Gosh Velvet Touch 151: Lady Luck

Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick 151 Lady Luck
Retail Price: 45.00AED
Sale Price: 33.25AED
Available at Beauty Bay/Centrepoint

Good morning/good evening guys wherever you are in the world. I am about to sleep but decided to write a post since I'm listening to some good songs. Well back to the product this is my 10th lipstick from Gosh. Gosh is a Danish brand of cosmetics and available across UAE via Beauty Bay and/or Centrepoint stores. With the exception of NYX this is the most affordable brand in the said shop. The cheapest European brand. As I have said only in the said shop. 

I don't have much photos to share tonight as I have given up I took a lot of shots for only 2 photos came out a little decent. Sorry for that. This Gosh Velvet Touch 151 Lady Luck is orange red kind of lipstick but becomes pinkish when applied on my lips with the hint of orange. And I don't mind wearing it at the office. It gives color to my lips but not so bright unlike the other red shades. I am not against wearing red lipstick in the office as long as it looks decent but I'm refraining to do so as to avoid teasing from my officemates haha!
Typical Gosh tube. Matte with glossy part in the middle where the name Gosh is embedded. Bottom is where the sticker indicates the shade name and number. And the color of the sticker corresponds to the color of the lipstick.
And the swatch. Gosh lipstick is the creamiest brand of lipstick I own so creamy that it breaks so easily so I am very careful when using it. And they have fairly wide selection of shades. And that's it!

Actually since Friday last week I have an ample of time after work meaning I could have taken a lot of photos and write posts but I don't know I end up sleeping a lot. Making up for those weeks that I was not able to sleep/rest properly. And catch up with some series that I missed. I'm currently watching On The Wings Of Love. It is a Filipino romance comedy series and I surprised myself as I was not really into teleserye before. I'm also watching kalyeserye of the longest running noon time show in the Philippines called Eat Bulaga! As of today they already have 57 episodes and I have seen less than 10 episodes. Meaning I have a lot of catching up to do. But then those nights of staying late and watching has taken its toll on me today as I woke up not feeling well. Got a little headache and if I did not rest it could lead to another migraine again and migraine is something I don't want to experience again ever in my life. As I will surely not be able to do anything even eating. Okay.. Got to go to sleep now.. Thanks for dropping by. Ciao

Gosh Velvet Touch 164: Adorable

Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick 164 Adorable
Retail Price: 45.00AED

This is not a lipstick blog but I'll be posting another lipstick today as lipstick is my current addiction since late 2014 and not too sure if this will go away soon. But then even so I buy only those I can afford and if I don't really have an extra budget I don't buy at all even though I'm dying to have a new shade/brand. Today's lipstick post is about Gosh Velvet Touch 164 Adorable and I had it since January 2015. I purchased it during the Dubai Shopping Festival or DSF. And I wonder if the in the coming DSF I will still be able to shop for items that I love. 

I know this post is supposed to be for the lipstick only as the title suggests but at the same time I can't help but share tidbits about my UAE life (hoping others planning to move here can at least have ideas about life here) I may not be able to purchase lipsticks again not because I don't want to but I'm dreading about the price of goods in the coming months as you know there has been a price oil increase that started last August. So this might be the last year/months that I'll be having lipstick posts. It's hard nowadays to stretch the budget even with basic needs like food. Oh well that's life. What to do yani. But back to my Adorable lipstick the shade is bright pink. 
Photo was taken during my lunch break so there was still sunlight from outside but it's not going through the room and I can't open the door as the terrace is one big mess. Not much space inside the room that we have to use it as a storage. And once again not much time to practice. Above photo I used the Automatic mode of my Sony Alpha 600 while the next photo was taken using the Aperture mode. 
Gosh for those who are not aware is a Danish brand of make up. In the UAE it is available at Beauty Bay and/or Centrepoint. I had some extra bucks back then and I wanted an affordable lipstick and that led me to Gosh. Gosh lipsticks are the creamiest lipsticks I own. They are moisturizing. Does not dry out my lips. But the down side of being this creamy is I have to take a very good care upon applying as compared to other brands I have this brand breaks so easily. I only have 11 shades. Bought them without swatching first so as a result only few are quite decent enough on me. 
Took a photo of it at every corner of the room hoping to capture its beauty and color perfectly and this is the best shot I got. It is a bright pink that I thought I can rock it. But I was wrong and the last two photos are the swatches to give you an idea. Still working on how to take my selfie photos wearing it. Taking a selfie should be effortless nowadays but it is one of the talents that I lack.  
Those who loves pink will surely love this. I can't say that this will look good more in women with fair complexion or not. I mean it I can't say that it will suit best a woman with a certain complexion as I had been seeing women Filipinas who have the same complexion with me rocking this color. [BTW, I heard that this brand is now available in the Philippines and in spite of it being a European brand this is one of the most affordable out there. Yes it is still available even if the amount is converted to Philippine Pesos]. But I don't feel good with it. What I do with other lipstick colors that I don't like is I blend them with others. As to not waste them. You know money is hard to come by.  
And that's it for today. Thank you for dropping by to my page. Feel free to leave a comment just please don't be rude. 

PS. Now the Aldub Fever has caught me. And I see this Yaya Dub most of the time rocking the red lips. I used to love red lips for a brief time some 2 years ago and because of her I find myself reaching for the red lipsticks I own. Just too bad that I can't wear them at the office. I'm working in Automotive company and it is a male dominated industry I'm getting conscious as some are teasing me. It is not hard for them to notice it as I don't usually wear make up in the office let alone a red lipstick. Been wearing nude lipsticks that they don't even know that I'm wearing any. One of these days I'll post about the red lipsticks I have. Have a great day everyone while I try to watch some KalyeSerye via FB!

Gosh Velvet Touch 161: Sweetheart

Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick 161 Sweetheart
Retail Price: 45.00AED
Sale Price: 33.25AED
Available at Beauty Bay/Centrepoint

Initially I wanted to write a rant post but then changed my mind a few minutes later as I believed somehow things will get better soon. And I am so happy to know that my superiors give nothing but good feedback about me. The law of karma. You reap what you sow. I work hard and I get recognition in spite of me not saying anything. And so instead of ranting I'll just share another Gosh lipstick that I own. Featuring Gosh Velvet Touch 161 Sweetheart.. Tada!!!!!! 
Gosh is a Danish brand of cosmetics. In UAE Market Beauty Bay or Centrepoint carries it. I believe in all their branches across UAE as I got mine at Ajman City Centre branch. Admittedly the first factor that lured me into buying this brand was the price range. This is the most affordable brand I found at the shop. And the black tube looks expensive. Purchased this at the time my lipstick hoarding started. Chose this shade as this is nude even without swatching it first at the store. As you can see the black round tube does not come with a box. There's a glossy part in the middle where the name Gosh is embedded. The bottom sticker represents the shade of the lipstick. And where the name is written.
Name Gosh is also embedded in the lipstick. And look at that gorgeous shade of nude brown. This is so far the Gosh nude lipstick that looks good on me. I went crazy and purchased all the nude lipsticks without trying them out first or even reading a review about them. Lesson learned anyway. 

Gosh is the creamiest lipstick I own. The good is it glides on smoothly on the lips and moisturizing. The bad is this creaminess make the product breaks easily when pressed a little harder on the lips. 
This is yay for me. Perfect for everyday use especially at the office. My favorite shade. If I will get a good incentive on this coming salary and Centrepoint is still on sale I might get myself another Gosh lipstick or get a cream blush from them if they have any. How about you? Do you love Gosh? Are you crazy about their lipsticks like I do?

Gosh Velvet Touch 155: Innocent

Gosh Velvet Touch 155 Innocent
Retail Price: 45.00AED
Sale Price: 33.75AED

Available at Beauty Bay/Centrepoint

Another day, another Gosh lipstick to wear. At first I thought it smells like Mac but then when I compared the 2 brands, Mac's scent is stronger than Gosh. But both  smells good. I used to have lipsticks that smell like medicine and/or chemicals which is something I don't enjoy and annoys me. I wonder if there is a brand out there that doesn't have a scent at all? Oh well what I am wearing today is Gosh Velvet Touch  155 Innocent.
Another pink color from Gosh line. This is pale pink leaning on peach. So pale that it looks like a tinted balm when applied than a lipstick. This lipstick is creamy which is good but the downside is you have to be careful when applying as it looks like it would break easily. So far this is my favorite shade of pink from Gosh. 
Now here's the swatch:

Gosh Velvet Touch 150: Kitten Pink

Gosh Velvet Touch 150 Kitten Pink
Regular Price: 45.00AED
Sale Price: 33.75AED

Available at Beauty Bay/Centrepoint

One of the Gosh lipsticks that I purchased when they went on sale recently in the UAE. Not so sure if the sale is still going on as I know this January is Dubai Shopping Festival.  This is Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick in 150 Kitten Pink. Gosh lipstick doesn't come in the box. The case is black matte and the shiny part in the middle is where the name Gosh is written.
Gosh lipstick smells delicious (at least for me) one of the reasons why I fell in love with Gosh upon first use. Aside from being affordable.
I purchased this at Beauty Bay in Centrepoint and I am not sure if there are other stores that carries this brand. This is creamy so it glides on the lips easily. But haven't notice if they are drying or not as I always apply lip balm first before applying lipstick. 
If you must know the lady who assisted me said that Gosh is cruelty free; meaning they do not do animal testing. I know some women who supports only products that do not test on animals so I hope this information helps. 
Lastly here's the swatch:

Gosh Lipstick


I think I am currently obsess with lip products. Lip gloss and lipsticks. But I don't go after those high end brands that would cost me a fortune. I do have a favorite brand of lip product but it has gotten so expensive in the UAE (and they never ever go on sale) that I decided to check out other brands. That's how I found GOSH. A Danish brand of make up that started in 1945 as pharmaceutical company. Then finally moved into cosmetics :)

GOSH make up is available in Beauty Bay of Centrepoint in UAE. This line is called Gosh Velvet Touch lipstick that would cost 45.00 AED as a regular price but since it was on sale I got it for 33.75AED each. And yeah I am a little crazy about it that I am waiting for them to go on sale again so I can complete my collection. I will try to post swatches some other time. Till then..

Ciao!!!
