My Mac Heavenly Creature Haul Part 3 - Eyeshadows

Here's the final part of my Mac Heavenly Creature haul, this time it's the mineralize eyeshadows. You may know that I'm a massive fan of them and own almost every one Mac has released. (I didn't get two of the Chen Man ones that were exact dupes of some colours that were released earlier, but that's all.) I did a post on my Mac mineralize eyeshadow stash a while ago, but of course I have even more now. And of course I had to buy all 9 eyeshadows in the Heavenly Creature collection too.


I have to add that I have not used them all yet, but I have swatched them and they all seem very nice. Some are more shimmery than others (Invincible Light in particular is rather shimmery and frosty), but some are more satiny than anything. The colour payoff is very good, they are all really nicely pigmented. The ones I wore stayed on without creasing and fading for 10+ hours and there was only very mininmal fallout and that was only during application which is not a big deal for me at all.

The beauty of these mineralized eyeshadows is that you get 3 different colours swirled into one pot and they can create multidimensional colours, and also of course you can use them separately if you get large enough patches. Some of mine have really nice large patches, especially my Water with the big yellow patch in the middle and I've been able to use the separate colours in my Neo Nebula and Bright Moon as well. Of course the swirls also mean they are really pretty and nice to look at.

These Mac mineralize eyeshadows cost £16.50 and you get 2 g which is a bit smaller than some other mineralize eyeshadows (normally 2.2 g), but still rather large and they will last you absolutely forever.

See lots more pictures including swatches and a look I did, after the jump!

Here are the swatches. These were done dry with a finger mixing all 3 colours together. Please note that depending on the combination of colours and swirls, colours will vary. Of course you can also pick out individual colours if you prefer. Also using the eyeshadows wet will intensify the colours.

Finally here's the look I created using the turquoise shade in Bright Moon and the lighter pink and darker pink shades in Neo Nebula, with Invincible Light on the browbone to highlight. I used all the eyeshadows dry. On the cheeks I'm wearing Supernova blush with Light Year MSF on top.

  1. Great haul! I actually skipped most of Heavenly Creatures and only purchased an MSF for my collection. I like how the mineralize eyeshadows are really great for all over lid colours with liner and lashes :) You have amazing lashes!
