MAC Neo Sci-Fi and Solar Field Collection Swatches.



This entire collection is very wearable. I'm not really sure what's so "Sci-Fi" about it, but I love it anyway. It's all soft bronzes, coppers, metallics and a touch of orange. The packaging, which I expected to be just plain old orange, is actually BRIGHT neon orange! It's killer, I love it so much. It's like hunting vest orange... OSHA orange? Enough babble, on to the swatches.

Solar Bits - Bronzescape

Solar Bits - Scatterays



Black Ore, Bronzescape, Sunpower, Scatterays

The Solar Bits are kind of confusing. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to use them. They're extremely flaky and shimmery and don't apply very well. When you smooth them down with your fingers it gives a strong, bold metallic look, but only on my finger. The jars are also not completely full- this is normal.

Magnetic Fields


Time and Space



Evening Aura

The eyeshadows have a fantastic silky texture because most of them are Veluxe Pearl. Veluxe Pearl is the best thing ever. I didn't swatch Expensive Pink because it's a permanent and not that exciting. Pretty, but everyone knows what it looks like.



Sci-Fi-Delity


Electro


Sunsonic

I haven't tried the lipsticks on yet, but I love the colors. Electro is not as bright as Vegas Volt.

Last but not least, the polishes...


Phosphor. This is a really unique yellow. It's glowy, almost golden, with subtle shimmer and heavy frost.


Plasma Blu. It has that lit-from-within look that I just adore.


Neon 8. Gorgeous coral orange shade with pinkish duochrome. Reminds me of Misa Bojangles.
