Help me decide... if you had to choose (and were my coloring - NW15) 3 things from the following, which would you choose: -Spaced Out Blush -Femme Fi e/s -Magentic Fields e/s -Evening Aura e/s -Naked Space l/g

Femme Fi e/s
Evening Aura e/s
Spaced Out Blush

That being said...I'll still get it if a) I cannot live without it after seeing it in person or b) I manage to hold off for the time being, but later spot it at a CCO. Last night whilst I was dreaming (yes, I dreamt of MAC all night last night , I suddenly remembered that I wanted to check out the Pink Grapefruit l/g and the bronze and orange polishes...so add those to the list. But, now I'm thinking...I can probably get those polishes from a CCO eventually, right? I'm really trying to cut costs, so I'm only going for the "gotta haves" right now with the plan to be hittin' the CCOs hard 'n' fast later. I'm thinking my must haves are: Magnetic Fields and Evening Aura e/s, Pleasureseeker l/g, and Naked Space and Pink Grapefruit l/g. Anyone here think Naked Space will sell out, or can I push that off as a CCO purchase, too? What about Femme-Fi...big seller, or no?

I totally agree!! I also think that the ones that will be something else than regular will be: Magnetic Fields and Evening Aura e/s, and Pleasureseeker and Electro l/s. Even tho I don't I'll be getting Electro since I'm never gonna wear it.
BTW Femme-Fi looked really close to Stila's Wheat, if anyone else is a Stila e/s lover can correct me!

Well, I got all of the above except Evening Aura because I thought the peach would probably disappear on me. I'm NC15 btw.

Just get it all!!! I'm no help

I'm an enabler haha.

Audrey, I thought you fell off the earth & went into Neo Sci Fi space

I just viewed some more swatches of the shadows by Blue Angel (didn't even note where i was) I personally think they are so pretty! The two real stand outs were Femmi Fi & Magnetic Fields

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

For me the unique items, just from the swatches I've seen are Evening aura es - Looks like a flattering shimmery peach with no dreaded pink tones to me.
Magnetique Fields es - I don't have a single dark brown eye shadow like this and if it is a VP as well, then be still my heart
Spaced Out blush - duochrome peach blush = love

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

I have a serious problem!! LOL

Went to the counter at my Dillards and thought maybe I could get a sneak peak. There wasn't anyone there and the ma knew me so she asked if I wanted to go in the back to see the collection? Hell yeah!!

She said she couldn't sell it to me because they weren't putting it out until next week. I told her it went online today and she was surprised. While I was in the back room drooling the phone rang and it was the counter manager. She said, Natalie is here and we're in the back room and she says Neo Sci-Fi is online. The manager asked her to ask me if it was for sale online, yes I said. Okay she says, Brook says you can buy today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They hadn't received everything yet but here is what I got.

X-Rocks blush (I was so surprised at how unique it was, beautiful)
Time & Space (reminds me a lot of Woodwinked but prettier)
Femme-Fi (beautiful texture)
SunSonic lipstick

They didn't have Electro yet or Evening Aura (that will be mine). I wasn't crazy about the color payoff of Magnetic Fields so I passed!!

She also let me play with Solar Bits, WAY too much glitter and shine for me. Pretty though
HAPPY DANCE!!

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

Is this available in Toronto stores now? I thought all collections came out on Thursdays... did I miss the first day?

 

[Meryl]

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

To all the ladies out there who love warm pinks and peachy-pinks, like me... is this collection a bit on the yellow-y orange side? Are there any nice pinky-oranges or is this a warm orange collection?

 

[newagetomatoz]

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

I'm still on the fence about Electro, Femme-fi, and Evening Aura.

I really don't go for bold lips, but I've wanted an orange one for a while, but I feel like it will be too Syracuse (wearing a sweatshirt of theirs now lol) or traffic cone orange. Or even possibly a clone of Morange.

Femme-fi, I just love gold shadows and this looks so lovely! But I don't know if it will make an good highlighter or even if I'll use it more than once every few months. It almost reminds me of the lighter color in NARS's Mediteranee duo, which I might be better off buying because I like the orange in it too.

Evening Aura was never even on my list, but I keep seeing everyone ordering it (ooooo peer pressure) and I kind of want it. But I already have Melon and Deckchair and I use them maybe once a month, so I dont know if Evening Aura is worth it, even though I don't have any other peach shadows. PS, the online chat MA said it is like Samoa Silk but pearlized.

*Sigh* The only 'for sure's now are Spaced Out, Plasma Blu, and Magnetic Fields.

SMMY - yes the Evening Aura too. I'm hoping that IRL, the color pops a little. The swatch I saw just kinda faded peach - but she could've done a light swatch too.

" Magnetique Fields" - you make that sound so sexy
I can hear the French man saying, "Your eyes are like Magnetique Fields"

oh, never mind me

I just did my m/u and Femme-fi is B E A U T I F U L. The closest thing I have is Relaxing from the Sundressing Collection. I am going to get a backup! Would be beautiful as a highlight or lid color! (one persons opinion

)

snort! yes, seductive words indeed.

I'm the other direction. I'm hoping Evening Aura is a subtle peach and not too orange. I have Firespot, which I love, but have to pair with a subtle neutral or I feel like all I can see on my face is orange eye lids. Pink can make me look tired, if it's not the right shade of pink. I know I sound picky, but I'm still searching for the perfect peach eye shadow. Hope this one's it.

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

^^^ na, I 'm with you...please no orange but peach...I just don't want it to match my eyelid

I have high hopes for Femmi Fi

 

[gigglegirl]

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

Gosh I'm a dummy. I never considered if the peach tone would match my skintone or not....guess I'll find out when the package comes! Should be interesting, but perhaps over a good base and with other colours it won't look too "skin toney"? I'm feeling buyers remorse before I even get it! :S

 

[Sabrunka]

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

Anyone else's status still say "Status n/a"?? Now I live in Canada and there isn't usually much status change, but it should be saying "processing" by now. I hope this isn't Heatherette all over again where I'll have to wait until Friday to get my goodies!!!

Oh.. And I ordered at 9:30am lol.

 

[gigglegirl]

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

both of mine still says status n/a. but honestly for many of my shipments it doesn't say processing til either the day it arrives (to me in MB, therefore was shipped a few days before) OR even after its delivered. It pisses me off. And there's an old glitch, an old shipment from Jan which did get delivered still says processing. lol. I'm hoping I get it by Friday, but may call Thurs to get the tracking #. I just worry that they are CRAZY overwhelmed with a lot of shipments considering its free shipping, and the order # jumped way high even though the second order was only an hour later.

 

[Winthrop44]

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

My order says Pending and when you go into it the individual items say Accepted, so that sounds good. I ordered around 11:30.

time & space is completely different. it has a slight orange-y base cause its a copper color. amber lights and cosmic are straight up orange.

its a mis-label. its a lustre, but a good lustre.

 

[janelovesyou]

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

I'm so confused about the vp vs. luster thing. Why does the maca website and the product labeling have the wrong information?

Me tooooo!

Thank you all so much for giving your input on what I should haul! You girls are the best!

I had to take a step away from the thread... it was getting too overwhelming

I am leaning towards Spaced Out and Femme Fi e/s. The third available spot in my haul is still up for grabs

One of the reasons I am wanting Spaced Out as opposed to the Mineralized Blush is because MSF have a tendency to break me out if I use them too often, so I don't want to pass on this blush and regret it in case the mineralized ones don't work for me

For those that asked, I don't have Sock Hop. I bought it but ended up swapping it because I didn't like it enough to keep it. I do have plently of dazzleglass to top Pleasureseeker with though!

12 hours and counting til Nordies opens!
