COCOA BEAR
All About This Color:
The cocoa bear is soft, snugly, and keeps you safe from the boogie monster. Just a fair warning, however, this warm and rich brown color makes people want to snuggle up close to you.

The Bottom Line:
Matte reddish brown

MOCHA
All About This Color:
I'm not sure what I love more: coffee or makeup. So here's the best of both worlds: an eyeshadow that reminds me of coffee. Rich, strong, and perks me up in the morning.

The Bottom Line:
Deep matte brown

Product Experience:
The eye shadows I bought come in a refill pan you get 1.8 g 0.064 oz of product for $5.99 USD  You can purchase the eyeshadow in a compact form or refill pan. The compact form cost an extra dollar more at $7.99 USD.
I bought the colors, Mocha and Cocoa Bear. I'm trying to build a collection of neutral colors that's not on the cool side. I own the naked palette by Urban Decay but I find that the darker shades on this palette is way to cool for my skin tone. I need to supplement it with other colors.
Make up geek eye shadows come in 67 different shades and finishes. Marlena has set aside a 9 shadow starter kit, a starter kit with a z palette, an ultimate eyeshadow kit with z palette and vegan kit with z-palette bundle. Marlena also releases new eye shadow colors and extension sets every season all the eye shadows come in their own pan or compact.



Pros:
  • The texture is nice and smooth, silky without being powdery.
  • The colors are very pigmented and easily build able.
  • Blends easily
  • Inexpensive
  • Has a wide variety of colors to choose from.
  • Has a wide variety of finishes from, matte, satin or shimmery.
  • Eye shadows comes in a compact or refill pan.
Cons:
  • Only available online at the make up geek store.
  • Can only be purchased in refill pans, single compacts, or the starter sets.
The make up geek line is still a budding business even though it just started the quality of the products is excellent at an affordable price.
