Zoeva is something I've never tried before but always wanted to, I've just never had the chance to grab anything. Luckily I got it for my birthday, as you would have seen in my Birthday goodies post. Now I've tried Zoeva I don't know why I put it off for so long, they're so so creamy! This one is the Cocoa Blend palette, which is a mixture of brown and red tones. When I read the name of this palette I thought it was going to be a neutrals palette (which I have heaps of), so I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it up and saw the lovely Freshly Toasted and Warm Notes shades. They're two shades I don't really have in any of my palettes.
There is a mixture of matte and shimmer shades (5 mattes and 6 shimmers), which is a good ratio. I love a shimmery shade for my lid and a matte for the crease, especially on a day when I want a quick eye look. The shades I'm reaching for the most is Pure Ganache, Substitute for Love and Freshly Toasted. They're some of my favourite colours for eye looks, especially a deep red. As you can probably tell from my Instagram and Snapchats..
These shades are really creamy and pigmented though, more so the matte ones, so if you're going for a bold colour I would start lightly and build to the colour you would like. I didn't think they would be so pigmented until I had an illuminous red eye look going on from using Freshly Toasted. But hey that's definitely a good thing! There also isn't any fall out, even with the darker shades which is always a perk. Nothing more annoying that trying to remove excess shadow off your cheeks.
I really can't wait to try more of the Zoeva range, I may even buy some of their brushes eventually. I just recently caught sight of the Rose Golden palette on Chapters of Kat and I now obviously need that.. and their Mixed Metals palette. Think I may become inundated with eyeshadow palettes...
Have you tried anything from Zoeva yet?
