when i was making testers the other day at work, i looked at solar riche compared to refined golden. they looked identical! wtf! that's not what solar riche looked like at update. i actually think it was a refined golden in a solar riche compac. serioulsy. the descriptions aren't even close to one another. i'm gonna double check it again tmrw, and swatch both on my hand thursday. i'll post pics then.

I love the orange packaging! I really like the lipstick the model is wearing in the Solar Bits color story part here on Specktra. Any guess as to what she has on?

Sunsonic may be a Tanarama twin perhaps? If someone gets this
please do a comparison with Tanarama.

)

And the peach nude gloss
(with the orange top) may be similar to C-Thru perhaps from the look of it.

The blushes look HOT. As far as the Solar Bits, if you have Lorac Glam Rocks
you don't need them.However Black Ore looks amazing, and Lorac does not have a Glam Rocks in that shade, just the other ones MAC has for the Solar Bits.

Did they raise the price on Tendertones? Were they 15 last year?
Thought they were less than that last year.

she's wearing bronzescape and black ore, and sunsonic.

the tendertones were $14.50, and they still are.

I thought I was crazy I knew something was missing haha. I actually wanted the Mask instead of the Exfoliator. Well I guess I'll probably end up wanting it anyway.

I'm so excited for these collections and Starflash. I don't know about the mineralized blush collection I might pass since I'm so in love with my Raizin and Studio Mist Blush in Bronze I don't think I'd ever cheat on them lol.

I'm rethinking it. I was the first one to say I wanted all of the solar bits, but now I'm just turned off by the crazy fall out and when someone said that they wouldn't be something to be used during the daytime. I have one coming to me from ebay so I'll play with that and see how I like it.

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

Oh yes, and Ernie (or anyone else

) Could you please tell me about Magnetic Fields eyeshadow? The black brown one? Is it dupeable/how do you feel about it, is it worth it? Thanks so much again!!

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

I will probably only get one Scatterays of the Solar Bits because of the pigments coming out. I will limit myself to one nail polish though, and I could potentially limit my eyeshadows. Honestly the bronzers aren't screaming my name as much. I want the compact, yes, but I can make do with Northern Lights and Belightful (best bronzer EVER for me). Do you all think that Electro will sell out? It's the lipstick that is most expendable for me because there is no way I will give up Sci-Fi Delity.

Have you seen the new collection Electroflash Teaser yet?? New MES? Risser posted it here on page 5:

I will pass the Solar Bits now for sure!!!
I love MAC, but it is too much for me in these days.

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

I had just shortened my list to one item only when I received my Neo Sci Fi mailer...and now I'm back to my original long list....the mailer is just gorgeous

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

I don't know girls... this collection is falling lower and lower on my wishlist. That peach blush is still tempting me, but that may be it. I am saving my money and my empties for all the great thiings to come. Oranges/Peach/Brown and I don't mesh well together anyway.

Yeah I totally agree! I'm not really feeling this collection. The peach blush looks pretty but I don't need another one. I was interested in the Black Ore but totally turned off when I kept reading about the fall-out. I'm saving my money for the summer collections.

And I say skip this peach blush and get the peach one from Sonic Chic!

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

So I just called my counter and they said its still being released on May 29th!? BOO! I'm still really excited for this collection [mainly for the orange packaging and cool nail polishes, haha]. I thought it was being moved up to the 21st for everyone? I just made my makeover appt for the 30th, but I hope my amazing MA will call me if they decide to move it up.

The same here! I just have shortened my list one more time.
I still want two e/s, two l/g, one blush and one bronzing powder.

That's it.

I will save my money for the mineralized colections!!

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

Ok, well solar bits does look very pretty on Snowkei 's eyes in the swatch thread!

 

[panther27]

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

I am getting Black Ore and Scatterrays and samples of Sunpower and Bronzescape.Soooo pretty and glittery and totally me.

I am also still going to pick up a few shadows and a ls 2 lg 2nl and the Spaced Out blush.Can't pass those up.

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

Check out Snowkei's recent entry in the Swatch Forum. Niiiice

Remember no chat in the swatch forum though, thanks!

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

Based on Snowkei's pics, I see one lipstick, one gloss, two (maybe three) shadows and the nail polishes. Depending on how the lustre in Magnetic Fields, I may get it. It just looks so pretty...so if it's anything like Tempting I'll go for it. I'll definitely be passing on the peach blush in favor of the one from Sonic Chic, though. I can safely pass on the yellow polish because it looks just like what I'm wearing on my toes right now! The blue...I don't know. Part of me really wants that bright blue, but the practical part of me knows I have soooo many nail polishes and I probably will get very little use out of it. The bronze and orange, though look much more wearable...even in a professional setting, as long as they're on the toes!
