Femme-Fi is more gold-my MAC guy says that Femme-Fi is what he wishes Ricepaper was.

Anywhoo, I got Electro, and it is so pretty on. It's like a coral on me, not a bright orange. I almost don't have to wear a blush with this one because it brings out the colour of my cheeks. I also got a sample jar of the VAE and am sure I will love it because my MAC guy says it is really good for oily/combination skin. And the 4 ounce size will last a good while-I would say that a full size would last at least 4 to 6 months. That's based on me using other scrubs though...so it could be more or less.

I can already sense another mass-emailing campaign...

ETA: The freestanding ALREADY sold out of ALL of the nail polishes.

Neezer...I'm not sure if someone tattled. I think the mods usually just see these things happen and delete it. No big deal, I'm sure they aren't upset with you...just against the rules

Damn Pleasureseeker. I was so effing excited about this....(read below)

I got my package today. The orange packaging is VERY traffic cone-ish...but can i say once I popped those eyeshadows out there was something sooooo adorable about them? I was going to depot with no question...but daaaamn it. They are so cute!

Evening Aura-gorgeous peach. just what I expected

Magnetic Fields-I've never had a lustre but this was a real nice color. very dark brown, just what everyones been saying about it

Pleasureseeker-Didn't show up...I might as well have had lip balm on.

I tried it over fleshpot but the pinkish beige of fleshpot showed more than the peachy. I dunno about this one guys. My lips are just pigmented and I have other glazes (and LL) and they never have an issue with showing up on me

Pink grapefruit-It scared me when i looked at it but it is a weird color. Looks DARK orange. Goes on sheer orange with shimmer. When u wipe it off I see pink lol. I dunno about this shade...pretty but it didnt seem breathtaking

Soft and Slow-mmmm. Gorgeous plummy color. I will get a backup, I believe

Lip exfoliator-Thisssss is amazing guys. Everyone should get one (it looks like we all already ordered one haha) I want another one. I want to keep one in my bathroom. One in my purse. One in the shower. one in my room...LMAO. Its adorable, and it works amazing. I love this so much. When u rub it into ur lips u can see the flakes coming off! And it comes with directions!

MAC why do you dooooooo this to me lmao. I love this collection!

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

The main reason why I did NOT get Evening Aura is because it is EXACTLY like Urban Decay Jones (which is what I feared). So that is good news in a way, if you want EA but it sells out you can get the UD version, albeit sans the wicked cool orange packaging.

Now I REALLY want Phosphor again. I told myself no on the nail polishes but it's so pretty in the bottle, it's a frosty yellow and not a super matte one.

it is approved for the body, however, i think it might be too gentle. i would reserve this for the face and use something a bit stronger for the bod.

i would say, if you use it once a week, i would say atleast a couple months, maybe more like kikib said. if you use it alone, 3 times a week, less.

i am sooo getting this one, and neon 8. opi's got nuttin similar. believe you me, i checked today.

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

No, I had seen the OPI Brights, and there is a bright yellow, but that's where the similarities end. It's just that you don't see yellow polishes that often, or you don't see a whole lot of them, so I classify them as similar. HTH!

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

As someone who loves a neutral, soft lip, I think Pleasureseeker and Lollypop Loving are great and different enough to want both.

Pleasureseeker is an orangey-peach and although the website calls Lollipop Loving a coral, I find it to be a warm pink, especially in comparison to Pleasureseeker.

phosphor is more of a metallic lemon yellow, and need sunglasses? is a sheer banana yellow. i got NS? a few weeks ago, hoping it'd be what phosphor is, but sadly

, its not. so phosphor will be mine.

I dunno, OPI's Cabana Banana looks awful close - it is bright yellow and metallic-esque I guess, it's hard to tell 'cuz the polish on my toes is about 2 weeks old. It might have been dc'd, though.

Edit: Cabana Banana is not sheer, though.

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

One more difference with Pleasureseeker and Lollipop Loving... Lollipop Loving leaves a lot of sparkle behind, even after you wipe it off. Pleasureseeker doesn't.

Still hate the neon orange packaging though. Not pretty at all.

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

hey erine, one more question about this exfoliator--how often does it recommend to be used? like microfine refinisher with a few days a week? or once a week would be better?? thanks!

Hey, thanks alot for mentioning the directions. I completely missed them till I looked after reading your post!

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

I just got my solar bits and I love them. I would say that my favorite is black ore. I didn't get any fall out because I took someone's advice in the previous post and used a small amount and the finish came out perfect. I also got Electro which kind of reminds me of apex 3D glass but just in l/s form. That completed my shopping for today... my hubby is watching my every move so I have to sneak things in now little by little!

I mean for this one, since it seems to be gentler, I would imagine that you could use it a few days a week. I have oily skin so I HAVE to use a scrub daily, no ifs ands or buts, but it has to be gentle at the same time. If you don't have problem skin like mine, I don't see why you'd have to go daily, and if you have sensitive skin, do NOT go daily.

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

I called my semi-local Nordies and they have the complete collection in stock. I'm going in after work and play with Neo Sci-Fi. Can't wait!

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

I seem to have lost my paycheck ( not sure how I pulled that one off), so I could only get TWO eyeshadows! This may be a blessing in disguise..anyway, I got Magnetic Fields and Evening Aura, and I love both. Evening Aura is a nice addition to my coral/orange/peach collection (it's an addiction), but nothing too unique. Magnetic Fields is the perfect brown, however, and I'm really excited to use it tomorrow!

 

[xoleaxo]

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

i'm going to check out the collection tomorrow

right now, i want all the eyeshadows except expensive pink. they are pretty, plus i'm a sucker for neutralish colors. i want soft and slow, too.. and now you guys got me wanting the lip exfoliator. can't wait to see these in person!

 

[darkishstar]

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

I think I might get just Magnetic Fields. I don't need Femme-Fi (I'm waiting for Solar White). Would Evening Aura show up on NC30? And Time and Space looks tempting. I think I'll ask my mom to buy them for me though, it's my birthday on the 29th after all!
And Sunsonic looks so pretty...
ARGH, I'm giving in! And I said I would pass on all of this! I really still hate the packaging though.
