Erine so sorry to bother you again, but...what would you recommend for NC30/35 as far as the skin finishes go? I'm getting the 159 for sure

Do I need the 159 if I already have the 131? Also, does anyone have any feedback on the 287?
I love the 287, especially for concealer. I bought two. Although I haven't really reached for them since I got the Shiseido foundation brush.

I'm really excited about this collection, but not about the prices. So far, I'm leaning toward:

Sweet Samba (maybe)
Exotic Ember
Orpheus eye kohl
Rio (maybe)
159

Midnight Mambo looks pretty but $22, Mac?

Without swatches, i'm just not excited.

My fer sher, fer sher list is:
159 brush (i have the 188 & 287)

Anything else is maybe.

Midnight Mambo
seems to look a lot like Heroine, Violetta, etc. which i have, but i do love the formula...

Narcissus lipglass
maybe, but it seems too similar to others i have

Have to Have It lip pencil
i'd rather have What Comes Naturally, also from the Tour de Fabulous collection. I have Heroine and Hip 'n' Happy.

Lust Skinfinish duo ... maybe, but could be too bright for me

Eyeshadows - have to see swatches or test, but thinking about:
-- Tropica — Silver blue with purple pearlized pigments (even tho' it let me down by not being a lip pencil)
-- Time to Tango — Lavender with silver pearlized pigments
-- Dare to Bare — Light cream with gold pearlized pigments
-- Caribbean — Rose with pink and red pearlized pigments

If i found a Sweet Samba that was mostly tan, i might be interested...

Based on US prices...


Mineralize lipsticks, at $22 ea., have more lipstick by weight than the regular ones, 0.14 oz.

The regular lipsticks are $15 for 0.1 oz.

0.14 oz. of regular lipstick would cost $21.

Thus the Mineralize lipsticks are actually only $1 more expensive.

This makes perfect sense yet my brain says $22 for MAC....NEXT lol

I don't know if it's that I'm overtired or if it's your to-the-point answers with exclamation points or what, erine, but I hear your replies in my head sounding kind of like the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter. The one they put on kids when they first arrive at the school and it shouts what house they belong to. "Gryffindor!" "Hufflepuff!"

You're specktra's own personal Sorting Hat, except you sort out which products are best for us!
