So last week, I got to spend an evening with some amazing bloggers, PR Girls and the fabulous Sidsel Marie Bøg, the Global MUA for GOSH eating dinner at the stunning Mondrian Restaurant whilst getting to have a sneak peek, play and introduction to the new GOSH AW16 Copenhagen Collection.
The main focus of the AW16 Collection is the Nordic/Danish raw beauty of nature, think views of the coastline, barren landscapes and the beauty of the sea. All of the ingredients used are natural and vegan friendly (except the lipsticks which contain bees wax) as well as nourishing and as you might expect from GOSH - amazing.
Within the collection you will find the following:
Overnight Primer Oil Essence
This is the product that I am most excited about and the one most people wanted to know more about on my snapchat. The Overnight Primer Oil Essence is a bit of an innovative product. Packed full of antioxidants, fatty acids and caring oils, which combine to care for your skin and influence the amount of moisture, vitamins, nutrients, the degree of ageing and environmental stresses. The formula works best overnight and it preps your skin while you’re sleeping so that you can wake up, de-stressed, well-moisturised with glowy and primed skin ready for your makeup. It comes packaged inside a bottle rather than a tube and has a handy pipette for application.
Lash Sculpting Fibre Mascara
Now I do love GOSH mascaras and this new lash sculpting fibre mascara not only adds volume and length but as it’s made with antioxidant rich Nordic seaweed, it also cares for your lashes. The formula contains fibres which are up to 2mm long, they attach to your natural lashes to create volume and add length to your lashes. The mascara round Tynex brush is optimally shaped to help create that volume and length whilst at the same time ensuring there is no clumping.
Brow Sculpting Fibre Gel
As with the Lash Sculpting Fibre Mascara, the Brow Sculpting Fibre Gel also contains fibres which help you achieve thicker looking brows. The brush is specially tapered so you can really use it to create a natural but more defined brow. It is available in two shades Nutmeg and Chestnut.
Giant Pro Liner
The new Giant Pro Liner is most definitely a giant and has a nib like a Sharpie!. The intense black colour and pointed nib make it incredibly easy to apply either a thin or stronger line with accuracy, it is water based so incredibly easy to remove and is easy to hold.
Foundation + Cover and Conceal
The GOSH Foundation Cover & Conceal is a foundation and concealer in one! It can be used on the whole of the face for full coverage or used in selected areas as needed. It has a really natural feel when on the skin and has a smooth satin finish. It is formulated with liquid sea minerals, seaweed and hyaluronic acid making it incredibly moisturising and nourishing on the skin. It also has SPF15 and is availabe in 5 shades - Ivory which is the lightest shade plus Natural, Honey, Golden and finally Tan which is the darkest shade.
Contour’n’Strobe
As we all know contouring and strobing is very much on trend right now and it is apparently here to stay. So with that in mind, GOSH have launched their contour’n’strobe kit which is a must-have if you want to master the basics.
The kit is split into quarters and features a highligher, a semi matte blush, and 2 matte bronzers and there are some instructions about how to use it on the back. The four shades are quite creamy and incredibly pigmented making them easy to apply and blend. The kit is available in two options - Light and medium and is designed to suit all skin types.
Velvet Touch Matte Lipsticks
No collection from GOSH is complete without lipsticks and there are four new shades this season. The shades are Matte Cinnamon, Matte Grape, Matte Purple and Matte Cranberry.
Using natural waxes and hyaluronic acid to moisturise, soothe and smooth your lips, they are incredibly creamy, long-lasting with an intense matte colour effect.
