A girly gadget from GOSH!

Anyone who still has some seriously late Christmas gift shopping to do, I would suggest looking out for this really awesome girly gadget from GOSH Cosmetics. It's the very modern Light'n Shine Lip Glaze!

I honestly thought that this was going to be another boring lip gloss with one or two unique ingredients but still looks, feels and tastes the same... way too sparkly, sticky and bitter. I actually didn't pay much attention to it for about 2 weeks after I received it at the GOSH Cosmetic launch in SA. Once I did open it I got a very nice surprise that made me feel like a kid!

 Firstly, there is a very useful mirror on the side of the gloss so that you can apply the gloss without ending up with that "I'm drooling" look on your face *how charming*. Then when you unscrew the 'lid' you'll notice something that could tickled your fancy. Two neatly packed LED lights inside the top section of the gloss container. 

As soon as you tilt the applicator towards your lips, the LED's help you out by lighting up your lip area so you can see exactly what you are doing and where you're applying the gloss. Genius! I thought this would suit the party gals more because most dark clubs and restaurants are the bane of your lip-gloss-applicating-moments. This isn't the case as I found myself reaching for the Light'n Shine gloss more during the day, in low lit areas of the house or at the office.

As for the actual formula, I can't say I'm a fan. It has a very sticky goo-like formula which is hell on windy days and your hair is down. Plus side? It doesn't budge. I think this would be a great gloss to apply just before leaving the house on your way to a date or before leaving to work. When you arrive you will have pretty glossy lips that haven't been effected by the cup of wine or coffee you downed before heading out.

My final thoughts? I dub this a really cool girly gadget and it would be the perfect stocking filler for a close girl friend or someone special. You can find this Light'n Shine Lip Glaze at your nearest Edgars or Red Square stores at the GOSH stands in the cosmetic section for R140.

More GOSH Reviews

Here are a few more GOSH products and what I thought about them.

GOSH's Velvet Touch Foundation Primer, RSP R190.00

This is a must have product! It fills any fine lines and deep pores you may have, to give you a silky smooth surface to apply your foundation onto. Unfortunately it does have a very silicone-like feeling but it really does it's job. It has no preservatives and is perfume free which is great because this product gets right into your pores and you don't want any irritation to occur.

I can't really tell you to go buy this product because every lady has their own preferences and you might hate the feeling on your skin but I love it and it makes my foundation smooth out really nicely.

Tip: Because of the silicone texture, you can apply a tiny amount to any strands of hair that don't want to stay in place. I've tried, it works really well!

GOSH's Argan Moroccan Hair Oil, RSP R89.00

This hair oil is enriched with Omega 3 and 9 which moisturizes and soften's frizzy and unruly hair. I have applied this to my clean, damp hair and then blow dried it. I did notice a difference in the frizzy-ness and my hair was a lot shinier but I'm not convinced it is because of the 'oil benefits'.

Again, this product has a very silicone-like feeling and very little oiliness, meaning you would get the same results if you used a pure silicone based hair product. I am hoping to see the oil benefits as I time goes by and my hair becomes easier to style or styling time is minimized.

GOSH's DNA no.3 for Women, RSP R129.00

I am not much of a fragrance type of gal but I must say I have gotten in the habit of spritzing a bit of perfume on before leaving the house. One of my recent reaches that I find myself applying often, is GOSH's DNA no.3 for women.

It has a light 'creamy' scent which gives off a very sophisticated vibe. This powerful yet timeless fragrance contains mild citrus, white flowers, white cedar and cashmere. I definitely recommend testing this out at your nearest GOSH stand!

I will be reviewing more GOSH products soon so follow me on Twitter to be the first to know.

GOSH's Infamous Brow Kit

Of all the GOSH products that international bloggers rage about, their Brow Kit is definitely one of the most favoured and I found out why.

Gosh Cosmetics' Brow Kit

If you have been keeping an eye on runway trends as well as the average Jane walking in the street, you would have noticed that fuller eyebrows are way more popular than they were a few years ago. Just by changing the shape or colour of your eye brows, you can achieve a noticable change in you appearance.

The brow kit comes with 3 powder shades and a wax cream.

This brow kit comes with three different shades; light, medium and dark, to make sure they cater for all hair shades. You can wear each shade on its own or use them in conjunction with each other to create different depths to you brows. You also get a very handy wax cream in the kit. This is used for taming any wild strands and lock in the desired shape so that it will last all day long. You can also use this brow kit with Gosh's Defining eye brow gel.

Here is how I tested the Brow kit:

Before: "Shame, that girl needs some brows"

After: "Brows are sisters, not twins!"

I took these images the first time I ever used this brow kit, so since then, I have learnt a few things:

1) The dark shade is a bit harsh for a day look but perfect for a night look so rather opt for a lighter shade if you're a day walker like me.

2) If you have an angled brow brush, outline the shape you want with it first, then go back and fill in with the applicator provided, finishing off with the cream wax or a brow gel.

Overall, I find this brow kit stupidly easy to use and it really does make a difference. My eyes seem way bolder and I have received a few compliments that my makeup looks more "finished-off" *Thanks mom! Blush Blush*

You can pick up this great brow kit at your nearest Edgars and Red Square stores for R155.

GOSH's Volume Lip Shine Lip Gloss

Here is a quick review on GOSH's Volume Lip Shine Lip gloss.

GOSH's Volume Lip Shine Lip gloss RSP R120 each.

This 'volume' lip gloss contains MaxiLip which gives you a slightly plump effect without making you lips burn or give you that weird tingly/tickling feeling. It contains Jojoba oil and Shea butter to keep your lips moisturised. I'm also a big fan of the SPF 10 you get in each bottle. Even though it is quite low, it isn't very common to find SPF in lip glosses (well at least not in my lip gloss collection) and are mainly in lip balms and lip butters.

The colour in the pictures above is 01 Soft Coral which is a creamy peachy pink shade. It has enough pigment to be worn alone but is also light enough to be worn over your favourite lipstick, to give a pretty glossy finish.

Unfortunately I didn't really feel the slight "plump-ness" that the gloss claims to give your lips but I was highly impresses at how the gloss stays on your lips. I roughly estimated, you can wear this gloss for at least 2.5 hours (obviously still fading gradually).

I don't encourage public gafoolaling with your boyfriend but if you cannot contain it, then wear this lip gloss because you'll still look gorgeous every time you come up for air. This gloss just does not budge! *Smooch*

The other shades you may find at your nearest GOSH stand, are 02 Cherry Blossom, 03 Tea Rose, 04 Juicy Orange, 05 Red Stiletto, 06 Raspberry Galore, 07 Burgundy and 08 Nude. 

Thanks so much to GOSH cosmetics for letting me test this beauty out!
