I hope so because I've heard such good things about the Pink Grapefruit, so I wanted to purchase it.

Maybe its my monitor because it looks orangish. Ah well, I'm gonna get if its more pinkish.

I can totally see how these colors can blend effortlessly into each other. I might pass on Time and Space because it looks like Amber Lights to me. And Magnetic Fields looks like a darker Bronze.

AND I AM DEFINITELY GETTING SPACED OUT!!

Thanks again Erine! You big help, you!!!

I feel like I should get one because of the packaging, lol. With my skin coloring I think the Pleasureseeker might look a bit odd on me.

I feel the same way. I thought PG was gonna be a gorgeous pinkish color but it looks more orange. And its so bold...I'm going to pass until I see more swatches convincing me to get it. I keep telling myself that I will be a little tanner this summer and things will look better....but I dunno.

This is what I've decided:
*Will pass on Refined Golden bronzer. I had it before so I know I want it. But since its perm it can wait
*Will pass on Pink grapefruit until a swatch convinces me
*I may pass on Naked Space l/g until a swatch convinces me...doesnt look that unique
*will pass on Sunsonic lipstick because I have 1N. They may not be exact, but they both seem gold. How many gold lipsticks do ya need?

So the definites are:
*Pleasureseeker lipstick
*Soft and Slow l/g
*Evening Aura e/s

And we'll see about the rest guys.

Yes, it came out with C-Squeeze in 2005 (I think) and was repromoted last year in the mini l/g sets.

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

Alright girls, I am seriously fretting.... I am addicted to e/s. That is why I keep staring at Erine's swatch picture of them. I am 99% sure I am getting Femme Fi. I aleady have Expensive Pink. Now about the others, do you think they can work on a NW15 that has strong PINK undertones? I know that oranges/brown are supposed to play up blue eyes (Which I have) and that is why I am tempted. I haven't found many shadows yet in this color family that I like on me, but I could just be picking the wrong ones. Can I make these flattering for me somehow? Should I even allow myself to be tempted, or just say forget it and pass.

Oh Audrey, I think so. Orange is the compliment of blue. But you're right, it could just be the 'right' shade.

Sue Devitt makes this liner called Tanzania...it is THE most gorgeous shadow/liner. It is a reddish/coppery/bronze - the 'right' shade. I use mine just smudged under my liner on lower bottom lash line. I think this color tone would be beautiful for your already pretty blue eyes.

Anyhow, I am hoping to find that MAC shadow that matches that particular color. But I think these shadow shades are complimentary beautiful.

I think you should try them on at your counter, go home with them on, and see what you think!

What I'm definitely getting from this collection is:
Pleasureseeker l/s
Naked Space (if it doesn't look just like Sock Hop) and Pink Grapefruit l/g

What I'm considering is:
Femme Fi and Evening Aura e/s
Spaced Out blush
Edited to add: Magnetic Fields, thanks to that enabler, elegant one!!!

When do we think this will be online now?

You know I am a teal-bimbo like you

but I want Expensive Pink and Evening Aura.
Time & Space and Magnetic Fields are too brown/bronze for my taste, I know I wouldn't wear them very often.

I think Evening Aura will suit you, too!

That's me, a teal bimbo loud and proud!

I already have bronze, which I don't wear too often (though I love the color). I had Amber Lights which looks similar to one of them and I swapped it. I think I am going to try Femme Fi and Evening Aura. I don't have anything like Evening Aura yet, and I think it will look beautiful with Expensive Pink

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

Audrey, I have blue eyes and I love wearing my browns/golds. I think it makes them look hot, IMO. I am def picking up Magnetic Fields & Femme-Fi.

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

Magnetic Fields would look lovely brushed into the lash lines no matter what color eyes you have & then on your lower line, right under the MF, put a light thin highlight line of Femmi-Fi - will make your eyes pop & light up

Cripes, I wasn't even considering that one, and now I am!

I am just tempted to buy the 4 I don't have and play with them and see how it goes. I know I can always swap or sell them later if it doesn't work out

They aren't as warm as I thought they would be, and I that is why I am rethinking them I guess.

 

[Susanne]

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

So,
this is my list now:

e/s Expensive Pink and Evening Aura
l/g Pink Grapefruit and Soft & Slow
blush Spaced Out
bronzing powder Refined Golden

6 pieces, not more.
