Specktra First Look: Suite Array | Collection Details and Pics
News on the much anticipated Eye Shadow Duos and Pearlglide Eye Liners has arrived! For those of you dying to know the details and peep some swatches, click to read more.
The Eye Shadow Duos…..
According to Makeup Artist Violet at Specktra: “They are absolutely BEAUTIFUL colors with strong color payoff. They come in a little compact that is like the brow shader, and you get more of the lighter color than the darker color”.
Our uber talented BunnyBunnyBunny said: “The finish of the eyeshadows are awesome. Think velvety texture with the flashiness of Black Tied but with more of a particle pearl than a glitter pearl… that actually shows up on your eyes!”
The ah-may-zing Erine provided us with this tidbit on the shadows, as well as all of the photos: “This soft, creamy eye shadow is long-wearing and crease resistant. It features a matte base with high levels of pearlized pigments that deliver an intense frosted finish.”

The Pearlglide Eyeliners…..
Erine: “These are very soft, like power points. they are safe for contact lens wearers, and CANNOT be used on the waterline. Trust me, these things don’t move.”
BunnyBunnyBunny: And the Pearlglides are super creamy and also water resistant. The Pearlglide pencils have an overtly “Glitterly sparkle” to them. It has visible, more obvious glitter particles in it (though not chunky as say, the Softsparkle Pencils’s glitter effect). The base formula to the Pearlglides actually are a bit metallic already, so the final result is a dramatic liner. Not exactly the usual day wear kind of liner. Catches the light and reflects alot more.
Violet: “The pearlglide liners are TO DIE FOR!! They are so beautiful. They are long wearing, water resistant, smudge resistant and have a transparent sparkle. (No chunky glitter!)

I am super intrigued with these liners. I never wear anything on my waterline anyway, so that’s not even a concern of mine but…they’re HOT.

I am on the fence about the duos, but every single one of those liners is mine! Gimme gimme!

I know, I keep coming back to revisit the pictures of the eyeliners! I want all of them, but I’m most excited about Wolf and Rave.
