A ROSE GOLDEN OBSESSION X ZOEVA

Good afternoon lovelies. I am currently writing this from my bed, all wrapped up like I'm in some sort of cocoon. The ill life has gotten the better of me & i've been bed bound since saturday *que violins* :(. Anyway, now that I'm starting to feel a little better and with all this spare time, what better than to write this post. I thought I would share with you my new favourite eye shadow palette that I am obsessing over!

So, I think I'm a little late on the bandwagon with this eye shadow palette (or infact any Zoeva palettes) as it was launched a while a go. After seeing several reviews about the new Cocoa Blend palette I was convinced I was going to purchase it. When browsing Beauty Bay (my fav website ever) I came across the Cocoa Blend palette and the Rose Golden palette. I decided the Rose Golden palette was more suitable for me and included more shades that I knew I would get more use of - if you know me, you know I am a sucker for anything rose gold.

I was very shocked at the price of £15.50 (that works out around £1.55 per shadow!) as for some reason I was convinced that it would cost around £30 (as good quality palettes are normally around that price mark). So I think that was a major factor that swayed me towards buying the palette as it was a lot cheaper than I had expected! When this arrived in the post, it instantly made my day and I could not stop staring at the gorgeous shades *confessions of a make up addict*. Btw, BeautyBay are amazing for shipping this came within two days of ordering with tracked delivery - and it was free!

Now lets talk shades. The palette features a range of rose golden and smokey hues which is perfect for creating a feminine, sparkly smokey eye sort of look. Every single one is wearable and I am so excited to experiment with it. These shadows are super pigmented and easy to blend (what every girl loves with an eyeshadow palette). The palette includes an array of matte, metallic and satin finishes so you are able to play around and create lots of different looks. Personally, my favourite are the metallic shadows (especially Shining Bright) as they create a shimmery eye which I feel would look gorgeous in the summer/on hols. 

I also treated myself to the Zoeva 221 Luxe Soft Crease Brush. I must say it definitely is incredibly soft and I have no regrets buying this at £6.95. It works amazingly and blends the eyeshadows so effortlessly into the crease leaving a professional finish. The perfect brush to create a smokey eye for sure!

This is a beautiful palette & I am completely obsessed. All I need now is the Zoeva Rose Golden Brush Set to accompany this ;) Have you tried this product? Which is your favourite shade?

With love,
