Hot chocolate
ColourPop Hot Chocolate Pressed Powder Shadow Quad ($ 9.00 for 0.21 oz.) Contains one shimmer hue and three matte tones in a richer, deeper neutral color history. All four shades were pigmented, mixable, and lasted longer, and there was little to complain about; the “worst” aspect was a bit of powder in all four shades, but nothing to hinder performance.
This quad is one of six in a holiday vault, although ColourPop said they would be available individually at my request, but they didn’t show up on the website individually. It’s not realistic to me to check it out as a set (takes much longer, but I’ve also started testing them across sets and the system is better set up for one pallet, not five, for readability) within a set!) so decided to check them out one at a time.

Chocolate full
Chocolate full is a deep brown with muted, warm olive undertones and a metallic sheen. The texture was a little drier and looser, though I saw no precipitate when I tapped it in place with a dry brush; For more security, I would recommend using it with a dampened brush or fingertip. It had an opaque paint cover that was well worn for eight hours before noticeably fading.

Formula overview
$ 4.50 / 0.05 oz. – $ 90.00 per ounce
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is said to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra velvety and silky” texture that is “long-lasting” and “easily sticks to the eyes”. Most shades have a semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that can be easily applied to bare skin, blends easily and lasts seven to eight hours.
The matte eyeshadows tend to be a bit more powdery in the pan, but are soft and finely ground, while the shimmers have a creamier, denser consistency. Occasionally, the more glittering or metallic nuances are better applied with the fingertips or a dampened brush.

Half cute
Half cute is a darker taupe brown with more olive undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, almost creamy feel, as it was finely ground but not powdery. The “problem” was that it looked greener and darker than the pan (where it looked warmer and browner). It lasted a good eight hours before it faded a little.

You’re hot
You’re hot is a blackened taupe with cooler undertones and a matte finish. It had an opaque paint cover that stuck evenly to bare skin and blended well around the edges without much work. The texture was soft, a little powdery in the pan, but didn’t tend to come off too quickly. It had worn well for eight hours before noticeably fading.
