Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth
i read some comments on this before, but ive just gotta ask bc it wasnt exactly like this. xrocks. nc35 with really asian undertones. is it too dark for me? i know there were maybe one or two people saying they loved it and they were nw or nc 25-40.. but im wondering if my yellow/asianness will make it look odd on me since it looks so.. red/plum?

I'm Chinese and NC25 and just tried on Xrocks yesterday because I was wondering the same thing... honestly, it didn't do that much for me, because I had to swipe it reeaaally lightly to not overdo the color, and then I never captured the shimmer. I could see it looking good on NC35+ though, since the plums are supposed to turn rosier on darker skintones. I already have Flirt&Tease and rarely touch it (for the same reason too easy to go OTT) so I skipped it even though it looks sooo pretty.
Someone here described it as a pretty bruise and I think that describes Xrocks perfectly.

Nope. I am NC35 and I thought it would show up as a plumy color but it didn't.
I can't even describe the color to you. It was way off on my skin. Not the color in the pot and the shimmer is gone by the time it was blended on the cheeks. I think it will look nice on lighter-medium tones.

Ok so now that I've had a chance to try out all the products, here are some last minute highlights...
evening aura is amazing! so light and beautiful, none like it. order backups, it rocks!
spaced out is pretty but can be orangey, just use sparingly and it looks nice and natural.
pink grapefruit was not on my list initially but i really like its coral undertones!
solar riche bronzing powder is amazing, i have used refined golden in the past but found it a little too dark on my nw20 skin so i used golden for a while and liked that but solar riche is really light, doesn't get blotchy and fake. love it!

I'm yellow NC25 Asian and I love X-Rocks. I swirl my 129 in it lightly and it comes out lovely. I've been wearing it almost everyday since I got it!

hey guys, i know black ore is pretty much sold out everywhere, but i tracked down a mac store about an hr and half away that has one left. they said they would on to one for me if i wanted it. is black ore really worth it? i know some love it and some hate it but im still indifferent about it! is it a good add in to my mac collection or do you think its worth skipping? the color is really pretty i remember trying it on but i dont know if its completely worth it?

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth
I'm a bit late as always in these colour collection discussion, because MAC releases everything weeks later here in Europe than in US, but...
I'm going to get my Neo-scifi stuff tomorrow when I travel to my hometown! I'm exited! I guess that I will fall in love with all the products which I ordered. Neo-scifi was released here in June 1st. I ordered 4 eye shadows (Evening aura, Expensive pink, Femme-fi and Magnetic fields) and Pleasureseeker lipstick. I'm going to depot all four shadows and make a nice Neo-scifi collection palette of them. I can imagine how cute it will be! Just one night and I finally going to get them!

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth
Yes!! I couldnt believe it! And there was a lot (although Black Ore had the least amount)
My hand was so glittery I finally got to play with all the colours without anyone bothering me heheh
Didnt pick any up; I have Black Ore as a tester and never got around to using it
They even had Rubenesque and Indianwood P/P
I dont know whats up with this CCO usually it sucks but today was like winning the lottery
