Amen sister! I totally agree!

^^ totally clueless as to the aforementioned drama. Oh well.

Can't say I'm not curious, but mostly I'm still WAAAAAAY excited about this collection. I just love special packaging. It will be my undoing.

Oh and the colors already sound hot, making the special packaging totally worth the $$$$ I will spend on it.

Has anyone gotten their hands on a highlight powder? It is the same as the Ballounacy Highlighters, where it was just a sheen frosted over it... and not like hightlighty all the way through?

I'm sorry if that sounds silly... don't know how else to phrase it

According to one of our resident MA (Erine or BunnyBunnyBunny) it is similar to the Balloonacy Highlight powders where it has the frosty spray on top but the entire powder underneath is matte or with little shimmer. I might be wrong but I swear I remember them saying that!

Aww thats a bummer... it would be so great if it went all the way through...

If its just on top I won't use it much... but I really want the highlighters

Thankyou for answering so quickly... very sweet

I guess she must have really done something majorly horrible to someone to cause such hate but then again, like I said, I don't know the background. Frankly, I enjoy her reviews and though I don't know her personally from Adam, she comes across as warm, friendly and helpful....like the ladies on THIS site.

I wish we could just all get along and play nice. But then again, perhaps she stole someone's boyfriend and I'm just unaware of it. In any event, you could always try to send her a message requesting that she remove your images or give proper credit. Just how I'd handle it, I guess.


I can appreciate how it must look to you. I agree it would be great if we could all play nice. There's room for all of us in this great big internet, right?

It's just that you get tired of your work/ideas/contributions and your member's work/ideas/contributions getting vacuumed up and then presented elsewhere with a big "ZOMGZ....I did this all for you!!!" and it just stinks. Like Shimmer said, we've tried to iron it out diplomatically, but to no avail. It's sad, but that's how someone chooses to play it.

I will say that on a handful of occasions, I purposely changed info presented here to see if it wound up there not credited to us and it did. The proof is in the pudding.

I hope that clears up a bit of the mystery.

Someone just pointed out to me that it has happened again with the Brunette Blonde Redhead colour story details.

i think its because on lushiousbabe's forum she has the Brunette Blonde Redhead colour story on there yet lushciousbabe did credit erine and specktra for the colour info! so maybe she thought that it was enough to just credit her and makeup talk? i still think its a huge no-no. plagiarism isn't cool in my books!

ps. i love specktra! you guys do such a wonderful job and i appreciate all your do for us!!! =]

^^ Despite that, in university papers, even high school papers, you still credit the ORIGINAL source, especially if the source you used tells you THEIR source! Geebus, it's not that hard. It makes me angry too! There's not a problem with lushiousbabe (Tinkerbelle <3) because she actually gives credit where it's needed, the other one does not.

Well, the Heatherette BP didn't have shimmer either and they're still beautiful!

I think I'm kinda "over" my excitement on this one. I might get a lippie or two, but I am more interested in the blonde/brunette/red hair thingy and the hello kitty collections. I will have to save, save, save!!!

Are you sure you will save that much? No more collections you might buy out between now and BBR?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm going to skip this whole collection. I really need to if I'm going to have anything left for Blonde Brunette Redhead.

I might end up w/ just a lipstick & lipglass. That's it. Period. Saving for BBR & HK collections:]

Here's my christmas list:
Money
Mac Giftcards

Not much, but i'll be the happiest person.
