Oh my GOSH!!! A very first for me :)

Hey Lovelies,

Tonight I want to review two products from the brand "GOSH". I never tried anything from GOSH until this past summer. The brand never really intrigued me, the products all look super fun but I was scared of the price tag... I never really heard much about GOSH and feared that I would maybe waste some money on not so good quality makeup.
Anyways, I came across a clearance selection at my local Shoppers and cave in, I bought my very first GOSH.


The first product I purchased was the duo eyeshadow in the color (Apple/lime).
This eyeshadow retails for $12.50, I got it on sale for $3... Pretty sweet eh??
Now I wont say I believe this product should sell for $12,50 but is worth wayyy more than the 3 dollars I paid


 When I got home with this eyeshadow, I immediately check online if it was a discontinued product because it was so cheap, but to my surprise, it wasn't
. (not that it would have bothered me, but it was priced so low compared to the original price tag)
This is a decent eyeshadow but I wouldn't pay the full asking price for it.
Here is a swatch of both colors: (super pretty green hues with lots of shimmers)


I am glad I got this eyeshadow duo and use it quite often. :)
The colors are super fun and easy to blend.
The pigmentation is so-so, you may need a little more then usual to get it to show up this nicely (refer to photo above).
I haven't use it with a primer and it does last most of the day. (I will have to try it out with en eye primer, the color might pop a little more).


I tried taking a photo of me wearing this eyeshadow but the colors wouldn't really show up in pictures. :( I will give it another try sometimes in day light.


 Bottom line, I would repurchase this ON SALE!!
The eyeshadow is alright but I wouldn't pay the full price... plus the packaging is super cute but cheaply made.

*****

Well now onto the next product... GOSH in stage cool lip jam.


The GOSH on stage Cool lip jam retails for $13 and that is what I paid for it.
I don't usually pay that much for a lip product... I often invest more money into, foundation, primers(....) anything that is related to the face and not the eyes or lips..
The shade of this Lip jam was calling out to me ... I thought it was the most gorgeous shade and needed to add this to my collection.


Now they call this a lip jam and I can't tell you why..
To me it feels the same as a regular (thick) lip gloss.
One thing I ADORE about this is the smell... this stuff smells super yummy!!
Here is a swatch for you:


Isn't it gorgeous???!!???
Such a beautiful shade but unfortunately it doesn't show on my red pigmented lips.. :(  Suchhh a shame..
I still wear this every other day because it gives a nice shine to my lips and smells super yummy.. (like a fruity lip balm)


Overall, This is a great lip jam and would re-purchase ... maybe in a darker shade this time. :)

Well that's it for this post,, onto the next one :)
Kisses and fireworks,

Great Products at great prices! 1 - 2$ DEALS !!!

Hey Everyone,

I thought I'd share with you 3 great products that comes with a tiny price tag.



#1 - L.A. COLORS 5 color metallic Eyeshadow
These "5 eyeshadow" pallets sells for roughly $2 each. I got mine at a HairSalon ( I think it was a salon .. hehe) in Rimouski,QC. They can be purchased on ebay for $1.92 +shipping.
These pallets are really great, I would willingly pay more then 2$ for them.
Such great selection of colors to choose from.
Quality shadows, very pigmented and long lasting.
BIG BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!



#2 - E.L.F - Lengthening & defining Mascara
This mascara sells for a 1$ on E.L.F's website +shipping of course. I got mine at Zellers in a "holiday eye edition" I receive this mascara, eyelash curler, trio eyeshadow pallet and a eye liner for $4 +tax.
This mascara is really great, I have been using it for the past 2 weeks now and have no complain whatsoever.
It's not waterproof but it doesn't run like most "waterproof" mascara I used before. It stays on all day, giving the illusion of fuller eyelashes and is easily removed (unlike others).
BIG BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!




#3 - Pearl white eyeliner (no name)
I have no clue what the brand of this pencil is but it ROCKS! I purchase this on ebay about 10 months ago for $1 (free shipping). After browsing ebay, I saw multiple for sale at $1.50 (free shipping) for 2 pieces.
Just search for "pearl white eyeliner" on ebay's search bar.
I use this eyeliner mainly as a face illuminator. It works great!!!
BIG BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!





I love products that works great at such low price.!! ( so does my wallet hehe )
Do you ever get your hands on quality makeup for super cheap?? If so please share :)

** None of these products were purchase on sale.

Handmade VEGAN minerals * a Moi Minerals review *

Moi Minerals is a Handmade cosmetic brand with mostly Vegan friendly options made with natural ingredients.
This brand is made in Canada, safe for any age and any skin type.


I have been using Moi minerals for a while now and let me tell you that the quality is HARD TO BEAT for a handmade product. The bronzer is my FAVORITE of all time.


The eye shadows are very pigmented and will last you a very long time.
Moi minerals has a wonderful selection of colors as well as foundations, lig gloss and much much more...

 
Above you will see two of their eyeshadows, the first one (left) is called Raven and the second one Planet green.
Here you see my *FAVORITE OF ALL TIME* Bronzer, This one is called Beach Goddess in medium.  (I don't think they sell the beach goddess anymore). :(

 Here's a swatch photo to show you what the colors really look like when applied to the skin. Starting from the left you see, Darkness, Raven and Planet Green.
This is what the bronzer looks like. LOVE IT!!!!!

I love "Moi minerals" for lots of reasons, to name a few: The QUALITY is great, the customer service is wonderful, great prices and VEGAN friendly!!!
One thing I must point out is that the eye shadows are VERY messy, besides that PERFECT!!!!

If you are interested, here is the link to their website as well as their etsy shop:
