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

[jd-jd]

Not really wanting to be an enabler here (Lord knows I am trying to keep to a budget) but X-Rocks was the best blush I've bought in a long while.

I really liked the Neo Sci-Fi (but I am a sci fi nut, though I draw the line at conventions!) and I liked Cool Heat even more.

I hate to tell you this but you would love it. I know I do!! And I was really surprised. Love your pic by the way

i loved loved and still love the neosci fi collection, i got all the eyeshadows, spaced out blush, and a l/s and one l/g. so now i've been keeping up with this thread, and i finally got pushed over the edge, and threw in X rocks blush with my online order for coc lippies, from everything ive seen i think it will be great in the fall/winter for me and go well with the coc eye/lip looks

sooo, yAy!

I love sheertone shimmer blushes also. They are sooooo perfect. I am an NC20 and I was using x-rocks the wrong way. I used it today without overloading the blush like I would for something like Well Dressed and it came out perfect. It really does do wonders with it's unique color. I am also a huge fan of dollymix and peachykeen. Looking forward to owning Flirt and Tease one day soon! Do you suggest it?

I have all of the Solar bits, they are hard to work with and take time so if you are in a rush find something easier til you get used to the application.



I take from the lid, never dip in the pot, it will be too much on your brush.

I use Paint Pots (use your preference of base) for my base, then take a stiffer brush and mash them with the tip breaking it up to where there are no big particles. Then I pat the brush lightly securing the pigment to the paint and keep repeating until I get the desired effect. The unevenness should be taken care of by properly placing it down before trying to blend it, then you won't have as much fallout, you are bound to have some though but not a disco ball affect.

My favs are Springsheen and Sunbasque!

Flirt & Tease and Dollymix are on the top of my list as well!

i loved the shadows in this collection. i ended up with all five.

femme fi is one of my absolute favorites. it's warm enough to bring out my blue-grey eyes and i can wear it as a wash to offset some of the deep-setness. but it's not too warm.

time and space is a good neutral too.

not yet sure about evening aura, though. i was hoping for more peach and it looks more yellow on me? i think it works well with expensive pink, though.

i also have soft and slow which is a great daytime shade for me.

Hope I like Xrocks, I really wish I'd been into mac earlier so I could have al the shadows, my first ever MAC shadows were from this collection and amazing! I wish I had the others now but I'm glad I have what I do! :-D

I just bought Xrocks on Friday. The MAC store here in San Diego actually still has some. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks beautiful.

I went to one of the MAC stores here (for the first time) after work today and found out they still have some of the stuffs from this collection. I got myself a X-rocks. It's a gorgeous colour.

Douglas online had it too a while ago (or even still?) and I bought it too.
