Oh My GOSH | Lipstick

Until recently, my lipstick collection only consisted of extremely bright pinks and reds. I love a good, bright lipstick to make you feel sassy! Whilst I will probably forever stand by my bright lipsticks, I had an upcoming interview and realized it probably wouldn't look very professional to wear them. Queue these two beauties. I decided on GOSH because after spending hours swatching different products, they felt the most silkiest and had the biggest range of nudes to pick from. Plus they were on offer!

I'm one for cute names, so I'm a bit gutted that the GOSH colours do not run like that. These are simply 'Cappuccino' and 'Nude'. Bit boring really, but I guess that is exactly what the colour is. The packaging is a really cute matte tube, with the brand name indented into shiny plastic. It makes them look really professional and quite expensive. It's really worth swatching too, because the colours on the bottom do not match the colour in the tube.

The 'Cappuccino' is more of a brownish-nude colour, whereas the 'nude' is a pinkish-nude. Both colours are fairly pigmented, though I find I reapply it quite a few times throughout the day as it fades pretty quickly. It doesn't bother me though because they were inexpensive compared to others in my collection. They give a shimmery finish too, rather than a matte one, which suits me just perfectly since I need all the moisture I can get! I did notice the first few times I used them, they're so smooth, the product will stick to every last bit of dry skin on your lips. So during these winter months when your lips start to peel and dry up (gross), they're probably not going to be the best unless you're consistent in using lip scrubs before applying. 

I instantly fell in love with the Nude lipstick since it's a pink tone. It's great for an everyday look and I've started to reach for it most days. I was pretty stupid whilst shopping the colours, and whilst they looked pretty swatching them on my hand, I didn't think to match the colours to my make-up. I'm finding it hard to wear the Cappuccino shade, as it matches my foundation pretty perfectly, leaving me looking like I have smeared concealer on my lips (remember those days?). Lets just say it isn't very pretty. 


Do you own any GOSH lipstick? What do you think of the value for money?

    1. I hadn't even thought to try any before. It was only because they were on offer that I bothered to try some, but I'm so glad I did. They smell lush too, just like white chocolate! x
