WOW!!
Spaced Out looks absolutely stunning! I can see why you love the color so much erine! I'm so happy that this collection is now coming out closer to my birthday!
And Audrey, would you say that there is a green pearl or greenish tint/shimmer to Plasma Blu? I love the color in the pics, but not if it has a white pearl or is a cream. TIA!

While I don't love the orange packaging (like I LOVED Lure's), I don't hate it either. The packaging might be risky for MAC because it isn't a favorite color and might thrown some people off, but it has never been done before and may be a huge hit. Companies usually stick to black, (rightfully so), but its nice to see something totally different! Good for MAC for trying something out of the box. I say give it a try!
Anywho, I think I'm gonna get all Solar Bits except Bronzescape. Sucks I can't see this stuff in person. I'm getting more and more excited about this collection.

Thanks so much for the swatches Erine!
I do agree that a little goes a LONG way with the Solar Bits. I just put a fingertip on the lid of the pots, and I got a TON! :nods

I am torn about getting both too! X-rocks looks very dark in Erine's swatches, but with a light swipe, it is a beautiful mauvey pink kind of copper (but not brown or orange or red). The color is hard to explain but the texture is FABULOUS! I think *that* is what is making me want both of them. I am definately getting Spaced Out, and will play with X-Rocks a bit more on launch day

Honestly, I didn't swatch it on my nail, so I can't say for sure. It is VERY frosty with lots of pearl, definately not a cream, but I didn't inspect it closely enough to notice a green shimmer, I'm sorry
Thanks so much for the swatches Erine!

Spaced out will be mine now for sure,too! Let's see what my money says and if I like X-rocks if I can test it in real
And I imagine to combine Spaced Out with a MSF like Glissade on top of it. Using the 188 it must look gorgeous!

Thanks for the review Audrey!! =)
Do you think Pleasureseeker would suit darker skin tones like NC43-45? Is it on the paleness level of Fleshpot? obviously peachier but I hope you know what I mean,lol.
For anyone that bought Pink Grapefruit from previous releases. Please put a swatch up!! Thanks =)
BTW..CantaffordMac and GlamYourus, both of you look so pretty in ur new avatars!!

It is not near as pale as Fleshpot. I feel like Fleshpot washed me out, and this definately didn't do that. It is a glaze, so it is a bit sheer, but I think a couple of layers would give a beautiful peachy sheen on the lips for WOC.

It is one of the more opaque lipglasses. I mean, you can see through it, and it has lots of sparkle, but it also puts off ALOT of color. I do love it, and it is beautiful in the tube and on other people, but personally for me, it's outside of my comfort zone. It is gorgeous, but alot brighter and alot more color than I am used to. It seems like you are drawn to the same sorts of lip colors as I am, and if that is the case, this will be too bright for your liking too.

Bold lips can be elegant and glamorous, too! I love Style Minx and I will love Pink Grapefruit. These colors are hot in summer. You don't need to feel like a child, it is the way you behave that makes the difference

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth
Can I honestly tell you why I steer clear of bolder brighter lips? I am embarassed to admit it, but I am ashamed of my teeth. I mean,they aren't yellow and rotting or anything
, but they are not straight, and I have alot of crowding, a bad overbite, and need braces badly. I was teased horribly as a kid. It is something I am very self consious about and I feel like the spotlight is REALLY on my mouth when I wear anything bright. I prefer to go crazy with my eyes, because, IMO, they are my best feature
Now, when I finally get my braces, and I am done with them, lookout, cause I will be all over those bright lippies then!

I don't know...Its just too much. For some odd reason I can do the darkest colors on my eyes and love it, but my lips can't be dark. I just never liked it.
I may still give PG a shot. we'll see. I don't feel like a child, rather a little girl who was playing in her mom's makeup lol.
