if it's anything like the previous summer collections, it's probably orange with gold pearls instead of cream orange. personally, i think that's quite tropical and "beachy". plus, we know 2 of the lipglasses are pink grapefruit and soft&slow and yet none of the pictures look like them, so maybe the color of the packaging is off too

Packaging IS really important - I wouldn't even have bought half of the Benefit products I have if they weren't presented the way they are. Once I bought an Urban Decay foundation just because they changed the packaging from a totally boring container to a purple genie lamp. Sure, the foundation ended up being a great product, but they couldn't even get me to try it when it was just a plain bottle. I would definitely buy any of these MAC colors if I liked the product inside, even though I hate the orange packaging, but the problem is, as many people have said - the orange just makes it impossible to really tell what the color inside is! This will be one I need to swatch, but I wonder how many people are even going to try it at the counter after the tricks the combination plays on the eyes (I'm sure us obsessed Specktra visitors make up only a small portion of MAC's entire clientele).

I have a yellow nail polish that OPI came out with a few years back - it's REALLY difficult to wear. I always feel like I have diseased fingers and toes when I wear it! (I have NC15 skin) The picture of the MAC yellow looks very similar. The blue though, I must have...I love blue more than any other nail polish color, and I don't have a shade like this one yet.

Yes, but that is also how these threads on upcoming collections tend to go. Us all babbling about how we feel about the collection.

I believe that's gonna be packaging color (orange, blue and yellow) as we have three parts. I don't think anyone read my post lol but those are MAC bags that go with this collection.

Pink grapefruit is the first lipglass here:

The lip products are pretty neutral, it surprised me. Other than Electro, that bright orange one, they're all quite brown or beige based it looks like. With inspiration drawn from Sci-Fi, I was expected some very bright, bordering-on-garish colors, and I was very excited for that. Maybe the eyeshadows will make up for the lack of ...fiction in the lip products. The colors (other than Electro, that is) all look like they could be found in nature easily. Lovely colors, just doesn't seem to fit with the name to me.

As for the packaging, orange is my favorite color, so no matter how much it clashes with the color of the products, I'm going to love it.


The Volcanic Ash scrub sounds interesting. I've never used any MAC skincare, but from what I understand the quality is generally pretty good.

So true.I do like the packaging(a pearly or paler orange would have been better)but I still like it anyway.I like all the different packaging MAC does-it's fun.

i have been thinking about it and i think the packaging would look better as orange with yellow on, or yellow with orange instead of orange and black. orange and black makes me immediately think of halloween, whereas yellow and orange is more of a summery mix. it's not very sci-fish though?! as in.. the whole collection makes me think summer not star wars.

What do you guys think about blue and yellow packaging for Solar field and future earth?

The soft bags look great together - so why shouldn't orange, yellow and blue packaging? I would like to get those packaging in the other two parts of the collection.

i do think that the orange is gonna be different in person. i think it'll be brighter.
