BBR is coool... from what I can remember there were some great neutrals in there and I loved last years N Collection and feel this is one up from it... so it will give colours that can be used to build on the N (nude, naked, natural) looks.
It has some good'uns like Femmi Fi eyeshadow and the red msf is pretty, didnt think too much of the brunette msf as it was quite red.

Hi everyone! I just noticed this post in the forums and I'm really excited. When I have more time I want to read everyone's favorites and post my own as well.
I'm a Guju. Believe it or not, I'm pretty light, an NC25. Not trying to be lighter, I just have pretty light skin. My mom is lighter than me and she's 100% Guju too! So is my dad. I don't why we have such light skin. Anyway, my fav foundations are Studio Tech and SFF. Of course I'm a MAC addict and I'm really interested to hear what you all are getting from Brunette, Blonde, Redhead. I know I definitely want Henna e/s.
I couldn't read every entry on this thread, but from what I read, it seems like I could learn alot!

I loved the N collecion too!
I'm skipping the eyeshadows because i feel that they are dupeable. I might get 100 strokes though i just have to check it out in person. If it is really similar to sketch then i will be skipping it.
So far from swatches i am loving all lipsticks except for chingon (i don't like purples on me) and all lipglasses except for peroxide and quicktease (comparable to Jampacked). I can't wait to see this collection in person.
The MSF's look great, i am loving the redhead one. The blonde reminds me of petticoat which i have. I'm not too sure about the brunetter one.

ok, specktra has been weird for me since the change
I just had to post, to see the new posts after cocolicious's.
Nars - Deep Throat is lush and portofino multiple...
If ur nc42 in SFF then go for same in SF. Its the same product, diff texture.
C40 is more yellow based than NC40.

Hey guys!(8) long time no see, specktra wouldnt work for me....(8) lol
ok so lets get one thing straight...Brunette MSF is Fricking amazing and every WOC should at least try it in the store, I am so glad I did! I've ranted about how overrated and dissapointing MSF's have been for me so...lol you can use the differnt strips depending on how light your skin is...I'm NC 43 so I use em all!
Recently got tempting and shadowy lady quad from CoC
the Mac Counter in Metrotown had a couple left... and the free standing store had Neo sci-fi l/s and l/g..im thinkn about getting Pink Grapefruit and Supreme...
I also had a chance to try out the HiP color truth eyeliners OMG i love them!! they have a more creamy finish then fluidline and they are amazing for the waterline...they last, dont mess up my contacts as much, and are cheaper!

I love dark blushes! I'm NC43 and I think because my skin's dry a lot of light powder blushes don't show up on me, especially MAC ones. Breezy is one of my all time favourite blushes now, I use it pretty much every day!
Pair it with Plumful l/s (if it suits you, it doesn't work on me) or Pleasing slimshine (which I LOVE) - it is such a pretty combination! Kinda Desi Rose as opposed to English Rose!
I also really rate Shu Uemura's Glow On Pearl Red 19D - it is a gorgeous watermelon red shot with gold, and reminds me of wedding saris...

Hi there ladies! I haven't been on Specktra for a while and forgot about this amazing thread!
Right now I've gone completely off eyeshadows, but am really into nude eye base, dark coloured liners + coloured lips. Here's a pic of my typical look at the mo, it's pretty simple but that's what I'm into right now...
I'm really loving my Bobbi Brown gel liners in Ivy and Violet (I'm wearing Ivy in the photo), which look amazing on brown eyes. I want to try out Chocolate Shimmer and Black Mauve Shimmer, does anyone have these? Should I get them?
I was also wondering about MAC MSFs - do you ladies rate them? My skintone's quite even, so could I use them instead of foundation (which I hardly ever wear)?
Anyone with pigmented lips like me, looking for the perfect natural lip gloss? If so - check out NARS Metis - I bought this yesterday and OMG it is perfect!!! I have literally been searching years for this shade! It is truly amazing. Maybe I'll post separately about it as it really is an HG discovery for me! (I also got Rose Birman at the same time, which is really pretty too).

Hey my beautiful ladies,
Hope everyone is doing well! So my bday is on the 24th, Sat and naturally im getting wasted, lol jk just getting a few drinks with some friends.
Ok so, i usually wear coral/pinky blushes like Pinch Me, Gingerly, Melba etc. I really want to get another blush away from this family to wear for my bday. Like a pretty plumy color, but nothing over powering. I have X-Rocks, which I love but it is shimmery, so I want something for the day. I was looking at Plum Foolery or something like that. What do u guys thinks? Other Suggestions Please?
TIA!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
From what I remember, XR is similar to PF... colour wise and the fact that its shimmery too. If you have a pro near you, then defo check out Dirty Plum blusher
its matte, but you can add a msf for shimmer?
Otherwise check out Breath of Plum (which could look pinky) and Breezy, I dunno has a red undertone so not sure what you will think of that...
I dont really like the silver veining that Flirt n Tease...
What will ur look be?
