Have I told you about the smell? Oh the smell. I almost throw it on my plate every time I open it. Who can resist the smell of cocoa?

Well anyways, I hope you enjoy this antique olive green makeup pictorial look. Leggo!

Review : Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette

Hey guys! Hi. Hello. 

Thank you for dropping by.

If you are here on this page, that pretty much means that you would like to read my thoughts on the gorgeous Zoeva Cocoa Blend palette. You're in luck, cause I'm throwing in swatches of all the eyeshadows on here as well. I'm just gonna save you from the dreadful of listening reading 1001 reasons why I bought this palette. It was love at first sight, I wanted it, I needed it probably, I bought it. It's done kay? Naa aaa aaa syyhh syhhh not a word ok? *I just face palm-ed you there*

Just one word to describe this palette.

Beautiful.

Pigmented.

Gorgeous.

Stunning.

Rosa.

Linda.

Okay maybe 6 words, but who's counting? Ngehh.

This palette featured 10 eyeshadows with a good mixture of matte, satin & shimmery finish. The color hues are mostly warm toned with an exception of couple cool neutral colors. What caught my eyes first was the beautiful warm cranberry red eyeshadow and its pigmentation does not disappoint me at all. Most of the eyeshadows are so smooth and pigmented, but of course there's always the few that do not perform as well. That's just how life works, yeah?

All eyeshadows are housed in a thick cardboard palette that comes with an insert. 

Isn't she lovely. Isn't she wonderful. Isn't she precioussss.

Now onto the eyeshadows and the swatches.

♥Bitter Start♥

The first top row color that you get is this subtle off white color called Bitter Start. It has semi matte finish and comes off a little bit powdery. It's not really pigmented when you first swatch it but it is definitely buildable. I wouldn't say the start is bitter. I would call it, Chin Up Be Confident. Some motivation there, girl. But anyway, I love using this color to set my eye primer and to highlight the brow bone. It'll look beautiful as all over lid color for a simple effortless makeup look.

♥Sweeter End♥

Next up we have Sweeter End, a light peachy shimmery color. The texture feels light and soft. It's pretty pigmented but the color does not really pop. I don't fancy this color that much anyway. Sweeter End you say? More like, Know Your Place Please. Haha.

♥Warm Notes♥

This color right here is what draws me to this palette in the first place. The warm cranberry red color is spot on beautiful and totally right up my alley. It has shimmery finish with rich buttery high pigmented texture. Sooo gorgeous!

♥Subtle Blend♥

Subtle Blend is a warm golden bronze-y color with shimmery satin finish. This color is sooo buttery smooth and pigmented. This will look beautiful to be used for dark smokey bronze look.

♥Beans are White♥

Beans are white. Oo..kay?
But this color is a deep cool toned brown with a matte finish. This eyeshadow is the most disappointing one as the color is has the least pigmentation. I built up this swatch with so many layers, I almost could see smokes coming out from my finger. Ishhh spoil betul. As you can see, the color is definitely buildable if you want to darken up your look. But maybe after 18 minutes of layering lah.

♥Pure Ganache♥

Pure Ganache is a bright golden coppery color with warm undertone and metallic sheen finish. Another one of my top fav from this palette. I think this color is dupeable for sure but it is still gorgeous nevertheless.

♥Substitute for Love♥

Ahhhh. Should I say more? I reallyyyy love it when a palette includes a blending color, especially a warm orange brown like this one. Purrfectttt. It looks almost similar to my all time fav Creme Brulee eyeshadow by Makeup Geek, only a little bit darker and warmer.

♥Freshly Toasted♥

A reddish deep brown with warm undertone and matte finish. Another color that I really really appreciate being included in a palette. On top of that, it has great buttery pigmentation and rich in color without being powdery like most matte eyeshadow tends to have. Perfecto!

♥Infusion♥

Infusion is a dark brown coffee color with a hint of gold glitter in it. I was pleasantly surprised with the pigmentation as I did not expect it to be as pigmented as it is. I have encountered many similar concept eyeshadows like this; you know the ones with a sprinkle of glitter or shimmer in it, but most of them is very chalky and needs to be built up. This one however surpasses my expectation. But the glitter looks subtle on the lid so don't expect to have full on disco ball glitter on your eyelids.

♥Delicate Acidity♥

The last eyeshadow in this palette is called Delicate Acidity, which is a very beautiful cool toned mauve-y taupe with satin sheen finish. Beautiful isn't? This one has great pigmentation too and packs on really smooth on the lids.

Top Row

Bottom Row

PROS:

- Consist of variety finish and formulation, from matte to metallic sheen

- Great pigmentation

- Value for money

- Slim and lightweight packaging

- It has transition eyeshadow color (which is a major brownies point for me)

- Color varsity from light to deep, warm to cool tones

CONS:

- Couple of miss eyeshadows in term of texture and pigmentation

MY FINAL VERDICT:

I loveeee this palette so much. Swatches above speak from themselves. It is a great palette to be added to your collection. Although the colors are not unique and are likely to be similar to the ones you probably own, I really think that everyone should have this palette as it consolidates all the eyeshadows that you need; either for simple laid back daily look or intense bronze/golden look. One palette for all katanya kau oi. I highly recommend it. You cannot beat the price for such great quality eyeshadows in the palette.

Okay, I'm out of vocabulary now. Aigibab. Signing out. 

Get the palette HERE for only RM89. Or you can pre-order from CakeFaceConfession here on IG where I got mine.

Tutorial #25 : Midnight Violet Makeup Look ft Smashbox Double Exposure palette

Hello my beautiful people. Selamat Hari Raya!

Today's look revolves around some deep blue, violet and sparkly silver eyeshadow colors that are all in the Smashbox Double Exposure palette. I picked this palette up couple of months ago and I had just played with it. I'm telling you, I wish I had used it way sooner. The colors are so beautiful and pigmented. You can use all the eyeshadows as it is or you can amp up the intensity by using it wet without messing with the eyeshadow's texture. Awesome stuff. Haha.

Well, here are the ingredients used to achieve this look:

Step #1:
After priming your eyelids, take Makeup Geek's Cupcake, a dusty cool toned pink; and blend it on the crease. This will act as the transition color for deep blue and purple that will be used later on. Blend blend blend sampai berputaq tangan tooodiaaaaah!

Step #2:
Then, take Fig from the palette and blend it into the crease as well to deepen it more.

Step #3:

Next, use Temper and place it into the outer corner of the eye and blend it inwards.

Lagu tu.

Step #4:

Use Midnight and place it on the outer V of the eyelid as well to darken up the look.

Step #5:

Here I used the color Blanc and place it on the bare area of the eyelid. I spritzed on some Mac Fix+ on the brush and use the eyeshadow wet to intensify the color.

Step #6:

After that, wing out them liner and put on your fav falsies.

Lastly, line the waterline with the eyeliner combination of Sephora Stiletto and Zoeva Blue Lotus to achieve that vibrant violet color. Take the color Midnight and place it on the lower lash line, smoking it out with Cupcake. Highlight the inner corner with Blanc (dry) and the brow bone with Veiled.

Fuhhhh, penggunaan palette tahap maksima di situ.

Maka, silakan posing dengan bunga plastik from Ikea sambil mengibas2 kelopak mata dekat abam meatball mintak gravy lebih. Eh eh.

Tutorial #24 : Ultimate Eid Smokey Glam Makeup Look

Raya yeay! Raya yeay!

Have no idea what makeup look to go on Eid? Getting bored of the same neutral natural look? Don't worry bebeh, I gots you. 

*ini bukan iklan Go Shop*

What better excuse to pop on those glittery glitz glam eye look other than to merempuh rumah orang during Raya? Meriahnya raya kata kau, tak cukup lampu liplap liplap kau lilit dekat pagar rumah. Mata pun nak kena begermelapan.

Oh, gemerlapan. Bunga bunga matahari, anggun mekarrrr.

No? 

"Pem, aku cinta pada kau Pem" *suara itik*

No? Gemerlapan anyone?

Okay, I speak alien language if you haven't already know.

If you want to know how I achieve this look. then keep on scrolling down bebeh.

Step #1:

Prime your eyelids to prevent eyeshadows from creasing. Use Makeup Geek Peach Smoothie and dust it on the crease; blending it upwards.

Step #2:

Use Makeup Geek Cocoa Bear and place it in the crease as well. Make sure to blend it with the transition color in Step 1. Blend tonyoh tenyeh kamonnnnn hiyarghhhh~

Step #3:

To darken the crease even more, use Makeup Geek Mocha and blend it into the outer V. Blend the color into the crease all the way to the inner lids.

Step #4:

To make the look smokier, use Makeup Geek Corrupt and pat it in the outer V. Don't worry if the eyeshadow gets all over the edge of your eyes. You can clean it up later and the world will become a better place again. Mihmih.

Step #5:

Next, use any green or dark eyeshadow color as a base before slapping on the glitter. This can help the glitter to pop even more. I mixed the green and turquoise eyeshadow from Marc Jacob The Siren palette and place it all over the eyelids.

Step #6:

And now the fun part. The glitter. Ahhh, it feels like bombarding someone's place with confetti. Meriahhhh. I use glitter from Beauty Bar Baby in the shade Enchanted Forest (I bought it via cakefaceconfession_ from Instagram). And gewwrllll, this pic doesn't do justice to this gorgeous glitter. It look more eye catching-ly sparkly in person.

 Remember, use glitter glue to make the glitter stick onto your lids. Otherwise, people might mistook Raya for Halloween with all the glitters all over your face.

Take a cotton bud and put some makeup remover on the tip, and slowly clean up the edge of your eye like so.

Step #7:

After popping on your fav falsies, use any golden eyeshadow to highlight the inner corner. I used here KathleenLight eyeshadow from Where The Light Is eyeshadow quad by Colourpop.

Line your waterline with black no smudging eyeliner and set it Makeup Geek Corrupt eyeshadow. Then take Makeup Geek Cocoa Bear and smoke out the lower lash line.

Tadaaaaa~

Maka pergilah dikau kibas kibas kelip kelip mata dekat jiran sebelah bagaikan mata kena getik dengan pepatung. Atoiiii~

Beraya mana tahun ni?

Ingat macam nak beraya belah suami tahun ni.

Tapi tetiba teringat...

Aku mana kawen lagi. Bahahaha~

Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslim in the world!
