Your guess is as good as mine :shrugs: But i myself won't be posting swatches or info anymore because of it. To each their own.

Thanks! I had Margherita, Charlotte and Eugenie on my list but I think it's just Eugenie now. Margerita looks really similar to Sushi Kiss/Reel Sexy and I have both, and I probably have something similar to Charlotte. Eugenie looks really pretty! Not sure if I have something similar.Just focus on the swatches!!
It's not against Specktra's rules to post TM's photos, nor is the picture "stolen". Jenise posted this picture because it was a first look at swatches, which I'm sure many people are appreciative of. Thanks @jenise!

Skip. I've got something like all the shades I like.Just focus on the swatches!!
It's not any different than what you've been doing lately. Even if it were, getting pissed because people are excited to share new info and not thinking about the source is immature.

She's not welcome here but if she shares an image (that is more than likely someone else's swatches like Karla's who is a part of this community) why shouldn't they be posted here? Isn't that what you came here to see??Your guess is as good as mineBut i myself won't be posting swatches or info anymore because of it. To each their own.
From an administration standpoint we didn't want to foster any drama in the makeup community by "banning" her images. We don't encourage anyone to post her content, but we just want the community to be able to get the information they're looking for. Of course any stolen content will not be allowed on the site. Ever.

Bianca B looks so pastel and milky, but the lipstick tube color is nice. I'm not sure if I can pull that off even though I can wear Beauty just fine without a liner. Tats is so pretty but I probably have something similar. Marguerita is
and I like oranges, so that one is a yes. Eugenie looks really nice, but I hope it's not patchy or problematic like Punk Couture. I'm on a red lipstick ban, so Charlotte is a skip.

I'm sorry it came to this and it really sucks for those of us that play by the rules but I respect how you feel. I don't think Specktra realizes how much you contribute and what a huge part you play and have played on the existence of many Mac threads throughout many years. After the way Trendouche has disrespected different members in our community I find that posting her pictures here is disrespectful and hypocritical to those who contribute the info and whom wishes aren't respected, oh well lets see where she gets her info from now and how long we can keep the Mac threads going.Your guess is as good as mineBut i myself won't be posting swatches or info anymore because of it. To each their own.
I also kind of see it in this way: Trendwhatever stole info from us in the past here at Specktra. We shouldn't give a damn about "stealing" from her. Besides it's usually never her who actually makes the swatches. I dunno. I'm torn on the matter; I hate to get info from TM. It would be awesome if more posted on here instead of IG but it is what it is.

You can be assured that the staff here at Specktra understand and genuinely appreciate all the contributions Erine has made here.

By the way most of the images she posts now are from the same person we defended against their theft. I could be wrong, but I believe she is willingly working with TM now.

I completely respect your feelings of not wanting to cause drama. I do. That's why i, respectfully, stated my reasonings the other day and again today why i will no longer be posting release information and swatches. While i was respectful and calm, others were not, yet i was called immature.
Thanks Ana. Don't get me wrong, I'll still help out if people ask for tips and tricks. I'll still be here for that. But as I was one of those people who she stole from in the past, i find it very disrespectful and hypocrytical that people would just start posting her pics because they wanna see swatches so bad. They complained for forever about her stealing swatches from here, so she was banned. Then they start posting those swatches? I don't get it! Those aren't her swatches. They never are. We all know that MAC isn't sending her press samples.I'm sorry it came to this and it really sucks for those of us that play by the rules but I respect how you feel.

Except that it's 100% different. Every picture that I screen capture from IG includes the person's IG name, giving proper credit thank you very much. No picture is stolen. Nor are they from people notorious for stealing. Try again.

Just my two cents.. If you don't mind TM, follow her on IG. If you mind her, politely ignore any posts of her pics rather than calling out other specktra members who may not even be aware of past drama. At the end of the day, does it really matter? It's swatches of makeup guys, I think we can all just let it go rather than letting it start repetitive arguments on various threads...

I can't see how that's possible. Maybe all the users she had stole from that confronted her
