I'm new to Specktra and I find myself not wanting to post anything because I see how new people are treated or blatantly ignored. I came here because I love makeup and wanted to discuss and share with like minded people. I also noticed there is some clique behavior. Kinda like high school the cool kids get to take part and until you prove worthy keep your opinion to yourself. Not so welcoming.

I love Syrup, such an easy to wear, flattering shade. It was one of my first ones that I used up, several times now.

Syrup is such a nice color! It seems similar to Cosmo which I just B2M'd for after the AA launch. For years I only had purples and a single bright pink from MAC so I've overlooked a lot of these kinds of nice nude rosy-pink neutrals. Once I cut down my stash a bit more and depot my MAC eyeshadows, I think I'll be B2M'ing for others like these. I still totally have Up the Amp on my list though lol.

Oh wow, I'm a bit taken aback by what has been going on here. I can't catch up on everything that has happened but I wish everyone the best of luck with whatever they're doing whether it be low-buy or leaving the thread at all.
I can't be bothered to look into the new MAC collections threads because I'm not interested in the upcoming collections, so I make sure to stay out of them.
Not interested in any other makeup right now. Maybe the new eyeliner by benefit but I'm not so sure if I can rock eyeliner. I usually do my makeup without it. Well, apparently I can't pull it off. Nothing to cry about.

I did! I was trying to find an alternative to Mystical because I'd already purchased two more lipsticks from that collection than I originally planned. I saw a few people mention Cosmo and Crosswires, so I swatched all three side by side. It's super pretty and on my B2M list!Cosmo is on my list too! Have you tried Crosswires?

It's a goodie. I find it moisturizing, too, but I know not everyone feels that way about lustres! In true low buy spirit... I think the Jordana twist & shine balm stain in honey love might be similar. I'll try to swatch when I get home... It's a great product for $2.99!

Curious, where would this argument/discussion have happened if Pixie had not started a low buy thread? It seems like there should be a specific thread for working out issues, so that this thread can remain one where we support each other in our goals, try to figure out why we buy more than we need, and work on using what we have. I haven't followed the Osbourne thread so I have no idea what exactly was said there, but if I were super new to Specktra, like some are, I would be very intimidated by reading some of these posts that are so angry.
I have no desire to get in the middle of anything, I'm only wondering if there is another place to post these.
