The following info just goes to show we are above average!!! According to a beauty journalist that was on the Good Morning America afternoon show, she said the 'average woman' spends $13000 in a lifetime on MU. She than proceeded to take a mountain of products & threw them in the trash! I was cringing and my stomach was flip flopping at the mere thought of someone scrapping my stash. She believes we only need the following products: 1. BB Cream- as oppossed to foundations, powders, concealor, etc. 2. ELF's multiple stick (can't recall the exact name of the product, but it's similar to NARS Multiple) 3. CG Lash Blast 24 Hour Mascara (I do love the purple tube of this mascara, but that doesn't stop me from owning 5 other types of mascara) 4. Jemma Kid's 2 in 1 Shadow & Liner 5. Revelon's Brow Fantasy She made no mention of lip products! Really, that is ridiculous...
Truly nighmare-worthy! I don't know if I will even be able to sleep tonight...a combination of shear terror at the thought of someone trashing my stash and a lipstickless, MSF-less world! Ahhhhh:barf:

I did indeed! These mineralise products are so hard to predict! I really really want Sky but I'd like to handpick it and can't do so for another month or two as my local counter is out of stock!
Thank you for your kind words, I love everything :)
What did you pick up? I'm sure your swirls are equally pretty!
I keep meaning to take new pics. Maybe tonight or tomorrow.

Your Earthshine is so unique! I think many ladies have been looking for one just like that! That MA is to die for....so much gold! Makes me want a third! Neither of mine have that much beautiful gold. Would love to see swatches! You got some beauties!

So I have a huge question, I think I'm going to give in and get 3 MES but don't know which I should get. I love bright colors but don't know which of these are unique enough to add to my collection. So if you guys can only have 3 of these which 3 would you pick??

Bright Moon with a lot of the aqua color, Magnetic Attraction (it isn't my favorite but it is unique), and Water with not a lot of yellow but a lot of the blue and shimmery mint color.

Earthy is my favorite but it is pretty dupable or has a lot of similar everyday colors close to it, my second fav is Invincible Light, but it too is not a crazy unique color. It is an everyday highlight color with some shimmer.

Has anyone tried Aurora as a contour shade? I can't really tell on my skin since it almost blends right in, but it might work for someone lighter.

My only suggestion is Magnetic Attraction, don't have anything like it. Also Neo Nebula is a love of mine but it is really light and very frosty, still should test it out though. I don't like blue's on me and haven't felt the need to get Water, so I can't really suggest those.

I love Magnetic Attraction and I only got it today! It's quite unique I think!

Ahhh! Fellow Specktrettes, don't hate me, but in a way I DO agree with her. While I couldn't bear to get rid of my stash, I can admit that most of it is completely unnecessary. I don't need a minimalist collection like the one she lists, but really, I've purchased 25+ highlighters and blushes over the last 4 months alone...I'll never get through that and I know my collection is tiny compared to most people here.

I actually don't wear a ton of makeup on a day to day basis, despite owning as much as I do. But really, I need my lippies! That's the one thing I cannot leave the house without!!!

Most of these products look inexpensive except I'm pretty sure Jemma Kid is pricey but I haven't tried any. I was on a site and I noticed Jemma Kid was on clearance. Are they still producing?


I actually love BB creams and sometimes prefer them over foundations. I've been wearing them for a few years now, but mostly Asian branded BB creams (which are FAR superior to the ones being released in America now). However, shades ARE limited, unfortunately.

Jemma Kidd used to be pricey but as far as I know, it's not carried in department stores anymore. I do know that Target carries a Jemma Kidd line, so I guess they're not marketing towards a "designer/couture" demographic anymore.
Edit: rereading this makes me feel like I don't even deserve to be on Specktra haha.
