Hello there lovelies!
Recently, I was looking for some new make-up brushes. I was particularly looking for a new foundation brush and some new eye shadow brushes. I had heard the name 'Zoeva' floating around the blogosphere and decided to have a little nosey at their website. Upon arriving at their website, I was instantly drawn to this large advert for a new limited edition Rose Golden Luxury Set (anything rose gold is a win for me). I immediately clicked and my mind was already made, these were the brushes I was going to buy! A set of 8 make-up brushes, a mixture of face and eye brushes, was just perfect for what I needed and coming with a handy leather look pouch was always a bonus. Coming from Germany, this brush set works out at £49.00 and the shipping costs are £7.50. All together, coming to £56.50, I think for an 8 piece brush set and pouch, this is very good value and I am definitely going to be purchasing some more brushes from Zoeva in the future! Now onto the stuff we really want to hear about, the brushes themselves!
The brush set came beautifully packaged, with each brush in an individual plastic sleeve and extra protectors on the larger brushes. The brushes then came in a loose brown pouch, which was placed inside the leather look pouch. The leather look pouch will be so handy for keeping all of my make-up brushes together when I go on holiday in June! I love the colour combination of this set, with the brown and rose gold accents and hardware. It's effortless, but looks so lovely!

The silk finish brush is amazing for foundation. The bristles are packed in and really dense and makes it really easy and smooth to buff and work the foundation into the skin. Using this brush gives such a lovely silky finish to foundation (hence the name!) and helps to keep the look of foundation natural. The powder brush is the perfect size for me, not too big so I drown in a face full of bristles, and not too small that it can't evenly dust powder over my face. It is super soft and fluffy and feels so nice against your skin, cannot recommend it enough! I use the face shape brush for cream contour and for blending out contour and blush to a nice natural finish. It works perfectly for this and I'm sure I will be using it much more in the coming months with cream products, as my love for them grows! Possibly my favourite from the set, the luxe sheer cheek brush. This brush is unbelievably soft and is a perfect fit for the apples of my cheeks, perfect for applying powder blush and I even use the very edge for applying a powder highlight. I love a good multi-tasker!

Normally, I would blend my concealer out with my finger and leave it at that so this concealer buffer brush has completely changed the way that I apply my concealer. Towards the end of the day I used to find that the concealer around my nose would sometimes begin to look a little cakey, which nobody wants! Using the concealer buffer to work the concealer in really has made a difference and I feel it makes the concealer look like my skin rather than it is sitting ontop of skin. The size of this brush is perfect because it fits into all the little nooks and crannies that you may want to reach with concealer, like around the nose and in the corner of the eyes. I use the petit crease brush to add a bit of smoke to an eye look on the lower lash line. It is the perfect size to fit under the lower lash line and smoke it out. I had been looking for a nice sized fluffy blending brush for a while, so when the luxe soft definer came in this set, I was chuffed and it's the perfect size. It fits in the crease of the eye perfectly to blend out the edges of your eye make-up seamlessly. Finally, the wing liner brush. Now I very rarely wear liner (mainly because I'm rubbish at it), but with the purchase of this brush I decided to have a go at liner. I prefer to use a regular eyeshadow as liner and create a slightly smudged and smokey lined look. This brush make it a lot easier because of how thin it is and how small it is. Short strokes make it a lot easier to apply. Anything that makes liner easier to apply, I'm all for it!
This collection is amazing. The quality of the brushes is amazing for the price that you pay. They are extremely easy to clean and the white bristles mean that you can see that all of the product is off and that they are completely clean. I am looking forward to getting lots of use out of these brushes and will definitely be buying some more brushes from Zoeva in the future. I would highly recommend these to anyone and if you like the look of them you can find them HERE.
Speak to you soon,
