Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette


I know I know guys it's been a long time... But i'm back with a bang and today I am going to be talking about this ever so amazing eyeshadow palette by Zoeva Cosmetics which is called the 'Cocoa Blend' Palette. I purchased this a couple of weeks back when I was browsing on youtube and came across 'LoveLaughAndMakeup' using this palette and it just looked gorgeous on her so I had to get it. If you haven't subscribed to her already you should! I ordered this from Beauty Bay as it was the only place that I could get it at the time and only cost me £18 and also free shipping when I spent over £15 which made me want it more... I mean who doesn't love free shipping!

As soon as I got this palette I fell in love and just can't stop using it! It had such a lovely collection of colours and just blew my mine when I tested them out for a recent look which is over on my youtube channel! It has such a lovely mix of colours which some are matte and some are shimmers and are honestly so highly pigmented! I really do need to purchase more of the Zoeva Cosmetics eyeshadow palettes because you really can't fault them!

My Top 5 Concealers...











 So I hadn't posted in a while, and have recently been loving my concealers & I thought why not let you all know what my top favourite concealers are drugstore and high-end. Preferably for me I like to use more liquidy types of concealers rather that creamy concealers as I feel like they work better with my skin. Creamy concealers seem to crease really badly on my skin and skin into any lines that I have. I'm currently loving all of these concealers for many different reasons which I'm about to explain, so here goes...

1. Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer - Med-Light Neutral - £17.50
This is one of my go to concealers for when I'm going on a night out or what a more heavier coverage as this doesn't have SPF so doesn't flash back in photos and also gives me that flawless look. I use the colour med-light neutral as I have quite olive skin and I found that the lighter colours were to light for me and this would just look ridiculous on my face. It's very creamy and I do have to set this preferably with a loose powder to get the best look.

2. Maybelline Instant Anti-Age The Eraser Eye - Light - £7.99
My go-to drugstore concealer, I just love this stuff. I apply this using the applicator that it comes with to get the best finish but I am so in love I have re-purchased this plenty of times and is so affordable from the drugstore! I really love this but I find the only problem is it doesn't have a very wide shade range which may be difficult for some people.

3. Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer - 010 Ivory - £5.49
This concealer is a very lovely day to day concealer if your looking for something that's not too heavy on the skin. I love this concealer as whenever I apply this it instantly makes my skin look radiant and glowy which I love. It is quite a light coverage but is definitely buildable and I prefer to use this throughout the warmer months.

4. Miss Sporty Perfect Stay Liquid Concealer - Light - £2.99
So this concealer I actually bought through a recommendation by VelvetGhost on youtube and her skin always looks flawless so I definitely had to pick this up and definitely can't fault it for the price. I always find myself picking this up when I want a really bright under eye area as it makes it look flawless and covers my dark circles perfectly. For the price I found that it was a great coverage concealer and definitely a must have in a starter makeup kit.

5. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - 3 Warm Medium - £4.19
The ever so famous concealer that everyone raves about! This has always been a favourite of mine for a very long time. It's the perfect coverage for blemishes and dark circles and makes them disappear which I definitely look for in a concealer. The only problem I have with this concealer is I cannot use this when I have really dry areas on the skin as I find it can start to cling to those areas and make it look really cakey, however other than that I love it and have also repurchased many of these!

So if you have any personal recommendations that you think I would like definitely leave them for me to try out!

Love you all, x
