I think I am becoming a lipstick snob. Everything in me is telling me, like someone else just mentioned, that one of the purple lippies from this collection is just a matted version of a permanant lipstick that Mac already has like Cyber. And after seeing a swatch from colored rain's arabian nights, I am sure that PC is its twin. BUT!!!! I want it in that MAC bullet!! WHY???? Ugh. You know I was doing just fine last year when I would randomly walk down the makeup aisle while at the pharmacy waiting for my prescription to be filled and just grab a clear or nude lip gloss that was on clearance for about a buck. How the heck did I end up like this!!! LOL!
No turning back now dcarrington, you've been owned by the silver/black bullet. :)

Just got my lipstick from Nordstrom! Wow, I know they claimed it'd be delivered today but I just figured since I hadn't selected any special shipping I couldn't expect it. I'm so impressed by them, this is awesome. I'm letting the lipsticks warm up a little before using them. I did try on Hautecore...yeah, a little patchy and like others have said not a true black. You have to layer it multiple times to hide some of the brown and make it opaque. Its cute though. Just wanted to say thank you to all the Specktra ladies for the information, notifications, and pictures. You guys made the whole experience much better, hope everyone gets their lipsticks and is happy with them.

Oooh, just received my lipsticks! I'd resigned myself to getting them on my birthday but looks like Nordies came through with their 12/23 delivery deal. Doing a few comparison swatches and will post in a few,
You've restored hope for the rest of us hoshiakari_, thanks. Looking forward to your swatches.

Yeah I feel like I maybe should have got a gloss or something to get rid of my shipping. But oh well! I have two of pigments already from PC so I just kinda got the lipsticks without thinking logically about shipping lol
Yea, the gloss would have ended up costing you just another $10 with the free shipping if you look at it that way. Gotta play their game, but then not much time to think when you are trying to hit the send button before stuff gets snatched out your cart.

Punk Couture and Instigator may swatch similar on the hand but I gotta say they're incredibly different on the lips. Instigator is my favorite out of the bunch. Its such a gorgeous deep purple color. All the lipsticks except for Studded Kiss seem to require multiple swipes to make the color fully opaque and not patchy.

Nooo. I've always wanted a white Christmas or at least rainy and cold. Lol
Well all that snow we did get that i told you about was melted by 3-4 days of 40-50 degree weather and constant rain. It was dreary and gloomy and depressing. :(. And now it's sunny but freezing cold! I'd give anything for 79 degrees! I hate this weather!!!
