ChickAdvisor GOSHGoddess Campaign Review


Hey guys!  Today's review is brought to you by the Chick Advisor Product Review Club.  I was chosen as one of six lucky Canadian ladies who received a #GOSHGoddess review kit with four Gosh products.  They came in a cute makeup bag to store them in as well.  Product descriptions in italics are from the the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club campaign page.

ChickAdvisor GOSHGoddess Campaign Review Beauty Products GOSH Lip Lacquer in #006 Funky Lips Prime 'n Set Powder Crazy Volume Mascara Forever Eye Shadow Stick
Gosh Lip Lacquer in #006 Funky Lips
GOSH Lip Lacquer is like a 2 in 1 product: an intense rich color of a lipstick plus the shine of a gloss. Enriched with Argan oil and Vitamin E to keep lips soft and nourished!

GOSH Lip Lacquer in #006 Funky Lips has me a bit conflicted.  It is indeed highly pigmented and shiny, but I wasn't overly pleased with the application.  I found that it didn't go on evenly.  I even took it off and exfoliated my lips and upon the second application it was a little better, but still not quite even.  I didn't have issues with the doe foot applicator, so it's likely the product itself.  It also isn't overly sticky which is great, but it does transfer.  It left a bit of a stain behind and my lips still feel moisturized hours later, but after a few sips of my drink I'd need to reapply.

GOSH Prime 'n Set Powder
 GOSH Prime 'n Set Powder is another 2 in 1. Use as a primer to minimize pores, fine lines, redness and imperfections and to create a flawless matte look. Then use it as a setting powder over foundation or mineral powder to lock make-up in place and keep unwanted shine under control.

I actually really enjoyed using the Prime 'n Set powder.  Instead of using it under a mineral powder foundation I used it under and over my BB cream.  It went on my face easily and practically invisible.  I found my BB cream went on smoother and I used a little less than normal.  After that I used it to set the BB cream and even though the one I use sets fast, Prime 'n Set made it stay even longer than it usually does.

GOSH Crazy Volume Mascara
GOSH Crazy Volume Mascara features a unique oversize fibre brush which adds dramatic volume and extreme length in one easy stroke.  With no clumping or flaking, Crazy Volume Mascara ensures a smudge-free, highly defined look that lasts for hours and is perfume and paraben-free.

Sorry GOSH, not a fan of this mascara.  I found the wand holds way too much of the formula on it and even after wiping it off on a piece of toilet paper it still had too much. It did lengthen my lashes, but didn't provide a lot of volume. I also had issues with my lashes sticking together too much so I had to separate them.

GOSH Forever Eye Shadow Stick in 06 Plum
 GOSH Forever Eye Shadow Stick is a creamy, soft product which is easy to apply and blend.  The beautiful color delivers maximum, pure metallic color that lasts for hours.  Forever Eye Shadow is perfume and paraben free.

The eye shadow stick is my favourite of the four products.  I absolutely love how it just glided on. It didn't drag or feel overly greasy or heavy. The colour payoff is excellent and can be applied heavier or blended depending on your preference. I really liked the glitter, but did have some glitter transfer to my lashes. I am a big fan of shimmery shadows, and think I could have a lot of fun with this. The colour itself did stay put and set nicely.  It also worked well as a liner, and despite being a thicker crayon I managed relatively thin lines. I'd love to see this crayon in non sparkly shades to use as liners as well.

Swatch of GOSH Forever Eyeshadow Stick in 06 Plum and Lip Lacquer in #006 Funky Lips
Here is a quick swatch of the Forever Eye Shadow Stick and Lip Lacquer.  You can see how sparkly the shadow is and that the lip lacquer is more pink than shown in my bottle photos above.

So overall I like two out of the four products.  I'd love to check out the variety of the eye crayons and I would probably repurchase the Prime 'n Set, but a little goes a long way so I won't need to for some time.  Have you tried any GOSH Cosmetic products before?
