I went to Macy's to check out the collection and the MA told me that they would be getting it in next week but Nordstrom had it so I ended up going there.
I got:
-Spaced Out blush - WOW!....this is everything I expected it to be. The perfect peach blush. It has ultra fine shimmer. When I swiped my finger on it, I can see a bit of a pink frost on my finger but the pink is not noticeable when applied on my face. I will definitely need to get a back up for this.....maybe two. ;) So pretty!!

-Supreme l/g - this is a very nice shimmery bronze gloss. It's not too dark nor too light. I think it would great to wear over l/s during the summer.

-Magnetic Field e/s - I debated on getting this when I saw it but when I saw the light hit it, I went ahead ang purchased it. It's a greyish-deep purpley-brown shade with lots of shimmer. I think it would be great for a smokey eye.

The other e/s looked nice too but, to me, seemed like similiar colors I already have. "Evening Aura" reminded me of "Say, Yeah!" and "Time and Space" reminded me of "Romp."
"Soft & Slow" l/g seemed similiar to "Adventuresome" l/g which I already own. "Pink Grapefruit" was super pretty but I don't think I can pull it off so I passed on it.

Nice haul, Claudia! I haven't checked out Neo Sci-fi yet, but I was thinking I'd want all the e/s other than Expensive Pink since I already have it. From the descriptions, I was thinking they might be similar to e/s I already own or those from the permanent line, so I'll decide when I see them in person. I just love Veluxe Pearls though, so it's going to be hard to say no!

Nice haul, Claudia! I'm still going to check out this collection even though I've convinced myself I won't want anything, LOL. Magnetic Field eyeshadow sure does sound gorgeous though!

FWIW, I had Adventuresome lipglass before (I used it all up, oh how I loved that shade) and I got Soft & Slow when it was out with a previous collection. The two are nothing alike on my lips. Adventuresome was a plum shade on me and Soft & Slow is a deep pink shade. I'm not trying to enable or anything, but your lips may be more pigmented than mine so maybe they appear similar.

Great haul! I got the exact same blush and e/s as you and they are pretty!! I think the rest of the e/s from this collection aren't that unique, they all look very familiar. I do love the neon orange packaging, it's scream SUMMER to me, lol. Enjoy!

Sorry I'm just replying to this. I was away for the three day weekend. :)
I tested Soft & Slow at the counter and it's not exactly like Adventuresome but very similiar on me. It does show up pinkish plum on me, whereas, Adventuresome is a little less pink but still plum toned. I guess I didn't find Soft & Slow different enough to justify purchasing it. :)
