Event | GOSH AW Collection

Last week I was lucky enough to attend the launch of the GOSH Autumn Winter collection in London. The venue was a large room in a hotel that was the perfect setting as there was lots of space to view the products and features such as a huge stained glass window which made a beautiful back drop.

I attended the event with Rachel from Beauty Queen UK and on arrival we were greeted by the lovely PR girls who as always were very welcoming. After selecting one of the delicious drinks (lychee lemonade) and sampling the pretty canapes we headed straight over to the makeup stands displaying the gorgeous new AW collection. 

Eyeshadow Palettes

The first stand we looked at had three beautiful palettes that each had nine shades in them. All of them looked beautiful and sported a large range of colours so there is something for everyone whether your a fan of brights (To Play With in Vegas palette), blue tones (To Have Fun With in LA palette) or neutrals (To Enjoy in New York). My favourite palette is the New York palette and is the one pictured above. It's very pretty! The shades are super pigmented, there is a good variety of shades and the sleek palette shows them off perfectly.

Velvet Touch Lipsticks

Next we had a look at the pretty lipsticks on offer, eight to be precise and swatched our favourites. I loved the look of the two pictured above, two pretty pink shades that were very pigmented. I've used GOSH lipsticks before and really liked them so it's great to see more have been added to the collection!

Giant Blush

The blushes are a product that really excited me when I saw them and are a favourite of mine along with the New York Eyeshadow palette. I love the concept of these blushes because they are super easy to use on the go as they can be applied without a brush and are also multiple purpose. All three shades are beautiful and easy to wear.. I look forward to trying them!

Mascara and Brow Gel

Other products we looked at included an eye brow gel that is available in three shades and two mascara's.  The first, the Crazy Volume Mascara is in funky bright pink packaging and is said to give lashes a major volume boost that lasts for hours whereas the second, Double Precision Mascara, is two ended in order to add precise definition and volume.

Mineralise Powder and Brush

Last but not least we looked at the Mineralise Powder and Brush which looked lovely. Four different shades are available and the product aims to provide luminous flawless skin with medium to full coverage. I'm excited to try this product because I've never tried one like it, it's also paraben and perfume free.

Once we had a look at all the products we were treated to a manicure (which after seven days still looked flawless) and also a make over using the new products in the collection. It was really great to try out the products and ask the makeup artist more about them. I really loved the finished look  and can't wait to try them out for myself! The New York palette and blushes were definitely the stand out products for me from this collection!

The GOSH AW collection is now available in Superdrug stores and definitely worth a look as the products are beautiful! The website is here.

GOSH Forever Eyeshadow Stick Review

In today's post I will be sharing some stunning cream eyeshadow sticks with you which are from the GOSH SS14 collection. This product is named the '*Forever Eyeshadow Stick' and rightly so because the staying power is like nothing I have seen before in a cream product!

The colours in this collection are stunning and I would definitely wear them all. There are eight in total, four of which I have included here but the others are definitely worth a look too. Beige is a gorgeous light champagne which works beautifully as a highlighter or even all over the lid.  The others in my collection, brown, light copper and grey all look gorgeous over the lid too or in the outta corner and crease to add a little more depth and dimension to the eye. My favourite combination is to use light copper over my lid and then brown in my crease.

As I mentioned previously, the staying power of these cream eyeshadow's is amazing. When you first apply them the formulation is soft and creamy so it is extremely easy to blend with your fingers or a brush but when you stop working it quickly sets and stays in place all day without creasing or moving. The product is very hard to remove with simply water and soap which I discovered when trying to wash off the swatches but it can easily be taken off with make-up remover without rubbing or irritating the eyes which is perfect.

The packaging of the Forever Eyeshadow Sticks is just as gorgeous and works perfectly with this product type. I love that the outta casing represents the colour of the product inside and to access the product you simply twist up the bottom. This means there is no needs for sharpening and you can really get the most of this product as there is no wastage.

I absolutely love the Forever Eyeshadow Sticks and will be definitely buying the other colours in the collection. They are perfect to wear during the day or evening particularly if you need something to stay put all day This is definitely a product you can rely on each and every one of the shades looks beautiful.

Priced at only £5.99 the GOSH Forever Eyeshadow Sticks are a bargain and worth every penny and more. The quality cannot be faulted.

GOSH SS14 Lipstick Collection

L - R Sweetheart, Nude, Innocent, Romance, Yours Forever)
Today's post is all about lipsticks and more specifically the *Spring lipstick collection from GOSH. In total there are eight lipsticks in the collection and today I will be sharing five of them with you.

The GOSH Velvet Touch Lipsticks contain light-reflecting pigments and nourishing vegetable oils to keep the lips moisturised as well as vitamin E which protects the lips against free radicals.  They feel extremely comfortable to wear as they are very light and do not dry out the lips at all which I love because I can't stand wearing make-up that feels heavy and cakey. 

The first lipstick I wore was Yours Forever which is a gorgeous rich berry toned pink/red which at first I feared would end up everywhere. However, I was mistaken. This lipstick lasted for a good couple of hours despite drinking and chatting and thankfully it stayed in place. There's nothing worse than wearing a bright lipstick that ends up on your teeth and around your face because not only do they look unflattering but they can sometimes stain a little too.

The pigmentation of the GOSH lipsticks varies depending on the colour as there is a mixture of both sheer and opaque shades in the collection and whilst the selection isn't huge there is a good variety so there should be something to suit most people.

The colours I have in my collection are:

161 - Sweetheart - A dark brown nude

162 - Nude  - This is a much lighter nude which is a little more sheer

155 - Innocence - A pretty pink which will make a gorgeous make-up look in Summer

156 - Romance -  This baby pink is the sheerest of them all

158 - Yours Forever - A beautiful berry toned pink/red

My favourite shades are Yours Forever, Innocent and Romance. I can definitely see myself wearing these a lot over the Spring and Summer. Priced at £6.49 in Superdrug I think the GOSH lipsticks are brilliant value for money and definitely worth a look. The packaging is also a gorgeous mixture of matte and shiny black which I love as it makes them feel a lot more expensive than what they actually are.

GOSH SS14 PRODUCT LAUNCH

Hi Guys! Last week I attended the launch of the Spring/Summer 2014 collection for GOSH cosmetics with the lovely Rachel from Beauty Queen UK so in today's post I would like to share what we got up to.

I was really looking forward to attending this event because I hadn't actually tried any GOSH product before so I was intrigued to see what they were like and of course it's always exciting when a new range is launched.  When we arrived we were greeted by our lovely hosts as well as a glass of bubbly and quickly introduced to one of the make-up artists who was giving make overs using the new products. This gave us a really great opportunity to learn more about the products whilst having our own little make-over. 

After browsing and swatching the other products on offer we headed over to the nail area where we both had a manicure.  After taking some deliberation I decided to have a manicure with Frosted Plum which is a gorgeous deep, matte plum with specs of gold and red glitter. I've had this polish on my nails all week and a lot of people have commented on how lovely it is so this one is definitely a winner!

The GOSH Cosmetics Spring and Summer collection is full of bright and playful colours which I was very impressed with.  The collection includes eight very pigmented lipsticks in a range of colours so whether you're into nudes or brights there is something for everyone.  During my make-over they applied 'Yours Forever' which a bright red which I really like because it is a true red rather than being orange toned.  It left my lips with a beautiful shine, felt very comfortable to wear and surprisingly it stayed in place all evening.. very impressive! These lipsticks also include vitamin E and oils to protect the lips and keep them nourished.  

The new collection also includes eight lip lacquers which are a hybrid between a lipstick/stain and lip gloss. This is definitely a product you could wear on it's own or over a lipstick to give it a more glossy finish and the range includes highly pigmented colours as well as more sheer shades.  The lip laquers are enriched with vitamin E and Argan oil too so they don't dry out your lips which is great because these are products you would wear for many hours at a time.  I had the red shade 'Hot Lips' over the top of my lipstick and it finished off the look really one.  Anyone who likes to add a beautiful shine to their lips should definitely check these out.

The stand out products for me in the GOSH SS14 collection are the Forever Eyeshadow Sticks. All of the colours in this collection (eight in total) are stunning and easy to wear and I love the metallic finish they have. The formula is extremely creamy and soft so they are very easy to blend but when you stop working with the product they settle and are very long lasting. I had swatches of these eyeshadows on my hand all evening and they didn't smudge at all. In fact, it took quite a lot of effort to get them off when I got in, however, the product was removed easily from my eyes using make-up remover. These eyshadows are definitely a must see!

Next in the collection is an assortment of five nail lacquers which are all packed full of glitter but have a matte finish.  I'm not normally a fan of textured polishes but I really like these ones because they have the pretty glitter running throughout them. My favourite in the collection is Frosted Plum quickly followed by Frosted Rose.

Last but not least is a very unique product called Prime 'N Set. This is a fine white powder which can can used to set your make-up as well as a primer too. I love the idea of a two in one product and I'm really interested to see how this works and give it a try as it's so different from anything I have used before. Prime 'N Set is also said to minimise pores, fine lines, redness and imperfections

I will be doing a detailed review on each of the products from the SS14 collection so if you're interested in finding out more about them watch this space!
