I wish I had those colors too! I'm new to specktra as well.
Welcome, fellow newbie!

Rats, BS lipstick looks like poo on my lips. (literally, like poo. I guess the initials should have been a warning) Yes, I am always late to try new stuff. Any tips for making it work? I am thinking either a pink liner or pink gloss. If not, maybe I can mix it with Fleshpot since that one looks like putty. Hmm, maybe the mix will be like a putty lavender...

Lol at BS.
It doesn't exactly look like poo on my lips, but on its own it's not my favorite colour either, that's why I have put it up for sale. If you happen to have Daddy's Little Girl: I once tried DLG and some BS for an ombre effect. I actually looked pretty cool. You can always try a different liner (Vino for example or Nightmoth to vamp it up).

I tried BS mixed with almost all of my lippies and it looks great with anything cool toned. Up the Amp, Hot Gossip, Syrup, Lavender Whip, Feel My Pulse, Strong woman, etc I am really impressed with this lipstick as a nuancing agent!

I don't think I ever posted my haul here. So much for trying to cut things out of my list! I ended up with all of the lip products (though I did get Oh, Oh, Oh LS and Summer Sweetheart LG to give to a friend, only), both blushes, both pearlmattes, the Veronica quad, and Cheers My Dear pigment.

I have been cutting way back on purchases since then.

It takes me awhile to try a lot of things because I already have so much stuff, but so far I have used DLG ls, GND ls, and the Veronica quad. Love the quad and used it fairly regularly right away. GND is not a good look on me at all on its own. Too pale and milky on my deep pink lips. DLG is awesome though! One of my favorite lipsticks, easily!

Those of you looking for this collection at the CCOs: It has already started showing up. My area CCO got in Strawberry Malt LG around mid to late March, and when I was on vacation recently, one of the several CCOs I visited had one of the lipsticks, and another lipglass (I can't remember which colors, sorry!).

I have all of these lippies and will have to try BS with at least one of them.

I have a strong hunch that AG items will be next to show up at the CCOs prob in the summertime. Since Styleseeker, Marilyn and Glamour Daze items were already seen at CCOs then ? Making Pretty and AGs may be next IMO. I hope so as if I didn't haul enough already.
that would be nice. I am going to my cco on Thursday. hopefully they will have some of the things from this collection

forgotten about Taste Temptations, Strength and Apres Chic although sometimes it seems as tho items that pop up at CCOs are so random.
I guess it has to do with what items are available and how quick the CCO manager put in the order for their store etc. I recall a sales associate in a Orlando CCO telling me in December when I visited that her manager is Mac crazy and they do seem to get some the best items at that location ever so quickly. I hope AG does show up soon tho.

Really, now? That is too funny because I got impatient and ended up getting the 136 brush from a lovely Speckerette recently. They were moving back and forth in different locations of the store
I normally frequent so when I called there I was informed that they won't be getting any new items until they are fully situated back in their original area of the store (hopefully by this week, mid June)
