Meh, the packaging is such a gimmick for this collection, probably to try and sell it, is anyone else thinking that the packaging is trying to make up for sub-par colors? It would probably sell more if it wasn't orange, tbh.

Yeah...that's why I like the polishes so much. No gimmicky packaging...the colors are just pure attraction.

I can't believe that they did ORANGE packaging! Yuck! I am sorry but these do not appeal to me at all! I am praying that they eye shadows are something so spectacular that I forget about the orange! Ewwwwwww........

Man, I don't like re-promotes...at least I'll save some money there. I'm extremely curious about the Volcanic Ash Exfoliator, though.

Me too. I'm an exfoliater junky. I wonder how finely grained it is?

I think after the last bright collections (Like Fafi and Heatherette) MAC is probably taking a step in a direction geared toward ladies who like more toned down and neutral colors. People that probably aren't used to color as much, but are looking for shimmer in the summer, because this is more for the warm ladies, but way more for the summer than N collection was.

Now that would be amazing! If they were to do purple packaging, I'd definitely be all over it! I'm actually quite relieved, between this and Naughty Nauticals, I think I'll be getting 3-4 items at most.

Picky? Not at all. If they want my money, it better be worth it.

Orange reminds me of fall, not summer. And it's not a colour I like either way. This looks gross to me... At least I'll save money.

I think we're rather spoiled...besides, almost everyone changes their opinion once they see the collection in person. These promo pics never do the real deal any justice.

Yea, thats it........SPOILED. LOL. I actually love the packaging more than the actual colors. I am not going by these pics either (although they do help, thanks Shimmer). I made the mistake of almost not buying anything from Heatherette and buying too much from Fafi for that reason.

We shall see. Who knows, it might be one of those collections that are very pretty in person.

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth

This is only part of the collection too, right? According to the first look there's more to come. I hope I like none of if though, I can't afford it with Naught Nauticals taking all my money...

Me too! But I'm not so sure about the Naughty Nauticals. I think its perfect for those who love blues, though. They should have a purple collection. I would have died and gone straight to heaven.

But anyway, I hope there's more. I kinda wish that this collection had a quad with really nice colors, like the olden days.

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth

I am also joining the bandwagon of those hoping for great eyeshadows, specifically great SINGLE eyeshadows. I will actually get quite a bit of this, orange is one of my favourite colours and I do like the packaging. I also wear a kinda orangey lipstick quite often and tend to gravitate towards those, so I could be getting quite a bit from this. Hopefully not because Naughty Nauticals is going to absolutely DRAIN me.

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth

Awesome packaging aside (yes, I adore orange), I only see one lipstick I like, so far. Although, who can tell from promo pictures - my first impressions never match the actual product, I wasn't going to touch Fafi, and I bought two lipsticks and both quads, so it just goes to show. Oh, and I will be getting Pink Grapefruit - I've always wanted it. Other than that, though...

I am hoping for great eyeshadow singles, too. Like a really nice summery green, in a veluxe pearl formula. And maybe a true gold - no lustres, though.

There should be eyeshadows, blushes - and hopefully bronzers? A bronzer in that orange packaging would look great, I think.

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth

That orange... is really gross... but I really want to take that applicator and put it on my Sock Hop Lipglass from Heatherette! THAT would be cute, says I!

I'm pretty disappointed with this packaging from those promo images. I really hope that they eiether look amazing in person, or the eyeshadows makeup for the strange packaging. All the other years, the summer collections' special packaging felt right, and like a tradition, but this orange feels forced to me. Like, desperate. =/ I really hope I love in person, I really really do.

Edit:
I agree, that yellow nail polish is really gross.

And while looking at the pictures a little longer, I have to admit, I love how the orange lipstick looks with the packaging. But I guess that's just me. I love how Melrose Mood looks in the Heatherette packaging. And I like the orange. But the other colors, look sorta gross. This collection is gonna be a REALLY hard one to sell to anyone, I think. Young girls don't really like orange, and older women don't want to pull out a funky pumpkin orange compact or lipstick.

Why couldn't MAC go with a creamy orange? Or a Paradisco orange?
