Zoeva Caramel Melange | Review and Swatches

If you know me then you'll know one of my favourite brands for eyeshadow is Zoeva. They're super affordable, great quality and available in beautiful shades. I've been loving this palette Caramel Melange all month and it's so pretty, it contains a mix of shimmer and matte shades, some neutral and brighter colours. I'm loving this and I'm hoping you'll love it too, this hopefully isn't the only Zoeva palette review I'll do in the next month or so. 

   

As far as I'm aware you can only order these palettes online, I bought them on the Zoeva website. They're so affordable, coming from the broke student. I knew I was going to love this palette as I'd already loved the Cocoa Blends palette from them. I could honestly just look at the packaging and shades all day. The packaging on this palette is dark brown with a gold block design, it's very similar to the Cocoa Blends one that I mix them up from time to time. 

It contains the shades, Wax Paper, Universal Delight, Aftertaste, Alchemy, Start Soft, and Finish Sensual, which are matte shadows. Also 182degrees, Liquid Center, Almost Burnt, and Edible Gem, which are shimmers. There's a mix of neutral colours and more vibrant ones. There's white, a variety of browns, reds, golds and purples. My most worn shades are Start Soft and Liquid Center. Start Soft is a brown shade with deeper red undertones and Liquid Center is a lighter brown shade with gold tones, which contain glitter, these shades go so well together. Two of my favourite shades, and the ones that make the palette stand out are Almost Burnt and Aftertaste. Almost Burnt is a deep pure gold which I love, it's so pigmented and leaves a great colour and shimmer. Aftertaste is the most beautiful vibrant red I've seen, it's slightly pink and brown which makes it still natural enough on the eyes. 

The swatches above are with and without flash in the order  Wax Paper, Universal Delight, Aftertaste, 182degrees, Liquid Center, Alchemy, Start Soft, Finish Sensual, Almost Burnt, and Edible Gem.

These shadows have really good pigmentation and colour payoff. They're all just such pretty shades and look so perfect altogether. Has anyone ever tried this palette or any other Zoeva products?
