How do you allocate your funds when you have a makeup addiction, but you're also into fashion? Do you spend more on fashion (clothes, accessories, shoes, etc) or on your makeup collection? Can you curb your makeup addiction when you want to buy clothes? As for myself, I'm at a point right now...

* Note to mods, I tried to submit this thread but hit a weird key on the keyboard so if it's a double, please delete the other thread and keep this one. * What kind of makeup do you usually wear to work in a more FORMAL setting (like in an office). This doesn't apply if you work in a relaxed...

Should be coming out first week of September, I was told yesterday at the MAC counter in Bern.

Summer is drawing to a close, so I decided to do an autumn inspired FOTD, using warm golds and rust colours. Let me know what you think!

I loved my haul from the A Muse & Technacolor collection (check the Haul forum for pics of what I bought.) Here's the look I did with it last night to see one of my favorite DJs, Richie Hawtin! I took these pics at nighttime with a bright flash so I'm sorry, the colours aren't quite as...

I decided to reward myself for hardly doing any shopping this summer, by snatching up some great stuff on sale. Here's pics of my stuff... Oh, I also got a glitter liner from another company (cheapo stuff) And some body products....boring I know! And here's the clothes I got. It's hard to...

I got: MSF in Shimpagne Pompous Blue e/s 15 Minutes lipstick I love Shimpagne! Was really unimpressed by Porcelain Pink tbh, and they were already sold out of Shooting Star so I didn't get to see that. But I suspect it would have been too dark for me anyway so I was ok with that. I also...

I was trying to do something fun with my hair today, not sure why it reminds me of a pornstar look but it does somehow, haha. Did a smokey bronzey eye, personally one of my fav looks for me. Colours are fun but I think the bronze and brown looks suit me best. Here's some pics of how it turned...

I did these a while ago so I can't really remember all the things I used. First one is a bold red lip that I very rarely do, I usually just prefer a more natural gloss. But whatever, change is good! This one's taken in bright sunlight... And a closeup of the eye Products Face: Clinique...

Just got off the phone with the MA Agnes from the MAC counter in Bern, and she told me that they are going to get the A Muse, Avant Gold and Technacolor collections all in August, probably 2nd or 3rd week of. Untamed is arriving in September, and apparently there's another Roccoco collection...

Which is your favorite finish for your make-up? Can be anything - eyes, lips, foundation, etc. Vote in the poll and we'll see what is the top one. Personally, I prefer a light shimmering finish.

Finally another tutorial from me! Since this one got so many replies and also some people asking for a tutorial, I decided to do it again step by step. http://specktra.net/showthread.php?t=50819 This is the final look we're going for. Unfortunately the flash washed out the colours a bit and I...

Sorry, I've been a bit absent from Specktra. Was gone a week on vacation to London. Attended my sister's wedding and I did a trial run a week or so before. I was too busy on the actual day of the wedding to get a pic, so here's some pics of the trial run. It's pretty much what I did anyway, just...

What's a perfume you like that not many people know about or wear? Seems like a lot of women tend to wear the big selling names, Dior, Chanel, D&G.... what's a perfume that you think is nice AND unique? For me, I like.... Carolina Herrera - Chic Nina Ricci - Premier Jour & Love in Paris...

I'm going to be in London UK for a week in July, and I would really like to hit up a beauty supply store, or a very big makeup store that sells lots of different stuff..something like Sephora! I also want to buy false lashes and stock up because they are SUPER expensive here in Switzerland and...

Haven't posted any FOTDs in a while because I moved countries! But now I may have some more opportunities again. Went out last night and decided to go for a hot pink look. These pics are taken after I got home, so not immediately after application, so the lipstick looks a bit worn already. Oh...

I recently moved from Canada to Switzerland and since I don't have a job here, I thought I would seize the opportunity to apply for MAC. I mean, why not? I'm unemployed, I love MAC, I know a lot about the products, and I think I'm pretty good with applying it... So I called up the MAC central...

This is the ULTIMATE favourite of favourites list. If you can only pick 1 MAC item that you think stands above and beyond the rest, what would it be? It can be anything - eyeshadow, brush, lipstick, bronzer, etc. Please just limit yourself to ONE item. My pick: #182 LE Kabuki brush

OK I was trying to do a retro Twiggy look here, with the white & black smokey eye, and the huge lashes. First time applying lashes to the bottom but it worked really well. I love DUO glue, it stuck all night!! Eyes: White pig. with mixing medium Carbon e/s Jest e/s Fluidliner e/s Rimmel...
