Review: GOSH Effect Powder, 08 Aquatic

Colour/Formula:
Aquatic is a gorgeous blue-green-teal pigment, yes I want to say it looks like the sea, that’s probably why they called this one Aquatic. Even when used dry is has amazing colour pay-off, but because it’s a pigment and it can get messy and cause a lot of fall-out when used dry I recommend using this product wet. I'm not sure if this colour is still available because it's not one the GOSH site anymore.

Swatch GOSH Effect Powder, dry/wet

Packaging:
The products comes in a glass jar with a screw top black cap. It looks very sophisticated. When you screw the cap off, you’ll find a lid you have to open to get to a sifter so you can totally take this one with you when you go travelling because it won’t spill. If you don’t like sifters you can quite easily take this one out.


Price/Quality:
This jar costs €7,49 but this brand is often on sale. The jars aren’t that big so it doesn’t feel like a waste of money when you know you won’t use it all. Also because it’s a pigment you can use it for other things than just your eyes.


Overall:
+ Al lot of colours available (neutrals and bright colours)
+ Good colour pay-off
+ Often on Sale
+ You don’t need a lot
+ Multi-purpose product
+ Good pigmentation
- Can be messy when used dry
- All lot of fall-out when used dry

Doesn’t this colour just scream summer? Are you looking forward to summer and wearing bright colours again, or do you just wear bright colours anyway?

EOTD: Navy Blue Smokey Eye

So like you've probably already read in the last post, Liza and I came together today and did each others make-up. On Liza I did a navy blue smokey eye because she wanted to try-out her new eyeshadow. She will do a review on the eyeshadow soon.

Products used: Etos Eyeshadow base, Lancôme Crayon Khôl Noir 1, Catrice Absolute Eye Colour 180 Ocean's 14, Essence Quattro Eyeshadow 01 Ciao Bella (darkest brown), Bourjois Trio D'ombres Les Bruns Cuivres 41, Essence Black Liquid eyeliner, Estée Lauder Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara.

I think this really goes well with her green eyes. It's not too heavy and you can add extra drama to the look by adding false lashes. Hope you like this look.
