Hi friends, this is going to be a slightly longer post as I am sharing two different categories of products from the brand ZOEVA . ZOEVA is a German company but the products are now available to us through Luxola.com that ships internationally.
Oh and before I even start let me share a discount coupon* which I would otherwise forget to mention:
BLX-GANDOTRA
Use the above coupon code at checkout for a whooping 30% off on Luxola.com
This is not an affiliate coupon - the people at Luxola are offering this as an introductory coupon for readers of Our External World so do make use of this great opportunity. And now coming back to what I got myself.
I have been itching to try out a bright pink coral lipstick so the first product I am sharing is the ZOEVA Cream Lipstick, shade Melting Kisses. ZOEVA cream lipsticks are long-wearing creamy lipsticks. They have high pigmentation and can sustain a meal with very little fading.
The lipsticks are enriched with ivy, mallow and elder flower. All ZOEVA Luxe Cream lipsticks are paraben-free.
ZOEVA Luxe Cream lipsticks come with a magnetic cap and minimalist packaging which is very chic and spells luxury.
Melting Kisses is described as a warm mellow pink. On my wheatish skin tone it appears very coral - a bit too bright for my liking. I think this shade is more suited for the fairer skin tones but can be worn by medium fair skin tones as well. I plan to wear this with a slightly brown lip liner underneath to tone down the brightness a bit. I love the swatch but I'm not comfortable wearing such bright shades so will have to do with a toned down version :)
ZOEVA Luxe Cream Lipstick Price: Rs 759.50
My Rating: 4/5
And now coming to the makeup brushes. ZOEVA has a wide array of brushes. I tried the ZOEVA Luxe brushes. This time the brushes I got were a face paint brush, a highlight brush, a crease brush and a cheek brush.
The 224 Defined Crease brush is a great tool for defining the crease. This works well with powder and pigmented eye shadows. It picks up the product easily and gives easy application.
And the last brush I got is the 126 Luxe Cheek Finish brush. This is essentially a blush brush. I normally use my kabuki brush for applying blush but this is better suited for a precise application of powder blushes. It has dome shaped flat head and is also suitable for applying bronzer or highlighter to larger skin surfaces.
These brushes are all made of natural-synthetic hair. The bristles are dye-free and the texture is super duper soft - the kinds you just want to keep touching! There has been no fallout so far.
ZOEVA 105 Highlight Brush Price: Rs 970
ZOEVA 109 Face Paint Brush Price: Rs 1140
ZOEVA 224 Defined Crease brush: Rs 570
ZOEVA 126 Luxe Cheek Finish Price: Rs 1140
My Rating: 5/5 (I see no cons in these lovely brushes!)
Overall I am quite impressed with the products - both the lipstick and the brushes from this brand. I hope to try out more products from Zoeva. I am glad Luxola.com ships to India and shipping is free for orders above Rs 2300. Customs charges on all packets are already paid so rest assured that you will not have to pay any import duty. The Delhi customs charged me a duty amount (which is quite high for cosmetics - around 26% of the order amount) but Luxola gladly sorted it out.
Shipping is available to other countries as well so do check out their site Luxola.com for all the details.

I love the packaging of these brushes. Each brush comes in its own zip pouch. These pouches are not just great for storing the brushes but would be great travel companions as well. (I think I have so many travel sized products and travel friendly pouches now that I should plan a travel soon - hello cities of this world - is anyone calling me out?)
Sorry for the distraction - back to the brushes. The 105 Luxe Highlight brush is a contouring brush for the nose, cupids bow and cheekbones. It has a tapered end that is perfectly suited to highlighting the smaller regions of the face with precision. The next brush you see in the picture below is the 109 Luxe Face Paint brush. This is a flat square shaped brush which is great for shaping and contouring the face. It sits perfectly on the face to provide you precision when you are contouring your cheeks.
