I'm not sure if it's normal but my EDES from last year smells really funky, I used my Sweat Heat and Rich Core this weekend and I could smell them while applying them on my eyes. Is it just mine? Is it normal? The scent wasn't strong like that when I bought them, not that I remember. I love them but if they start smelling bad I think I will skip them.



I think there's something about the formula that smells "metallic". It's hard for me to explain. The only thing I could liken it to IMO, is the way blood tastes in your mouth when you bite your tongue or something-- like you can taste the iron in it. You know how something can smell the way something else tastes but you can't really explain it? It is a funny smell that would make you think the product was spoiled though. It's not "stinky" to me, but it's definitely noticeable enough to make you wonder.

Hehe, that pretty much summed it up for my stash of edes. I took a few minutes to sniff them all and I never recalled them smelling of anything when I first bought them. But I cannot deny, there is a smell. My ANF is used very often and doesn't have the same smell. I can't help but wonder if maybe when they don't get used they acquire that unusual smell. It's like an old plastic-y coating smell on my less used edes.

Me three. I'm getting super impatient, especially since the Extra Dimension collections are my favorite.

 

[Tatiana87]

We are all hungry for those swatches LoL. Can't wait.

 

[miss0annette]

We need a Specktra meet up. Lol that would be awesome except we are all over the country and world.

I've been really really depressed lately. So I can't wait to see swatches to lift my spirits! Wore Young Venus and Sweet Heat today. Such a quick easy look. The design is gone on YV. And almost gone on SH. Love the ED formula!

Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear this. I've been having some serious ups & downs this year as well. The last two or three months have been brutal and I can't explain why. Sometimes it's just hormonal (I always blame it on hormones), but I am very slowly starting to get back to myself. I hope you do also. Makeup always puts a smile on my face and being on these boards with people that have the same interests and don't judge for our addictions is always a plus in my book.

A great big feel better hug for you!

I have been the same way too, and I, too, blame my hormones. Damn crazy things! The important thing is that it doesn't last forever and we can get through it and we're not alone! Specktra has been an awesome place to come to! Big hugs for sure!

 

[lenoradgrat]

I need swatches. End of story lol

 

[meker]

One swatch ....pretty please!!!!

 

[Debbs]

I was so hopeful we'd have pics/swatches by now. So sorry for pre-maturely building up some false anticipations. However, I hope we will see these beauties soon!

 

[deadSAVVY]

You're not alone ladies! Fall is my favorite season because it's not too hot or cold but it's something about seeing nature kind of die around you :/ and being darker out. I fight anxiety on the daily which isn't fun! Though, makeup and you lovely ladies always make my day better. Gigantic Hugs ladies!!

I've been feeling up and down too. I spazz out on the hubby a lot lately. I blame two kids, school and moving. I also think hormones. And men think they have it hard.. Humph

 

[singer82]

Thank you so much ladies! You make me feel like I'm not so alone. Music used to be my getaway, but right now its part of the reason I'm depressed. I sang in a band about 6 years ago. I've been searching to get back in it ever since. Found a band at the beginning of this year, but the band fell apart fast. One of the guitarists decided to stick with me. And I thought this is finally it! We were going to start something, we even have a band page. But he's pretty much given up on me and moved on. I know your probably thinking that's it? lol But singing is my passion. It's my heart. And not doing it makes me miserable. I've wanted to sing since I was a Iittle girl. I keep giving my hopes up and musicians crush me. It's so hard for a female singer to find anything in this town.
And my job is driving me crazy. But I'm hanging in there, cause I'm trying to start up a jewelry business that has been in progress for 3 years now and nothing has come of it yet. Were trying to get it ready to come out with investors breathing down our necks. It's a lot of pressure.
I'll get in these depressive funks just like we all do, but this one is really deep this time. I just can't seem to get over it. But coming on here helps tremendously! It's more then just a makeup forum. We all support each other and it's wonderful. I've lost a lot of my girlfriends. So being able to come on here really means a lot to me. I'm not going to lie...in all honesty I really can't afford to even buy makeup. I have no savings whatsoever. We barely keep our head above water as it is. But man...if I didn't have my love for makeup what do I have? Some people drink...I buy makeup lol. Anyways sorry for writing a book. I love you all and thank you for just being here.

Hey Singer82,
it takes a lot for a person to open up as much as you did. I can't sing a lick

but my husband has the voice of an angel. singing and playing music is what keeps him balanced and happy everyday. he is always singing especially when he is happy. Everyone has their vice I'm happy you know that you aren't alone.

 

[DMcG9]

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through a really hard time right now, Singer. Things will get better with some time and I find that a lot of good things do have a long fermenting period (like your forthcoming business venture) so to speak, so keep at it even when it's intensely stressful and frustrating because I am sure you can pull it off. The same with your music. I am sure you will get the break you seek and I'm glad your vice is makeup and not alcohol!

I'm sorry to hear that! I hope something comes along your way! I'll be sending you good thoughts! Don't feel alone we all get into funks it's the wave of life. I also can't sing in my teen years I even had a singing ban by my parents because I was so bad. The hubby tells me I'm beautiful but I can't sing for crap lol :frenz:
