My thoughts exactly! That's why I want the true peach blush to go with the peach lips. I don't have any peach l/s. And well, if you have peach lips and peach cheeks, you need peachy/brown/bronze shades on your eyes, which my collection is sorely lacking. see, I neeeed them! Ahhh, spoken like a true addict

Besides that, I wore similar shades yesterday and my DH was loving it!

Gotta keep my man happy!

I can't believe you don't have any peach-y things! Peaches are fantastic on us pale beauties. In addition to peach l/s and blush, you must get a peach gloss! It doesn't have to be MAC (oh, the shock and horror) but you should look into getting one. NARS Orgasm l/g is fantastic (albeit expensive) as a starting out pointer.

Peach can be a very flattering shade for any skin tone if its made right...which I think MAC does.

Ya know, Spaced Out can probably be teamed up with Alpha Girl or a little Peaches blush with SO brushed on top. Oh & don't forget pairing it up with Refined Golden!...just thinkin out loud (which can sometimes get me into trouble

Does Magnetic Fields look like anything else? Is it that unique? And the Sci Fi Delity lipstick (red one) What of it for a NC45? I think my list is growing but I want it to shrink!!!!

You are so very welcome!! Femme fi is definitely more of a yellow/golden beige. Really pretty for the summer and looks great with magnetic fields for a simple work look :-D

The texture of these blushes were great- I will give them that. A girl can only handle so many though (esp with our mineralize blushes coming out)

In regards to pleasureseeker, I did see mostly peach. Maybe there was a slight pink pearl to it? I just get so turned off by the texture that I don't give them enough time I suppose.

Do you know if Evening Aura compares to Lovebud from Culturebloom at all? And you said that the peach blush wasn't too special? I am trying so hard to resist this because I have my go to peach blush, Shy Beauty BPB, and I don't wear peach on my cheeks much anyway... So I don't need it right? Man, Electro looks FIERCE on you! I so wish I was comfortable in those shades. It will be pefect for summer! So, since you know all about my lip color phobias, will I like Pleasureseeker l/s? Are you going to do a FOTD? Puleeeease?

Audrey, you are welcome!! Unfortunately, culturebloom was before my mac time so I cannot compare the two. All I can say is that evening aura comes across a golden orange. Its a gorgeous color (probably one of my favs) Its bright but not too bright, it also isn't too orange or too yellow- so it isn't overwhelming at all

Big plus for work looks

The blushes are pretty, but how many more do we all need. Haha, don't answer that. Maybe I will end up with one of them when this stuff gets released at my local f/s (i think im too lazy to go to the pro shop this thursday)

Your wish is my command, I will try to get a neo sci fi fotd up tonight using the colors. im thinking the 3 e/s I have, a bronzey blush, electro on the lips?

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

im not sure which bronzer to get for my NW20 skin.. ill be going on holiday in July and i love the orange packaging so i do want one of the bronzers but im not sure which one would be lighter? by the descriptions refined golden sounds like it would be the lightest shade but from erines swatches it looks the darkest

OhGodohGodohGodohGod

I CAN'T WAIT. ohhhhhhh my goodness lol.

Okay, first off the boxes are BRIGHT!

Anywho...Adina can i ask you if you think the peach blush would show on and NC42/C4? I am debating....because I really want the mineralized blushes so I'm not sure if I should get this one.

Sunsonic is the palest lipstick, right? Is there anything similar you can compare it to? Is this really needed? I use my fleshpot everyday...I know thats not gold. But I also have 1N which i never use anymore...should I even bother with sunsonic then?

And neezer, I think you are the one with naked space lipglass. Is that even worth getting? is it unique? I gotta clamp down on this collection or itll be the death of me lol

No, its lighter! I'm NW15 & it is THE most perfect bronzer EVER! Its gorgeous.
Of course, you can always build with the color...but it's great

To me it looks like solar riche is lighter....but honestly, i used to have refined golden and its gorgeous. You just can't go wrong...its great!

But looking at new swatches of Solar Riche is kinda making me want that one too...

lol

I think you might like the Solar Riche...it's not THAT dark but it's not that light either...to me it just looked like Studio Fix

I decided to skip this l/s because the more swatches I see, the more it reminds me of Gel from the permanent line. If you don't use 1N, you probably won't use this much either. It is pretty, but dupeable if you are trying to shorten your list

Agreed! This lipstick reminds me of another le from a fairly recent collection (summer of last year) Gilty kiss from antiquitease maybe?

In regards to the blush it is hard to say. They are so finely milled and shimmery that I def think you would get a good payoff. I wish I could answer better about how it would fit to your complexion. I sorry

That was my thought, since I have Peaches propably I won't be getting Spaced Out too, I have so many peachy blushes
Refined Golden bronzer:What shade is exactly? Too much for a NC25?
