It will be a bit dark to use as a highlight shade" So there you go - another reason for me to buy! Edited to say that my Tuesday order arrived as I was typing this and I love Time & Space (looks way better on me than Woodwinked), Evening Aura and Magnetic Fields! They look just gorgeous together.

I'm happy for ya! I loved the eyeshadows too...I thought they all work together so beautifully

That sucks that spaced-out seems too orange. I looove duochrome blushes but I can't stand anything orange on my face!

Electro looks awesome on you, but it's way bold. I don't think I'd use it that often.

A lip combo I do love though is Amber Ember cremestick + Soft Pout l/s + Pink Grapefruit l/g

i'm nc45/50 and neither of these showed up well on me. they looked like orange/brown ash. in fact i got similar results w/ smooth harmony. solar riche showed up the best of the two.

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

I got Refined Golden yesterday and its absolutely fabulous for my skin tone (haven't been matched at MAC but prob NC 25?). Solar Riche was way too orangy, as expected.

I played with the Solar Bits and hated them all. Too much fallout and low color payoff. Didn't care for either of the blushes and I have all the similar e/s (and expensive pink). I'm hoping to get back and get Pleasureseeker l/s.

Best of all.. I found an MA that I liked at the freestanding store! I normally feel very pushed off by these 2 certain MAs that I always seem to get stuck with. The one yesterday was a complete sweetheart and new how to get me to buy something without being overwhelming! I forgot to grab her name..

ITA with Audrey that it is verrrry similar to Lolli, but without the green. If you were a normal person who had Lolli, I'd say you don't need it (unless you don't care for the green), but since you describe yourself as a peach/coral freak (like me), then yes, you need Pleasureseeker and also Pink Grapefruit!

It does look gorgeous & everyone's saying they love it I dont know what to do!

haha...I have all those color lippies too...but I still loved Pleasureseeker! It's a little lighter & more peach than all the above...but ya know, everything looks different on everyone else. But, its pretty

Too, I liked the fact that its the same tone as the shadow, blush, so that the colors all work together

Just swatched Lollipop Luvin...it has more pink/coral undertone whereas the PS is a true peach

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

I'm a nut.............today I just decided to get almost the whole entire collection. (minus X-rocks blush and Sunsonic lipstick)

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

I am soooooo tempted to get Pleasureseeker cause of all the positive comments it has gotten, but the only picture of it that is on someone's lips in the swatch section, it looks like there is nothing there. I'd hate to get it & have it not show up on me at all, and I know that is what will happen

...thats so funny

You got Electro? I think this color is one that you could pull off, especially for as good as Port Red looked on you. I think that the peaches would look just lovely for you...but that's just my humble opinion

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

I still have 1 whole week to go to see them in person.

Ya, her swatch looks like she has nothing on

Although I swatched it on my hand, it did show up pretty well...just a light true peach. It probably depends on your lip color too, & how much is applied. I won't get mine until tomorrow

but I have very pigmented lips, so I'll post when I get it tomorrow. I don't ever try on from the testers...don't want anyone else's heebie jeebies

Hopefully, it doesn't end up in BC the way my Dresscamp order did! But seriously, the last order I placed took a day longer than usual, if you don't get it by tomorrow morning, call the Cdn 1-800 # and ask them to track it through UPS.

Is the volcanic ash exfoliator permanent?

Thank you dahling!!!!

I sure nuff did get Electro!!! I really wanted to be bold and get it. I just have to see how I can work it. It looks too hot to pass on it.

I love peaches of any kind, so I had to get the blush and the Pleasureseeker. It looks nicer than I thought!

It's so funny how in the beginning, I wanted EVERYTHING........then I ended up wanting like four items............then went back to wanting to get 98% of the collection.

Swatches (in pics and in person) help a GREAT deal in decision making!

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

I had a major haul yesterday....all of the e/s except Exp Pink, both blushes, all the l/s except Electro (waay too bright), soft and slow and naked space gloss. Love it all.

Today I'm wearing Femme Fi as a wash, with Time and Space in the crease. Xrocks blush and the brown lippie. The textures of the shadows are great. I am NW15/20 and the blush isn't too dark or muddy. Can't wait to try the rest!

LOL, I am totally afraid of everyone's heebie jeebies on the testers too

So even if I get to the store to test it I won't know how it is on my lips...it looks gorgeous on people's hands in the swatches though! I'm so anxious to see eveyone wearing it (and the other l/s from the collection, I already caved & bought all the l/g's & they should be here today

)
