And here they are (top to bottom, left to right): Smutty Green, Blue Flame, Cinderfella, Young Punk and Gilt By Association. They are all black based with different colour shimmer/pearl. When applied dry, there isn't a huge difference between then because you manily see the sheer black colour, but when applied wet, the colours really come through and these eyeshadows really come to life. I have swatched them both dry and wet for you, so be sure to have a look as they are gorgeous when used wet.
When used dry, there's definitely some fall out from these eyeshadows, but if you use them wet or on a very sticky base, the fall out is minimal. I know mineralize eyeshadows aren't for everyone, but I have to say that these are something different. I think at the very least worth checking out in person if you can.
These mineralize eyeshadow duos cost £16.50 each and they are slightly larger than regular Mac eyeshadows at 2.2g each.

Young Punk looks amazing but I only use one of my mineralize eye shadows regularly so I think I'll skip these.
ReplyDeletewow beautiful colors
ReplyDeleteHi! Your swatches are great! They really show the textures and glittery effect very well! I was wondering if you have seen the new ones in person? If so, how do they compare to the original Style Black ones? I have the original ones but I've read somewhere that the new ones are more glittery and that is setting my heart a-pounding!
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't really had a look at those since I was busy geting the new ones I didn't own, but I will go to the counter on Thursday and report back. ;)
DeleteThank you so much! I'm looking forward to your updated review!
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know, I had a look and the new eyeshadows seem to have less black and more colour to them, so they swatch more colourful too. Or rather lighter gray with more coloured sparkles. I don't think it's a huge difference, but they are definitely lighter. Hope this helps.
DeleteI love Young Punk but I rarely use it, so I might skip this one. Although....Gilt By Association does seem like a color I would use frequently for evening looks.
