Oh GOSH! :) (Review, photos, swatches)

Hello everyone! 

Today I nipped to Superdrug.. with no intention of buying anything.. but I couldn't resist.

This time it was a GOSH!

I think they have a few new products there, eye shadow quads, lipsticks, lip glosses, eyeliners etc.

I originally wanted their waterproof eyeliner in a different shade to what I've got, but after seeing couple of new products I could not hold myself from getting them too.. and they also had 3 for 2 offer on GOSH brand in Superdrug.. So here we are :D

Things that I got:

GOSH nail polish in 009 Bright Idea,  lipstick in 150 Kitten Pink & waterproof velvet touch eye liner in Metallic Brass

 

 First, Bright Idea nail polish from GOSH.

 All I have to say is - I'm so in love with this colour and formula. 

How gorgeous is this colour? I'm a huge fan of neutral nail polishes for every day wear. 

And this colour is brilliant, creamy nude, not to light like Essie, not a dark nude, not orange.. just pure perfection in my eyes anyway..

I thought I would compare it to other nude shades so you can get an idea of the colour :)

L to R: Essie Marshmallow, GOSH Bright Idea, No 7 Practically Perfect, GOSH Miss Sweety

GOSH Bright Idea nail polish

 This nail polish is a limited edition apparently :( I feel like I need a back up of this.. 

The most amazing thing about this nail polish is that I needed only 2!!! coats to get an opaque colour!

Even with some more expensive brands you sometimes need more coats.. and especially nude colours tend to be very sheer.. 

I would definitely recommend this nail polish if you like nudes and you better get it now as it is a limited edition and once it's sold out it's gone :(

Now is the lipstick.

 I compared it to other pinks I've got as well.

 As you can see they all look pretty much the same.. warm bright pinks...

GOSH Kitten Pink is in the middle.

Ithink it is very close in colour to MAC Viva Glam Nicki but less neon and more wearable, and also more creamy. The pigmentation is wonderful. So I would say if you thought Nicki was too neon bright, or you want a cheaper alternative, GOSH Kitten Pink is the one. 

Looking at how many pink lipsticks I've got I think I've got to stop buying them lol 

 Out of them all, in terms of shade, I think my favourite is Nyx Fig, as it is the most wearable out of the all, which I can pull off to work, for instance, whereas the rest are well out of my comfort zone but still great :)

L to R: L'oreal Freshly Candy, Nyx Fig, Gosh Kitten Pink, MAC Viva Glam Nicki, Sleek Heartbraker

 And.. Finally..

GOSH waterproof velvet touch eye liners

The top one I've had for a while and have used a lot (It need sharpening, sorry for that)

These are great eye liners. They last a long time but there are longer lasting eyeliners.

But I still think they are great quality for a drugstore brand.

They are very soft and velvety, so easy to apply.

They look wonderful on waterline too, though you would have to reapply for an intense effect.

They are also great for smokey effect as it is so easy to blend these.

I would say these start to smudge after 8 hours of wear which I think is pretty good.

Metallic Brass shade is gorgeous. 

I can see how it will look wonderful with a smokey eye or on a waterline.

I quite like some products from this brand.

I really wanted some of their blushes for a while but they seem to be sold out all the time in my local Superdug.

I better check them somewhere else.

What do you think about GOSH brand? 

Are there products from this brand you really like and would recommend?

Would you like to try products from this brand?

Please share.

I'm curious to know your opinion xx

Thank you for reading.

I hope you found something useful.

FOTD: every day look, Angelina Jolie inspired

Hey Guys..  I really liked her look on this photo and decided to create a similar look. I especially liked the lip effect which, I still didn't figure how to achieve, though I still tried.

I quite like this look. It is a great every day look that would look good with nude or bright lipstick. 

The only thing, I did have similar false lashes and I didn't do the wing with an eye liner.

 It's a shame I look nothing like her, she is just gorgeous :)

Mascara overview

Today I'm doing an overview of the mascaras I currently own and telling you my thoughts about them.
I don't have any high end brands at the minute, though I've tried some before and they didn't really make the difference.

Here is the picture of the ones I own:

Elf Mineral Infused Mascara, Elf Lengthening and Defining Mascara, Gosh Serious Volume Mascara, Maybilline Pulse Perfection Mascara

There are a lot of different mascara brands out there and some of you may really like one and somebody else may absolutely hate it depending on what effect you want to achieve.

Whatever Mascara I used it always wasn't good enough for me so I still don't have a favourite and I'm still trying to find one. I naturally have very short and light eye lashes that aren't very thick either. I have tried conditioning them with different oil and it has never done anything different to my lashes.

 You can see how my lashes look without any mascara below.

 

Marine lady look

Hi guys! Just sharing this look with you today which I achieved with wonderful palette from MUA. I absolutely love this blue-green colour and the whole palette. I didn't get chance to take pictures of the products I've used because my battery on the camera died, but I may do a review on this palette and will do some swatches.

Here is what I ended up with:

Then again, I don't think I've used any expansive make up products for this look which goes to show that you can get pretty good results with drugstore brands.

So the products I've used:

Eyes:

Elf Eyeshadow Base

MUA Eye Shadow Palette - Dusk Till Down (blue-green colour on the lids)

Darkest blue eyeshadow from Elf Clutch

Gosh Black Eye Liner

Gosh Serious Volume Mascara

Face:

Almay blush in 100 Bouquet

Lips:

Rimmel lipstick in Soft Coral

I think MUA eye shadow palettes are fantastic quality for the price. I already want more. I recommend everyone to go and check them out in Superdrug.

Hope you like the look.

Soft feminine make up look in coral shades

This is the look of today.
I find this look soft and feminine. This could be a nice day look with a nude lip or a romantic evening look with darker lips, or however you may like it.

 This look, again is quite inexpensive achieved with mostly drugstore brands.
