ZOEVA Cocoa Blend Eyeshadow Palette // Review + Swatches + Full Face Makeup

 I've heard so many people talking about how underrated ZOEVA palettes is! So after lusting over them for about a month, I finally decided to buy them at ION Sephora. This palette retails for $39, and is one of the more affordable palettes available in Sephora.

The packaging is made out of cardboard and it is really sleek. In addition, it comes with no mirror but it is not a concern for me because I tend not to use mirrors provided in palettes.

Here is a close up of the color selection for this palette. All of the colors are of warm under-tones, which is my absolute favorite kind of eyeshadow.  There are 4 mattes and the rest are shimmer or metallic.

From the swatches, the white matte shade (Bitter Start), seems like it is not pigmented at all. However, it does show up over a primer on my eye when I use it to set my primer down. The next shade, Sweeter End is a really soft lilac with gold sheen is the only highlight shade in this palette, which is quite disappointing because I really like a strong highlight included in my palette.

My favorite shades has to be Warm Notes and Pure Ganache. These are the eye catching shades that I really like to pop it on my eyelids to intensify my eye makeup. I also like to smoke out my outer corner with Infusion, it is a black shadow with gold glitter that really resembles Midnight from Kathleen x Colourpop Collection.


The longevity of these shadows are good, they lasted for around 6 to 7 hours before slightly fading away on my oily eyelids. The primer I used was the Essence 2 in 1 Eyeshadow & Primer. They all blended so beautifully, I was really impressed!

This palette definitely entice me to try the Caramel Melange palette as well as the Rose Gold palette!

Here is an attempt of trying to take my full face makeup of the day LOL. Please don't mind my messy bed, I do not have a setup sadly.
