I can't believe that all of the sudden today, I'm considering Pink Grapefruit...just because I bought a summery cami that has those colors in
it

Post what you think when you get 'em!

I can't believe I'm lemming electro, lol. When I first heard of it & saw the picture I thought how horrible it would look on me. Now, because some people have said how they love it I can't stop thinking about it! But I am resisting cause ultimately I will look awful in it & never wear it.

I will definitely post my thoughts on the l/g's & try to get some swatcehes up by tomorrow...although there seem to be some great swatches of them already thanks to all the great members here

i agree elegant-one. they are way more glittery, more metallic, and have larger glitter pieces.

this has already been discussed earlier. nordies released it on wednesday for their annual sale, and it came out today at stores. all other locations will release it on the original launch date, the 29th.

Erine - I have heard that X-rocks is similar to After Dusk blush. Thoughts on this?

I'd be interested to know this too, since in a moment of panic, I bought two jars of Gold Dusk.

I don't ever try on from the testers...don't want anyone else's heebie jeebies

The swatch I posted is definitely "enh" - sorry about that. It shows up a bit peachier when you actually look at my face in the flesh. On my friend, Pleasureseeker showed up very clearly and was a really pretty, feminine colour. Really, it's going to vary based on your colouring, since it is a fairly light colour.

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

So why is there no Volcanic mask? Sorry if this was all ready covered somewhere else.Its not on the website.
I am pouncing on the exfoliator!

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

I'm holding off on the exfoliater until I read reviews. My darn skin is uber-picky about cleansers, creams and foundations. Still recovering from a BE MMU debacle from last week (note to self: skin does not like bismouth oxychloride). I wonder if I can get a sample of this first, to avoid making a bad purchase? Even if it's a LE item, I assume MAC will make samples for customers. I would hate to have to return something like this and have it binned.

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

i love the face charts on the site. Especially that last one...and Astrial...very nicely done...i think thats the part i love about collections the different looks they come out with for the charts.....okay who am i kidding i like the product too lol....

no way jose. afterdusk is nymphette for the cheeks, would you agree? x-rocks is very plum-chocolate. much darker, with no pink or gold whatsoever. very WOC friendly.

no prob. ask all the ?s you want. i still use my microfine refinisher for a major scrub, but the VAE is softer and more gentle. its great if your skin is more sensitive. also, the ash absorbs oil, so if you've got oily skin, its a plus. and i kinda like the fact that this black goop makes my skin so soft and smooth. i wish this was perm. damn it!

there just isn't. i don't know if there was a mistranslation or what, but there has only been the scrub.

maybe they'll come out with it later.

good news smmy! no bismouth oxychloride! i'm sure you can get a sample of it, if your counter samples that is. just don't bet on it being available later if your skin passes the test. one sample cup full will last you 4 uses. it only takes a grape size per use.

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

Well I called my freestanding this morning and they got the exfoliator, so I just got back from picking it up. Wow...thats all I can say is wow!!! I have only rubbed it on my hand and it feels amazing! I am now going to try it on my face and I will let you guys know!

Thank you for this information, erine. I always patch test now, just to be on the safe side. But no bismouth oxychloride is definitely a plus! I'm thinking of dropping in at the Nordie's counter on the way home from work tomorrow night. I need to look at X-rocks in person. It does sound very pretty from your description.

Thanks erine...the queen of question answering!

I'm game for trying it...& it will be half the price of what I pay for my chanel. Hope I love it.

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

I just died and went to heaven!! Ernie you are right, it makes your skin feel really soft! I didn't think I would need to buy 2 because there is soo much product in the jar, I changed my mind now! I WILL NEED ANOTHER JAR!!

erine I was thinking of using this for my body too but should I go for it or find something a bit more strong? right now I'm using C.O. Bigelow's Lemon Body scrub and it's so thick and nice - Should I stick to that one for the body??

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

sounds like it would make your skin smooth...maybe i will go and stick my finger in the jar and see

im still loving naked space tho and i cant wait for these lipsticks to come!!



ps. didnt know you could not say things about s_ lling in this thread..apologies...but i didnt know i would get reported either :-\ thank u to the tattletale tho...

 

[gigglegirl]

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

wow do we have an eta for this on the site? i thought it would be a quick fix and up there asap...but its been days now. i think i want to order a couple off the hop!

Erine--you said a sample jar would last 4 times. Now with the full jar, how many applications (guesstimated) would one last?

EDIT: talking about the volcanic ash exfoliator.
