Hello my lovelies. Today I'm going t do a review of an eyeshadow palette that a recently got and that is the Zoeva Caramel Melange palette.

I heard so many good things about the Zoeva palettes and my bestfriend, who is also a makeup junkie like me, has the Cocoa Blend palette and says just great things about it. so ofcourse I had to try it out myself.

First of all I want to try with the packaging. It comes in a slim, compact cardboard packaging which is great for traveling because it doesn't take up much space. Many think that cardboard packagings don't have such good quality but this one looks and feels so durable and strong. The palette comes in a cardboard sleeve that has the same design as the palette. The palette has a nice, warm caramel brown with gold details. And another thing I like about the packaging is that the eyeshadow names are right underneath every eyeshadow.

More about the palette:

Sweet and smooth, the ZOEVA Caramel Melange Eyeshadow Palette offers a selection of delicious shades – from soft, tawny butterscotch hues to caramelized, golden crème brulée nuances and warm toffee tones, spiced up by a sprinkle of bronzed cinnamon. Let the creamy smooth textures melt on your lids and relish in matte and shimmery caramel nuances for smoldering, rich makeup looks.

The Caramel Melange is a very warm and yet you can consider it a neutral eyeshadow palette. It has some pops of colors but nothing too intense or over the top.

❤ Wax Paper: a creamy white with a matte finish.
❤ Universal Delight: a light peach with a matte finish.
❤ Aftertaste: a reddish burnt orange with a matte finish.
❤ 182°C: a warm copper orange with a pearl finish.
❤ Liquid Center: a warm copper with a foiled finish.
❤ Alchemy: a burnt cinnamon with a matte finish.
❤ Start Soft: a medium warm caramel with a matte finish.
❤ Finish Sensual: a medium warm toffee with a matte finish.
❤ Almost Burnt: a warm gold with a metallic finish.
❤ Edible Gem: a dark purple brown with a matte finish and golden shimmer.

Each row consists of three mattes, and then two shimmers. In the first row you have a beautiful matte highlight shade, Wax Paper, a few crease shades and two beautiful lid shades. Liquid Center actually blew my mind. It reminds me of a pressed pigment, it's that pigmented and metallic and it's super buttery. The mattes were also nicely pigmented and I had no trouble blending them into my crease whatsoever. Aftertaste is actually the perfect crease shade to warm up any look. Universal delight comes in handy to blend everything out. 182°C is a beautiful lid shade that felt a little bit powdery but was easy to apply.

The second row has few darker shades. Alchemy, Start Soft and Finish Sensual are perfect transition and crease shades and considering they're matte they were really soft and creamy and they blended perfectly without looking patchy. Almost Burnt is a beautiful gold and the formula is really smooth and soft. Edible Gem felt a little bit dry and I was afraid it would look patchy, but it actually applied evenly.

The fomula of the eyeshadow is very smooth and soft.They dont feel dry and they blend out perfectly. With a good base they didn't crease on my lid through out the whole day.

Another great thing about these eyeshadow is that they're enriched with Vitamin E and are free of parabens, mineral oils, perfume and phthalates.

I'm freaking obsessed with this eyeshadow palette! All of the neutral warm shades, the packaging, the quality of the eyeshadows,... it's just all there! The only downside is that you're quite limited when it comes to creating different looks, for example, there are no browns, or a black eyeshadow. But I guess that's not really what they were going for anyway. If you're into very warm reds and copper, this is definitely a palette I would recommend! I also think this palette is perfect for the Fall and Winter time.

Wax Paper, Universal Delight and a bit of Start Soft

I hope you enjoyed this review and I'm sending kisses 'till the next one xx

Hello my lovelies, todays post will be about the very hyped BH cosmetics colaboration with Carli Bybel. I couldn't wait to get my hands on that oh so pretty eyeshadow palette.

The packaging is very sleek, simple and yet cute. Her name and the brand are written in silver color and I really like that the packaging is white, it looks really elegante.

The palette contains 10 eyeshadows and 4 highlighters. The quality is very good, the colors are pigmented and can last all day, especially when ypu put a primer underneath. The colors are really nice, you can do so many looks with them, day to nighttime looks.
The guality of the highlighters is really really good. They have a nice shimmer, not too much. I personally use the first 2 because I'm pale and the last 2 are too dark for my skin, so I use them as eyeshadows. And I'm surprised how much I liked using highlighters as eyeshadow, they really make my eyes pop. I didn't think I would like that shimmer on my eyes, but it turns out I'm a shimmer girl and I adore how it looks on the daylight.

Here are some swatches. The first and the lightest color in the pallete is almost the color of my skin so it's really hard to see the difference. In the swatches you can see how pigmented they are. I love how the nude colors are combinated with the burgundy ones and the darkest one that has a little bit of an olive green undertone.

Here are the highlight swatches and again the lightest one just melted in with my skin tone (I really need to work on my tan). They make my cheeks just pop and have a such nice shimmer when light hits your face. I love the darker colors for some nice, simple daytime looks.

All in all, it's a very good palette that in my opinion every girl needs. And the second best part of it is the price. I purchased this beauty for 17EU. That's really not expensive for such a good quality eyeshadow and highlight palette.

Hope you enjoyed this post, and 'tll next time stay fabulous xx
