And if the packaging was hideous, no, I wouldn't buy it, because I can find something I do like in pretty packaging somewhere else. That's only if the packaging is hideous (which I do feel orange is lol).

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth
I'm really not feeling this collection so far. A lot of the colours seem pretty, but too fall-ish. Burned red? Copper? Doesn't seem like the most summer-y of colours. The blue nail polish looks nice, but kind of flat and I think the blue one from Naughty Nauticals looks nicer. The yellow one is definitely gross. I'm not so sure about the orange packaging either. Something more neutral like gold or bronze would be better...I guess they've already done that, but who cares? I think it would be fine to go back to something done a few years back. Really, they should have had special packaging for Naughty Nauticals instead. They could have done navy or sea blue packaging with cute nauticals pictures on them!

i know its an opinion but i dont wanna hear the same thing 100s of times.. yes you either love it or you hate it but its funny how peoples opinions change once they purchase the products (ive noticed this with heatherette)

That's true! I really don't think I'll love the orange packaging, but it might not be so bad and I really do care more about what's in the package anyway. Pleasureseeker and sunsonic look like colours I might like and possibly some of the lipglasses (hard to tell without swatches and/or seeing them in person) and I will buy them if I like them, no matter the packaging! Oh and that lip exfoliater/conditioner will be mine!

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth
how come they keep re-releasing charged water (the diamond one) with collections? I dont think its anything special.. it doesnt do anything for my skin at all , ive tried it as a toner, a fix+ and it doesnt do anything so whats so special about it?

I think the packaging is pretty sweet, but I guess that's neither here nor there really it's the colours of the products I'm more bothered about. Have to say so far nothing really jumps out at me like I MUST own that. Good for my bank balance I guess!
Pleasureseeker and Sci-Fu-Delity lipsticks look like they could be stunning, Pink Grapefruit looks a bit special and Naked Space looks alright.
Neon 8 and Plasma Blu nail lacquers could be awesome for Summer aswell.
I'm going to have to see it in the flesh rather than just in pictures and see how everything actually looks on me. I look forward to seeing the eyeshadows aswell.

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

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

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.

I can't remember a collection that wasn't complained about whether it was Lure, Fafi (although that ended up being justified because of those damn stickers), Heatherette, Moonbathe, so on and so on. Most of the time people come around when they actually see the products in the store. |

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