Last week it was my birthday, so I decided to spoil myself and do some shopping at Sephora. Most things I wanted were sold out, but when I saw the Zoeva Cosmetics Mixed Metals Eyeshadow Palette, I splurged a little and grabbed it. (Sadly it was one of the only Zoeva Cosmetics palettes left in stock.) I had never tried this brand before either, so I was not too sure what to expect.
I'm a really big fan of wearing metallic and shimmery shades, so this palette was right up my alley. I thought that a lot of the shades included were fairly unique and I probably didn't have a million dupes - unlike nude shades.
The Mixed Metals eyeshadow palette comes with ten metallic shades, each as gorgeous as the last. All ten are fairly pigmented, perhaps except Warm Silver, which is more of a highlight shade anyway.
I was most excited to try out Rusty Steel, Platinum and Aluminum - typical neutral type shades. I was also pretty interested in finding out just how pigmented Onyx was - as a matte black shade seems to be a standard inclusion with palettes like this these days.
Alloy, Neo Brass, Bronce, Rusty Steel, Copperplate
Warm Silver, Platinum, Ore Stone, Aluminum, Onyx
Above swatches were three layers each, no eye shadow primer.
I was pretty impressed with the shades I was looking forward to try. I love all the shades and they will be perfect to create a unique smokey eye look - especially with the incredibly pigmented Onyx. The shades were really easy to work with, buttery soft and blends like a dream. I was also delighted to find the shades to be quite buildable which means you can tone it down if you need to.

For less than $40.00, I can safely say this is a great investment for those who love their metallic shades. I'm really happy with this palette and I'll get a lot of use out of it - especially come winter.
Have you tried any of the Zoeva Cosmetics eyeshadow palettes? If so, what are your thoughts?

I love this palette! I have never tried any of their makeup though I do own the brushes... I gave this palette away in a blog giveaway last year and I wish I had got one for myself too :)

Looking forward to trying some Zoeva palettes. I think "I wanted to get [XYZ] from Sephora but it was sold out" is becoming a bit of a common refrain!!
ReplyDeleteThe Zoeva palettes are such a bargain! I've been seeing so many rave reviews about them so I think I need to make the trip to Sephora to swatch for myself :)
ReplyDeleteOooh this looks like an awesome palette! Zoeva palettes are also a little cheaper on the beautybay too! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the look of this palette, the shades are perfect for the mixed metals theme they have going on, however there's a few shades I probably wouldn't touch. I have the rose gold palette from zoeva and I'm yet to touch it xx
ReplyDeleteI agree, there's a few in there that will get rarely used. I really want the rose gold palette too, it looks so pretty! xx
ReplyDeleteYeah I've seen that but it was my birthday so I wanted it then and there haha xx
ReplyDeleteThey really are - I was so surprised to find how cheap they were! Definitely go swatching ;) xx
ReplyDeleteOmg it really is, isn't it... so sad! xx
ReplyDeleteI've actually been wearing them together .. we both obviously have great taste haha xx
ReplyDeleteOmg you must - you will love them! xx
ReplyDeleteOhhh how lucky for whoever won haha you definitely should have grabbed one for yourself! xx
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I love these shades, and I do love a good metallic palette. I have the Rodeo Belle Zoeva but want to photograph it properly before starting it!
