MAC Solar Field & Neo Sci-Fi Collection

I know, I know, I am lagging on replying back to some of you, I am trying! But there's just so much to do all at once that sometimes it slips my mind! I will try and answer many of your questions today and tomorrow. :)

I took some swatches of the newest collection from MAC. My official take on it (product review) won't be completed until tomorrow night because I ordered mine online (the eyeshadows and pigments) and it is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, but I was able to snag a couple of the lipsticks that I didn't add to cart previously: Sci-Fi Delity and Pleasureseeker.

Some of you didn't like the bright neon orange packaging, and I am not a fan of orange either, BUT I must say I like that it's bright because it helps me differentiate which lipsticks are what compared to the other lipsticks I have, especially the normal sleek black MAC tubes. It makes it a lot easier to just see it. Grab it. And go!

I swatched the blushes and the lipglasses on my right hand, and then I forgot about it and it wiped off somewhere... :(











This is Sci-Fi Delity mixed with the gorgeous glaze lipstick, Pleasureseeker.


"Evening Aura" is also "Femme Fi", I didn't realize the MUA was using Evening Aura on someone and just replaced it with another Femme Fi (argh I hate when they do that! LOL)




The receptionist said I had a delivery of flowers. I didn't think it was from the BF because he's not THAT romantic, it's not my birthday (yet), and it's not Valentine's Day (LOL), unless I was dying and I didn't know! I then thought it was from my dad since my birthday is around the corner (June 1st), but I know he wouldn't send it TOO early, but alas! It was indeed from the BF with a card that read, "Just Because I love you! -Romeo". (Yes, that's his real name, LOL)

Awwww it was VERY sweet, even though I must admit I thought it was fishy, so much so that I immediately called him and said "What did you do? Did you break one of my eyeshadows? Did you sleep with someone?" LOL. He was like "NO! It's because I love you!" LOL.

It was a HUGE martini glass with two straws, just in time for margaritas in Vegas! (Even though I can't drink since im allergic to alcohol! Phooey!)

    awww....your bf is so sweet. i remember my fiance (he was my bf at the time) came to my house EARLY one morning with roses. i was like, "what's this for?" and he said, "i had a dream that you left me..." lol. he's funny. he's always bribing me with makeup to cook for him and of course i don't refuse! i'll buy making even w/o cooking for him. one day ups just barely left our apartment and he saw them drive away and he was like, "i know that ups man just dropped you off makeup. what'd you get." lol. i tried to play it off but i can't lie!

    I love the fact that "Did you break one of my eyeshadows?" lines comes before "Did you sleep with someone?"

    ROFL

    nice swatches, thank you Nessa!

    thanks for getting back to me! you're so sweet. i went on their website last night and got the buttery gold and then got a packet of the warm gold. i figured i would just mix those together and come up with a formula so i don't get too much yellow. i think i'll tweak the formula till i find something that matches. i was gonna buy pleasure seeker! i like how it looks on you. i was gonna get it online but i was like, "i'll get it in vegas when i go!" lol

    I think it's funny you asked him if he broke one of your eyeshadows before you asked if he slept with someone! lol

    Aww, your boyfriend's a keeper! But I'm sure you knew that before the flowers. :P

    Sci-fi-Delity is such a beautiful lipstick, although it reminded me a bit of Fresh Moroccan from a while back. Thanks for the comprehensive review!

    I love pleasureseeker! but I have a weird question: why does the tips of the lipstick seem to have something on them? cause they look really pale in the pics!

    Thanks loves! Glad you are all getting a lil something from this collection! And yeah the BF tries to be sweet! LOL.

    Tiffany- That's because I used the lipstick on my lips and THEN took pics of it, I just couldn't wait!
