Denmark beauty brand GOSH Cosmetics just dropped 15 new makeup products into their permanent collection. Prices are comparable to Sephora Collection products at $10 to $30. Here's what's new from GOSH Cosmetics:
GOSH Cosmetics #FOUNDATIONDROPS in 004 Natural and 006 Tawny ($26 CAD) - On application it feels greasy. The GOSH Cosmetics #FOUNDATIONDROPS are infused with Argan Oil to hydrate and soften the skin, which is likely the culprit. The coverage is light to medium with the first layer and buildable to a medium without looking cakey (I still need some concealer for my dark circles). The finish is natural, with a slight dew akin to the Make Up For Ever Water Blend though the GOSH isn't as long lasting.
For my MAC NC30-ish complexion, 004 Natural is too light, 006 Tawny is a tad light for the summer (nothing a bronzer can't fix) and a mix of a couple drops each of 004 Natural and 006 Tawny is good for winter. The foundation isn't long wearing on my oily complexion. It looks a bit funky on my nose and my forehead gets really greasy looking after 4 hours of wear but fares well on the rest of my face. I'd suggest checking out this foundation if you've got drier skin.
Contour N Strobe Kit in Medium ($32 CAD) - Meant to be an all-in-one kit for contouring, this kit contains 1 highlight, 1 blush and 2 contour/bronzer shades. The texture of the powders is lovely - smooth, soft, easy to blend and very potent. Only a light tap onto the pan is necessary to get enough for one side of the face. The powders are fairly long lasting and fade evenly after 6 to 7 hours of wear. In terms of colour, I found the highlight too much of a yellowy gold, so it looked more editorial than wearable on my cheekbones. The blush is warm pink perfection. The deeper contour is a bit too red for my liking but decent as a bronzer, while the lighter contour has a neutral undertone that works well for my colouring (though if you're deeper than me medium then it might not show up).
GOSH Cosmetics Rebel Eyes Long Wear Volume Mascara
GOSH Cosmetics Rebel Eyes Long Wear Volume Mascara in Black ($17 CAD) - It does an okay job at volumizing but nothing really in the -hold a curl- department, which renders the mascara useless for my needs. On the bright side, it doesn't smudge and isn't particularly hard to remove.
GOSH Lash Sculpting Fibre Mascara in Black
GOSH Lash Sculpting Fibre Mascara in Black ($17 CAD) - Similar to the Rebel Eyes Long Wear Volume Mascara but adds slightly more volume. Same issue though, doesn't hold a curl.
GOSH Cosmetics Velvet Touch Matt Lipstick in Matt Cranberry ($14 CAD) - About a year ago, I had a love affair with the Classic Red and Cranberry shades of the GOSH Velvet Touch Matt Lipsticks. In a nutshell, they're amazing - comfortable, matte, long-wearing, bold. The shade Matt Cranberry isn't overly vampy as it has a bit of a mauve tone to it. LOVE.
Velvet Touch Lip Liner in Nougat ($10 CAD) - Smooth to apply but the nude colour looks like nothing on my lips. I'm not one for lip liners, especially in this nude shade.
GOSH Cosmetics Lumi Drops in Peach - top is unblended, bottom is blended
GOSH Cosmetics Lumi Drops in Peach ($17 CAD) - Looks stunning when swatched but the Lumi Drops in Peach don't really show up on my face unless I'm looking really hard. That being said, there's not a lot of shimmer so if you're looking for a product to add a radiant glow to your foundation this might be it.
9 Shades to Be Cool in Copenhagen ($20 CAD) - A gorgeous palette of 9 mattes. A majority are cool-toned if that's what you dig. The shadows are soft, pigmented and easy to blend. There is a bit of fallout so apply sparingly.
GOSH Cosmetics Giant Pro Liner in Blacker than Black ($16 CAD) - Looks exactly the same as KISS NY Pro Dead Sexy Liner. The Giant Pro Liner is fairly black but the jumbo felt tip makes precision a bit more difficult than the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper, though it does make application fairly quick. It's long-wearing, lasting an entire day without bleeding or smudging.
Forever Matt Eye Shadow Stick in Dark Brown and Nougat ($14 CAD)
Congratulations if you've gotten to the bottom of this post. There's a ridiculous number of products to look forward to from GOSH. My top picks are the Matt Lipstick, the Brow Sculpting Fibre Gel and the Forever Matt Eye Shadow Sticks.
