GOSH - Smokey Eyes Palettes! (;

Salut Lovelies!

Hope you are all good :) I know I haven't blogged much lately at all, but I am going to let you all know why in a very personal post soon. Today I have a review of the GOSH Smokey Eye Palettes in 01 Black and 02 Brown.

The Low Down:

'These palettes of bold and beautiful eye makeup come complete with four flattering shadow shades that blend to suit any eye shape and skin tone. Formulated with a high intensity colour pigmentation that will stay vibrant all day long, each palette comes with a numbered guide to show you exactly where to apply each colour. Slim and neat enough for popping into any handbag.'

The ingredients:

Mica, Talc, CI77499/Iron Oxides, Dimethicone, CI77891/Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Stearate, CI77491/Iron Oxides, CI77492/Iron Oxides, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.

CI77000/Aluminium Powder - Present in 01 Black only.

The Packaging:

These wonderful shadows come in cute little black palettes (8g 0.3oz) I love how they look - simple, yet funky and will add extra oomph to your makeup bag! The hard plastic palettes are easy to open, which is fab for me because I have long nails that I dont wish to break. The packaging is clear and legible - perfect :)

The product:

Both of these palettes are fabulously pigmented and easy buildable - fantastic for day or night. Palette 01 is especially amazing for a natural everyday look and palette 02 is ideal for creating a smokey eye look that is a celebrity must wear at the moment. The shadows are super easy to apply and will have you looking A-list ready in next to no time!

Conclusion:

I actually really like these products from GOSH and they are fast becoming a staple in my cosmetics bag (especially palette 02!) It's crazy to think I hadn't tried any GOSH products until this year, where have I been?! The shadows are long lasting, versatile and reasonably priced - what's not to love?! I would give these a very well deserved 9/10!

If you would like to try a GOSH Palette for yourself, simply head on down to Superdrug and a bag yourself one of these beauties for only £7.99.

Also comes in 03 Plum (which I'm pretty sure I will be purchasing!)

What do you think of this product?

Have you tried anything by GOSH?

Tuesday Tips #1

I've just realised this post is a day late, I AM CRACKING UP.

As you may or may not remember, ages ago i started a weekly feature called 'Tuesday Tips'. I'm not quite sure why I stopped, I think I'm just bad at sticking at things, but anyways I'm bringing it back.

Every tuesday I will post a tip, that hopefully you will find helpful in one way or another. The tips will mostly be beauty-related, but I might just throw in a few random ones for good measure. We'll see.

Today's tip is quite a simple makeup one ...

Don't apply blusher all the way to the hairline, stop at the curve of your cheekbone for a natural glow.

*How not to wear your blusher.

Do you have any amazing tips you would like to share? :)

Dark Angels! ♥

Hello Lovelies!

A while ago I got invited to take part in Schwarzkopf Professional's Essential Looks Salon Style Competition. I'm not great at styling hair, but decided to give it a go. I like a challenge ;) The competition is open to all UK hair professionals and bloggers aged 18 or over, so why not enter?! All entries will be judged by peers, consumers and a panel of judges. The four looks with the most votes will win the relevant trend category Schwarzkopf Professional products worth £200 and one winner chosen by a panel of judges will win a trip to Barcelona!

'Applicants are invited to channel one of four trends within the Essential Looks Flux Collection and can choose from:

Cool Hunters – The ultimate 21st century tribe, their nomadic spirit means they hunt out authenticity and crave personalisation. They love ethnic references and handcrafted and beaded looks, offset with sleek precision bobs, high attitude feather cuts and bold statement colour.

Sports Junkies– Sportswear was the biggest trend to emerge from New York this season with clean lines, neon colours and hi tech fabrics representing an emerging breed of hip adrenalin. They love graphic, powerful, polished and minimalist looks with the ability to shape shift.

Dark Angels– Sultry, sensual, hypnotic, exotic, this trend appeals to women whose innate confidence and powerful good looks combine to give them a magnetic appeal. They are ultra feminine and powerfully seductive, they love luxurious, perfectly glossy hair with peek-a-boo fringes and rich ultra natural colour.

Hip Opulants – This pleasure-seeking crowd love glamour with high-octane show stopping looks that mix wild prints with eye-popping colour and a dash of sparkle. Edgy, sharp, clean, cuts stop screen siren blonde and decadent golden reds stop this mood looking too obvious.'

I decided to channel Dark Angels with a little help from the following products ...

 Schwarzkopf Osis + Soft and Straight

Schwarzkopf Osis + Sparkler

Schwarzkopf Osis +  Flatliner

Silhouette Color Brilliance Hairspray

And here is the end result!

What do you think?

Are you going to enter & if so, which trend will you channel?

Let me know!
