Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth
I feel like i need a bronzer but i am DEATHLY afraid of looking like an oompa loompa since i am so pale.. would either of the bronzers work on NW15?
If i have Twinks, Sable, and sensualize do i need Magnetic Fields..it looks GORGEOUS but i'm not sure if it's worth it to buy another brown if it's too similar to the others..
THANKS

I just got my Sunpower Solar Bits in the mail. The container looks to be less then half full, is this right? I'm about to put picks up in a bit

Yes, they almost look like someone double-dipped from them
The color you bought looks pretty, so I'm curious to hear what you think about it.

Refined Golden is not that dark on. It is a very beautiful natural looking bronzer. Many of us NW15/25 & lighter on here LOVE the color of it. I have never used a bronzer that I liked until this one. Susanne is light & loves this shade too.
oompa loompa ...

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth
If you go back and look at the swatch I posted on p.36 of this thread you can compare it with Raquel (if you're familiar with Raquel). Raquel was described as "bright pinky coral" and back with C-Squeeze Pink Grapefruit was described as "Deep firey orange with golden shimmer". I see pink in Pink Grapefruit, but it is more orange/less pinky than Raquel. To me they're in the same family. But I like CB96 and can see the pink in that too, so....

But just the thought of an Electric Orange on the lipsssssssssss
I can just picture going crazy with a orange flavored popsicle and by the time you're done, your lips have stained this bright orange red color. Thats what I want!
But with shine of course

Erine or Audrey (I almost forgot you saw all this stuff!), does Evening Aura look like the previous LE Say Yeah (which I could never get to work on me)?

I think it will look more pink on pigmented lips imo. I was debating whether or not I should get it but b/c of the pigmented lips issue, I might not. I have like 50+ lipglasses and almost half of it look the same on me. lol

I have very pigmented lips too. Pink Grapefruit shows up pretty much like it looks in the tube. Of course you can sheer it out if you want to, but it's very pigmented and will not look like half your other lipglasses, I promise!

Soft & Glow actually looks very pretty.
Great just great, now I can't stop looking at the swatches of everything after saying I will NOT be buying anything from this collection. LMAO
Someone shoot me already!

Okay, here goes my Solar Bits review:
Keep in mind, that this is solely my opinion and you should see these and test them for yourself.
Let's start with the size. When I opened the package and felt the Solar Bits box, I originally thought I been scammed and they hadn't put anything in the box lol. It was so light. The net weight is 0.14 ounces or 3.9 grams.
The container seems to be less then half way full and it seems that others have noticed this as well. I don't know if my picture can show you how much is in it, but you can see how far from the top of the jar the actual product is.
When I used the product, I actually didn't even use any from the jar besides when I picked out a ball and squished it to see what happens. I was able to just swipe from that little plastic insert like on the pigments.
I like the color of Sunpower on my skin but it's just so glittery and hard to work with that it's not even worth it. And to me the color isn't that unique that I would say I NEED sunpower. I'm sure there's an eyeshadow that I can use that I can just swipe on without all of the trouble.
The fallout is CRAZY! This is how the fallout was when I applied it to my lid. I had glitter all the way down to my mouth and all in my eyelashes. Then when I washed my face, I had glitter from my forehead to my chin. Not a good look.
All in all, my wishlist has become 4 products lighter. I will not be keeping this product nor will I be purchasing the other Solar Bits and the Solar Bits were the main thing I wanted. Maybe others will have better luck with them, but I just don't have the time to work with them. It seems you need to do a lot of work to make it look good.

Is Evening Aura comparable to Deckchair? When I saw the swatch of it on erine, that was the first thing that popped into my mind.

Refined Golden would work on you. It has a soft color payoff if you apply it just once. And not all over the face - just on nose, chin and temples.
