    I am kind of undecided about this. I like the colour in the pan (sort of light grey-taupe) and I find it rather unique but it applies very sheerly and it does not last long ( fades within 4-5...

    I find this to be a very nice, shimmery, silvery grey-brown with a hint of purple. It is a cool-toned colour that brings out the blue in my eyes. It makes an excellent smoky eye. It goes on...

    This is a nice taupy color that could be worn with many things. Can be used on lid or crease. The texture is nice and it is very blendable. Having said that...although I am happy with it I won't...

    Great color. It has way more depth than I thought. For the crease, I mix Mocha Cup with a bit of the matte plum that came in the GWP. I prep my greasy lids with pressed powder & the color stays...

    Mocha Cup is a shimmery, plummy taupe. It's not a color I would have chosen for myself, but it came in a GWP and I'm so glad it did. This really makes my green-gold eyes Pop with a capital P. I had...

    This shows up on the skin much lighter than in the pan. It is a taupe with silver and almost mauve shimmer to it. I use it as a lid color. The shadow is a nice silky texture and blends easily.

    I think that these shadows are overpriced considering that the color payoff isn't very good and although the packaging is nice it is not very durable...and I haven't even traveled with it! The...

    I bought this looking for a new colour to compliment the smokey shade which I absolutely adore. This one is just not dark enough. In the pan it shows up much darker and on the lid it seems to...

    I really wanted to love these shadows but they just dont last on my lids, and they are not pigmented enough. Not worth the money.

    Apparently, they improved the packaging of these Pure Color E/S from EL. I bought Mocha Cup expecting to use it in the crease, but it really is too light for that. It looks good as a wash on the...

    What a horrid product. It looks so beautiful in the pan but once applied, even over primer, it is basically invisible. The color does resemble Bobbi Brown fawn quite a bit, which I already have...

    I read Paula Begoun's "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me," and Paula recommended this eyeshadow (and she even labelled it as a 'Paula's Pick'). I don't see how Paula's reviews are ANY...

    Wondering why EL eyeshadows get such bad reviews here, I have to state that there is NO similar colour to Mocha Cup in any other high end make-up line (with the exception of MAC's Veluxe Pearl...

    Pure Color Eyeshadow in Mocha Cup is a pretty sheer taupey brown color. So pretty but I dont like the sheerness and lack of pigment in Estee Lauder Shadows so I will not repurchase. Retails for...

    The only way I can think of to describe this shadow is having a dark full-bodied cup of coffee then adding a lot of heavy sweet cream and a bit of sparkles then mixing. This color on top of #30...
