{snip} The safest option is always overnight shipping as these orders will be processed first. While it is extra money, it helps to ease my mind.
This is a good tip. My order still says pending with standard shipping. But I used overnight shipping for two orders with Heavenly Creature that were placed a few days apart, and it still took 2-3 days for each to process before shipped. My By Request order is about $100 and the Heavenly Creature orders were over $100, so maybe larger orders take longer to process regardless of expedited shipping? I know my CP order consisted of only 1 lipstick and it already shipped.

The shipping time may be the same but the processing time is definitely different.

I also purchased 1 moxie and 1 rocker as a gift to a friend in two separate orders and those were standard shipping, I actually received the DC # for standard shipping before I received the DC for my other order with overnight shipping.

I am standing firm on Moth Brown though!
I asked a few pages back if Jete is anything like the 2nd color on the left in the WnW Comfort Zone palette because in the swatches I've seen they kind of look alike but I don't think I got any replies. IMO, that color in the WnW palette leans a bit more peachy than pink.

I'm so torn on the eyeshadows...

the only one I'm certain I want is Moth Brown...

I was gonna get Jete too probably, but I'm kinda worried it will be blah on me....
I'm so pale and cool toned but I lean a smidge yellow...
orange is the worst color on me, so I'm a bit worried that its gonna be blah on me...too peachy/warm...
baby pinks look great on me, but not so much peachy neutrals...its not light enough to be a browbone or highlight...and not really dark enough either.... what should I do?

and Guacamole... I think it would look good of me but in pictures it just kinda looks like an unpigmented green...like, i'm not really seeing why it was voted in...?

I have no idea... I mean, maybe it looks different in person... like the pictures just dont capture it very well?

I do already have Feeling Fresh and Ben Nye Chartreuse...so I'm sure I won't die without it... but I don't want to feel like I missed out on it if I end up not getting it.

lol...i dont have a skintone/shade in MAC. I'm too pale... the only thing that matches me is Nars Siberia... which is probably like NC/W 5 or 10?
Well if end up grabbing Jete and find out it is too pinky on me, I'm just gonna send it to you! I will PM you if that's the case.

Well we still have a week to decide. I tend to err on the side of caution and just buy stuff anyway if I'm iffy on it...

I'm just getting frustrated with Jete because I try to search for pictures of people wearing it and its just this one chick that comes up in my searches over and over and over... (guess she uses it on her browbone or something)... or its on people with warmer or darker skin tones...

I would like to see someone who is pale/cool toned actually wearing it to see what it may look like on me... but my search is not coming out very fruitful.

Hi hi,

This is my first post in the Spectra community, but I've been a stalker for a while. I just thought I'd throw in my two cents. I have Jete from its initial release, and I wouldn't describe it as peachy. I find that it is a pinkier version of All that Glitters, which is what I would say pulls peachy. :)) I hope this helps!

This is the first thing I've read that's made me want this. All that Glitters is one of my staples! I am cool toned and curious as well.
