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

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!

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 162: Nude

I discovered Gosh late December of 2014. Prior Gosh I was crazy about Mac lipsticks. I am not a make up junkie but I developed a habit of being addicted to lip products especially lippies. And Mac simply became too expensive for me. I'll try to buy if the UAE price will be the same as US price but that is just so impossible. So with my quest for alternative to Mac my feet took me to Beauty Bay inside the Centrepoint where I met Gosh Cosmetics. I was drawn into it because the sleek tube looks expensive. Price wise it's one of the most affordable brands I came across at the shop. And in UAE. Price was the number one factor why I have chosen it out of all the other brands the sales associate offered me. Well Essence is a different story. And they seem to have a lot of nude and light colors so I went ahead and purchased some. Today I'll be sharing you my Gosh in 162 named Nude and here it is:

Gosh for those who are not aware is a cosmetics and fragrance company based in Denmark. Their products are Made in EU otherwise stated. But I'm not too sure if this lipstick is made in EU as it is not written anywhere on the tube. But I don't mind. It does not come in a box. The middle of the tube is glossy where the name Gosh is embossed. And at the bottom of the tube you'll see the name name/number of the lipstick. The color of the paper/sticker correspond to the shade of the lipstick. I bought this one sometime in January during Dubai Shopping Sale means it has been sitting inside my dresser untouched for such a long time. 

There's a very slight difference between the photo and the actual lipstick and believe me it has been my long time frustration in taking photos as I wanted my photos to be exactly the same color with the objects as much as possible and I'm trying to work on that. But anyway without swatching it and by just looking at the lipstick the color looks like pinkish brown and I think the name Nude just suits it perfectly.

Here's the swatch. 

And another swatch. Gosh Velvet Touch 162 Nude in color looks like pinkish brown but leaning more into brown but when swatch you'll see it more of a peach. Sadly photos did not really do justice. This is nay for me. But just because it does not work for me does not mean that Gosh is a bad lipstick. I love Gosh lipstick. But this shade does not suit me. And I purchased it at the time that all I know was I want nude lipsticks but do not know yet how to choose one based on my skin tone and/or lip pigmentation. That being said I have quite a few epic fail lipsticks in my drawer. But at least now I know better.

Gosh lipstick is creamy and glides on smoothly but you have to be careful as it breaks easily. It happened in one I owned just because I put on a little pressure while applying it on my lips. That's all for now. I'll be back again with another Gosh Lipstick post. Thanks for dropping by and feel free to visit my page again and/or leave a comment below.

Selling Point: Paraben and Cruelty Free

Right now I already have 11 lipsticks from Gosh but I haven't been able to use them all. I was able to buy that much when they went on sale last Dubai Shopping Festival in the UAE. Gosh is a make up brand from Denmark. And for this post I used phone only in taking photos. For today's post it is about the Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick in 146 called Cappuccino as shown in the photo:

Gosh lipstick is so creamy that they can break so easily as can be seen in the next photo. So one has to be very careful when using their lipsticks.

As can be seen in the swatch below Cappuccino is a nice brown nude color and very creamy just like the rest of their lipsticks.

But what I don't like about it is it doesn't suit me. I don't usually like posting my photo in the internet but to just give an idea how it would look like on someone with a 'morena' or brown skin like me:

I think it would look perfect on ladies with fair skin. That's all for now and thank you for dropping by.. Ciao!!!

Gosh Velvet Touch 172: Angel

Here I am again. Another Gosh lipstick: 

I think this is new release [2014] from Gosh according to the other blogs I have read about this brand. I know I only have one lips but I can't help myself from collecting these lip products. Let me be, since they are still on sale. As I am staying away from buying anything if they are on the regular prices. The sale will run in the UAE until February 02, 2015. And the next sale will be on June during the Dubai Summer Sale. And maybe by the time that the next sale comes I may not be interested in lip products or make up anymore. 

This brand is available in selected Centrepoint in UAE. I have seen in Deira City Centre that the Centrepoint there doesn't carry Beauty Bay hence no make up products over there. It will cost you 45AED when not on sale. And in UAE that is the standard price of drug store lipsticks. So far I haven't seen any lipstick with a price lower than that. I got all my Gosh lipsticks with 25% discount but still a part of me still wishes for up to 75% discount! Can you blame me when all the expenses just keeps on getting higher? Hmmm...

Enough on my rants. Back to the product. This Angel lipstick is actually a nude color. And so far most of the lipsticks I got from them are neutrals/nudes. Just too bad the photo did not really justify the color of the lippie. It is very pale in color, creamy and not drying on lips. So far most of the lipsticks I have from Gosh are usually pale (sorry, I am not so good in English that I can't seem to find the right word). I guess what I mean to say is the colors are not really bold. Perfect for everyday wear. But this shade is just not for me. 


Here's the swatch of the lippie as a photo will be able to explain it better than words.

There's no doubt that I love Gosh but then this is my least favorite as it is making me looks like a corpse. So from now on I will be staying away from Beige shade lip products. As they don't look good on me. When wearing this I had to put on another neutral color on shade of pink. So till next time and I still have a few Gosh lipsticks to wear and hopefully to finish before I go ahead again and hoard on the next sale if ever that I am still crazy on lip products by that time :)

Thanks for dropping by, ciao!!!

Another post about Gosh lipstick. This time it is about Gosh Velvet Touch in 122 Nougat. All the lipsticks I purchased from them are either in pink shade or brown shade.  They are all neutrals. Perfect for everyday use. 

Just like all the other Gosh lipsticks I tried this is also creamy.This is a nude brown color as seen in this photo:

Here's another lipstick from the Danish Brand Gosh. This is Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick 156 Romance. Their lipstick comes in a black tube in matte color. With a shiny part in the middle where the name Gosh embossed. This brand is available in UAE at Centrepoint in their Beauty Bay section. Here's the bottom of the tube where the name is: 

Gosh lipstick smells good. Sort of coconut but in a good way. Not all products that smells like coconut are pleasing right? It is very creamy and glides on easily but not drying. I tried this without a lip balm yesterday. The Gosh 155 Innocent is pale pink leaning on peach side while this Gosh 156 Romance is pale pink in pink! I'm sure you know what I mean :)

And finally here's the swatch:

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

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!!!
