This is probably my most favourite shade ever! It's a flattering, neutral brown with gold shimmer that just looks extraordinarily pretty! Maybe not the colour you could wear on a night out, not bold enough, but a shade I can wear daily. It is a pretty shimmer, not chunky and nauseating and I get compliments when wearing it. With a good eye primer it wears well. Yes the packaging is annoying, but it is so cheap! Love it.

Highly pigmented and goes on smooth. Very cheap in price, but rivals MAC shadows in my book. Absolutely hate the packaging, but can't complain as I feel the product is insanely good for the price. This Mocha color is one of my staples & I wear this daily most of the time as I find it can be neutral with a bit of zest. If I apply with pixie epoxy underneath it has a bit of a silver finish on me which I love, not too over the top, but just perfect enough to have a bit of jazz in daily wear.

I have this color in my collection and it is one of my favorite neutral colors to use. I hate the packaging though. I was forced to depot them all and put them in small round containers that you can from Walmart usually found in the area where they sale sewing stuff.

I have a ton of these NYX loose pigments and love them!! They are highly pigmented, and go on very easily. The pigments sticks to my lids very well and the pearl colors are shimmery and rich. These pigments seem to give my lids more depth and character than just a flat eye shadow. I bought them online for incredibly cheap. My only little complaint would be the packing. The teensie hole in the top of the bottle is awkward and messy. I don't know if people repackage these into pots or what?? I seem to waste a lot trying to dip a tiny brush in the top. But it's a small price to pay for such a great product at an insanely cheap price. I will definitely buy more of these!!

These pigments from NYX are amazing. When you use them wet they look like liquid metal. A little goes a long way. I don't use Mocha as much as I use my other colours but it doesn't make it any less beautiful. I like to use this on the first half of my lid and then use a darker colour to smoke it out - I feel that darker colours suit me better. But this pigment is absolutely gorgeous for those who like a more nude-ish or understated eye look. The container these come in are useless so what I do is buy empty lip balm containers with the screw top lid and put the pigments in there. Works perfectly and saves a lot of mess!

This is everything people said it could be! Amazing color that works on all skintones! I am Asian with NC15 complexion. Gives my eyes a lotta depth without being too dramatic. One of those products that every girl should try! I have no probs with the bottle tho. I am a taupe hoor but I don't have a dupe in my stash. The closest one being nyx single e/s in taupe pearl. Same tone but mocha pearl is more shimmery and lighter.

I think this could possibly be my favourite eyeshadow full-stop. It's just beautiful: silvery brown, shimmery, adds depth to my grey-blue eyes, looks incredible foiled. I can use this on the lid, with a little matte brown in the crease, or foiled with a darker crease. I don't ever want to be without. It's definitely worth ordering it from the United States and waiting close to 3 weeks for it to arrive (silly italian postage sistem).The packaging is fiddly, but as for all my other nyx ultra pearl manias, I have transferred the product to a little water colour kit. Absolutely recommend this to basically anyone.

I LOVE this pigment. Mocha is such a pretty shade - it shows up as a the most perfect silvery taupe on my skin, and looks fantastic with my dark brown eyes. It's a very neutral color, but with a bit of a kick - I don't own anything else quite like it. It's very shimmery, but that's just how I like my eyeshadows so that's nothing but a plus in my opinion. Sure, the packaging is less than perfect, but for $1.50 I'll happily deal with it. I'll definitely be getting more of these in other colors, plus a few more bottles of mocha to keep as a backup, because I never want to be without this color again.

This is a gorgeous colour brown...looks great with my blue eyes. Can wear it alone or in the crease with a lighter colour. Like all NYX pigments, I find this lasts all day long (no creasing or fading) when I use TFSI along with the product.

The only reason why I didn't give this a 5 was the packaging. Its hard to work with having to spill some out in a tissue or on the back of your hand to use it. The cap/cover doesn't allow you to pour into it and use it that way. I had to get a 7 day pill case to pour all my NYX pigments into and that is working perfect for me (try it!!!)

I am in love with this colour. If you like a natural look it's perfect for daytime but because of the pearly sheen it adds a little something extra to the normal browns/natural eye colours. I always get compliments when i wear it, which i generally only wear on its own and its enough to impress! the only con about this product is the teeny tiny packaging. i opened the lid and a whole lot of it fell off the rim. So i would advise that when you open it, do so over a lid/container so you can use the product that will (most likely) fall out. You don't need much of it at all as it glides on easily. Everyone should get this colour!!! It would suite all skin types/eye colours etc.

I picked this little gem up at a local beauty supply store for 2 bucks. Its a gorgeous shimmery chocolate brown shade, great for easy smokey eye days. I pair it with the Nude Pearl and its gorgeouse. The texture is smooth and its very shimmery, but not glittery. Its a tiny tube, and my only complaint is the packaging to hard to get your brush in, so what i did was bought empty contact lens cases and i just tap some of the product in there, one color on each side, and refill when its gone. I would repurchase this item, but i dont think ill ever need to because for being a tiny tube, theres tons of product in it and you only need a tiny amount definetly a great buy though.

I absolutely love this product. You don't need any other product for this, it is pigmented enough and does not crease! When I'm late to work, I just apply eyeliner and Mocha pearl and would still get complements on my eyes. It has a gorgeous sheen that makes my eyes pop, one of the best eyeshadows I've ever purchased.

I hate the packaging but I can't complain because this product is great. When applied wet on my nc42ish skin, it is a neutral taupe with a lot silver in it. It's very metallic-like on me. I wasn't too crazy about the color on me but I recently noticed that the few times I wore this (on the lid with MAC Sable or a dark brown neutral in the crease and black eyeliner) I received compliments from friends and family who said that I look pretty, different, etc. And I am not a person who receives compliments on my appearance frequently even though I wear makeup almost daily including some high end products. I have never applied this dry so I can't tell you what it looks like dry or the lasting power. But wet, it stays on me all day and it goes on smoothly. It is finely milled like the other NYX ultra pearl mania pigments. I highly recommend this for anyone who is into pigments..it is only a dollar or two. You can not beat that.

WOW! I am completely floored by this product. I bought Mocha Pearl from a little stand outside of my workplace for $3.99. It's a beautiful neutral that has just the right amount a shimmer to make it not boring. It's shimmer, not glitter so I do not notice fall out when I use these. With a primer, this stays on for HOURS even in 110 degree desert heat. This color makes my eyes look awake and pretty. There is a ton of product in the little tiny jars, so I'd imagine this would take a while to use up. My only gripe is that I wish they came in a jar that I could easily dump my brush in. Maybe I'll go look for one. If you can find these gems, ladies, PLEASE do. Wonderful quality for the price.

These are little gems. I wish there were more colors... mocha is a great neutral that packs a punch. It's not boring and dazzles. I take some of those sample jars from Sephora and fill them with these. They have a screw on cap, so it never spills.

I am absolutely in love! I just bought this yesterday for $1.50 at the local flea market, and i am so impressed. It is such a shimmery color and it has a great consistency. I apply it with a damp eyeshadow brush for maximum shine. It is surprisingly wearable for day, and I'm also thinking about using it for an upcoming dance we're having at my school, because it matches everything. gave it a 4 though, because the container is so small, and its impossible to fit a brush in it. I am definitely buying this again!
