Hummm...here it is: "...And if you don't like the gold microglitter (it's very subtle) imbedded in it [Urb], Paula Dorf has a color just like it, sans glitter, Enchant."
Paula Dorf? Well I'd guess TBS or MAC has one. Color me unadventurous :) I always check certain brands first. If Sonia Kashuk has it, I'll try it out for $5. Good price and not bad quality, but limited selection (I'm pretty sure they don't have green).
I'll be honest, imo the other drugstore shadows are not worth buying. I have heard some good reviews for Milani though. I have a blush of theirs; the color didn't pan out but the staying power was definitely there. They do have a light green shadow. I think it's a yellowish green though rather than neutral (never looked it at too closely).
MAC has a couple of greens in their newer collections.
Gold...my daughter's eyes are quite gold. They're golden brown but they used to be greeny hazel. They still give the illusion of being green sometimes.
I can hardly put eyeshadow on her :) but for some reason I always think of surrounding that eye color with purple. Again that is the old single shadow color theory.
I'm checking out the NARS shadow duos for ideas.
Interesting...I don't exactly worship ol' Nars...nothing personal, I just don't. But I feel his shadow duos are well thought out. Most duos...I have no interest in most duos. It's like you're buying it for only one of the colors. But I think in life it's either art or it's science. There's a certain amount of art in the color combinations.
I'm fiddling around today with the "Heaven" idea--pink and orange. I think I goofed it up though. MAC Samoa Silk is fine for orange. I tried using TBS Clover Pink for the pink. Not bad but not pink enough. I'm going to try MAC Swish later on.
