Months. It's been months since I said I wanted to buy something from Zoeva but there was just that little voice in the back of my head telling me not to spend my money. Months later when I finally decided I needed a new makeup brush I pushed that voice far, far back and forced myself to go onto the Zoeva website and get one
(blog post to come) and while I was there I thought since I was in need of a new blusher I would just go ahead and get one. Spur of the moment decisions eh?
I had heard many good reviews of their brushes but never really heard anything about their products so this was a new thing for me to try out myself. They had a small range of 6 individual blushers, 2 loose powder blushers and a blush palette. I wanted a light pink shade that wasn't too in your face but was still noticeable so I chose the colour
'Gentle Touch' and without even the slightest thought of regret I clicked the buy button, too late to turn back now.
When a box the size of a shoebox showed up at my door I was confused, I hadn't ordered anything this size. I went ahead and opened it anyway, hell it was addressed to me why wouldn't I? After using scissors, a chainsaw and a blowtorch to get the tape of, inside was about 2 million air pockets which lead me to think what needs this much packaging, well at the bottom of this massively packaged box was my brush and blusher. So apart from the rain forest that was over my bedroom floor I was excited to find out what this blusher was going to be like.
In my opinion the blusher is just the right size, not too big that it takes up your whole make up bag and not too small causing there to be very little of the actual product. It's a delicate little black case decorated with black silky patterns and the little name 'Zoeva' in white in the bottom right hand corner.
There is a beautiful little mirror when you open the blush which has the name 'Zoeva' written across the bottom middle and I think it looks very professional. The only thing I find is that the product ends up getting on the mirror making it difficult to see in.
I was very pleased when I eventually tried out this product because it was just what I wanted it to be, extremely pigmented with a subtle but noticeable colour and I also love that it has the Zoeva Slogan imprinted into the bottom of the blusher which is 'Color. Love. Makeup.' This Blush has a little shimmer to it but it is hardly noticeable at all which is perfect for me as I do not always get on with glitter/shimmery things.
So the moral to this story is, try out new things because you never know, you might just love it just like I did.
This is now one of my favourite and most used blushers and will hopefully purchase some other colours and possibly products from Zoeva.
I also thought this wasn't too expensive either so go over to the Zoeva website and check it out now.
