Cloudy Afternoon, Daylight, In The Sun, Summer Haze, and Twilight Falls

Cloudy Afternoon is a light silvered grey with green, pink, white, brown, and blue veining. When swirled together, it looks like a light silvered taupe with cool sage green undertones in a frosted finish. It has a pretty effect, as it can look more silver or brown with green or blue undertones in different lighting. The texture is soft and smooth, and it has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is darker and more grey than Filament, and more silver than Vex.

Daylight is a light-medium peachy pink with blue-violet veining. When swirled together, it looks like a light-medium pinked lavender in a frosted finish. The texture is soft and smooth, and it has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is darker and more purple than Seedy Pearl, and more pink than Crystal.

In The Sun is a medium warm gold with bronze and deep red veining. When swirled together, it looks like a medium copper with gold sparkle in a frosted finish. The texture is slightly gritty due to the larger glitter used in this so there is some fall-out, but it does apply evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is less pink than Mythology, and lighter and much less intense than Coppering.

Summer Haze is a pale cream with bronze veining. When swirled together, it looks like a light champagne beige in a metallic finish. The texture is silky soft and smooth, and it has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is less yellow than Ricepaper, less pink than All That Glitters, and darker than Dazzlelight.

Twilight Falls is a dark mauve with dark brown and bronze veining. When swirled together, it looks like a dark cool brown in a metallic finish. The texture is soft and smooth, and it has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is darker and more brown than Satin Taupe, and much darker than Haux.

I thought MAC did a great job with the Mineralize Eyeshadows in this collection. Despite In The Sun having some fall-out issues, all five shades go on very well, with great colour pay-off. You can wet these to make them look more intense and metallic, but they go on quite pigmented dry. Daylight and Cloudy Afternoon seem to be the more unique shades of the bunch, and Summer Haze seemed to go on the smoothest, but they are all lovely. Provided that you don't already have similar colours, these are definitely worth looking at if you're a fan of Mineralize or frosted eyeshadows.
