Luxola.com & Zoeva's Makeup Artist Zoe Bag Review.
Good evening my loves! I am back from work and I am very eager to share with you guys a bag that I am obsessed with this past few months because its beautiful and I think it is one of the best investments I have ever made other the Eyfa Sufi's train case!
It is the Zoeva Makeup Artist Zoe Bag, it is a three compartment bag with zippers made form faux leather. It only comes in black and inside the bag consists a complete set of Zoeva brushes, all 25 of them! Do let me know in the comment section if you would like to see a break down of the brushes and what I do with them personally!
I purchased my Zoeva bag on Luxola.com, as for CITIBank credit card members you are able to enjoy up to 40% discounts and Luxola always has discounts sometimes of the week, so do subscribe to them so that you will be able to stand a chance to enjoy those special discounts!
Love about Luxola: They carry brands that are not found on the main market in Singapore such as Zoeva, Sleek, Sigma and BeautySoClean.
Hate about Luxola: Because its a sought after website in Singapore and they are niche in a way, their items always and I mean always goes out of stock fast. Luxola, please restock your items quickly, you need to feed my inner beauty nerd desperately!
This is the front view of how the Zoeva bag looks like, the faux leather is smooth has a handle, the stitching on this professionally done and has the signature metal piece engraved with their company's logo.
And yes the hand sanitiser is not included, that is to be used when I am about to start on a clients face so that my hands are sanitised and smells like peach cupcakes! Yum yum!
On each zipper, it has two zips and they are made from metal so it looks stylish and professional. And I like the fact it comes with the leather strap so you could open the zips with ease and swiftly!
This is how the zippers looks like in a clearer photos and the zips glides smoothly and nicely which makes it convenient for the user! I love the zippers! It has three spacious compartments that wil expand almost three times its size. I love the fact they built in room to put more things inside!
A closer look on the texture of the bag and the Bath & Body works hand sanitiser that I am obsessed now, Peach Pecan Cupcakes! Smells like autumn and fall!
A closer look on the metal piece that has ZOEVA brand engraved on it with the catch phrase: COLOUR, LOVE, MAKEUP.
Let's go inside the first compartment shall we? The first compartment consists of two mesh with zipper compartments and plastic three slots with openings. The mesh material is think so I think it would tear so easily and the plastic that was made to make the slots is thick as well, so it wont bend and cause dents so easily.
Top Left: I place extra fake lashes just in case my clients do not like the lashes I brought along in my train case. And the zipper makes everything neat and well separated from the others.
Top Right: I place my most favourite and cheap makeup wipes of all time and they are by Australis. It even removes mascara and extra duty gel liners! It is pretty amazing, but the best part it only costs $2 at the local Watsons here in Singapore! Go and get it girls! I go through these like crazy because they are so useful for everything! It is not scented and has the right amount of moisture to remove excess makeup! So useful.
Bottom left: I place mini sizes of makeup remover just in case I need to do different looks and I need to remove glitters. These are by Eveline Cosmetics which can be bought at Beauty Language outlets and Maybelline which can be bought at Guardian and Watsons! This tiny bottle only costs $2!
Bottom centre: I place my skin primers by MAC cosmetics, firstly its the MAC Pro Visage Oil controlling lotion. I like to use this on super oily brides because it helps to control the oil production on their faces. Secondly, is MAC's Strobe cream if I want an extra luminous skin for the bride or my client. But I will not recommend this for oily skin types though.
Bottom right: I place my BeautySoClean daily makeup brush remover, Sephora daily makeup brushes remover and the BeautySoClean cosmetic sanitiser. Although I love these products, I wish to find cheaper alternatives for these amazing products where I could spot clean my brushes between clients and looks and at the same time sanitise them as well. Do let me know at the 'Ask me' section above yeah? You can purchase BeautySoClean products here.
This is a closer look on the interior of the first compartment. So neat , professional and organised right?
And this is a closer look on the mesh pockets in the bag. So fine and detailed eh? I love it!
In the second compartment of the bag consists of a fully plastic lined interior that enables you slot in big face brushes. I would use it to place face brushes and big palettes, but in the mean time for me this compartment fits my brush apron perfectly!
I love the fact that the interior of this bag is fully lined with plastic so dirty brushes will not make the interior of the bag dirty. If it does get dirty with powder and liquid foundations, its just as simple as getting some makeup wipes and clean it off! Ingenuous isn't it?
Girls, this is the closer look at the bands on the bag! Thsi are stretchy and fits all sized face brushes! Love it!
This is a closer look with the Zoeva brushes that this bag came with, one band holds approximately three to four face brushes depending on the size.
Closer look on the face brushes by Zoeva, so divine! <3 And yes, I still keep my brushes in their packaging. I am OCD like that. Hehehe.
This is the third compartment and as you can see, its already packed to the brim but the bag is still able to hold on to so many products. This compartment has three magnetised mini compartments and some slots for you to put some eye or detail brushes. This is my favoruite part of the bag.
The mini compartments are made of plastic so you have to worry if something spilled in those slots because you can easily clean it and I love the fact that its spacious and stretchable.
The first compartment on the top I keep mainly eye products, which means mascaras, eyebrow pencils, eye lash curlers, shavers, tweezers, eye lash glues, scissors and eyebrow gels.
The compartment below it I keep mainly face stuff such as primers, illuminaters, and cheek tints. And I love the fact that the flaps has a magnetic close to them so its easy to flip them open and just flip down if you wanna close them! I love this bag!
The last compartment on the left comprises of eyeliner stuff, eyeliners, eyebases and eye pencils be it liquid, cream or dry! I love all my purchases! Like this post to see a full eyeliner collection!
And directly below the compartment consists of eye brush slots, and these usually act as a backup just in case, one brush from the brush apron is not working out for me, and all these brushes you see here are from the Artist bag itself. I must say, they are divine to use and wash them!
Here is a close up of the beautiful brushes, and do let me know if you girls want to see all the brushes and do a mini review on the brushes themselves yeah. But all I can say about the brushes is, they are amazing quality and they clean so easily as well.
Always remember to maintain them and do not use such harsh chemicals on them especially on natural haired brushes. Use baby shampoo or Dettol Antiseptic handwash for sensitive skin to clean them and add a little Olive Oil to condition them!
Verdict and Overall thoughts: If you are a makeup enthusiast and you know you will be using all the brushes in this kit you must grab this bag and the brushes as well! Its a 5/5!
If you are not a pro and you are beginning to try out brushes from Zoeva I do not suggest you buy this kit but you can buy in smaller sets or buy them individually on Luxola.com website so you could experiment them before investing in buying this kit.
Currently, this kit its out of stock so I would suggest to leave your email address at the Waitlist and they will get back to you once the stocks has arrived!
Amazing, classy, professional, neat, beautiful, well thought off product and organised.
