Zoeva Rose Golden Blush Palette

I'm sure you've all seen, and fallen in love with the 'rose gold' trend that's been circulating the scene for quite a while, and doesn't seem to be shooting off anytime soon, (luckily!). Brands are pulling at our heart-strings, (and purse strings), by launching products coated in rose gold left right and centre. Zoeva is a brand that does the trend particularly well, previously launching brush lines with rose gold finishes and matching metallic pouches. Now they're back with 'Rose Golden Volume 3', which consists of a luxurious rose gold brush set, (with the killer price tag of £75!!), and a more purse-friendly blush palette! 

The palette contains a rose-gold blusher, or blush topper, a stunning white highlighter with gold reflects, and a classic cool-toned taupe contour shade. 

From the swatch, and from the initial look at the pan, the blusher didn't look like something I would use on my cheeks, as glittery cheek products tend to emphasise flaws I'd rather not draw attention to! However, after thinking 'why the hell not!', I tried it out and was absolutely stunned! For something that is incredibly glittery to swatch, it comes off on the cheeks as a gorgeous sheen, and no glitter chunks at all! The shade on my skin tone is a very warm, deep peach shade.

The highlighter is so so pigmented. Literally, I just dab my brush into the pan and sweep it along the top of my cheekbones and I'm good to go! Although it looks a flat white in the pan, it has a stunning iridescence to it, and has warm gold reflects, complimenting the coolness of the white beautifully.

As for the contour shade, in the pan, it looks like my dream shade, and it really is on the skin too! However, it's slightly tougher to grab the product onto your brush. I'm not sure why, but it's very gritty to begin with, and I feel like I have to scrub at the pan to really get it going. Once applied, it does look beautiful, and creates the most natural shadow. Surprisingly, this hasn't put me off and I still adore this palette, contour shade included. 

You can purchase this palette from www.beautybay.com for £13! I personally think that's an amazing price, especially for such a quality product.. (Plus the packaging is pretty fabulous too!). 

Must-Have Warm Eyeshadow Palettes

I couldn't think of any better way to return to blogging than with a post about warm eyeshadows. My love. I decided to gather my ultimate warm eyeshadow palettes that I seriously recommend you investing in. Some of them are of a lower price-point, and some are slightly pricer.. particularly one, but they're all of incredible quality and I gravitate to these most.

Limecrime Venus Palette

This palette is one of my all-time favourite palettes. The shade range is spot on, and so is the quality. There's a perfect variety of mattes and shimmers, and I've created so many different looks using this palette. It's currently on sale on Love Makeup, and is linked above! It's quite a small palette, and it has a decent sized mirror making it perfect for travelling too.

I'll let those swatches do the talking.. sweet mother of God.

Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette

This palette is for everybody in my opinion. It comes in the most gorgeous, sleek packaging, and contains ten warm, chocolatey shades. There are more shimmers than mattes, but the mattes are absolutely incredible! The shades 'substitute for love', and 'freshly toasted' are my dream crease shades. As with all Zoeva eyeshadows, the quality is amazing, and very well-priced too! 

Makeup Revolution New-trals VS Neutrals Palette

I'm pretty confident that I've done a post on this palette, but if I haven't, then I definitely should have. It's the most amazing product that Makeup Revolution has ever come out with. The shade range is insane, and they've really taken note of the 2015 'marsala' trend. I will mention that the glittery shades aren't necessarily my favourite, and they're a little chunky, but the mattes.. THE MATTES. Good Lord, I get palpitations every time I use them! For £6.99, I'm happy to avoid the shimmers, so I definitely recommend this palette.

Viseart Neutral Matte Eye Palette 01

Now this is one pricey little guy. I've only swatched the top two rows as the bottom row consists of cool-tones. Unfortunately, these swatches don't do these eyeshadows any justice, but they are absolutely incredible. They're so easily blendable, super pigmented and are perfect for any look you want to create. It's definitely an investment piece, and not something I see your 'everyday make-up user' purchasing.. but if you're a make-up junkie like me, I'd definitely consider picking this up for your collection!

Morphe 35O Palette

So this palette has been heavily covered by the beauty community over the past six or so months, and for a damn good reason. This is the mother of all warm palettes. Morphe did an excellent job with this, and it's on everybody wish-list! Unfortunately, this is often sold out, so if you find one in stock, don't even think about it, just snap it up immediately! There's a mixture of mattes, duochromes, foiled eyeshadows and shimmers. I've only swatched a selection of shades from the palette, but as you can see they're all so pigmented. They also blend beautifully, and for the price, you seriously can't go wrong. 

So there we have it! I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and please let me know what your favourite warm palettes are? I clearly can never have enough!
