Today i will be reviewing a brand that i had no idea would become one of my favourite brand for lipsticks. I am a self confessed lipstick fanatic and no amount of lipsticks is ever enough for me. I love reds and neutral shades the most. I have plenty of lipsticks from all the brands you can possibly think of except the loubotin lipsticks just because i believe they are wayy too overpriced for the quality. The brand that i will be reviewing today is GOSH cosmetics. I have two shades from their Velvet Touch Matt lipstick collection- 003 Antique and 013 Cinammon. I just bought them at a shopping spree in bahrain.they cost me 4.8 BD which roughly amounts to £9.
First of all the packaging is super chic and feels like an expensive one as you can see from the photo below.
Second, the colours are beautiful nudes for my skintone NC 35. Antique is a pinky brown which is very close to Mac's velvet teddy but just leaning more towards the brown side. Cinammon is another beautiful pinky brown shade with a red undertone but darker than Antique. Both these shades look fabulous on fair to medium skin tones. I will show a swatch of both these shades alongside Velvet teddy below.
The formula is amazing for a matte lipstick. It isnt drying at all and isnt too shiny either. Its just the right amount of matte, enough to not dry out your lips. The pigmentation is amazing with just one swipe. There are some other really pretty nude colours but i didnt buy them since i already have similar ones. I would suggest medium to darker skin tones to try out Raisin and Chestnut. They are beautiful nude colours. I will swatch Velvet teddy against Antique to show you guys the difference, although its very subtle. I have a lot of nude lipsticks from Mac since i knew Mac way before i knew this brand. But comparing the quality and the price point i feel this brand really stands out. Overall i highly recommend you try out one of these lipsticks or any product from their makeup range and see for yourself if you love it. I can guarantee that you will love the lipsticks though. 😊
Thats all for the review. I hope you found this helpful.
