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.

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?

Review: GOSH Effect Powder, Butterfly

Colour/Formula:
Butterfly is a beautiful lilac-purple pigment. When used dry it has decent colour pay-off and looks a bit glittery but when used wet the colour pay-off is even better and it reveals a gorgeous metallic sheen. When you use this product dry it can get a bit messy so I recommend using this product wet.

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. These GOSH Effect Powders are a more affordable and easier to get by than than MAC pigments. Also because it’s a pigment you can use it for other things than just your eyes. I once mixed this in with my hairspray to create my very own glitter hairspray.


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

Do you like using pigments? Which brands do you like? Or are they too messy and too much work in your opinion?
