I think you can Cool Heat compare to C Shock a little bit. I bought Big T and Wondergrass last year and we will get blue-greens this year again

wondergrass is exactly the same as UD's deluxe graffiti e/s (i have both and graffiti is much much nicer!)

SMMY - I was wondering too if they were a better version of Metal-x or something along those lines. I love the black one - & if I remember right it kinda looks like thats what the model may be wearing around her eyes in the promo pic

We have the first days with sunshine here and I am wearing bronzing powder Refined Golden. Love that color! Summer can begin

Susanne, would Refined Golden work for NW15? And how and where do you wear it? In the summer, my face stays stark white because I am anal about sunscreen, but the rest of me tans. I'd love to be able to even myself out, but I can never get bronzer to look right on me. I think I am using it wrong

I think you are right about the promo picture. If I get any of these, it will probably be the black one. Looks as though she may have one of the colors patted on her lips too. They are awefully metallic looking.

Yes, I think it would work on you. It is not so intense if you apply it once with a big brush.
I wear it on my nose, on my chin and on my temples - these are the parts of your face where the sun touches you at first. I also wear a blush on my cheeks that it doesn't look unnatural.

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

Are there any pics of the bronzing powders when the packaging is closed?

Agree with this....Graffiti is much easier to work with, too, as well as being more pigmented.

Audrey, I have NW15 - jellyfish skin

I love Refined Golden - just use it with a light touch. Its THE ONLY bronzer that I can use. It looks natural on too. Sometimes thats all I'll throw on - no other makeup.

Susanne is exactly right.

I don't have wondergrass, but i do have UD Graffiti! it's a pretty color and it's really pigmented. I see that brand either at Sephora or Ulta. I believe it's $18 for it, but it's much bigger than a MAC e/s

And don't worry if you see Refined Golden for the first time (that was my first thought) - it has golden sparkles at first sight in the packaging - but there won't be any glittering or sparkling on your skin. It just looks lovely on your skin and not "too much".

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

That's really good to hear about Graffiti, because I have it and if there's an LE MAC that is the same thing...well I just saved $15.25 (cost plus tax).

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

I am SO wicked excited about this launch! The orange packaging has me drooling. I had DREAMS about it last night.

I'm a one-year newbie to MAC now and I've spent a small mint gathering my collection of past launches and one day the BF was looking at my stuff and saw the Stylistics, Lure, Moonbathe, Barbie, Heatherette, Fafi, etc., etc., etc. and says, "How many damn different designs and colors ARE there?"

(referring to the packaging) to which I laughed and said "Who knows! I guess we'll have to find out!"

This orange is going to look so sharp with everything else. Personally, I LOVE that it's not all plain black packaging!

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

I have a backup of Refined Golden, but darn i'm going to have to get another just to have it in the orange clam...brother

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

I never use bronzer, but I'm tempted to buy one from the collection, just for the packaging so I can swap it out for powder because while I love the simplicity of the black, a little color spices up my makeup bag!

LOL - The same here! I still have a bit from the regular Refined Golden and the one from the Sunstrip collection last year.
But I do need one Refined Golden in that hot orange packaging!

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

I always use Golden bronzer. Does anyone know what the difference is between Refined Golden and Golden Bronzer?
