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.
