You know, I noticed that too.  Don't get me wrong, my makeup "collection" already looked like I had an illness BEFORE I joined Specktra, but now it looks like I should be in a padded cell.  :blink:  
I second that!
i totally agree. I will have my mind on skipping a collection then i see all the swatches and pictures and then all i know is i am placing several orders. I remember when i only had one lipstick and now i have over 100

I thought I was bad. I have bought 14 this year, not including what I plan on buying before the end of the year.

Lawd have mercy. So guy have all come out to pull me into the dark side. But to be honest, I was think that RRW will look so nice with the essie belugaria nail polish. Off to the Mac website I go. Welcome to the dark side. Lol thanks everyone!

Belugaria def is on the dark side! I have to try this combo when I have Belugaria on my nails. Although I have not 'found' RRW yet.

I'm laughing so hard at this lmao! I did a purge and bought lots of storage around this time last year, by the time I joined spectra I had another overflow of crap! I'm dragging my feet on purging again smh. I'll probably just sanitize everything I don't want and give it all to my younger sister and cousins that don't have or aren't into a lot of makeup. Then it will all be replenished in December lmao!

I didn't have ANY lipsticks before February this year and now I have 25 and it doesn't seem to be slowing down, lol!! I'm trying to slow down and I want to use up items before I get more!!

I've bought sooooo many lipsticks this year. Definitely over 25. I need to slow down!
Me too. I think I'm a bit north of 25. I'm afraid to count. I have 4 cosmetic bags and I can't even close them. Spectra has everything to do with that. However, when the RiRi Fall Collection came out I only had one piece.... The RiRi lip liner. Now I have everything except WTC.

Haha Specktra certainly has a large part to do with my MAC lipsticks! But I've been buying tons of other brands too...Givenchy, YSL, Rimmel London, Topshop to name a few. I'm so addicted. And that's so true about the RiRi collection, imo it wasn't even that great but given the opportunity I would have totally gone back for WTC and Nude at the time because of Specktra! I only ended up with TTT though, which I am happy with. :)

I had zero lipstick at the start of the year. The one lipstick I had mac myth dont know what happened. Now I have 14, just bought another 5 minutes ago and currently plotting to buy riri bad gyal, pleasure bomb, punk coutoure, instigator and haute core. I'm need a part time job to keep up with this growing makeup addiction.

I don't even want to count my lipsticks. I don't have a neat storage setup so it's a pain in the butt to find a lipstick I am looking for. The other day I felt convicted when I was searching for a lipstick and thought "What the heck do I need all these for?!"

I've watched MAC lipstick collections on YT and some girls will try to justify their 10 MAC lipsticks and say something about how they've purchased them over a long period of time and I'm just thinking..."Oh, man. You think that's bad??! Don't look at my collection

" If I were to do one of those videos with lip swatches my lips would fall off.

I got a lipstick holder on eBay for $5. It holds 24. When I bought it I only had 4 lipstick. I had no idea that I would have filled up even half in the timeframe of less then a year. Once I get the my Dec collection purchases. I going to buy some new brushes.

I have too many lipsticks to count since since I started specktra, I'm not even including early backups. A lot of them are LE's that are really bright and I can't wear a lot of them to my kid's school events. I've since stopped backing up trendy colors that's very season-specific or too in-the-moment. I gravitated towards building my perm neutral lipsticks because my life demands more wearable colors right now. Le sigh.

I have a solid 85 lipsticks. My lip glasses and cremesheens, etc, is around 100. Mind you, I've finished some things. I really plan to slow my roll in 2014. I've been so out of order this year. The last time I ODed like this was 2010.
