You look good!! Petticoat doesn't show up on me either. When it does, it magnifies my pores like the surface of Mars!

BTW, I decided to pack more of Surreal with my finger and gosh, how pretty is this colour?

 

[MrsMay]

^^ Thanks hun!

Yeah, I'm always iffy about MSF's as they enlarge my pores, but I'm getting used to them...

I dont actually have surreal yet... wasnt that dc'd recently?

 

[sambibabe]

^^ I think so.. I accidentally got another Freshwater, so yesterday I swapped it with Surreal, which was the last one they had. I think it is similar to Steamy though?

I still can't wear Petticoat alone like you did! Somehow I don't have problem with Soft and Gentle - go figure!

 

[billy_cakes]

Petticot brings out all the wrong shades in my skin

Hey do any of you adelaide girls know where I can get make up forever HD in adelaide? probably a silly question but I havn't actually tried any of their products yet and I really want to try the foundation. Also how much is it in AUS?

 

[sambibabe]

Petticoat is weird.. It doesn't function as a blush and I prefer S&G for the highlight, so I don't know.
MrsMay posted an info about MUFE stockist a few pages back.. Check out www.mediamakeup.com.au

 

[sambibabe]

Yay, the site is back up! Is it just me- I don't see much difference with the new look Specktra?

OMG, I don't even want to get started on how frustrating I find the new site - soooo many things broken - half the time I can't even seem to reply to posts it just asks me to login again (It took me giving it a good hour break and restarting my computer to even be able to reply to this - despite closing browser, clearing cache, clearing cookies, and who knows what else I tried.. Smells like some sort of PHP caching issue to me - but I may be wrong). Also, the page buttons down the bottom have all whacked out spacing, and worse the width of the site now seems to be fixed rather than actually caring how big my browser window is (really frustrating for someone with a big/wide screen) - the list of issues I've seen goes on and on - I honestly can't believe given all of the dramas that they didn't just roll it back and test it more before trying again. Soooooooo frustrated with Specktra right now. I'm honestly contemplating giving it up for a coupla weeks/months till they figure it all out and fix it up, cos it's just going to get annoyed if I try and persevere with it.

Gah .. enough venting.

Anyways - a boring/subtle goldy look for me today:

Face
MAC Select SPF NW15
MAC Mineralized Blush - Warm Soul

Eyes
MAC Eyeshadow - Goldmine on lid
MAC Eyeshadow - Woodwinked in crease
MAC Eyeshadow - Satin Taupe in outer crease
MAC Eyeshadow - Phloof! on highlight
MAC Fluidline - Blacktrack
CG VolumeExact

Lips
MAC Prep & Prime Lips
MAC Lip Pencil - Soar
MAC Lipstick - Lightly Ripe

 

[simplyenchantin]

That doesn't sound boring jrm! I like gold looks but I don't know how to make them work on me haha. I totally feel your issues with the site. Half my reply posts aren't spaced properly, and I keep "receiving" the same private message over and over but then when I go back to my inbox, it's gone! Spo0o0oky haha. Nah, it's just buggy. They probably should've done more testing first.

I dont have any of these issues (apart from the width which doesnt bother me)... weird

the biggest issue I had was trying to find the User CP button

Although the "Today's Posts" button wasnt working for a while (havent checked if its working yet) I figure I will just be patient and it will all be fixed eventually

 

[sambibabe]

I was expecting a new look with different colours and layouts!

Last week, I typed the same post three times! One time I didn't have the privilege and two times it was down for the updated site! I am not so annoyed at the wide page button underneath (but I can see why jrm is annoyed, because she feels like just fixing it herself lol), but I have no user CP button or Chat Menu up the top! It is also annoying that I get all the subscribed email alerts for other threads, but not the Aussie ones somehow!
