Amen! And don't even start me on Whisper of Gilt.. I've been trying to hunt one down, and the only one I found was practically scathed from use and the seller still wanted almost U.S. retail price for it. On eBay it's going for almost $100. I hope it gets re-promoted soon!!
It's ridiculous, luckily I got my hands on it! I was just irked when I saw a user buy on here and sold it on IG for something wayyy more than retail value smh. Hopefully it gets repromoted, so many missed out on it and it does make a lovely highlighter. :)

I get irritated by lurkers and people that steal info w/out giving proper credit, but what irritates me the most is people that take advantage of the hype of some collections (and people) for "business" purposes. I remember last summer this girl on IG started selling Feel my pulse l/s for $40 plus shipping and the damn lipstick was still available everywhere..the nerve

Sorry but I think once you buy something you have the right to sell it for whatever you want. I'm happy for ebay. Yah they sell for more but I was able to get a long ago released lipstick way after the fact. If I sell someone my car for let's say 20k and they resell it for 23k how can I get mad at that? I personally think its a waste of energy. If someone wants to buy it who are any of us to say how they should spend there money? I work hard for my money and if someone wants to sell me a lipstick for 100$ and I want it enough and buy it how does it hurt anyone here in specktra?

Okay. Agree to disagree.

No CCO's in Australia unfortunately

I found them both on eBay. I actually liked all of the blushes but they were too similar to items I already have or those on my to-buy list. Did you check out Blazing Haute or Fiery Impact? You may be able to find others in the clearance bin. If not then check eBay coz the ones I found weren't overpriced, at least not compared to Australian MAC prices.
Ahhh, I see! Flaming Chic was my first foray into what appeared to be an intense blue-pink and I love that color and have ended up picking up more along those lines over the past few months. But BH AND FI were too peachy/coral for me. The furthest I'll go down that route is Melba! Thank you, though! I'll def keep my eye out for good prices for Bareness!

Check your local outlets if you have one near you! I am at Sawgrass Mills Mall now and I just saw Dimensional Blue, Extra Silver, Zestful, Opalesse and Triple Impact EDES. I have yet to see the skinfinishes and blushes at a CCO. I got back ups for my back ups of TI and Opalesse plus Polished Jet pencil from TR. Those were a part of my birthday gifts to myself today but I am still here so anything is possible.
Happy Birthday to another Libra

Not saying that it hurts anyone, if you have the money then go hard. Butttt I just think it's ridiculous how some people carry on like MAC is made out of gold. It's just makeup, it's not that serious. Chances are the colour will turn up in the next collection or the one after that, and will eventually get repromoted. But I do agree that eBay is amazing for helping me get items I've missed out on.

I agree that some sellers act stupid, like the 1k for riri items. But usually on ebay not always, it's the buyers who drive up the price. They bid and bid and for some people it's not just buying it but beating out other buyers. I'll see people with buy it not 35 and bidders over 40 bucks. It's also the buyers who are willing to pay. I've sold lipsticks on here and see them resell them I don't care and I don't bash them lol the struggle is real I don't know their situation maybe they really need the money

At the end of the day they are free to sell it at whatever ridiculous amount they wish and we're free to keep scrolling.

Yeah I guess. Lol the Rihanna collection was on another level. The prices were sooo ridiculous. I preordered TTT because I knew I would miss out if I waited for it to come online. Once swatches started coming in I wanted Nude but it was going for $60. F that!

No worries. If I recall correctly I think somebody said that Bareness was in the same colour family as Prism and Blushbaby, so maybe check those out if you haven't already.

Thanks to everyone for all the love shown on my b-day! You guys really do make me feel special . I don't want to be controversial on my special day but it just pains my heart to see members genuinely looking for an item for personal use and someone else deprive them of the opportunity for profit. Some things will never change no matter how hard we try. Without varying perspective then the forums would be boring. We just need to disagree in a tactful and respectful manner! At the end of the day we are all individuals and our agenda at times do differ. Back on topic , based on trends with the prior extra dimension launches there will be more of a chance to get the eyeshadows later (CCO,clearance bin,etc) so if funds are low which in a lot of cases they are then my suggestion is to snag the blushes, skinfinishes and a few eyeshadows you cannot live without, lol then go back for others and backups afterwards. I keep suggesting the Mac Gone But Not Forgotten Program to get recent collection items missed out on for retail value. Again, thanks for the warm wishes. It made my day!!! I wouldn't have spent it in any other thread, lol. :bouquet:

Happy birthday again! :) And this is the reason why I have a problem with what I stated before. I'll leave it at that. :)

Wheee! Specktra birthday party time!

If it makes anyone else feel less pressure, the shadows in this collection are very everyday and kind of ordinary. Not even such original colors for the EDES formula. Nothing much jumped out at me and I saw paper swatches of all of them.

I WISH we'd had swatches of the EDSFs and EDBs - those are going to be the ones to go to from this collection for sure!
