendations! I just would like to avoid...

My darling Mother has always had foundation woes. She can't afford more expensive foundations and is pretty much restricted to drugstore. For Christmas/her birthday I want to buy her a nice one. She's too pretty for crappy foundation! I would love some recs for her. Some info on her skin: -dry...

Does anyone know who the designer of this dress is? Thanks a bunch!

A couple months ago I dyed my hair and absolutely loved the color. I repurchased the dye and am ready to touch it up. I've dyed my hair a few times before, but I wasn't as fond of the results and therefore have never done a touch up. I'm kind of concerned about getting color elsewhere other...

Hi all. I want to get better at making a 'cut' crease and need some new liners to practice with. I don't want to buy high end liners for this because the whole technique is new to me and I don't want to waste it. For a while I was using Wet N Wild + NYC liners but they're pretty dry and hard to...

If you're looking for a new liquid liner from the drugstore, especially Walgreens, disregard Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen! I bought the Revlon one early March and it worked pretty well, not as good as I expected though. But the felt tip made application a breeze. I paid around 8 dollars for...

So recently my boyfriend (love you babe!) bought me a HerStyler 3 Part Curling Iron from eBay. It was a steal at $80 dollars versus the $300 MSRP It's a clipless curling iron that comes with 3 different sized interchangeable barrels: -13mm conical/tapered (about .5in) -19mm slightly conical...

I just saw an FOTD with MAC Cyber lipstick and fell in love! But I'm not really much of a lipstick person, I'm a gloss lover. Can anyone recommend a color like Cyber but in a gloss? Any brand at all will do!

Have any of you used those wet to dry flat irons? T3 makes one, Herstyler makes one...I've always wanted to know if they're a good investment. If you have one or used one, how did you like it? Was your hair frizzy at all? Did you see damage? Do you love it?

Normally I don't think many thin calved ladies have this issue, but I do. I wear a size 8 to 8.5 shoe, but I'm fairly short and VERY petite (size 2) so though my foot is a little big, my calves are very very skinny. I have never ever found a boot that fit my shoe size and also my calf size...

I hope this helps someone! If you like Lancome Color Ideal foundation but are hating that it's $37, you should give L'Oreal True Match foundations. They are pretty much identical, from what I can tell... Lancome Color Ideal ingredients: Water, Isododecane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin...

I know these brushes have been mentioned but they were the art ones from Michaels. I actually checked the site a few weeks ago and they have actual makeup brushes! So I wanted to know if anyone on Specktra has used them. According to MUA's on ModelMayhem they are superior to Crown. The one I...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody had recs for Salma Hayek's pink lips? I love that it's a soft pink color, not too bright or in your face. Thanks tons!

Inspired by Jude! This Milani quad has very similar colors to the ones she used. Kinda upset that the rusty red color I used hardly showed up here and all you see is the orange And please excuse my creasing concealer! Her look can be viewed on her blog here and she has a great tutorial for it...

Hi everyone, I really need to vent and no one around me really understands, and usually when that happens I know I can always turn to Specktra. I'm suffering from the loss of my wonderful beloved cat, Kiki. God I can't even think about her without crying... She was my very best friend. I...

Hey all! If you're like me then you've been wanting a Beauty Blender sponge and BADLY but never obtained one since, well, 20USD is a lot of money for an egg shaped sponge, I've got great news! I was at Target today and saw one by Sonia Kashuk that is really similar! And it's only 9.99! I plan...

I have a deviated septum and have been plagued with sinus problems my whole life (and I'm only 22!) from chronic sinus infections to terrible seasonal, indoor and outdoor allergies. In the future, I plan to get my deviated septum corrected and have other work done to alleviate most of my sinus...
