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...

OK I did a search but couldn't really find what I'm looking for. I want to apply fake eyelashes to my BOTTOM lash line, I'm kind of going for the Twiggy look. I know how to do the normal ones on the top lashline, but want to do both top and bottom for this look. Like this, but with different...

OK as some of you may know, I dabble with photography on the side. I've been doing self-portrait shots lately, not because I'm so self-absorbed or something and think I need a million pictures of myself, but rather because I don't know a lot of people here that I can ask to pose/model for me and...

OK a lot of people have asked me in PM how I am able to take such clear pictures of my make-up. I thought I would compile a list of tips so that everyone can get great results. 1. Try to take your make-up pics in natural light conditions. Daylight is best to show off your make-up skills. I...

This is similar to yesterday's FOTD for me as I used some of the same products, but I bought Jest e/s yesterday new and I've been playing around with it. I'm not wearing foundation so you can see my freckles, haha! Eyes: Stilife Paint, Jest e/s, Mulch e/s, Quo brown eyeliner smudged top...

I got Jest e/s today and it's one of the few light coloured neutrals I have. I just love how it looks! But how do I wear it? Note, I don't wear pinks so don't suggest pink shades. I have a lot of bronzey and coppery shades, also brown...I thought those might go?

Wanted to go for a taupey brown neutral eye today and here's what I came up with. Eyes: Tan pigment, Melon & White pig. mixed, Mulch e/s. Rimmel Chianti eyeliner, Cover Girl Lash Exact. Face: Bare Minerals Fairly Light foundation, Blushbaby blush Lips: Lip Lacquer in Babied

So I guess a lot of you have now had a chance to check out the new collection. What did you think of it? I have to say, I once again was disappointed. This was the 2nd collection in a row I passed up on - both Sundressing and Sweetie Cake were really average to me. I didn't like either of the...

I need a better crease & blending brush, the one I have is poo. I was at MAC today planning to get the 222, but then the MA handed me a 272 to try out and I really liked it as well! I could apply the shadow directly to the crease with the light angle that it had. But now I'm not sure what I...

I just adore this perfume!! I had been eyeing it for close to a year but the high cost kept me away, but finally I got it from my boyfriend as a present for Christmas. I got the Eau de Toilette but wow - the lasting power is just as strong as the eau de perfumes I own, or even stronger. The...
