aww, i kinda think everything except that bright blue nail polish is a bit disappointing 🙁
i mean they’re only product photos, but nothing screams out ‘BUY ME!’
Hey Laura! I really hope these are as off as normal promo pics are, ha!
the tube thingy looks like it might be lip exfoliator/conditioner – ???
Yep, that’s what I’m thinking. It fits with the whole Volcanic Ash Exfoliator, LOL.
wow…I’m really disappointed…the colours are all very very warm! usually MAC has a good balance of warm and cool colours, but this collection is obviously aimed at people who can pull off warm colours. BIG disappointment! and the container colour, orange???!! really don’t like that. Wow, MAC, what is going on?
It’s going to be interesting to see this one in person, and I am personally hoping that there is a substantial difference in real life, or at least when used!
Thanks for these pics Christine…I am wondering about the mystery products now. I must say I am already interested in the lipsticks, especially the hot coral one 🙂
No problem! I don’t think they’re part of the Neo Sci-Fi launch, but I don’t know what story they’d be for. I think maybe a smaller, mini-launch!
is this all there is ?? no blushes or bronzer?
idk about the orange packaging
Hi Gracee – there are going to be eyeshadows and blushes. I know Specktra.net has the list of products coming out, and I think Christine posted it here too sometime last week? (I can’t remember, LOL)
I think the info about what is known is that there will be eyeshadows, probably five (typical launch). It’s releasing around when C-Shock did, so I expect a similar line up in terms of types of products and numbers!
Hey Gracee! There will probably be other things, like eyeshadows and blushes, etc. This is just what I saw for now!
the lip thingy is definitely a lip exfoliator/lip conditionner, and there’s also a body exfoliator made of volcanic ash, which is suppose to be good for the skin with all the natural minerals…
Yeah, I wonder how much they’re going to charge for Volcanic Ash ;D
Thank you so much for these pics! I’m interested in the Yellow and Blue Nail Lacquers, and possibly the lip exfoliator, as long as it is under $15.
This collection looks okay to me.
My pleasure, hun! 🙂 I wonder how pigmented the yellow lacquer will be!
I think I’ll be passing on this collection…
Hopefully swatches and real life photos will urge people to at least check it out when the date it launches comes closer.
i am ALL OVER that yellow nail polish lol!!
LOL!! Talk about bright and definitely a summer YELLOW!
IM GONNA BE SO BROKE THIS SUMMER
“IM GONNA BE SO BROKE THIS SUMMER”
truer words never spoken =/
LOL, I know, right? 🙁 Poor wallets.
poor Lone 🙂 LOL
LOL, Lone. You won’t be alone, at least? 😉
The lipglasses and lip conditioner are so mine!
Looks interesting! Not much of a brown lipstick kind of girl, but will most definately check it out. I wrote a post about my makeup infatuation and how it quickly grew when I stumbled upon your blog. I’ve linked you. Check it out!
Hey Tiffany! I’m not a brown lipstick girl either, so I’m hoping these photos are inaccurate as promo photos typically are!
I would wear every one of those lip product colors. uh oh!
Wow! Then this launch was definitely made for you 😀
the orange lipstick is hot!
I wonder if it’s anything like Morange…
I love the packaging! For that alone I must have something of this collection! Ohh I´m exited!
I’m glad you’re feeling the packaging, Nell! A lot of people aren’t from what I’ve been hearing.
OMG this line looks AWESOME. I seriously might buy all of the lacquers, especially that yellow one. I’m an NC27 and these colors are right up my alley. That Sci-Fu-Delity looks AMAZING. I’m actually really excited about the orange packaging. So summery.
As far as the mystery stuff…maybe it’s part of the Skinsheen collection? Maybe stuff to exfoliate and then bronze yourself?
I don’t think I could do a bright yellow for nails myself, but there’s definitely a buzz brewing over it 🙂
It could be! I’m pretty sure it’s not part of Neo Sci-Fi, but definitely the same time frame for launching I would say!
I have a Pink Grapefruit lipglass already. Do you know if this is a re-promote? Thanks. Any idea when this is coming out?
It is probably a re-promote 🙂 May for this one, I believe around the end of.
No one seems to like the warm colors, but has a woman of color, I am lovin’ this! Fafi and Heatherette just weren’t made for us so this is right up my alley!
And I’m lovin’ the yellow polish!
I love warm colors myself 🙂
Charged water! Oh joy! I’m also looking forward to trying the lipsticks.
I’m sooo passing on the Charged Water, LOL.
Is this coming out this Thursday?
Hi Denise, no it isn’t. This is slated for end of May, I believe!
Soft and Slow is the same name they used for a lipglass during Smoke Signals. I remembered because it was one of my faves.
Yep! That’s true – I think it may be a repromote.
I think that Soft and Slow is the third from the left just for future reference.
How they’re listed in the text is how they’re shown in the photos (left to right/top to bottom).
I think the orange is kind of cool. The black makes it a little bit extreme, and sort of haloweeny, but maybe if they used gold instead of black it’d be less severe. Either way, since when were we really in this for the packaging? If you can pull off “bronzed goddess”, this is the collection for you!
Some of us are into launches JUST for the packaging, but I agree, none of us are here just for packaging in general, LOL. We will make excuses just to buy if the packaging is cute though ;P
I expect quality packaging but never do I care what it looks like…
Hey Whitney! There are a good amount of people who do care about what it looks like – it doesn’t mean they won’t buy it necessarily, you know?
Hey Cristine,
Oh girl IM LUVING that YELLOW BUZZING TO MATCH IT WITH THAT ORANGE LIPSTICK,MY EVER FAVOURITE COMBINATION!!!!I JUST TOTALYYYYYYYYYY LUV YELLOW LACQUER’SSSSS!!!:)) it looks so like MODERN to me.
Luv..
Zzainy.
Hey Zainy!
This sounds like a launch for you then!
I’m waiting for the swatches. Can’t underestimate the muddy tones. I like the orange and black package, though.
Exactly! I have to hold out til I see it in person myself!
Oh yuck, I hate the orange containers. I like the sound of the peachy colours though and the yellow polish looks very appealing! Thanks for the info/pics.
I hope they’re cuter in real life, which I’m sure they will be! I’ve always found that things look better in person rather than promo shots!
The lipglosses look ok.
Lol my 4yr old brother came running in and saw the yellow & blue nailpolish and screamed “Thats for the Wiggles show!!” Ha it was cute, I needed to share.
Aww, that’s so adorable!! What a cutie 🙂
i love the nailpolish so amazing
thnx alot temp
It’s my pleasure to share, Kontaisa!
I LOVE THOSE LIPPIES!!
VERY NICE ORANGE!!
Sunsonic n Pleasureseeker look very interresting for me!
Must b a nice color for summer!
I guess I would pick only the lippies, as my cash has gone with Heatherette lol
LOL! At least you have some time to save up – not til May!
I really hope there will be also bronzers or eyeshadows in another part of the three part collection.
There will definitely be shadows, no worries!
Wow – totally love it especially the orange lippy and the yellow nailpolish!!
Hey Shar! Seems like those two are creating quite the buzz!
OMG. Well, I’m not usually a fan of beige colors, but there seems to be a couple of lipglasses I might be willing to try. Sadly, that orange packaging is just the right color to make me puke. 🙁
Maybe it’ll sway you when you see it in real life? I’m hoping to be more enthused when I get to swatching!
I LOVE this packaging. I will likely be getting all of the lip items!!! I just seriously hope their are some cheek products in this line too! This line seems like it will standout from all of the constant barrages of bronz-y, boring summer releases by the other big names.
Awesome, Annie! I’m glad this collection has your name written all over it 🙂
OMG!!!! What a collection!!!
I love those beige colours and I love also the lip conditioner! I’ve a similar product (by Kenzo) and it is very useful!
I’m definitely looking forward the exfoliating stuff… just out of sheer curiosity!
wow I love the plasma blue nail polish!!!!
It’s soo vibrant!! It’ll be a conversation starter, lol!
looks like some people love it and some really don’t, and not much in between… I guess I belong in the really don’t section, but I sort of hope the tables will be turned with Naughty Nauticals 🙂
Definitely! I have to see it in person before I lean one way or the other!
I like the lip conditioner as well as the volcanic ash exfoliator, other than that, this collection doesnt do anything for me. 🙁
IAWTC.
I don’t think those will be part of Neo Sci-Fi – probably another smaller skincare launch during the same time, though.
I actually love the orange packaging because orange is one of my favorite colors, however, the colors of the lip glasses just do NOT seem to vibe with the orange with me. Maybe it’s just my monitor .. or the promo pics can seem rather off.
Promo pics are definitely off, at least by MAC, so it’s not just your computer!
I feel precisely the same way!
These colours look very warm and very interesting. Some folks are complaining that the colours are too warm but it looks like MAC is bringing out a warm line and a cool line for the summer. Love the orange and black packaging.
That’s true – Naughty Nauticals is pretty cool compared to most launches!
Ooh! Looks lovely! That volcanic thingamabob sounds neat, almost like a soothing body scrub!
Yeah, I wonder how that’s going to work! I like that they’re expanding their skincare line!
so much GOLD!!! I LOVE GOLD!!!!!
LOL! Me too, but I’m not sure how I feel about this color story yet. I have to say… need to see it in person for sure before I can make any decisions!
As long as it is shades of gold – I am happy! I like that orange gold one –
Me too 🙂 I’m all about anything gold.
I think this collections is targeted for us WOC (women of color), who can pull off orange and brown lipcolors, that is probably why there is no eyeshadows to go with it, because it is a small collection.
I am definitely looking forward to it. I will buy at least 3 l/s just from this picture
Hey Kaye! There are eyeshadows to come, they just don’t have pictures of them out yet!
That orange is ohhhhhhhhh too much for me.It’s kind of cute.It’s going to have to grow on me.I’m kind of feeling the nail laquers though!
I know what you mean! The packaging has me quirkin’ my brow, but the colors look hot for nails!
Ew. *lol* The packaging alone looks pretty hideous… as do most of the colors. Hm. I know how off product photos usually are though, so I’ll reserve my judgment. Hehe. Thanks for the sneak peak though 😉
You’re not the only who has been all ‘WHOA!’ at the packaging color choice, lol.
This is why I visit your site everyday. You come out
with first pics of the upcomming collections. I’m loving everything.
Aww, thanks Christina 😀 Appreciate the support!
Looks like a summer collection Bronze-like
I love the orange !
Definitely for summer, Ricci!
I wish the lip conditioner is *NOT* 2-sided. I already have the Tarte version and it is a mess to use because it breaks so easily 🙁
Uh oh! Let’s hope this one doesn’t break so easily 🙁 I, too, would have chosen a dual ended stick rather than together.
I love the blue nail polish. I had an ancient bottle of a makeup line sold at H&M (I bough it at least 6 years ago) and loved that seems very similar to that color.
Ohh, at least nail polish has a longgg shelf life 🙂
I squeaked happily when I saw this picture. ORANGE PACKAGING!!! My absolute favourite colour. Sci-fu-delity looks fun… I’m looking forward to seeing more of the collection.
Yayy! 🙂 I’m so glad that you’re lovin’ the orange!
Thanks for the pics!!! Cannot wait to see the e/s colors:)
My pleasure, hun! Hopefully we’ll see them soon!
I like the look of these especially the orange packaging! but don’t know how wearable the lip colours will be for me…but I am loving the preliminary photos…can’t wait to see more!
Awesome! It’s good to hear from people who are liking the packaging 😀
I do use MAC, I’m a makeup junkie! But I do feel as if MAC recycles alot of their color stories and I feel a bit dissapointed myself. Lip exfoliators, volcanic ash, etc.!!!??? These are products that have already come out from lesser known brands awhile back ago!
Hey Raquel G! It’s pretty hard to be innovative in a market that comes out with more new products than ANY other industry except for dry grocery goods!
As a warm/golden/yellow girl, this is right up my alley. Thank God, lol.
Awesome! I’ve been hearing from a lot of WOC who are hoping this collection suits them better than the latest ones have.
I like the orange packaging, but boy does it clash with the actual product colours!! I hope it looks better IRL.
They shoulda put it for Halloween, hello, black and orange ;D
WOC here. I think I will be buying lots from this collection: the last few collections haven’t been particularly WOC friendly. And I love the orange packaging: way better than the Pepto Bismol pink of Heatherette!
Hey hun! That’s what I’ve heard from other WOC! I hope it works for the darker complexions 😀
The yellow lacquer has my name on it! Yip. definitely.
Woo! You’re going to wear it, right? Totally rock it out? I’m tempted to buy it, but I don’t think I’d ever wear it, LOL.
The orange packaging is hideous.
It seems like it’s a love it or hate it feeling with the packaging!
I’ll be completely honest. I love the lipstick packaging and I’m totally going to buy a lipstick just because of that. I’m sure one of them will look good on me 🙂
Good to hear it, Dee 🙂 I’m sure MAC execs didn’t predict such an instantaneous love/hate relationship with the packaging alone with this launch!
I like the lip exfoliator, Pinked Grapefruit and the turquoise nail lacquer!!
It’ll be interesting to see how the skin care stuff works out!
The only thing i would buy from this collection is the soft & slow lipglass
It’s a pretty beige/nude color 🙂
I love packaging of any other color. It makes it easier to find what I’m looking for in a sea of MAC black lipstick cases.
Haha, so very true, Jillyb!
yes! nothing that screams buy me. i am interested in that lip exfoliator and ash exfoliator. any idea on how much those are going to be?
No clue, hun. I think the lip exfoliator will be around $15-16. I expect the ash one to be $30 at least.
When the collection is going to be released?
End of May, I believe!
THIS IS DEFINATLEY VERY **SCI FI** LIKE lol. GORGOUSE!!
I AM ALSO CURIOUS ABOUT THE OTHER PRODUCTS, HMM THE LIP CONDITIONER LOOKS GREAT
**I GET CHAPPED LIPS VERY EASILY, SO I NEED TO ALWAYS HAVE THEM MOISTURIZED :[ **
–THANKZ TEMPTALIA!
Me, too. My lips are terrible! I always carry a chapstick in my pocket for last minute moisturization!
I want the yellow polish! I will be dissappointed if it is sheer though, I am tired of a pretty color now showing up on nails.
Me too! I’d like these to be INTENSE! just as they look in the bottle.
I am really excited about this mostly because I can pull off warm colors and I love the orange packaging. Very cute and fun!
I think Neo Sci Fi is going to surprise a lot of people!
hmm.
i love the orange packaging.
actually love it. orange is good.
i’m gna defo go for electro and the lip exfoliatory thingy.
what is charged water?
sounds crap!
That’s great! I’m glad you like the packaging!
Charged Water is mineral infused water.
