Adding box-shadow to a :after pseudo element

Question

I have a div called .testimonial-inner and using the :after pseudo element I have an arrow that sits underneath it pointing down. The problem I'm having is adding a box-shadow to it all so they both look like one natural element.

Without box-shadow on the triangle:

Notice the box shadow currently doesn't wrap around the arrow.

When I add it to the :after declaration I get the following result:

body {
  background: #eee
}
.testimonial-inner {
  background: #fff;
  -webkit-border-radius: 3px;
  -moz-border-radius: 3px;
  border-radius: 3px;
  padding: 30px;
  display: block;
  margin-bottom: 25px;
  position: relative;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
  -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75);
}
.testimonial-inner:after {
  top: 100%;
  left: 48px;
  border: solid transparent;
  content: " ";
  height: 0;
  width: 0;
  position: absolute;
  pointer-events: none;
  border-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);
  border-top-color: #fff;
  border-width: 18px;
  margin-left: -18px;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
  -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75);
}

<div class="c-4 testimonial-wrap">
  <div class="testimonial-inner">
    <p>Using Facebook was unquestionably the best decision I could possibly have made at the point in my journalistic journey. It enabled me to share my fears, frustrations as well as successes.</p>
  </div>
</div>

A filter will work:

.shadowed {
    -webkit-filter: drop-shadow(0px 2px 2px rgba(130,130,130,1));
    filter        : drop-shadow(0px 2px 2px rgba(130,130,130,1));
    -ms-filter    : "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Dropshadow(OffX=0, OffY=2, Color='#444')";
    filter        : "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Dropshadow(OffX=0, OffY=2, Color='#444')";
}
