Finding the right foundation is a hard task and one that I absolutely hate. It's almost an impossible task for me to get a good match. I tan so easily that in the summer it's almost guaranteed that my foundation doesn't match. But over the years, I've tried a few foundations that I can rely on. I have combination skin, with normal skin on my cheeks and an oily t-zone.

Over the past two weeks I've been writing about the palettes in the Zoeva Plaisir box that I got gifted with for Christmas. The box set retails for £48 and comes with 3 palettes that cost £18 each, including Blanc Fusion and Cocoa Blend. This week I am reviewing the final palette, which just so happens to be my favourite out of the three: Caramel Melange

Last week I did a post about the Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette which I got when I received the Plaisir box set for Christmas. I was blown away by the pigmentation of these palette and wanted to review each of them individually. 

If you read my 'what I got for Christmas 2016' post, you will know that I recently got the Zoeva Plaisir palette. The set comes with 3 palette from Zoeva including the Cocoa Blend palette which I am reviewing today. You can still get your hands on the Plaisir box but each palette is sold individually and you can pick this up for £18 at Beauty Bay.

I am so impressed with the pigmentation and quality of this palette. I love that it's in a thin, cardboard packaging as it doesn't take up too much room on my vanity and is perfect for travelling with. The shadows are easy to blend with and don't have too much fall out to them.

The Cocoa Blend palette has a mix of 4 matte shades and 6 shimmery shades. The colours are mainly warm toned with 3 shades to the right of the palette gearing more towards the cool-toned colours. I love that you can go from everyday basics to a full glam with just this one palette. 

Bitter Start: a matte creamy, white

Sweeter End: a champagne lilac-gold, which looks predominantly gold in pictures

Warm Notes: a bright, Jewel-like pink with a sheen finish

Subtle Blend: a bronze, sheen

Beans are White: a matte, charcoal brown

Over the next two weeks I will be sharing reviews on the Blanc Fusion and Caramel Melange palettes.

Now that it's beginning to feel a bit more like summer, I'm sure many of you are looking for some new highlighters to try. I for one, personally wear highlighters all year round, but I find in the summer I want to try out more cream based highlighters for that extra dewyness. I thought it would be nice to share with you my cream highlighter collection.

If this is the first time you've come across this palette, then seriously where have you been?! This is the 350 palette by Morphe that has had everyone and their mums go crazy over. It's one of their best sellers and basically sells out pretty much every time they re-stock! I finally managed to get my hands on the palette and even though I had to pay a ridiculous amount for shipping/taxes, it was totally worth it! It's pretty much my go-to palette, with a whole range of warm, neutral shades that would suit any skin tone/colour/type!
