Off to get Neo Sci Fi swatches!

Site News
Christine |

It’s Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly sale, which means my Nordstrom’s is *gasp* already open (and that means I’m late!).  Time to hop on down to get us some swatches!

But how will I avoid all of the shoes?!

*edit* I totally have swatches, a mini-haul, and now I am FURIOUSLY! cropping pictures.  I’ll post them up as soon as I’m done, and then I’ll get to the review 😉  Ahh, ladies, knowing you anticipate my review?  Makes it SO worth it.  Makes me love what I do!

*edit #2* Done, done, & done!

Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Eee can’t wait for your review 🙂

And if you get side-tracked by the shoes & end up with a pair, I want to see pictures!! I’m online shopping the half-yearly sale since I’m stuck at work 🙁

Hey Ariele!

LOL, I perused, but I managed to get away unscathed! Nothing really grabbed my attention. Hilariously enough, a pair of shoes I was considering last time (when I got that pair of sunny yellow shoes), was on sale. I was tempted, but… resisted!

Have fun shopping online 😀 It was a total mad-house this morning!

I can’t wait! I can’t make it down to MAC until Friday so I have 2 days to look at your swatches and decide on what I can’t live without!

YAY! I’ve been waiting for months for this to come out and I’m so excited to read your opinions and see your pictures!

Yay christine! I was anticipating your review of this launch more than the actual launch itself, lol. I knew you were going to tell me what’s what, what works, and what’s worth buying. THANK YOU so much for your swatches. You’re always the first one to have them, and you actually put in real effort and care about your posts. I have saved SO MUCH money by checking out your reviews beforehand. I have been reading your blog everyday since January and it has been my go-to resource for mac beauty buzz. Thank you so much!!! If you are ever in LA we have to go Pro store shopping!

LOL! I am beyond flattered, Pqaunda 😀

I’m so glad that you find my reviews helpful! It makes me smile knowing that they are 🙂

By LA, do you mean Los Angeles or Louisiana? Because Los Angeles, there’s a chance! Louisiana, not so much, lol.

No problem, Christine! 😉
I felt so weird and uninformed about going to go buy stuff form Neo-sci fi without reading your reviews. Again, every launch since Originals I have sat there and read your reviews before heading to International.

Los Angeles, baby!! Pro store love!! If I am up in NorCal, I will holler..although I only get to go to see my fiancees best friend in San Fran!!
