I don't really see the Caribbean in this packaging but I see definitely see Miami and summertime written all over it!I'm not sold on the look and style of the packaging. It looks somewhat cheap to me. I dont see "Caribbean" or summertime when I see this and Ive been to the Caribbean many times. Curious to see how the actual product performs since thats what really matters, right?Alluring Aquatics had a similar metallic packaging but was simple and elegant.

I see the Caribbean vibe too. Reminds me of home. But I think the colours are more from the colour you see on soap bubbles when they reflect in the sun. They look just like the packaging to me. I feel the packaging will look a lot better in person than in pics TBH.

I'm going to need something from this collection just for the packaging.

I'm meant to just get something for my Rasta-colour obsessed, reggae-loving friend but I agree with [@]Shars[/@], I think it will look even better in person

I have issues with red gold and green myself. Anything "rootsy". And bright colors so yeah, this is a must. I have to look and see what I'd want.

I'm getting Morange for sure as I don't own it as yet. I have to wait and see re the other lipsticks. I will probably get the two brushes just because. And the highlighter/blush of course.

I would love to get her a bronzer because the compact looks so good but she doesn't care for bronzers at all. She can work with any shade of lipstick so I think that's the way to go. Anything in particular piquing your interest?

Hmm I didnt notice that until you pointed it out. I could see this as being a variation of the "red, yellow and green" rastafari colors. That color block would have been cool but the yellow, reddish-pink and turquoise gradation didnt remind me of the summer for some reason.
Whereabouts in the Caribbean are you from? I love that region and the people are so friendly!

I don't think there is a palm tree. I remember a while back some of the pictures made it appear that way, but then people on here figured out it was just a reflection, right? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I think you are right I seem to remember that convo as well. Because in later pictures from different angles you can't see any trees or anything for that matter aside from the color gradients

That could be the case.

I'm sure they don't know about any of that sordid history.

I had no idea we couldnt share links? (or is it just the reference to that site? Im puzzled as to why it would be a problem) but Ive seen links elsewhere on specktra.
I posted the link as a reference for a point I made earlier about a design but I'm happy to retract the link if its a problem

It's fine, Sweetie. Most people on Specktra prefer links and pictures from Trendmood not be posted here. It's specifically a Trendmood thing. I won't go into it all but there is bad blood there.I had no idea we couldnt share links? (or is it just the reference to that site?
