I'm having THEE hardest time making a list for this collection...
Hopefully we get some swatches soon to help me narrow them down. My lippie situation is out of control! So I need to be VERY selective about which ones I add.
I know we hate the trolls stealing pics... but if we aren't able to share swatches and collection info out of fear of it being stolen, then that cuts into the very heart of what Specktra is about for many of us... sharing and collaborating on products. I think if we refrain from posting just to keep trolls at bay, THEY have been given the control. Afterall, the collection will launch and everyone will get what they want, or they won't. And at that point those coveted swatches and pics become a thing of the past and it's onto the next new collection. The cycle continues as always. So, yes, a troll gets their 15 min of "fame" on an IG account or blog, but more important than that... OUR community gets to share and be involved in these new collections in the ways we always have! And that brings us closer as a community of makeup lovers. Those trolls will NEVER have that kind of camaraderie! No matter how many pics they steal! At the end of the day they are still lying, thieving, and miserable people chasing the next swatch "fix!" And we are all bonding over love for makeup and Specktra friendship! I for one don't think that the trolls deserve that amount of power over us as a community!
Now that being said, I can obviously appreciate those that have the ability to get these early swatches feeling vulnerable and violated. It's clear it's a F'D up situation. And whatever those individuals choose to do is completely understandable. Just know WE here at Specktra appreciate the info and swatches MORE than the followers of any poser!

Thanks beautiful! I've been just kinda observing but trying to get back into full-on action! Needed to get back into the swing of things and pull myself out of my slump. I just didn't want to try to avoid dealing with the emotions I was feeling or possibly dull my pain with a spending spree, so at first I had to lay low. Happy to be back w/ my lovies!I'm so glad to see you back in the threads, Pixie.

I'm not sure a "mid-tone cement biege" or "soft peachy mocha" will look flattering on my skin tone which is why I'm not #TEAMALLTHELIPPIES. lol

I'm not 100%... And I'm guessing I'll never be. Which just means it was a special relationship. When we lose someone so close, I think a little part of us is supposed to feel a little different. Giving your heart to others always means there's a little empty space when they're gone. But hopefully time will leave it filled with good memories and not so much the feeling of sadness and loss that's there now. Being around you sweeties helps a lot.I totally understand what you're saying and I hope you're doing okay now.
