After purchasing the Zoeva Cocoa Blend palette and falling in love, i knew i just had to purchase more of their eyeshadow palettes and i placed another order from Beauty Bay choosing their 'Naturally Yours' and En Taupe eyeshadow Palettes. Zoeva palettes i feel are of amazing quality and i rate them in the same league as Urban Decay, Too Faced and Lorac eyeshadows. Zoeva seems to produce a nice collection of consecutively great-quality products, so i am looking forward to dabbling in more of their makeup products over the next few months. The Naturally yours palette i feel is the perfect neutral everyday palette and is the third palette i purchased from Zoeva...
Just like the infamous Zoeva makeup-brushes the eyeshadows are amazing quality being insanely pigmented, soft and very blendable. Over the years i have become a bit of a palette hoarder and a bit of an eyeshadow snob when it comes to quality of eyeshadows. The quality has to be amazing, not only swatched but also applied with a brush, just because an eyeshadow swatches beautifully doesn't mean it applies well to the eyelids. I can say that Zoeva has not disappointed in any of their eyeshadows. I have already fallen in love with the Cocoa Blend and En Taupe palettes and have reviewed them on my blog....
The 'Naturally Yours' palette is the neutral palette of the Zoeva palettes collection. It contains a range of neutral everyday eyeshadow shades, with matte, satin and shimmer finishes. Every single shadow is highly pigmented, silky soft, long-lasting and they blend easily and beautifully. A girl can never have too many neutral eyeshadow palettes and i reach for one everyday that i wear makeup. The palette contains every shade you will need from matte transition shades and highlight, rich shimmery lid shades and dark matte shades to deepen the outer corners of the eye.
All of the Zoeva eyeshadow palettes come in sleek and sturdy cardboard packaging with a magnetic closure. Each palettes design matches the theme of the palette and compliments the eyeshadows inside. This particular palette is a natural cream. There are 10 eyeshadows in the palette, each weighing 1.5g so you actually get a good amount of product for your money. The only thing i feel could make the palette better is an interior mirror which would make this palette great for travel. I also really like that Zoeva make their products in Europe ( Italy to be precise ) and don't test on animals. All of their products are free from Parabens, Mineral Oil, Phthalates and fragrance, the eyeshadows are also enriched in Vitamin E which is perfect for my sensitive ageing eyes......

I love the romantic feel of this palette from the neutral shades to the adorable names. My personal favourite in the entire palette is 'Lovely Monday' as i am a huge sucker for dark and rich shimmery browns, it find that it is stunning all over the lid for a smoky eye look or used for a little something extra in the crease. 'Sweet sound' is equally as beautiful all over the lid as well as the matte shades 'Pure' and 'First love' being great neutral matte shades for all over the lid. 'Smooth harmony' is a little less pigmented than the rest of the eyeshadows in the palette but is still pretty. My favourite out of all the Zoeva palettes is still the Cocoa blend because i love the rich deep tones.
The Zoeva Naturally Yours palette retails for £15.50 in the UK with free shipping through Beauty Bay. Zoeva cosmetics ship their products worldwide so if you are the USA you can buy the palette directly through the Zoeva website for $21.50 and they have a flat rate shipping cost of $16.

After reading both of the Zoeva "Naturally Yours" and "En Taupe" reviews I was interested in buying one of the palettes, which one of the two do you think is better for beginners in terms of working the the colour themes and blending.
ReplyDeleteOh my klaudia i am so terribly sorry i didn't not see this post until now.
DeleteBoth palettes in fact all zoeva palettes are great, and the blendability of them all is fantastic. I think if your starting out the Naturally yours palette is best because of the neutral shades
