Gosh Cosmetics: Spring/Summer 2014

Gosh Cosmetics is a brand I have loved since it first launched a few years ago. This brand is solely available in Superdrug stores. They also sell their range on their own website too. I thought it would only be right to review a few of their stunning pieces from their very recently launched Spring/Summer range. Gosh Cosmetics have explored every trend with their new collection!

The Gosh Prime ’n’ Set (£9.99) is a translucent setting powder which can also be used as a primer. I recently reviewed the Gosh Velvet Touch Primer and I can confirm this new product is just as good. I have never come across a powder like this before but I am so impressed. When applied before your foundation the powder removes the appearance of fine lines, it also made my face appear less red too. I applied both a liquid foundation and mineral powder on top to test it out and both worked equally well. By using the Gosh Prime’n’Set, the foundation had a smooth surface to settle on. You can then re use the same powder to setting the foundation, and because the powder is so finely milled it doesnt appear cakey at all. This product is also ideal for travel as its 2 in 1, I highly recommend it.

Next up is the new Frosted Sand Look nail polishes. These retail at only £3.99. I absolutely adore these colours, they definitely are perfect for this season. They are sparkly but not in-your-face-tacky-kind-of-sparkly - if that makes sense? These nail polishes dry matt and leave a gorgeous glimmer to your nails. Frosted Soft Coral on the left is the perfect peach coral shade, it also features tiny glitter particles which catch the light subtly. On the right is Frosted Rose which is very much like Rose Gold, this nail polish also feature tiny glitter particles. I think this nail polish would be perfect all year round, especially in the festive season later on in the year!

The lip lacquers are a mixture between a lip stick and lip gloss. This is ideal as it’s not as drying as a lipstick but not as sticky as a gloss. There are so many lovely shades, I want them all! The lip lacquers come in a nail polish style bottle with a doe foot applicator. The staying power on these is incredible and that is due to the high pigmentation. Lovely Lips on the left is a peach/brown nude and Funky Lips on the right is a wearable red; I’d really recommend this one also for people who stick to safer nudes etc. This shade of red is a little muted and even though it is definitely a red. These retail at £5.99.

Last but not least are the Forever Eyeshadow Sticks. I have so many Gosh regular eyeliners and I can vouch for them being waterproof. To remove them you need an eye makeup remover because that is how pigmented they are. I was so excited to try these and I am pleased to report that they are indeed waterproof and do not budge. These eyeshadow sticks can be used as an eye liner below the eyes too which is a top trend this year. Forever Grey on the left is a grey charcoal shade with tiny glitter particles in it and Forever Light Copper on the right is a staple gold shade. These shadow sticks don’t need sharpening as they wind up and they also don’t crease on the lids. Another positive is that you don’t need a brush to apply them because they are easily blendable in the first few seconds of applying. I am tempted to purchase the green one now as that would look great if you need a pop of colour!

Superdrug have a 'buy one get 2nd 1/2 price’ offer running just now, and if you order over £10 you are entitled to free delivery. Students can also receive a great 10% off.

I am so excited to utilise these products throughout Spring and Summer, let me know your favourites!
