Can’t decide between Zoeva Cocoa Blend or En Taupe palettes

Hey guys, I’ve been browsing beautybay for some nice eyeshadow palettes and brushes, and came across the Zoeva Cocoa Blend & En Taupe palettes. Both come with 10 shades for about $33 – CB is much more warm-toned while ET seems more on the subtle/cool-toned side.

They both look BEAUTIFUL and I could see myself using either palette every day – I am still experimenting with makeup and feel like I’m improving though. I am leaning more towards ET as I am looking for a matte white shade, and it seems slightly more suitable for work. I was wondering if any make-up addicts here have ever tried them and would be able to help!! I’d rather just buy one but if they really are worth it perhaps I’ll get the other one….later down the track….

I’ve read good reviews for both but just wanted to make sure that the bh community agrees! 😛

    So……..their discounts aren’t included on Zoeva but the cool palette is around half price anyway, it’s US$40 on Zoeva’s website…..but the discounts do apply on Natasha Denona so I just impulse bought the green brown palette at $104 off the original price…..OOPS!!!

      Hi Stay C thanks for replying ^^ I did think about how much cheaper cool spectrum is in comparison however I am soo weirdly attracted to the En Taupe! I keep thinking about how pretty it is and….how much I would use it for work :`(

      Nice impulse purchase though hahaha! It has such a beautiful range of shades! Browns, greens, rosy, copper!

    It depends on your colouring, I think the three pale shades in entaupe would be too pale for me but personally I’d forget both of them and get the Cool Spectrum palette which has 15 shades and is cheaper than the 10 pans, I don’t know why they’ve dropped the price but they no longer have the nude spectrum, which I have and love, or the warm spectrum so maybe it’s the end of their stock. I am right this minute going back and buying cool spectrum plus they have discounts on this weekend, WOO HOO!!!

    They both look stunning – I personally prefer the shades in Cocoa, as I feel like the three lightest shades in ET are very similar!

    They’re both so gorgeous! I haven’t personally used Zoeva eyeshadows but I know a lot of people are huge fans. I love the ET as cooler tones seem to look better on me. If you can’t decide between the two try instagram & youtube for a few tutorials to see which one you prefer once it’s on someone.

      Thanks mrsB, I have looked at some more swatches, and one youtube tutorial. Some swatches do make the shades look a lot more `contrasting` to each other than …other swatches, if that makes sense 😛
