MAC Punk Couture Collection (December 26, 2013)

*hugs* I'm glad you made it away from that party in one piece. I will never understand how people feel they have the right to abuse people in any way shape or form and even more so how some people will actually make excuses for the abuser. It is never okay to injure someone emotionally, sexually or physically and it's something that needs to be taken way more seriously than it is.

Just wanted to say that I feel for all the ladies who have been assaulted , I too am a vitctim. Not of sexual abuse but abuse period. I cant believe im sharing this but I was stabbed by a guy at a party in my right temple. I ran and called the cops but everyone at the party lied and said I hit my head on the table so he got away with it and I got stuck with a 6000 hospital bill, not to mention the emotional trauma as well as the physical that I endured afterwards. And people still try to say its my fault. I was assaulted at a Halloween party for refusing to dance with a masked man, and he physically assaulted me on the dance floor and they saw it and didn't even throw him out! I wasn't even rude about it I said I wanted to dance with my girlfriends. not to mention the abusive relationship that I was involved with. Too many people blame the victim for all sorts of these horrible things and it gets me outraged! I gave a presentation in one of my college courses, and I talked about violence against women ( includes others but mainly towards women) and this guy seriously said that women should be taught to cover up and learn not to be raped rather than teaching men that NO means NO!! I was so disgusted, but apparently I made him think with my response, because he decided to write his paper on my topic after my presentation. this topic gets me so upset!!! I am sick of people always blaming the victims!

@Naughtyp this makes me sad. I'm so sorry hun.He has to live with that guilt for ever. (Even if your pain never goes away) it's weak people that behave that way. You are strong. You survived. Some people are so heartless. Y would I want to cover some one like that up!!? Urghhhh

thanks hun., it def makes me very weary towards men! I am only 5'1 so I cant really do much to protect myself, but I do worry about worse things happening to me and I just pray everyday that nothing like this ever happens to me again. I am a lot stronger now and I don't wish harm on anyone but I also know that karma is a bitch and what we do does catch up to us eventually!

*hugs* thank girl. I agree, its a worldwide issue that def needs more attention.

Hi ladies... I'm really impressed at the bravery many of you have shown talking about some pretty horrific past experiences. I did want to remind you, though, that colour collection forums (and the cosmetic forums in general here) are indexed and therefore threads turn up in Google searches, both for members and non-members of Specktra. You may all be totally aware of this, which is great, I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows what they're putting out there in public.

If you do want a private space to discuss things- anything- there are a couple of sub-forums here: http://www.specktra.net/f/179/chatter

To be clear, it's totally up to you where you post, I just thought I'd mention it so that no one ended up finding out they'd accidentally posted something they intended to be private in a public area.

So now I'll go back to ogling all the photos of the PC lipsticks. Pretty much exactly as I wanted them to be, although I was hoping Studded Kiss would be just a bit darker, more like Charred Red was. That said, they make a pretty perfect dark lip wardrobe.

Ladies, these lipsticks look great on all of you & I'm so glad to see swatches! I really wish I ordered during the preorder period, but now I must just be patient for these beauties!

I'm sorry that all happened to you lady. No one deserves that. Don't let being 5'1 discourage you. Being 5'1 can have its advantages. Karma does go around though if not in this life, I'd hate to see what fates are for them on the other side.

Seeing as I'm procrastinating when I should be cleaning... Hautecore

Sorry about the dark-circles-no-makeup face and the strange greenish lighting, damn aqua breeze paint. I don't know about this on its own. I just slapped some on from the tube.

you look dope. the contrast of your platinum blond hair and hautecore looks so editorial! YOU BETTER WERK!!!

 

[lipstickology]

I love the way these lipsticks look so different on a variety of skintones! I was moderately excited for this collection before but seeing it on all of you has me unable to wait!

I too was a victim of sexual assault. Nothing is more terrifying than that feeling of total loss of control over your body, your being….smh. And people out here talking shit. That dumb comment had me so riled up. I am over here mellowing out with a glass of wine and listening to some music to cleanse my mind.

 

[thefbomb]

Hopefully we can get back to the lipsticks and all the door swatches. That being said I just want to say there's a lot of brave and strong people out there (some of who posted in here) that live with the memory of going through that and many who are going through it. You're tough and you never deserve/deserved that. We need to teach right from wrong and show survivors that they shouldn't be ashamed/guilted and that they're not alone or at fault. Love and good vibes to all you good peeps.

I like it! It's so striking against your skin and hair.

Oh girl, don't apologize for your face, you look great!

 

[NaomiH]

Me too, girl, I had to get up from my desk and go outside for a few minutes to calm down I was so ragey. And super big hugs to you. *big hug*
