Good pigmented medium brown good for the crease! The texture is very soft and nowhere near chalky. It blends easily. The packaging is study, you get a decent amount of product and the best part is its only $3

I found this to be ok overall. It was not super pigmented but not to bad. I find that it does have fallout and the color is ok. Not that it matters much i do give the packaging a thumbs up. I use this color for the crease mostly but i dont reach for it much because you do have to work with it quite a bit to get the color that is in the pan but overall its not to bad and its definetely not the worst shadow ive ever tried its just an ok shadow. It was only 3 dollars so i cant complain to much!!!

I'm not a fan of ELF shadows especially the dollar quads-those are terrible. However, Coffee Bean isn't bad. Coffee Bean is a medium warm toned brown with tiny sparkles. The sparkles really don't show up that much on the eye (which is a good thing). I love the color of this shadow and it works well on my complexion. However, the quality is lacking a bit. I use Coffee Bean as a transition color, not on it's own. For instance, it's a great crease color. I'm NW30ish now and with two layers and a primer, it will show up nicely. Coffee Bean works great with navy blues, forest greens and colors from the beige and cream families. These shadows look deceiving in the pan assuming your going to get great pigmentation. However, it's rather sheer and this is a shadow that requires some layers and help from a good primer. The texture of these aren't as creamy as some of my other brands but they aren't bad either. I compare them to some of the NYX shadows which can be hit or miss. I do absolutley love the packaging on Elf's studio products. It's not common for an inexpensive makeup line to do a sleek modern quality package. Overall, I'm pretty content with this shadow as I got it in a swap and didn't pay for it. But, honestly, it is a three dollar product so it's decent for the price.

I really like this! Good neutral everyday shade for crease. It is a medium brown with fine shimmer. Shadow is decently pigmented and smooth (not chalky).

I love these shadows, I have them in several colors and they are nice~ Coffe Bean is a lovely pigmented dark brown with shimmer, but the shimmer doesn't appear so much after application. I picked this up at the Dollar Tree for $1 so what a great deal~ Packaging is classy and sleek with a little mirror!

I found this last week at The DollarTree. I was looking for a nice brown shade to fill in my brows. I saw the shimmer and still said I'd give it a try for the price. So glad I did! It's a really shimmery facade on top of the product for effect but it is not 1/2 as shimmery as it looks in the package; I just wiped it away. I ♥ it for my brows and as it says on the package to just, "layer the color to achieve the desired intensity." Great stuff!

This is a beautiful dark brown, "coffee" shade from ELF's Studio line. It's not a matte shade--it has sparkles and a bit of a sheen or shimmer to it that I find very pretty. I didn't have any problem with the pigmentation, the texture is quite good, and this eyeshadow can last up to several hours. If applied with a light hand, it can still be worn in the daytime. All in all, a very pretty, wearable shade of dark brown.

Not as pigmented as I would have liked it to be. It's just okay, but I haven't been too happy with e.l.f. eyeshadows so far. They are usually either too soft/chalky, not pigmented enough, or lack staying power.

Coffee Bean is a very dark warm brown, with a slight amount of shimmer. This shade is very dark ~ too dark for daytime. It blends easily in the crease and if you apply lightly, it takes on a golden brown hue.
Studio eye shadows are great for women over forty, because they do not accentuate the lines on your eyelids. They are a great value ($1.50 with a 50% off coupon), and I bought three other colors. I really like this product and will add the balance of these shadows during the next Studio sale..

I actually have this in every color, and I love how pigmented they are. There isn't a wide range of colors, but the ones in the line are nice. When applying these shadows, I don't have much problem with fallout. And for $3 there is PLENTY of product here. The packaging is nice, with a little window so you can see the color, and no sponge tip applicator, because I would just end up throwing that away. Overall these are great shadows for a great price, just wanting more colors!

I purchased a 0.097 oz/2.75 g E.L.F. Studio Single Eyeshadow in Coffee Bean during E.L.F.'s 75% off Studio line sale (retails $3.00). The colour is lighter and warmer than the image on the E.L.F. website. There is clear plastic on the lid which makes it easier to find colours without having to open the compact. In addition, this compact does not include an applicator, but a small rectangle mirror embedded into the underside of the lid.
PRODUCT INFORMATION: Beautiful soft texture that melts into the skin for a vibrant color that lasts. Convenient and easy to apply, just layer the color to achieve the desired intensity. Apply wet or dry for a fabulous look that never creases or fades.
DIRECTIONS: Blend color onto eyelid with an eyeshadow brush, layer on color for desired intensity. Apply dry for a more subtle look or wet for a dramatic look and a longer wear.
