GOSH Cosmetic Eye Makeup Trio

Hey Loves, am getting back into the swing of blogging and I wanted to share with you lovelies this uber cheap eye shadow trio I got a few weeks ago. 

During a random trip to Superdrug, I noticed a stand with a bunch of GOSH cosmetics products reduced to £3 or £4 and after a lot of sifting through, I picked up these four eye makeup products. The small pots contains loose eyeshadows which will be reviewed on a future post.  

The Trio palette comes with three colours perfect for creating a smokey eye or a simple day look. These colours don't have any special names so I've decided to give them names: the lightest colour will be called "milkyway", the golden colour will be called "snickers" while the dark brown will be called "galaxy chocolate" hehehe. 

The palette contains 2g of product which is definitely a great amount for the price and the three colours all has shimmery/glittery particles in them. These colours looks great when swatched on my finger tips as shown below but when swatched on the back of my hands, the colour fades into nothingness...not impressed at all.

When I did use it, I noticed that milky way and snickers seems to be a lot more pigmented than galaxy chocolate but they all require a good base/primer (I used NYX Jumbo pencil) to give'em something to adhere to which makes the colours pop a lot more. I only bought this palette because it was on sale and  won't be buying the other trio palettes in the range cos that'll be a waste of my money.

To me this is not worth buying, there are lots of other brands that produce better quality eye shadows  but if you can't afford to shell out the extra £££s for other brands such as Sleek or Inglot then you might wanna get this and try for yourself.

Do you own any GOSH palettes? What are your thoughts on the colour pay-off of their eyeshadows?

MAC "Hug Me" Lipstick

Hi lovelies, hope you're all having a good week so far?  The weekend is almost here and I will like to share with you my new favourite "weekend" lipstick - Hug Me. I've worn this everyday of the past two weekends and I cannot get enough of it.

Hug me is described as a flesh pink lipstick with a lustre finish which I totally agree with. It disappears on my lips when applied and blends seamlessly with my skin tone. The lustre finish helps keep the lips moisturised and enables it to glide over the lips easily.   

It contains 3g of product and retails for £14 as part of MACs regular collection.

This is pretty pigmented; It gives a good colour pay off with a creamy finish. As with all nude lipsticks, it doesn't last all day so needs reapplying after some time especially after eating and drinking. Having said that, I absolutely love this lipstick. It is the perfect nude for that everyday/no-makeup look and will definitely recommend everyone to have this in their makeup bag or at least go to the MAC counters and swatch it.

Here are a few pictures of me wearing "Hug Me"

You can pick this up from MAC counters or website.

Beauty on a Budget: Stars Makeup Haven Lip Gloss

Hello my lovelies!!! It's been more than a while since I've done any kinda blogging, hope you are all doing better than I am? The funny thing is that I come on blogger everyday to check up on my favourite blogs and troll the interweb but lack the motivation to talk to you beauties (bad bad bad). I promise to do better from now.

OK on to today's post...

I am not the biggest fan of lip glosses at all but when i saw these on my favourite site I thought "hmm let me try these and if I don't like them I can just give them to my little sister" lol.

They came packaged in these simple but cute purple box and contains 2.7g/0.095oz of product (please don't ask where the 3rd box is) 

They retail for £1.50(sale) each and come with a dome shaped applicator.

The shades I picked are 

The colour pay off of these glosses are pretty good although the brighter ones are a lot more pigmented. I always pair them with a lip pencil + lipstick combo so can't really comment on its staying power but as with every lip gloss, you always have to reapply after a few hours.

They have no weird smell and no sticky consistency. My favourite has to be "hot chocolate", when paired with "Hug me" it gives the perfect nude lip colour for my skin tone. I'll definitely recommend these as they are extremely affordable and worth every penny.

All Time Fav: Sleek MakeUp's "Sahara" Blush

I go through phases with everything I own, one minute they are hot and next I don't even remember they exist but this blush right here *in my best Tamar Braxton voice* is my all time absolute favourite. I can wear this blush with any look for any occasion.

Sahara is a mid-tone orangey-brown matte blush with flecks of shimmer (does that make sense). It gives a warm glow with a natural finish - like I have nothing on.

As you can see, mine has seen better days; I've had this for over a year now and I haven't even hit pan and that's because It comes with a whooping 8g of product and retails for £4.49 (definitely wasn't that much when I got mine...blame recession).

I think this is definitely a must have esp for women of colour..try it and let me know what you think.

It works miracles on both your natural hair and your extensions. It conditions, moisturizes and gives your hair a medium luster finish to keep it looking fresh all day. It doesn't weigh your hair down but will build up with time if used everyday.  

So try it and thank me later
