The Ultimate Eye Shadow Pallet: Zoeva Cocoa Blend

Zoeva is a brand famously known within the beauty industry for their fantastic makeup brushes although I know that many people are unaware of their makeup line which I have recently discovered and have been very impressed with. Zoeva is a German makeup brush and cosmetic brand that is available for you to buy from on Beauty Bay online.
I was extremely lucky to receive various different makeup pallets for Christmas and this eyeshadow pallet from Zoeva has definitely stood out from the crowd and has fast become a firm favourite of mine.




Inside the Zoeva Cocoa Blend pallet you will find 10 delicious eyeshadows in the most irresistible chocolate'y' shades. This pallet contains all warm toned eyeshadows which compliment most people.

This pallet's best quality is the eyeshadow's pigment- there is no other way of describing it than outstanding. I have tried many high end , expensive eyeshadows including MAC and these eye shadows from Zoeva blow them out of the bag.
Whilst having a great buttery texture, these shadows pack on plenty of colour and blend like a dream to create effortless eye makeup. The colour in the pan really is what brushes across on your eye lids which makes it easy to achieve your desired look quickly.

I was extremely impressed with the quality of this pallet considering the whole thing only cost me £15 in comparison to MAC eyeshadows which are £15 per single eyeshadow. 


If you are looking for just one pallet that can do it all, then this one is for you. I love how versatile all of the shades are and how they can easily take you from day to night. 

The six lighter shades on the left hand side of the pallet would be great to wear alone for a natural day time look whilst you could easily pop a small smudge of the jet black shade to take you from day time office to party princess in seconds.

Some pallets can be big and bulky which take up too much room inside your makeup bag but the Cocoa Blend is extremely lightweight and thin making it handy to travel with.
I would have preferred this pallet to have a mirror inside which would have made it even easier to travel with but considering its affordable price and size- I am more than happy to pack a small compact mirror alongside it in my bag.



My personal favourite shades from the pallet are Bitter Start, Substitute for Love, Freshly Toasted, Warm Notes and Beans are White.
Bitter Start is a creamy vanilla that is perfect to use as either a base on the lid or as a brow bone highlight. Substitute for Love and Freshly Toasted are both beautiful warm brown matte shades that work well worn alone along side Bitter Start for a subtle warm smoky look.
Warm Notes is a fantastic alternative to MAC Cranberry which is a warm cranberry pink shade with a slight shimmer. This looks extremely nice applied on the lid with Substitute for Love and Freshly Toasted blended through the crease.
I love a pallet to have a matte black shade which is always useful to use when transforming a day time look to a sultry night time look. Beans are White is a great jet black shadow that works perfectly. 



Have you tried out any products from Zoeva's makeup range? What do you think?
