Summer 2008: MAC Solar Field and Future Earth…

Rounding out the summer collections from MAC are Solar Field and Future Earth.  Solar Field is a partial collection and is focused around Solar Bits which combines concentrated amounts of powder pigment with extra extra shimmer to give a sparkly look that is soft and very summery (think shimmery eyes at sunset…NICE!) and bronzing powder.  Future Earth is all about your skin and keeping it smooth for that flawless healthy summer look.  Volcanic Ash is the main focus behind this exfoliator I have been using it for a few days and will be back with my findings in a week or so.

    Hi Girl!

    I am obsessed with that volcanic ash stuff. I got a sample at my local Nordstrom and the girl said “Who knew you could use ash to remove your ash?” I was cracking up.
    Those colors look beautiful, but I am skeered they may be too much for my pale self.
    Have a lovely day Dame L!

    HAHAHA…monkey!!!! Ash to remove your ash is CLASSIC! I have been using it on my elbows and knees (lemons hurt too much…LOL) so we will see so far so good (it smells great). I think you could wear the colors it’s all in the application baby…put a little bit in the top and use a fluff brush for a lighter look trust me ;-)

    I trust, but I am still skeered.
    I have tried to use bright colors before and girl….my car did not need headlights that night–ACK!

    I think I need a tutorial from a makeup artist —Like um…yourself!
