I am thinking of getting the mineralise kit in Pinkzapoppin because the kit looks really cute with the MSF, MB, MES and 181SE. I just don't know if I prefer Light Flush or Shimpagne but I definitely want Dainty, not Nuance.

Dida see the Mineralise stuff out as yet? The Colour collections...hope to get to the palettes before they sell out.. eye infection so stuck at home!

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ No, the colour collection is not out yet.

A MA at the counter told me last week that I could preorder the palettes, and they will start selling them this weekend. So I believe you can buy them now, no need for preordering. Hope your eye gets better soon!

All I want from the kits is Nuance, so if anyone wants to get rid of his, please let me know.

Does anybody know if Hypnotizing es from the Sorceress palette is being repromoted with Love Lace as a single es? Since the name, the finish and the colour description is basically the same.

I was also wondering how close is Altered State to Cassette (Hatherette trio), and Hypnotizing to Style Snob? I've been completely smitten with Style Snob ever since the Love thet look release and am looking for a possible dupe. Is Under Your Spell mes an even better match?

It's decent on me as a highlight, but I have other products that are so much better that I won't ever use it. What a huge bummer. I hope those of you who picked it up/are planning on getting it like it more than I do!

i'd gladly take it off your hands! you thinking of selling it?

I am really excited now!! Can't wait to get the eye palettes.

I personally think this year has run by so fast..... I still remember how I got Red She Said!!

*looks at new wrinkles* Please don't remember me of that!

j/k

I have no idea where the year went too. Wasn't it just Hello Kitty mania a few moments ago?

 

[Susanne]

Had we a summer?

Glad to have Specktra back!

I have to say I am in love with everything in my pink lip bag and the smoke & mirrors palette. I hope I dont use it too fast

These are browns I have been looking for. I hope there are dupes for them for when I run out

Got to finally see & swatch this collection today. I was able to easily pass on the palettes because of there size, they just seemed really tiny. But I'm sure if they go on sale like the holiday collection did last year I will end up getting a few things

 

[SakurasamaLover]

Yeah, I'm waiting for that maybe sale too, and if there isn't one I won't be sad cause I got a lot of stuff to look at and that didn't get enough love from me.

 

[Elusive21]

First of all, I am so glad that Specktra is back! I swear, I didn't even know what to do with myself while it was down. My hubby got ticked off cause I kept bugging him since I had nothing else to do.

Second, i haven't read any of the recent posts in this thread yet (I will I will) but wanted to ask (before I forget) what everybody's experience been with the Smoke and Mirrors eye palette? I really want to buy it but I haven't yet because my experience with the soreceress palette was pretty bad (does any one else feel this way?) the colours had horrible payoff, all of them looked pretty much the same once on my eye (and yet I use a primer, even used a shadestick as well for this but it didn't help much) and were muddly looking. Please please tell me that the smoke & mirrors is nothing like this, so I can buy it.

I swatched SDN and it does not show up that well on me wahhhhhh.. but conjure up did and it is soo pretty.. so I 'm getting that one instead ;-) Also I met Nyla2120!! How cool and surreal.. first time meeting with someone from this forum.. She is so pretty and nice. We both look at each other like wait a minute? and I said to her.. Specktra right? lol

It's gorgeous!!! the only palette I got.. I used it already and it's love.. the lightest color it's soo pretty.. my fave highlight color so far!!!!

 

[GlamQueen21]

Smoke and Mirrors palette or Sorceress palette? I cannot decide which palette that I want now. Smoke and Mirrors looks like the perfect neutral palette but I don't want to abandon the neutrals that I use everyday.
