Hello!
Spring is almost here...I know for most people that's an exciting, happy thing, and I get it--I'm looking forward to planting my new garden, fresh berries, and spending more time in the sun. However, I have to admit--I prefer cool weather and rainy days. I know, I know--I'd feel differently if I had to deal with snow like most of the country! But while I'm enjoying the sneak-peeks of sun, I'll also be looking forward to a few more cozy read-by-the-fire kind of days.
Either way,
Zoya's Calm collection has some beautiful spring colors--pastels with a hint of smoke, which is how I like my spring palate. Let's take a look...

Coverage: 2 coats
Formula & application: Smooth and perfect
Description: Zoya AJ is a medium beige neutral with peachy-copper shimmer. This is my favorite type of neutral--understated, but with just a dash of something extra to make me feel special.

Coverage: 1 coat
Formula & application: Excellent
Description: Zoya Leif, my favorite of the collection, is a light sage cream that makes me think of new shoots popping out of the earth, and creamy guacamole. Darn it, now I want a burrito.
Zoya Vee

| Zoya Vee |
Coverage: 1 coat
Formula & application: Excellent
Description: Zoya Vee is a smoked plum, and another of my favorites from the collection. It has an understated feel while still being pretty, like an African violet or an earthy orchid. Subtle but rich at the same time.
So what do I think overall? This is an excellent set of colors to get you through spring. I continue to love Zoya's one-coat cremes, although the lighter ones in this collection did take two coats to cover my ridges. All are pretty, but the ones that really make my heart flutter are AJ, Leif, and Vee. :)
