Hi to all the ladies of Specktra - I miss hanging out with you all!
'Just to jump in on the Blooming Lovely conversation, I find it really works fine on me at this time of the year - from end of Jan./Feb into about the end of April - then the rest of the year it starts looking weird.
I assume it's a combination of my post-winter into spring skin tone & texture combined with the light quality in the environment at this time of year here in Los Angeles. In the summer, the light in this town gets more golden then moves into orange and red in the fall and then is rather whitish in the winter, but in the spring, there's a bluish cast everywhere you go because it's the time of the year we have the most green on the hills, covering the vines on people's fences, etc. I don't know about anyone else, but seasonal ambient light really makes the difference for me when it comes to weird colors that younger gals have less trouble pulling off.
'Just as an aside, I was taking a walk yesterday in late afternoon and the star jasmine covering fences and walls was so bountifully in bloom. You could smell that beautiful sweet perfume for blocks in every direction. Spring has sprung for sure! Who ever said L.A. doesn't have seasons is DEAD WRONG.
P.S.: I am going to be buying the hell out of this collection!
I think that you've hit the nail on the head there. I find that with both Blooming Lovely and a couple of the peachier colours I have (Costa Chic comes to mind). My skin doesn't change much in the summer, but that little difference does shift my tone just enough that those colours look all sorts of wrong. How lucky that I still have a few months of ghostliness to wear those babies out!
but here's hoping we get some any day now!
