by candlelight looks amazing!!! OMG!!!

winnie don't worry to much about being put to sleep. i've been sent to sleep before and it was fine. my mum was the one who was panicked because i didn't close my eyes so it looked like i was dead! so when they say close your eyes make sure that you do!

^^ Winnie, don't worry and don't imagine too much. I've gone through an endoscopy before. I was under sedention. It was a gastroscopy and I was not under GA. I was wide awake and very aware of what was happening. It was not scary but I felt strong urge to vomit as the scope went in, but I had not eaten for more than 24 hrs so there was nothing to vomit.

However, I heard an elderly man asleep and snoring while undergoing the scope. It must be relaxing for him.

For a separate procedure, I was under GA and vomited for the next 24hrs after I woke up. GA does weird things to my mind too.

More red lips and neutral eyes I hope to get christmas money and gift cards for this collection and Love Lace. Then I could save for Disney

Thanks for putting this down, it's like a wakeup call to me. Pleasant one though. I got to save for Disney too because I love it when I can buy anything I want from a collection without having to think of my budget. Disney belongs to that kind of collection!

about By Candlelight.

You must've given your mum a bad fright.

I'll remember to close my eyes.

Strangely by candlelight is kinda reminding me of glissade at the moment

Yeah I have a very bad gag reflex too. But I'll be starving for at least 12 hours beforehand, so hopefully it won't be too bad... What's that about the Disney collection? I've not heard of it before!

glitter factor- negative! These MSFs are nice and smooth (unlike the BBR chunkfests)

I hope these pics aren't too big, if I need to resize them let me know

Comfort:

Centre: Comfort
Clockwise from top right: Global Glow, Shooting Star, So Ceylon, Sunny By Nature, Warm Blend

Comparison swatches

Bottom-Top: Comfort, Global Glow, Shooting Star, So Ceylon, Sunny by Nature, Warm Blend (mid brown shade), Gold Deposit.

Comfort is dark! and orangey! Will have to wear it in my face tomorrow to see how I like it.

By Candlelight:

Centre: By Candlelight
Clockwise from top right: Smooth Merge, Northern Light, Blonde, Porcelain Pink, Pleasureflush.

Pink Comparisons
Bottom-Top: By Candlelight, Smooth Merge (light pink side), Northern Light, Blonde, Porcelain Pink, Pleasureflush, Light Flush

Centre: By Candlelight
Clockwise from top right: Cheeky Bronze, Glissade, Refined, Triple Fusion.

Peach Comparisons
Bottom- Top: By Candlelight, Cheeky Bronze, Glissade, Refined, Triple Fusion (light pink side)

So By Candlelight doesn't have any veining and is peachy pink with gold shimmer I guess! The lighting here isn't the best at the moment, so I'll have a closer look in the daylight tomorrow.

Best wishes to you Winnie, good luck!

you! Thanks for doing all the swatches!
So it looks like Comfort is out, too dark. By Candlelight looks nice

 

[latinalovesmac]

iheartmakeup you are a rockstar. Thank you so much for those pictures and swatches. Susanne, your hair looks lovely. The color really compliments you. Winnie, I am new to Specktra, but you are in my thoughts. I hope everything goes well.

 

[Sophia84]

I wonder if it's darker or not from Sunny By Nature. I use SBN as a bronzer but I have to be careful sometimes ( I''m a NC25). Comfort looks like it has a very smooth texture like Refind and SBN.

Oooh strangely I can't think of any disney villians! I can only think of the princesses.

 

[GlamQueen21]

The swatches of both Comfort and By Candlelight are gorgeous!!! Those are the first two that I'm going to place an order first!

 

[monter]

I'm torn about By Candlelight - it looks similar to Porcelain Pink in the swatches, which is one that I rarely reach for (I much prefer Blonde or Petticoat)... hm.

Comfort is definitely out for me, too dark.

I'm excited to see swatches of the shadesticks!

And Winnie - positive vibes your way. My mom had a similar scare a few years ago and had he same procedures - everything worked out fine for her.

I hope it does for you too!

 

[breezybabe89]

Well those pics definitely confirm that I'm getting By Candlelight!
