I have a Vegas trip to save up for and books for summer school. And this means NO MAKEOVER! I know, I know, will be a sad day for me

Come on girl! Don't you have anything to depot so you can atleast B2M for a Lipstick?!?!? I think this collection (like every other) would look awesome on you!

Girl you know I do! lol I have 6 saved up already

But I don't know what lippie to get. I kinda want Party Mate but I have way too many pinks. So I think I will save either for the orange lipstick (if I like it) OR a Slimshine in Cool Heat

Now that is the collection that I am getting everything from!

I am NW15 too, so I won't be getting much either. I have empties for both of the l/s I want so that will save me $28 and I saved half of my giftcard I got for Mother's Day to cover the rest of what I want. I am really going to think long and hard before I buy what's on my list. I am secretly hoping that I don't like the eyeshadows (since I didn't see them yet)

I was REALLY surprised by the mauve blush. I *may* pass on the peach on and get that one instead. It wasn't as warm as I thought it would be. Of all of the prodcuts I saw today, I am most excited about the blushes. The feel awesome!

I must save for Cool Heat too... that one is going to KILL me!

I was disappointed that I didn't get to see the orange lipstick today

I probably wouldn't want it, but I am axious to see it! There are some great slimshines coming with Cool Heat though too! I know I want 1-2 of those. I'd go for whatever you think is most unique. Everything looks great on you so you don't have to worry about that!

AudreyNicole, didn't you hate last year's moonbath packaging too? you hater! (jk,

how did the mauve blush look in the orange packaging? i love orange, but i'd image it clashes with mauve pretty bad

Now I am a Dazzleglass Bimbo and a Hater!

I love the Moonbathe packaging! This is the first ever sinceI started with MAC in 2006 that I really don't care for. Yeah, the mauve and orange clashed horribly! The lipglasses looked pretty ok with the orange lids, and the orange blush looked ok, but the mauve blush in the orange packaging clashed REALLY badly

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

WOW i just saw some of the collection on eBay and i think i want more now then i had intially expected!!! The 2 blushes, 3 of the 4 lipgloss, & the 3 lipsticks shown there look super hot!!! I can't wait to see the rest of this collection & i really can't wait for it to finally get here!!!!!

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

Yep, Audrey talked me right into getting BOTH Blushes

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

I wonder if the average shopper will just pass this collection by due to the orange packaging. It seems like from the pics on ebay that the pretty colors of the blushes, etc have no way to show their true potential and gorgeousness through orange construction cone color packaging. I love the special packaging like lure, moonbathe, belle azure, etc but ORANGE?!?! Yuck!

lol, i'm a horrible person.

the problem with bright colored packagings is that they always clash with something. i think i'll depot the mauve blush when i get it.

Thanks so much for the review audrey! I wonder if the release date was pushed up everywhere. If that is the case then I could probably check it out this thursday! Awesome indeed :-D

Honestly, I don't know how anyone could pass it by... Seriously you can see this stuff from a mile away, and if you look at it too long, it may cause blindness. I do agree that the color of this packaging does take away from the product itself. When you look at the products, all you see it the orange glow, and it makes it hard to consentrate on exactly what you are looking at! I know there were alot of people embarassed to pull out their Heatherette compacts in public, but I can't imagine pulling out my glow in the dark bronzer compact for a touch up in a public place.

IMO, with collections like Barbie, Lure, and Moonbathe, the packaging ENHANCED the product. This packaging takes away from the product. Just my opinion of course

Oh stop! You are not horrible!

I am so afraid to depot my blushes. The last 2 I did, I shattered. I can depot e/s all day long, but I am not so good with blushes!

if you have enough patience, the alcohol method works great for blushes (let the alcohol SLOWLY dissolve away the glue on the bottom of the pan). it takes like an hour and you have to wiggle the pan and add a few drops of alcohol every couple of minutes , but i have not lost a single blush yet. plus, no open flame in the house is always a good thing

Ooooh, I have never tried this! Do I just drip the alcohol along the edge of the pan where it meets the plastic? Do you use an eye dropper or something?

OoOo Thanks for the info! I wonder if you could try the same thing with Tea Tree Oil or Lavender Oil. I have to wrap heaps of gifts at work and thats normally what we use to dissolve the sticky glue residue that price tags sometime leave behind. I might give it a go >_<

yup, and i use my old pointy tweezer as a dropper (squeeze the tips together, and dip it in alcohol, then lean the tip on the plastic part just above/besides the gap and the alcohol will flow into the gap without touching your blush powder, keep the tips of the tweezer together the entire time)

i never tried that. the last time i moved (2 weeks ago), my lavendar + tea tree oil mixture(for my face) spilled onto a clear plastic container and melted the plastic
