LOL No matter how much other people prepared us for the packaging, it was still brighter than I imagined too! Bummer about Spaced Out and Time & Space. I'm kinda surprised about Time & Space. Maybe give it another try tomorrow?

Pleasureseeker...yes!...actually showed up on my lips..very pretty & sock hop looks pretty over it. I'm not sure that i would've liked it any darker orange on me. I thought Magnetic Fields would've been a littttllle darker on, but I still really liked it. Liked Evening Aura...so pretty Femme Fi - I loved this...I was trying to match a Mally Beauty eye brightener wand color which I use in the corner lid & under my eye....it matches perfect. The texture is divine! For the bad news: Spaced Out looked nice on my arm...but NOT on my cheeks...turned bad orange - just like Audrey said it did on her. 
Time & Space - pretty on the back of my hand - not on my eye lids

I'll wear it in the warm weather too. We wear dark brown or black eyeliner in warm weather, right? And I'll probably mostly be using this one right along the lash line. LOL at the Halloween comment - it really does look that way, but I'll be depotting it pronto so I don't care.

I ended up returning mine and got a back up of Pleasureseeker instead. I would love to see pictures of people wearing Magnetic Fields, maybe I wasn't applying it properly. |

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth
Ok, so the majority of you ladies love Femme Fi and Evening Aura? I have my MA holding both of those and Time and Space, but I think I will skip Time and Space cause I have Bronze, and everyone says they are super close. But FF and EA are nice enough right? I already have Magnetic Fields.

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth
Audrey you should really swatch Bronze vs T&S when you get there just to be sure you don't want it because to me T&S is quite a bit lighter. My FF is still on the way but EA is the only peachy shadow I've ever found to work on me, so I love it!

Ok, I will definately swatch them
I will probably end up with all 3. I figure it's ok since I am returning the ORANGE blush, and I still have a giftcard too, so I'm going to get them. I just can't resist eyeshadow!

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth
Oh, and one more thing... how are we liking Naked Space l/g? I know I said it was beige instead of peach and I am ok with that... Christineeee_'s swatch is making me want it. Even though I have others similar, I use the same colors all the time, so it wouldn't just sit there. Should I or shouldn't I?

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth
This collection really disappointed me (Ok, I kinda knew it would, since I don't really like neutrals... or orange.) But I was so hoping it would be better than I thought. (Especially since I am such a huge SciFi fan) I took in a paper of swatches of neutrals I own and was actually really surprised how boring the Neo Scifi colors were.
They seemed really run-of-the-mill to me, and easily passable. (Which is good, because more $$ for Cool Heat!!)
But the real disappointment for me was the lippies. I was actually really ready to buy Pink Grapefruit and Soft & Slow. But then I got there and realized Soft & Slow looks almost just like Full on Lust to me! Maybe a little sparklier, but not enough for me to shell out the $14 for another. It's actually what I was hoping Full on Lust would be, but ugh.
I still might get Pink Grapefruit, and I was interested in SciFi-Delity, although that too felt like an average raspberry chrome lipstick. But it was the shadows that really felt like a let-down.

While the MAC colors may look similar to the Stila ones on paper, the texture and pigmentation can make all the difference. I have several Stila shadows that look similar to Mac but the pigmentation isn't nearly as good.

Speaking of de-potting... the orange cases open a little easier than the regular black ones. You open the part between the black plastic and the orange, it's a little different but it pops out very smoothly. They even had less glue on the bottom of the pans, which was nice.

I will definitely depot these.
I want:
-Evening Aura
-Time and Space
-Magnetic Fields
Lippies:
-Sunsonic
And maybe Sci-fidelity. I was fine with skipping the collection, but let's see if I can get these for my birthday.

Evening Aura was a nice surprise for me. I'm afraid of orange
(I'm NW20) and I thought if it was like Samoa Silk, it wouldn't be too bad. It's actually a lot lighter and more neutral than Samoa Silk.
I don't have anything similar, I compared it to Claire du Lune from last year, which is a pinker/peach. Evening Aura is like a lighter, softer Arena.
I'm not being of any help. I don't have an eyeshadow that's similar.

Aww, that really sucks! But I have to say I'm glad to hear it b/c it swatched beautifully on my hand and I aaaaalmost got pulled into buying it, but Magnetic Fields was too stunning, especially w/ Solar Bits brushed over top.
So I went to the Queen Pro store today - I had to return some books at UofT anyway, so why not make a detour to the only location in Toronto that has NSF?
I was planning to get 2 lip exfoliators and 2 face exfoliators but everyone's been raving about Magnetic Fields so much I picked that up and only got 1 lip exfoliator.
Btw, did anyone else in Toronto stop by the Pro store today? There was a lady who came in when I did and made her decision to pick up one e/s and a lippie from NSF so quick I was floored! Like, literally in under a minute. I was in awe cuz I knew I needed at least 15 minutes just to play around with the stuff! She then told me this is her 2nd visit but still, it was cool to see someone snap up products so fast! Anyhoo, if you're on Specktra, hello!

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth
just a reminder to everyone, there is no mask. there are two exfoliators: the microfine lip refinisher and the volcanic ash exfoliator. the VAE is not a mask, and is not to be used as one. you apply it to wet skin, rub for 2 minutes, then rinse. don't let it sit on the skin like you would a mask.

Not me. I was on Bloor, trying out the Tendertones (and didn't get any.) Bloor also has NSF, by the way.
I can't believe I'm the only one who didn't like Magnetic Fields. I returned it!

Re: Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth
OK so I got my haul [the first part] today and thought I would share my opinion! First of all, me and orange are BFFs, so of course I went CRAZY over the packaging, SOOO gorgeous. Here's what I got:
Evening Aura e/s
Magnetic Fields e/s
Expensive Pink e/s
Spaced Out Blush
Summerfruit liner
Plasma Blu nl
My faves were Evening Aura and Spaced out. Like everyone has been saying, Evening Aura is absolutely gorgeous! No orange, just a gorgeous, highly pigmented peach. I was afraid that this eyeshadow would have trouble showing up, but no trouble at all, its beautiful!! Spaced Out is OMG perfect!! I know that Audrey said that it is orangey and yea, it def is, but somehow I still love it!! I think it's cuz I put it on top of [a bit too much] bronzer as opposed to my super pale skin. I totally get why some people wouldn't be crazy over this, but I love it!!! Magnetic Fields is also beautiful, a perfect dark brown, gorgeous crease color. Expensive Pink I love as well, it will be gorgeous with Paradisco and Evening Aura in particular. The cremestick liner I have fallen in love with!! I used it to fill in my lips and then applied Lollipop Loving and Sock Hop on top [ I'm getting Pleasureseeker and Naked Space next week] and it just toned down the pink in my lips and brought out the coral color. And Plasma Blu...well its stunning, I can't WAIT to get a fill-in!!! Overall, I am in love and I can't wait for my makeover and continued haulage next week!!! P.S. My debit card is plotting my death.

Evening aura swatched great...but on my eyes? try invisible. I dont know if this one will worth for me either guys.
Damn you peach! And damn my light skin!
