She said she could only put it on hold for a couple hours, not until today, but assured me there would be enough in stock. Well guess what, I just came back from the mall- AND THEY WERE SOLD OUT . I thought you could keep things on hold for 24hrs???? And the MA I spoke to today told me that was their 2nd shipment and that they weren't getting anymore. Now I'm here (like a psychotic addict) waiting for the MAC site to bring them back in stock!

technically we aren't allowed to hold any LE product for any time, so if a location does hold it, its at their discretion for how long they hold it.

I wish I like the mask more than I do because I really like the heating sensation it gives but I have to say it has broke me out slightly around my T zone area and I've actually noticed more blackheads appearing the day after I used it and I usually have little of those problems. I'm not sure if it creates more blackheads per se....maybe it has just allowed the impurities to surface at a faster pace. Hopefully this is the case and that it'll clear out my skin eventually. I'm trying to give it the benefit of the doubt. But as with any skincare product or any product for that matter, what works for me might not work for you and vice versa, you really have to test it out yourself to know which works better for yourself.

products that remove inpurities (such as masks) will bring things to the surface faster than if you hadn't used them. so in a way they do cause more breakouts, but only because they're bringing them up to remove them, not because they're actually causing them.

if you're seeing less breakouts since using the mask, then your original breakouts weren't hormonal. if they were hormonal, they'd continue to appear because a skincare product wouldn't effect your hormones.

Its so much better when used wet, its one of those colors that i think can stand on their own in a smokey eye with black liner and mascara.

I have worn GBA several times since I bought it last Thursday.

I have to make myself go to other eyeshadows in my collection. I love how it looks with black eye liner and mascara. I also love it over the black GPS and Bat Black. GBA might be back up worthy for me. I never by back ups

Congratulations Tish

. I hope that this job will be everything you are looking for but I also hope that it doesn't take you away from Specktra, it's not going to be the same without you.

I can't wait to get my hands on Style Black..

Lou, when should it launch in the UK? This week?? I see the Pro store in London already launched it.

 

[cherry24]

Yesterday I picked up

VAE
VATM
Young punk
Black GSP
I also got Feline and Nude from dsquared.

I love everything! tried out the mask and exfoliator last night and they are lovely. The exfoliator is not as harsh as I thought is would be and I love the warming mask and that you can reactivate it with more water.

Very tempted by GBA. Definitely need to have another look as I didn't get a proper look at the glimmerglasses or nail polish.......

I picked up my stuff in Singapore this afternoon. mmm, Style Black has turned out to be one of my fav collections this year.

That being said, there wasn't any sign of VAE or VATM showing up, so some people might be in for disappointment, but I know that VAE sat on the shelf for a very long time here the first time around so it doesn't surprise me if it doesn't show up.

And, I picked up Blackware! Who knew I'd have any interest in a black lipgloss? It just darkens my pigmented lips to a slightly edgy plum shade

 

[rozowytiul]

Yesterday SB showed in Poland, but the prices are so f***ing high (MES-30$) taht I was able to buy only 3 thing - Yong Punk, Blue Flame and Black Greasepaintstick. And I wish that I can live in US or UK.

P.S. That's my 1 post on Specktra

 

[wizzer3245]

Why is it not on the siteeeee yet

 

[Babaloula]

^ Hi, I know what you mean. I am sat here (when I should be reading for Uni starting next week) constantly pressing refresh on the site and coming back to check up on the posts on here!!

By the way this is my first post on here too. Hello everyone

 

[Aphrael]

One of my friends from another forum called up MAC UK and asked when Style Black would be on the website. She said that the answer that she was given was that Style Black won't be on the site until next Thursday. There wasn't a reason given but my friend speculated that MAC may not have had enough time to put up all the collections at the same time...

So I'd call in to order if I were you, girls!
