Solar Field is another one of those must see collections... but really? Does MAC ever make collections that do other than spike the curiosity in all of us?
The Solar Bits are pigment-like creations but are more chunkier than your normal pigments. This is due to the dual-mode application that these hot little numbers pack. As MAC says, you can either
- "swish the brush over the top of the clusters for a sheer shimmer or
- crush them for more intense colour effect and sparkle."
They also are packaged in a container similar to the MAC Lip Conditioner instead of the pigment jar. The wider opening will definitely make this product much easier to use.
My pick? I'm a sucker for them all, but if I could only pick one, then Black Ore it is. But wait! Bronzescape is pretty too...
As for the Solar Field Bronzing Powders, they very much compliment the whole "alternate sun power" theme. With the weather starting to warm up, tans are on the loose and these bronzers will help to kiss the skin with that same thought in mind.
My pick? I personally like Refined Golden for that nice touch of sun against my skin. For the lighter skinned folks, a slight sweep of Solar Riche is tender enough and inviting.
So how 'bout it? Is MAC's Solar Field Collection on your list also?

I only pick up like one or two things and thats about it. like the NN collection i only picked up illegal cargo and shore leave, love illegal cargo btw. and the neo sci-fi line i saw it in the stores and nothing popped out at me, but then i saw how pretty pleasureseeker is on everyone now i have to run out and get that one. wish i could buy more tho! but nothing popps out and says OH I NEED THAT lol...
this excites me!
thanks for the swatches sister! You and I have the same skintone so your swatches are a great reference for me:) thanks
Call me crazy, but I found the solar bits harder to use than pigments! They're great colors, but I doubt I'd be able to use them without getting it all over the place.
Both bronzers were pretty, but turned orange on me. :\ I'm tempted to get them for the compact, though, hahaha.
oooohhhh, i MUST have black ore, now!!!!
I must say I LOVE you're blog!! I keep going back and forth about the solar bits but I think I'll give in now after reading so many reviews! haha.
Hi Xuanie! It has been a while but you know I'm always glad to hear from you when time permits :)
I think that your wallet is probably loving the fact that you don't want to take anything home. I on the other hand just want to "collect everything". But I'll admit that I've been very contained these past few releases *high five*
So how are things, hun? I hope all is well.
Hi BeautyTalk,
Did you end up getting any of the Solar Bits?
Of course Distinque :) You know I got your back girl. How are you doing anyhow? Did you move into your new place yet?
Hiya Emilee,
The Solar Bits are definitely harder to use because they are much chunkier than the formulation of pigments. I know when I was swatching them that I had to stick my finger against the side of the jar to get it to stick. But they sure are pretty, hah.
How is your week going so far?
OMG (g)! Black Ore is a definite MUST HAVE!! I hope you've already placed your order now...
Hi Neeyuh,
Thanks sweetie for stopping by and for your loving words on the blog :)
I think you should get Black Ore (although I'd really just tell you to get them all, lol!). I mean, aren't they just the prettiest little things?
What did you think of the other releases that MAC came out with this month?
