I leave to keep an eye on another group of electricians, and find this .. lol. My age makes me short tempered too.. and I can be very snarky but try not to. It's an exercise in constraint for me sometimes. Like penance.. lol. I too dislike drama and people who just want info without giving anything back... ever. I think I contribute as much as I "legally" can. I have had this collection for years now.. and all that stood out to me were the blushes. Why? they are a thing of the future. The matte white based lipsticks are cool now, but won't be a classic ever.. EVER. This launch like all MAC launches brings out the worst in people.. and that is one of the reasons I sometimes leave. I often get asked for samples.. can I tell people what's what. NO, I Cannot, No I will not. I have given.. nevere sold anything to some ladies here who have wit, honour, and can give me feedback on some things which I don't keep track of because I work behind computers, desks and on airplanes. I don't have time to browse counters and sometimes ask for help via opinions. I too dislike the "guests" because they don't contribute to anything. Just take our information which we all work hard at obtaining and don't even respond except for some insults. so yes.. these things make Specktra a place of fun, but also some aggravation. We do not have an "obligation" to teach anyone.. we can only contribute to help. This is what life is about.. we ask, we get.. but we cannot obligate anyone. end of rant.
