Mulled wine in the summer sure could cause some serious headaches!
Or isn't this available in New Zealand?

Anyway... Does anyone think the cool eyes palette would be OK warm-toned skin (NC35 - thats me in my avatar)?

Yup.

I believe you can wear the cool eyes!

I'm NC30 and I rock the colors!

Btw everyone else:
I guess it is purple? I think of indigo as a more blue on the purple side, so I think we're all thinking the same color. Lol!

I was worrying about the same. I'm also have a warm-toned skin. But the palette looked so lovely in real that I bought it today - and it works!
I think the colours are quite cool, but not ice-cold, if you know what I mean by that.

They are lovely spring colors in my opinion.

I like that one too! It's a bit stronger pink than the other pinks I have and not really Fall/Holiday, more of a spring colour. I don't have anything similar and that's the range of colour I usually go for. I may have a gloss that's similar.

So i went to macy today to check on pigment set. warm set is just meh to me. so many brown/gold/neutral color comes out every year. it's getting bored. i like cool set but i didn't have a desire to buy it. quietly is close enough to lovely lily, i have lovely lily. i'm sure someday mac will repromote these pigments because lately they like to repromote their products. at least that's my opinion.

i didn't check lipglass set. i only bought msf so ceylon from sheer mineral collection. YAY for me

i need to save $$ for x-mas gifts, BBR & HK collections.

I went today to get the pigments. I got both of them. I have no pigs whatsoever so this was right up my alley. They are the perfect size for me cuz I don't want to buy the regular sizes. I didn't check out the l/g sets. They actually didn't have them out. She was like we got the collection but didn't put it out yet. LOL. So maybe next week I will check out the l/g set.

Re: MAC-Adoring Carmine/Passionately Red/Passions of Red/Little Darling Discussion

I really like the stuff I got today. The warm pigment set has great neutral, pretty colors. I really want the cool set too, Ill probably get it.

The neutral lipglass set is reallllyyyyyy nice. They are damn small, but considering how many lipglasses I have, these are good for me. They are all great shades that I would wear.

Now I have to see pics of the pink lipglass set, and decide whether or not I want that.

I didnt expect the pigment jars to be glass, which I love. But I dont like that I have to dump out the pigment to use it, rather than dipping my brush into it.

There are very nice pics of the Little Darlings at the website that I must not name. I can't decide between the Coral or Pink.

This happens regularly at my counter. For the "Red" She Said collection, they only displayed the MES and lipsticks. Said will take 1 or 2 weeks to display the rest.

That's why I have to wait for Stark Naked and dazzleglass.

Enjoy your pigments! I really like both sets too but maybe I have to choose 1 only.

Missing my specktra family though! I don't have nearly enough time to pop in like I used to

It might be cheating but I feel ok about it.

I am proud of you Adina! I have missed you a lot and have been wondering where you have been. I figured that with two jobs and the boyfriend that you have been very busy. Just don't forget about us ok!?!

Re: MAC-Adoring Carmine/Passionately Red/Passions of Red/Little Darling Discussion

I went to two MACs today to check out the Little Darlings and I didn't pick anything up. I hope the regret doesn't start sinking in when this is sold out..I'm way too broke to splurge on these holoday sets

Right. The opening is too small to even attempt. So I'm sitting here like how can I do this without wasting it.

I would think they would be out and ready to go so folks can purchase them. Those non speckralites wouldn't have a clue.

^ i felt the same way so today I went out and bought some 5g jars and theyre they just as good as a full size pigment
I def. suggest it for those who don't want to try and did into the viles or dump everything out

the 239 fits perfectly into the cap, so what i do is shake it so some sticks to the cap, dip the brush, and apply. then repeat for the other eye. its a pain, but for what you've got it works.

I think that there are problems with the administrator from that other site. She should have posted pics and information from specktra, not naming specktra as the source.
