i had heard so many raves for this shade so i had to give it a try, even tho i probaby knew better from the beginning. its a very dark brown shade with minimal shimmer. just looked plain silly on me, like somebody had punched me in the eye. it also seemed to cool for my warm toned skin (peraphs hence the name, "cool" beans) heh. anyways..i would only rec this one for someone with cool undertones looking for a dark eye look, otherwise..a big fat BLAH!
