MAC - Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth Discussion

[KikiB]

In the end I barely got anything from this-just Pink Grapefruit, Electro, Sci-Fi-Delity, and Spaced Out. The blush I got since I don't have a whole ton, and then the lip stuff because they're my kinds of colour. I almost regret not getting at least one of the Solar Bits, I passed due to lack of $$$ and the reviews about the difficulty.

As far as the shadow goes, I have tried three times to press my Amber Lights and Stars 'n Rockets but failed miserably...I am about to call it a day on those and just put them in the little jars. Plus that way I will have 2 B2M empties!

It fades way too quickly for my liking. The Black Ore on the other hand is gorgeous, well worth the back-up!! I got the Scatterays and this so pretty, probably the easist to use as well IMHO, but its the Sunpower that caught my eye. A bit harder to use but ever so pretty, I just love it!!!!

Thats the one I wore Bronzecape and creased like ma through the day.GRRRR So maybe its just not me.

 

[xoxprincessx0x]

Which solar bits besides black ore wuld you say is the most manageable?? I find scatterays the prettiest which panda said was easiest for her so that makes me happy!!

Is there a dupe for the Pink Grapefruit lipglass???? I think I lost mine on a drunken night out.

Its sold out and I don't really feel like trying to swap for it. Lol.

I think Big Kiss plushglass is similar.

LOL, no its not just you

I've tried just about everything you can use for a base and its no go - at least on me anyway. The UDPP which is my "go to" for almost everything was better but not failsafe. Paintpots crease on me anyway so I didnt bother with those. The Bronzescape is the worst of them 4 of them for this problem IMHO, the Scatterays, Sunpower and Black Ore seem to be more resistant, but I've only used Sunpower above the crease, lower lash line and on the inner corner anyway so I couldnt say if it will do the same thing

Definitely Scatterays

It has the smallest grade particle, is the easiest to pick up on the brush and much easier to apply than than the others. Bronzescape goes on pretty well, but it has its own problems, I *almost* regret getting Bronzescape actually, the initial appearance is amazing, but its quite lacklustre in a very short period of time. Sunpower is harder to apply than Black Ore IMHO, the particle is much chunkier and firmer as well - makes applying it a real bitch....! Worth the effort, VERY pretty and I love it myself

[DirtyPlum]

How gorgeous is Spaced out blush... but team it with Missy slimshine and OMG! Love!

 

[minakokanmuri]

i'm sorry if this has been asked already, but is there anything from the perm line that is similar to Evening Aura and Time and Space?

 

[nunu]

I love time and space eyeshadow!! It is such a beautiful colour.
Today i wore time and space on the lid, magnetic feild in outer corner and crease and femme fi was my highlight. I wore spaced out on my cheeks, pleasureseeker lipstick and pink grapefruit lipglass. Loved it!!

The eyeshadows in this collection are the best!!

time & space falls right in the middle of bronze and woodwinked.

there's nothing close to evening aura.

 

[GlamYOURUs]

For those of you having trouble with the solar bits, trying using paintpots of your choice in color AND dabbing some Fix+ right on it and THEN apply your solar bits with a dense brush like the 242 or 239 AND PACK IT ON. Mine stayed on forever without creasing, even in extreme heat. hth!

 

[macaholic2912]

Just have to say i looooove magnetic fields!Bit late but its amazing!

PLZ Help

Ladies is it worth getting X-Rocks even after the Sonic Chic Blushes?? I saw it and loved it but decided not to get it until Sonic Chic is out, now that it’s out and I got the darkest 5 I still can’t forget X-Rocks!! I can’t go to the store to compare, I have to buy it online so what do you think??? I’m NC30 BTW

Take a look here: http://specktra.net/f217/mac-sonic-chic-swatches-jul-08-a-98791/index2.html

post #31 dominichulinda compared one of the sonic chic blushes to x-rocks. the comparison might help you decide whether you want to get it or not.

 

[SMMY]

Not able to compare with the Sonic blushes, but X-rocks is a drop dead gorgeous blush. The texture is much better than most MAC blushes, it's almost creamy and the color payoff is spectacular. I don't have anything quite like it in my blush collection either.

Please, please, please get xrocks. I dont care if they had put diamonds in the mineralized blushes, GET X ROCKS. Mark my words. You will NOT regret it. I just thought it was okay when I got it (because MA's never really put on the makeup how you do, right) when I got home and played with it, I was in shock. I do not use any other blush now. Its not even worth it. X Rocks is *almost* better than sex.

Whew. Sooooooo Miss Liya: Get it!

lol Or I will hunt you down!

 

[TwistedFaith]

Co-signing SMMY & CantAffordMac! X-Rocks is the bizness!

 

[CantAffordMAC]

....I feel like going to put on more. because when i wear it, it makes me happy
