   Rave ahead:

   For me, Dark Chocolate is as good as eyeshadow gets!
   It’s
   -cruelty-free
   -gorgeous neutral medium grayish brown, with a smooth satin finish
   – generously pigmented, easily blendable, with an almost “creamy” feel
   – long-lasting, even on my super-oily skin(over a good primer like Shadow Insurance, it’s even better)
   I realize that not everyone is going to just about wet herself over a brown eyeshadow, but Dark Chocolate is so special, and it’s exactly the kind of neutral I crave, to play up my green eye color. Shades like this also pair well with the bright lip colors I favor. In the photo above, I’m wearing Coastal Scents “Ashen,” another fantastic one, all over the lids, with Dark Chocolate in outer corners; no other makeup.
   Here’s ( a very good, thorough review of Dark Chocolate, though I can’t say that I quite agree with the “Satin Taupe dupe” assessment. To me, Satin Taupe is considerably lighter and browner than Dark Chocolate, which has a decidedly gray cast.
   At any rate, I consider Dark Chocolate a real “find,” and expect to use it often. I’m mildly annoyed by the fact that Hot Pods come in pan only, and empty single compacts are hard to find. I’ve discovered, though, that the round Coastal Scents shadows will fit into the square slots of the readily available Inglot palettes.
