Those of you who have been following for me for a while, surely know about my love for Zoeva Eyeshadow palettes. I have 6 of them now and I am slowly trying to review all of them for you. In today’s post I am going to review the Zoeva Rose Golden Eyeshadow Palette. Read on to find out more.

This palette from Zoeva is not certainly a new release and has been around for quite a while, more than 18 months, although I am not exactly sure when was this exactly released. I got mine from Luxola (now Sephora.SG) more than a year back and I still love it the same amount as when I got it first.

I have said time and again on my YouTube channel that Zoeva palettes are just class apart in the mid-range eyeshadow palette category. I do prefer them more than the Morphe palettes. I highly recommend these palettes if you don’t want to spend on luxury items but want to buy something extraordinary at a reasonable price.

PACKAGING

This palette also has the classic Zoeva palette cardboard packaging which feels very sturdy. I like that these palettes don’t feel flimsy even though they have a cardboard packaging. They are very lightweight and sleek which makes them ideal for travel.

The palette doesn’t have a mirror. I, honestly, would have loved a mirror in these palettes but I am ok to look past that fact since the quality is so amazing.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

I love that this is a no parabens, no mineral oils, no fragrance, no phthalates product that means no harmful chemicals. The shadows are also infused with Vitamin E. Its a cruelty free and vegan-friendly brand. Recently, I am trying to move towards more cruelty free products since if there are such good companies who care about being cruelty free, we should be supporting them. I also like the fact that it mentions on the packaging that the shelf life of this palette is 36M, which is way more then any other palette I have ever used. So, that’s a big plus. The technical details of this palette basically make me a very happy buyer.

SHADOWS

Now, let go ahead and see the shadows which we get in this palette. As always, there are 10 shadows in this palette as well. You get 3 matte shadows and 7 beautiful shimmery and foiled shades. The theme of the palette is obviously rose golden, so you get a lot of different variants of rose golden shadows. Some shadows are more golden and some are more rosy with some interesting matte shades thrown in. I love the color scheme of this palette as I love anything rose golden.

PIGMENTATION

The pigmentation of this palette is just out of this world. I think I can’t complain about any of the shadows which are there in the palette. The mattes are soft and buttery and the shimmers are just so intense and foiled. The colour pay-off is absolutely amazing. Although for the shimmers, I do like to apply with my fingers as I find that provides more intensity than a brush. The mattes have very creamy formula, which is very easy to blend.

I would have loves a matte pink or a rose toned shade in this palette. I feel like whenever I create a look I always use a pink toned shadow with this palette. That’s probably only thing missing for me personally. Other than that, this is one of the perfect palettes I own definitely.

The shadows do also last quite a long time on the lids but I would definitely recommend a primer to be used with this. I feel like whenever I use a primer or some kind of a base, then these shadows sit more nicely and last longer.

PRICE

This palette costs SGD 39 in Singapore.

SWATCHES

These are swatches of the first row of the palette. I love the formula of all the shades and is very difficult to choose a favourite. The shimmers are absolutely gorgeous, specially the coppery shade.

This the second row of the palette and again this row is absolutely gorgeous as well. The second “Just a Rose” is a beautiful duo-chrome shade which is so beautiful and unique. Again nothing to complain about this row either.

This is a makeup look which I created with this palette. The tutorial is up on my channel. I will link it down below.

Overall, I would highly recommend this palette if you are someone looking for these tones. I don’t think you will regret it.

I love that this palette

  • Is cruelty free
  • free of harmful chemicals
  • has highly pigmented superior quality shadows
  • has a beautiful color range
  • has an expiry of 36M after opening which is quite long.
  • has shadows infused with Vitamin E

I don’t like that this palette

  • doesn’t have a mirror
  • doesn’t have a rose toned or pink matte shade
