I am a proud member of team backup but I only buy backups of items I really love and worship.
None of the BBR or HK Lipglasses looked that appealing to me.
There were some nice looking ones but either I already have something similar or I thought that something similar would be released soon anyhow so I rather spent the money on items now that are more unique IMO.
This is why I am unsure about the Naked Honey l/g and e/s too. I need to see some swatches.

Ok, maybe the comment about the tea was ridiculous, but that was at 3+ am for me, and I was half asleep then. I regretted it when I woke up in the morning even before I logged on to Specktra, but what's done is done.
I didn't think people would object to the experiment's findings, I thought I could just share it and get it over and done with. The people in my class were all very fascinated by it, so I thought it'll be good to share.
For the last time, I did not "broadly categorize people into 'Americans' and 'Asians' and stated conclusions based on it". It's not ME, but that's how psychology works, by assumptions and generalization. The paper, the authors (the PhDs), they wrote it this way, they actually chose American subjects to represent "Westerners". What can I do about it? I'm just an undergrad who is only qualified enough to cite them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Besides Style Warriors, A Rose Romance and Double Dazzle, I honestly have no freaking idea what products accompany the other collections, and even for those 3 I only have a vague idea of the products accompanying them. I have decided it's better to not know anything.
No knowledge = No wishlist = No frustrations and budget planning
When I check out the products IRL and try them out, it will be obvious which products are meant for me, and it's usually only a few items. I was honestly damned frustrated about trying to cut down my HK wishlist, but after trying on the products I only went home with 3 items, a huge contrast to my original wishlist of about 10 items. All that frustration and unrest was uncalled for, but the experience served as a good learning lesson for me.
Sorry, I'm boring. But I think this is a good and practical strategy. It saves money, kills lemmings, and only buy the products that look good on me.

I'm not going to go in depth on my thoughts regarding this, but I will say I agree that you'd best take this elsewhere. My apologies, Naked Honey. Bring on the makeup! |

The experiment and findings weren't even my own, I even gave credit to the authors and tried to explain everything the very best I could.
Thanks for this post, Elaine, I really appreciate it.
I feel like I've done waaaaay too much explaining on Specktra recently, don't know why I keep getting misunderstood, but I'm honestly very tired. Hey, explaining takes up lots of time, effort and brain cells too, even though it probably took you less than a minute to read through it.
I need to start on my actual assignment now...

So if anything, attack the people who made the study, not Winnie who learned from that study and merely reported the findings, don't attack the messenger. And I think bringing up her tea comment isn't relevant, more of a personal attack, but that's my opinion. Things can be offensive without people intending to, I don't think it was her intention, and she's explained it as such, so I think we can give her the benefit of the doubt. Otherwise, I do understand your sentiments too Samantha and like you said, if it doesn't interest you, then don't read it. Yes, it could've done in it's own thread, but I don't find it too big of a deal that it wasn't. That's all I'm going to say about it. |

I think I'm going to have to smell this stuff IRL. I dunno if smelling like honey seems that appealing anymore.

this collection sounds really good! the eyeshadows all sound very gorgeous and wearable, but of course i'm a neutral/gold e/s type of girl. queen bee l/g sounds pretty, and so do the honeycomb highlighters (or powders..? whatever they were..) i might get my first ever MAC fragrance because these sound sexy!

I will get Queen Bee solely for the name. If the color looks good on me, even better. I did not get any lippies from HK, HKK, BBR, Chill or Dame Edna but this one is a must. Dh is always teasing me about being the queen bee in the house. Regardless of what it looks like, I will make it work for me.
Anybody like to drink milk with honey in it? Dh taught me about this and our kids love it. It's like a special treat he makes for them once in a while.

I want all of the eye shadows but I am still bummed that they didn't bring out the original pollen eye shadow. That is in my top three MAC eye shadows of all time.

Pollen was one of my favorite shadows , I agree it's a fabulous color. Such a perfect name and color to go with this collection, doesn't make sense.
