MAC - Neo Sci-fi, Solar Field, And Future Earth Discussion

[Marberry]

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

Yesterday I've got Evening Aura, Magnetic Fields and Expensive Pink (since I don't have it). Time and Space is really pretty as well, but I swatched it next to Woodwinked which I have - they look close, but T&S has more red and a little bit darker than Woodwinked. I personally liked that, but decided no to buy because there are so many collections to check out

Oh, also I've got Pleasureseeker which I LOVED! Now I'm thinking about Naked Space l/g (I liked it over Pleasureseeker) and Spaced Out blush (no orange on me!).

Is Sunsonic comparable to Tanarama?

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

So if Femme Fi is more golden cream, how does it compare to Vanilla pigment? And is it comparable to Solar White?

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

Now, I didn't read this entire thread, but I have seen NO love for X-Rocks blush! My counter is getting Neo Sci-Fi on Thursday so I pre-ordered everything I wanted last week. X-Rocks looked so gorgeous, why isn't it popular?

I also ordered: Evening Aura e/s, Sci-fi-delity l/s, Soft & Slow l/g, and one other thing I've completely forgotten right now. Haha. ;P

LOL Yeah really - I bought a backup (thought about getting 2 backups but I only got one...) but mainly I was worried that after a while it would go bad or something? How long can the product last if you keep it unopened?

*Edit* Okay I am answering my own question here but I just had a live chat to ask this question and the person told me that once you open the jar, you can keep it for up to 2 years.

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

I'm still waiting for my package

For some reason, MAC orders have been taking a day or two longer to get out, I might as well have waited till Thursday. As much as I'm looking forward to everything though, i'm not at all excited about the orange packaging. I hope I won't end up sticking these at the back of the drawer like I did with all my Lure stuff, but I think that had to do with me not liking the colours more than the packaging. I'm actually looking forward to some nice warm neutrals.

i so agree about pink grapefruit. Everyone loves this lipglass but you know what it was a dark orange on me. And thats not cute

I will make it work I'm sure, but i don't see whats so special about it.

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

Has anybody tried pressing the Solar Bits like some people press pigments? I wonder if they would work out since everyone says the best pressed pigments are the ones that "ball up". Plus, it might be easier to work with!!! Somebody please try this!!! I just ordered 3 solar bits from eBay & i will pick up Black Ore when its released here on Thursday but i'm really curious about this! Thanks!

I'm sure you can pull it off! When I first tried it I got the orange frost bomb look too, but to counter the frostyness I tried filling my lips with Dervish or Pink Treat then applied PG. That helped reduce the frost. On its own though I apply a thin layer of lip conditioner then the gloss. The LC adds more slip to my lips so the pearl particles disperse better. Try one or the other out..maybe it'll help.

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

Late to the game yet again, but Evening Aura is more peachy than orange right? Time & Space is more like Bronze? I have Bronze but how do they differ from each other? Sorry guys I've tried to read as much of the thread as I can but I've been too busy lately. Hehe. Thanks!!

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

Time and space is a darker version of woodwinked, it really is. I thought everyone was joking until I saw it in person. It is nowhere near as dark as bronze (in its bronziness). It is beautiful and with Magnetics Fields, it is the hotness.

This is the perfect summer collection. Now do I get a backup of Magnetic fields, Hmmm?

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

I had such a weird dream last night
I had black ore solar bits, and when i opened it up.. it was full of gold leaf and a few black solar bits and i tried applying them on my eye and it was going gold not black
weird dream glad im not the only one that dreams of MAC though lol

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

Patty0411 - thank you for the kind swatches of Evening Aura, Mythology, Honey Lust, and Amber Lights! Very very helpful.

I went to the counter by my job yesterday during lunch and they won't have it out until tomorrow! *waits patiently* Though I might break down and check the MAC store and two other counters at the mall by my house tonight - they usually put them out early.

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

Woo hoo! Got my goodies today, Magnetic Fields, Time & Space and Femme Fi e/s, Soft & Slow l/g, Sunsonic l/s and the VAE.

You guys weren't kidding about the orange, it is so much brighter than how it appears in any pics online, but it is strangely attractive in a funky way! I actually prefer it to the metallic aqua packaging for the Lure Collection. The orange kinda clashes with the plummy colour of the lipglass, but it doesn't look too bad with the eyeshadows. My initial impression on everything is that I am really going to like all of what I got! The eyeshadows all look like perfect neutrals, not too warm at all. I was on the fence about ordering Magnetic Fields, but just looking at it in the pot, i am very glad i did. Can't wait to play with everything

At least i won't have any difficulty finding any of these products in my traincase, the packaging just screams "pick me, pick me"!!!

time & space is the baby of bronze and woodwinked. it falls right in between the two.
