) i don't think you'll be able to find all of them in the pro store, i'm just being greedy. the ones in the brackets don't belong to the regular pro line
orange: neo-orange vs. genuine orange/acid orange/organge eyeshadow (MUFE star powder 952)
purple: full force violet vs. marine ultra/viole/cornflower/Atlantic Blue eyeshadow (royal blue)
green: green space vs. emerald green/landscape green/bio-green eyeshadow (original green pigment)
pink: red electric vs. electric coral/dusty coral/cool pink (pink vivid)
magenta: magenta madness vs. bright fuschia/Post Haste eyeshadow (MUFE star powder 951)
yellow: rock-it yellow vs. primary yellow/ ChromeYellow eyeshadow/Bright Sunshine eyeshadow
love you forever if you could swatch any of them for us

Ok ladies, went to the store. Picked them all up and swatched them with comparisons. To be quite honest, none of them look like any of the pigments pro or regular. These neons are completely unique.
Uploading swatches now
Will post more when I am done with the swatches

My thoughts exactly!! Even tho most people will prob just go ahead and use them on eyes, where does MAC expect you to use them if they say eyes are a no go??!! Seriously?! Especially the yellow!?? Are we painting or something?

I actually addressed this with the ma working at the store.
These unfortunately are not eye safe for your standard consumer. For the makeup professional however these are great as the product in general is pure unadulterated color. The ma said if you don't have adverse reactions to a particular intense eyeshadow color (like red) then you should be ok with the neon pigment. Of course be careful when applying and for heavens sake if you have sensitive skin don't go neon happy!
On to comparisons. A lot of you asked and I delivered. I even had a look at the jars and compared them to the other pigments (not on the list) Nothing comes close to these neons. The only slight similarity I saw was between marine ultra and the violet. Both in the blue family but marine has green undertones whereas the violet has purple undertones. Primary yellow is similar to the rock it yellow only slightly. Primary is more of a mustard green whereas rock it is more canary. Swatches will be up in a moment!
All the others didn't come close. A huge reason is texture. For example, electric coral is a metallic whereas the neo-orange is matte etc.

I use non-eye safe pigments all the time, just not on the waterline I find all pigments hurt like hell when used on the waterline.
I've falling in love with the pink orange and magenta.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh, why do they make such gorgeous pigments that you can't use on your eyes or lips? (except for the green one I believe) What is the point of them? For what else could I possible use it? Wellllllll, I have an idea! But nobody is going to see it since I'm not going to be walking around butt naked with the flower on my behind drawn with this wonderful neon pigments.

Well said. Obviously proceed at your own risk, but you can do a few things to be safer. Do a patch test, wear a good base under the pigment and keep it out of the eye and waterline area. I plan on using them on my eyes.
Because the are marked as "Not eye safe" does not necessarily mean that. It just means that they haven't been tested for such.

I'm wearing these on my eyes right now, and so far they are fine. I'm just using a lot of bases in-between these and my eye and not using them on my water line. so far so good, as I have used other pigments (metals and other mattes) that are not eye safe before on my eyes. I'm not to overly worried about it, however on the off chance I do have any reaction I'll post about that as well and let you all know.

I don't know if they are out though that number just yet, I know I called the pro store up in LA to get the one that my store didn't have in stock yet and I was told there that they weren't selling these pigments for another 3 weeks.
as of right now it seems as though the pro store in southern cali (south coast plaza) and NY are the stores that have them out at the moment.
so you could try ordering them directly from the stores

They should ship it anywhere. I have never had any problems with LA or NYC sending shipments to me in various states. They will charge you shipping though. I think they charge people $5-$7.
