Hi to all the ladies of Specktra - I miss hanging out with you all!
'Just to jump in on the Blooming Lovely conversation, I find it really works fine on me at this time of the year - from end of Jan./Feb into about the end of April - then the rest of the year it starts looking weird.
I assume it's a combination of my post-winter into spring skin tone & texture combined with the light quality in the environment at this time of year here in Los Angeles. In the summer, the light in this town gets more golden then moves into orange and red in the fall and then is rather whitish in the winter, but in the spring, there's a bluish cast everywhere you go because it's the time of the year we have the most green on the hills, covering the vines on people's fences, etc. I don't know about anyone else, but seasonal ambient light really makes the difference for me when it comes to weird colors that younger gals have less trouble pulling off.
'Just as an aside, I was taking a walk yesterday in late afternoon and the star jasmine covering fences and walls was so bountifully in bloom. You could smell that beautiful sweet perfume for blocks in every direction. Spring has sprung for sure! Who ever said L.A. doesn't have seasons is DEAD WRONG
.
P.S.: I am going to be buying the hell out of this collection!

I do love blooming lovely and I wear it a lot - but I am glad to hear that people don't think it will be like QC because I am looking forward to something new

Hi Ladies, Just wanted to throw my two cents into this. I love Blooming Lovely!!! I should knock myself in the head for not buying a back-up of it
. I really do like the greyish-lavender color. Lavender Whip is another fine color that I love. I am still planning on buying four out of the five lipsticks from QC. I have a lipstick addiction as if you couldn't tell. I had been hoping that Play Time would be a seriously intense purple like Go For It (another one I absolutely adore), but it looks a little light. Still getting it. I love unique colors!!! They make me happy.Honestly, just buying lipsticks makes me very happy.

One of these days I'll have more time to hang out with everyone!
I haven't had a good purply blush in many years, pale or otherwise. Even Overdyed wasn't as purple-magenta as I'd been hoping and I wound up skipityskipping it. Fingers crossed for Sakura. My main ogling is going towards Candy Yum Yum and a few other lipsticks, the quad and perhaps the weirder plushglasses.
