Quote:

Specktra is one of my favorite beauty resources. Its members are generally nice, and on the site you’ll find lots of useful makeup application and product information, much of which appears on Specktra before it appears anywhere else. Founded in June 2003, it’s now one of the most active beauty communities online, receiving about 9,000 vistors a day, many of them very knowledgeable about cosmetics. The amount of MAC information and the number excellent MAC tutorials on Specktra really sets it apart, but the site contains a wealth of information on other cosmetics lines as well. Each time you visit Specktra, you’ll learn something new, like breaking news about upcoming color collections or a new way to use a product in your favorite makeup line. And like the beauty forums over at Makeupalley.com, Craigslist and Sugar, Specktra is much more than a simple user forum.

While you're visiting make sure to take a look around - Karen is a professional writer with a delightfully off beat attitude & sense of humor and a crush on totally drool worthy Christian Bale. Her hilarious illustrations pepper each article she publishes on her blog. In my humble opinion Karen is one of the best Beauty Bloggers out there, you won't find any press release information simply copied and pasted. Karen thoroughly researches the products she writes about and hands you her inside dish. The product reviews are honest and forthright with criticism where deserved, you don't get the feeling a company is being promoted simply to promote it.

If you're a Specktra fan I ask you to please visit her blog, read the wonderful write up and LEAVE KAREN A COMMENT with your thoughts.

I am truly honored Karen featured such a useful and informative article about our site on her fabulous blog!

Holy crap! So I logged on to get my daily specktra fix (this forum is beauty crack, I swear) and there's my mug all up on the front page, LOL! Thanks to you guys/gals and to Janice for having such a great community and resource for all of us hopelessly addicted to makeup. Without you I'd be lost (where's the outer V again?!?!). I really enjoyed interviewing Janice and writing this post, and I hope that it's helpful to all the newbies! Take care, everyone
