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 :)

 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.

Favourite drugstore pink lipsticks

 Hello Lovelies,

First of all, I'm a lipstick freak. I have an absolute loads of them from different brands. A lot of them are MAC, but I have some drugstore lovelies that I enjoy wearing just as much as MAC.

Lately I found myself gravitating more towards pink lipsticks and I found a few favourites from drugstore brands and decided to share with you guys.

I seem to enjoy warm, light to medium pinks and these are just gorgeous colours. I'm wearing these all year round.

 

NYX Fig
This was my first pink lipstick I've fallen in love with which lead to getting more.. )) This is a gorgeous watermelon pink shade that isn't to bright. I love the creamy texture of this lipstick, which reminds of MAC Amplified formula, the only difference is NYX doesn't last as long as MAC. The price is excellent for pigmentation and formula of the lipstick. I would recommend this one if you are looking for a nice warm pink lipstick with a creamy formula that would brighten up your warm complexion.

L'oreal Freshly Candy
This is the newest addition to my pink family. I couldn't stop staring at this lipstick in the store.. It is a such a gorgeous colour.. In the end I decided to buy it hoping it would be similar to NYX but would last longer. Again the formula is similar to NYX but I'm afraid it doesn't last as long as I expected. The shade is pretty similar, except Freshly Candy is a bit brighter and slightly cooler, but only very slightly I would say. To be honest, the quality is pretty similar to NYX but cost is about twice as much.. 

17 Beehive
This one is my favourite drugstore lipstick at the minute. It's they way it looks on the lips just so gorgeous. From the picture of the swatch and a lipstick you can see it's not very pigmented, but it doesn't look neither on the lips. On the lips it comes very close to Hue from MAC but still different. The end colour on your lips will depend on your lip pigmentation as this lipstick is very sheer so I can only speak from how it looks on me. On me this lipstick is slightly darker and pinkier version of Hue from MAC with a different glossier finish that reminds me of Lustre formula from MAC. Basically, on my lips this comes out as warm soft nude pink shade that is extremely wearable for every day. This would also look great with smoky eye and will note wash you out. I find 17 lipsticks aren't pigmented in general and this is the only one I like at the minute. I have some other shades but they were disappointing. I highly recommend this one. Definitely go and check this one one, you never know :) I wasn't sure about this one at first, but when I tried it on my lips.. I just fell in love :)

Thanks for reading,
