Zoeva Brush Set Review


I haven't blogged for some time, but finally.. I have a Zoeva Brush Set Review for you!

The brush set I have is called the Luxe Complete Set. The set contains five face brushes; 101 luxe face definer, 102 silk finish, 105 luxe highlight, 126 luxe cheek finish and the 142 concealer buffer. There are also ten eye brushes; 221 luxe soft crease, 224 luxe defined crease, 227 luxe soft definer, 228 crease, 230 luxe pencil, 231 luxe petit crease, 234 luxe smokey shader, 315 fine liner, 317 wing liner and the 322 brow line. They came with a zipped pouch which I have used to store my brushes and also as a makeup bag.


Here are some of my favourites:
102 silk finish brush- This is perfect for buffing in my foundation. It's a favourite and has been my 'go to' recently. It's extremely soft, as you would expect from a 'silk' finish brush. It applies my foundation in a way that doesn't make it look cakey and it leaves my skin looking like skin!
101 luxe face definer- I like to use this to apply powder. I have to admit I have experienced shedding with this particular brush, but it is very soft and does the job well.
221 luxe soft crease, 224 luxe defined crease, 227 luxe soft definer, 228 crease, 230 luxe pencil, 231 luxe petit crease and the 234 luxe smokey shader- I love all of the eye shading brushes. They apply eye shadows really well and the fact that there are so many is great; there is always a clean brush available for applying a new colour or blending.

These Zoeva brushes are very soft and are of a good quality. I have experienced a little shedding but only with one of these brushes, so nothing excessive. If you are new to makeup or are just looking for some affordable brushes I would definitely recommend these. They do the job well and some are very similar in shape to the MAC brushes. You can also buy these brushes individually. So if you don't want or need a whole set, that option is there!

I would rate these brushes 4/5

I hope you found this brush review helpful. If I missed anything, feel free to get in contact by posting a comment of sending me a tweet!

Do you have any makeup brush recommendations?

My First Birchbox


Receiving my Birchbox in the post was a lovely way to start my day and I was pleasantly surprised! What made the box feel special is the way everything was packaged. All of the bits I got came inside a cute draw string bag, which was inside a little box. Not only this, but with Birchbox you are able to create your profile by selecting things such as your; skin type, skin colour, hair colour etc.. so all the products you receive are personalised to you.


Bits I received:
Stila Lip Glaze - Gleam EN
Beauty Protector - Protect and Detangle Leave in Conditioner
REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewel Mask
Shaveworks The cool fix
Activebod Feel Great Shower Concentrate
Embrace Matcha Green Tea
Birchbox Pilates Band

The box also included some information cards and a little booklet of 12 bite-sized challenges. Some of these challenges also gave tips on how I could use my Birchbox products (which I found quite helpful and motivational)!


By receiving this box every month I hope to find lots of new products to talk to you about! 
Have you tried Birchbox? What are your thoughts?
