Maleficent - 3
Dr. Facilier - 4
Cruella - 1
Evil Queen - 0

If things hadn't sold out quickly it would be more like Maleficent 6, Dr. Facilier 5

Okay ladies, let's have some fun. When it comes to number products purchased, how did your villains score? I'm curious to see if any particular villain dominated.

It appears that some of them are coming back thankfully!
Yes, I see they're coming back now!

Yay!
Can you imagine chatting without the smilies here? I would feel like this.

Hehe!

I agree with what Lou has said - buying few products means you'll end up with the ones you will really like and use. Sometimes I buy a product because of all the raves (e.g. Flurry of Fun l/g, lipliners from the Too Fabulous collection, Style Black MES, Blue India n/l, etc...). Are those products worthy of the raves? Yes, most definitely, I don't deny that they are gorgeous. But I haven't gotten around to using them yet, either because it's a type of product that I hardly use (e.g. l/l, l/g, e/s) or it's a color that I don't typically reach for. So don't feel bad about buying "too little", cutemiauw! Sometimes, less is more.

Thank you Winnie

. Specktra forums are making me crazy with all the raves sometimes

. But that's what I love about it though, it gave me the extra nudge to try out new things that I don't usually go for!
I'm still learning my way through makeup, so it's always interesting when I saw a new technique or a use of a product I never thought of
smiles.gif
. I just recently discovered the wonders of l/l. One thing I very rarely use is n/p. I'm not so careful with my nails so I consider myself lucky if a n/p could stay good until the end of the day!

. I love Specktra but sometimes I'm also unsure if I could contribute since I usually only buy such a meager quantity compared to you guys

Back to what I got from VV:
Cruella: 1 (I had Sweet Joy from Holiday 2008 palette and I love it!)
Maleficent: 1 (Revenge is Sweet l/g)
Evil Queen: 1 (Strange Potion l/g)
Dr. Facilier: 1 (French Quarter GPS)
So, in my case it was a tie

Awww, don't feel that way at all! You picked some great stuff! Do you have a favorite item from your purchases?

Thank you

From VV I love French Quarter GPS! There's so many things I could do with it, e/s base, liner, it's also pretty on its own. I love the color of Strange Potion, but I need a mirror when applying it or it'll look very streaky. Revenge is Sweet is nice, but I don't go for purple lips that often... I'm still hoping I'll like it more when winter comes.

And I don't know about this new format here on Specktra...I'm trying to get used to it. Change is sometimes hard.

Mine still has the pattern on it, too. *giggle*
I'm curious. Has anyone ever finished any BP before? Any idea how long BP will last if you use everyday?

Oh, I'm so thrilled! I had gotten Innocence, Beware! when it was first released, and have been loving it. Last Friday I was at a football game and I haven't seen it since. I think it fell out of my pocket. (it makes me sad to imagine where that puppy is now). I have been stalking all the retailers, hoping it would come back in stock. No dice. I was this close to resorting to evilbay. shudder.
Today, on a whim, I called my Dillards, and the lady was, "Oh, we have plenty of those left"

Um, she didn't really understand my surprise.
Anywho, I can't get to the counter until next week and just asked if she would ship it. Yay!!!!

And I was one of those dreaming about this lipstick. My dreams were of me finding the lipstick in all kinds of weird places.

Anywho, if anyone is looking, it's the Dillards in the Northeast Mall in North Richland Hills, Texas. 817-589-0614
Natasha helped me.

I meant to ask how the stock was on some of the items I know some here are looking for. My party in my brain blocked that nerve transmission.

I'm wearing Briar Rose today and I'm NC50...it's beautiful on my skin color as well. I think BR is a must have. I'm hoping everyone who wanted it got it.

Hee.. Thank you Lou

. I do love my purchases most of the time. I stop using them only when there's only a little left on the pan/bottle and I realized that I didn't have and backups (damn LE items :p)

I looove French Quarter too:) It is super versatile and I love using it as a base and liner too but you're right, it does look pretty on it's own! I fought with wether or not to get strange potion because it is so pretty. I could see how it would need to be applied in front of a mirror though!

wow i had been so engrossed in the VV, TT, and Chanel threads that I didn't even see all the threads regarding specktra's makeover! D'OH!

ugh i almost attempted to do counts of everything that i got but i just got too much...and i was so angry that mac messed up one of my orders that i was still spending so much time to get it back instead of trying out my new goodies...it makes me so angry, (maybe it's just the businesswoman in me) but i like to hear about how people are improving themselves after they make mistakes to prevent it from happening again...and MAC CS just did not sound like they were doing any of that at all...it was almost insulting when they offered a free product to me to try to appease me...i thought it was so belittling and reminiscent of a parent disappoints you or yells at you inappropriately and then buys an ice cream cone later to make up for it...i mean why don't you just spend that energy to improve yourself in the first place...I don't want an ice cream cone nor do i want some random free product... I mean it worked real well when i was 5 but now i just feel like they are missing the point.

oh a lighter, less angry note, i can't stop wearing red lips! i still feel like i need to lose more weight in the face first before i draw all that attention to my face but boyfriend and i have been eating super healthy and exercising (he bought an arcade-sized DDR pad, LOL because he knows that i hate all forms of un-fun exercise)...i have been starting with lighter plums like plumful and the red l'oreal HIP tendertone knockoff (i totally recommend this!) ...soon i will work my way up to intense reds like heartless and chanel exces!!!!

oh this winter will be very red-ful...

I really like Briar Rose BP! I've been wearing it with Notable blush and the combo is pretty!
I've forgotten how gorgeous Notable is. I have so many blushes its not funny!
Hmmm- I wonder what would be a good MSF to wear w/BR. Let me see ...
Any ideas?

today i tried two virtues over br, they are in the same family so it gave it a glowy look without changing the colour too much. I might try petticoat or by candlelight at some point but br is pretty on its own.

After wearing everything a few times, Oh So Fair & Bad Fairy are my winners from this collection
smiles.gif
OSF is my go to blush now, it gives me a gorgeous natural glow that doesn't look overdone. And I've had loads of compliments about Bad Fairy

Does BR come off as more pink or more purple? I was able to locate one at Macy's that's on hold for me, but I wanted to see what to expect. I don't wear foundation, but I'm guessing I'm about an NC50. I have yellow undertones as well. I have seen posts were people of similar shading love it, but I don't know there undertones - and I don't know if that matters or not.

Please help/enable - whatever way you want to look at it.
