Erine, thank you for being the 100% most reliable source on the web for MAC info, more so than any beauty blogger or instagrammer. Unlike the latter, you have nothing to gain-- neither clicks, commission, page views, or followers. When it is 2 f*cking AM and a new member asks, "Can (insert product) work on my (insert skin tone)?" you are there. When the forums and threads are all dead because we spent all our money on the Osbournes, you bring Specktra back to life on a Friday night. You don't HAVE to do these things. Yet you do so graciously and often without thanks. So if you are pissed off that people are stealing info and not crediting you, you have every right to say so HERE. You are a valued member of your community. And if anyone wants to take issue with Erine's trademark snark, I ask you to post the same questions and "MAC, we need the color story PLEASE" prayers to your instagram merchants and your ebayers that mark stuff up 200%. I am sure they wouldn't extend you any courtesy. Erine, please don't let a few people's comments turn you off. I noticed that one of them is someone who was "caught" selling LE stuff at high markup last year... So maybe your "stop stealing my pics" comment hit too close to home!

This. I was not going to call her our but that was my thought immediately.

They are selfless in their sharing and that is what offended me most about the support of that silly notion that she and others that love Specktra stop posting teasers.

I am not mean by nature or just for funsies but I have ZERO tolerance for bs. I think saying take this info you post and shove it was far beyond that tipping point for me just because of the lack of appreciation for those that bust their butts to come here and share.

And...gfg Plagiarism is theft and deserves awareness and to be shared when we know who the offenders are.

Wholeheartedly agree Mousy! As an English prof, I deal with plagiarism like you wouldn't believe! Between the misinformation regarding what constitutes it and the sheer laziness of people, it definitely deserves more awareness.

I really think we should just keep doing what were doing. If the info stops they will have won! Don't give them the satisfaction that they made us change. Erin you are so fucking fabulous dont you change and stop what youre doing for anyone.

Electricity is back, but the router seems dead. So no 'real' internet, just my slow phone. Will reply to posts later.

His college friends mostly. I like ABQ Uptown a bit for the Melting Pot, MAC, and Lush. We also like Two Fools Tavern and he likes some other places in that area (I go for Urban Outfitters). There is a spa I love in Santa Fe but I am not remembering the name at all.

Came in to say I am skippity skip skip skipping this collection in favor of the October Mattes. And everything Strong Woman said in her post above is right in line with my thoughts. I also think it's ironic that of all the IG users to be talking trash Shop Macez got the nerve....with their haters post previously. Explicative in the watermark aside, I suggest adding that reposting the images is plagiarism in the watermark Since ppl lack common sense and internet etiquette. Erine was waayyy too nice in her post lol. oh. and I love all my Specktra ladies. Whether we agree or disagree on matters. There's a forum I'm a part of that charges like $6 a year/$12 for access to certain premium threads...to be honest, It's not that bad and it cuts out a lot of none sense as many trolls won't pay for the access and the ones who do are Very Easily spotted, and once banned won't be bothered to go through the headache of getting another IP address to use and paying another yearly fee. Yes, I do remember the thought being discussed in a Riri Thread late last year but lost track on what happened with it...ppl balked at the idea? or the price? I gotta do a search.
