Mary Kay has added 5 new shades to their Mineral Eye Color line for Summer 2014. These shadows offer long-lasting pigmentation that blends easily, and stays true to colour. Mary Kay Eye Colors are sold in 0.05oz rectangular pans for $8, and will fit into most freedom palettes. The formula is creamy and blendable, with no chalkiness or fallout. These mineral based shadows have the added benefits of Vitamin A, C, and E.

I like the small pan size and that they are sold individually, so you can mix and match to create your ideal palette. However, if you don't have a freedom palette then you will have to get one, or keep them in their original packaging. I actually prefer to just keep them in their original containers.

The pigmentation of these shadows are quite impressive. They blend effortlessly, and the colour payoff is amazing. These swatches were made with 1 to 2 swipes, and the formula was soft and creamy.

French Roast is a dark brown with gold shimmer.
Rosegold is more of a golden brown with a metallic finish. I was hoping for a true rosegold, but this is lacking the pink tone.
Driftwood is a medium matte brown. This colour is great for the crease, blending, contouring, or filling in my brows.
Stone is a matte grey that leans on the blue side. This colour is gorgeous and my favourite of the bunch.
Ballerina Pink is a light baby pink that almost blends into my skin and is unnoticeable. This is my least favourite of the bunch.

Overall, the quality of these shadows way outperform the price tag. What I like is that I get loose shadow pigmentation without the mess. I can definitely see myself picking up more of these shadows in the future.
