I agree with all of you! It's just makeup and it should be fun. Also I've noticed recently some negativity (for lack of another word) against new people. It makes me a little sad to be honest because this is supposed to be a fun community where we share our love for makeup and welcome new members. I know some questions can be repetitive but we were all new members once and felt a little lost. We need to be more patient and understanding. Sometimes I feel in high school all over again lol That's why I don't comment a lot on some threads :/ And I agree with [@]Audrey C[/@] drama and angst is not fun at all!

I've never gotten notifications ever. I assume it's because I'm using Safari in OSX, rather than a mobile platform or Windows. I see it as a bit of a blessing - constantly getting Specktra updates ever 15 seconds would send me right to the loony bin.

Oh, I only have it set for direct stuff relating to my posts (so replies to me not every reply to a thread I'm subscribed to) or I'd go crazy too! But I do like to know when someone has liked/quoted my posts.I've never gotten notifications ever. I assume it's because I'm using Safari in OSX, rather than a mobile platform or Windows.

I hear what you're saying. It should be fun and sharing it's just not always the case. But there is so much positivity, too, like this thread!

I second this! All of it. In fact, this whole situation saddens me greatly. Even though I could fill an entire page here, I won't say any more than I will miss you @HerGreyness, but I understand perfectly.
All the best to you

@HerGreyness I'll be sorry to see you go.
I admit that this forum has helped keep me occupied and entertained through a very rough year. I don't know what happened in Osbournes, but as soon as that collection got posted on MAC's site early and people were posting quite rapidly, I had to escape the madness. I mean, I didn't even find a single item in the collection appealing so I have no idea why I was still following it. That being said, as you've all pointed out... it's just make up; a fun distraction from reality but some people are just too ready to tear into anyone for failure in the pursuit of something that doesn't really mean much in the grand scheme of things. Perhaps it's a lot of misplaced/misdirected emotion and the anonymity of the internet that contributes to this?
Whatever it is, it certainly brings out a lot of negativity and I am working hard in my personal life to not engage with that. Mindfulness meditation all the way. Choose your battles wisely because the energy is better spent elsewhere.
Now, I'm sure there's a red lipstick asking to be put on for some prime time catching up on Game of Thrones.

I'm sorry to jump in but [@]HerGreyness[/@] must know why she said what she did, she's just expressing her feelings. But perspective is a heck of a thing. What might be a joke to one might be rude to another. I try to be mindful of that.
Yes, let's not drag this out in the thread any further. If anyone has a problem with anyone else, please hash it out amongst yourselves via PM; leave everyone else out of it. If someone is breaking the rules, flag the post and we mods will deal with it. This thread is meant to be a supportive space, and I want to make sure it's kept that way. Mercy buckets!
