GOSH SS2015; Nail Lacquer, Eyelight Trio and Xtreme Liquid gel Eyeliner.

In February I attended the GOSH SS2015 Press Day, to see what new products were instore for the season ahead. I will be focusing on three product ranges that are available as part of the SS2015 launch, the Nail Lacquers, Eyelight Trios and Xtreme Liquid Gel Eyeliner.

GOSH SS2015 Nail Lacquers

The nail polishes aren't new in themselves, but 7 new shades have been launched in line with the brighter and pastel shades predicted for Spring Summer. These are in a fast-drying formula and high-shine finish and a big brush with rounded tip, which I love. I have 5 out of the 7 shades (in order as they appear above); Snow White is what it says on the tin, a white nail polish I'll probably never wear, clashes with my skintone. Seafoam is a gorgeous pale blue that I wouldn't have picked personally, but quite like. Apple Bloom is a pastel green, French Dream a pastel lilac pink. And finally Sunkissed, a gorgeous coral, right up my street. These retail for £3.99 each, instore and online at Superdrug.

GOSH SS2015 Eyelight Trios

Next up is the Eyelight Trios, these are round eyeshadow compacts with 3 shades in differing textures, an irridescent highlighter, a glitter and a satin finish. I absolutely love these, gorgeous pigmented shadows at an affordable £6.99, they are also perfume and paraben free. There are 4 shades in total, I have the 3 above, 004 Vanilla Sky, 003 Chunky Chocolate (my fave) and 002 Fairytale.

GOSH SS2015 Xtreme Liquid Gel Liners

Last but by no means least is the Xtreme Liquid Gel liners; these are new and come in 9 colourful shades in a long lasting, waterproof, smudge proof, fast drying formula, that's perfume and paraben free. The tip of the applicator is very thin for easy application along the lash line, but you can build up for a thicker line if you prefer, but these are not suitable for use on the waterline. The shades include (in order as they appear above) 003 Gunmetal, 005 Bronze, 001 Black (pure black), 002 Black Night (contains glitter), 008 Royal Blue, 004 Silver, 009 Turquoise, 006 Plum, 007 Lavender.  If you're looking for affordable colourful liquid liners, you can't go far wrong with these at £5.99 each.

Tom Ford A/W14 Limited Edition Collection

The high end luxury brand Tom Ford, require no introduction, and I'm sure you've seen the latest limited edition A/W launch from the brand. My Tom Ford collection is growing slowly, see unabashed review here, but I'm constantly intrigued by the brand despite the high end price tag.

Tom Ford Cheek Color Duo and Black Cherry Nail Polish

I picked up 2 pieces of the collection from the House of Fraser website, the contouring cheek color duo in softcore and a nail polish in black cherry.


Tom Ford Softcore Contouring Cheek Color Duo

Softcore cheek color duo contains 2 shades; a more matte shade to add definition to the face, although this shade I would say is not completely matte and has a slight sheen to it, especially as it catches the light. And a second pearlescent shade to highlight, these shades are extrememly pigmented and the highlight shade can appear a little frosty if applied too much, so I use a fan brush to apply. This isn't strictly a typical contour shade, I apply it slightly lower down on the cheeks and not directly in the hollows and blend upwards so it gives shape and colour to the face.

Tom Ford Black Cherry Nail Polish

The black cherry nail polish shade is my ultimate nail polish colour, I love deep dark plum shades. It's especially fitting for the autumn/winter season, although I can be seen in variations of this shade all year round. This is my first Tom Ford nail polish, and it's extremely pigmented, applied right you could get away with one coat, but I prefer 2 lighter coats.

These are selling out fast, and may prove difficult to find now, as they are limited edition. They may however still be available at your local counters, and as of writing this, both items were still available on harveynichols.com, the cheek colour duo costs £56 and the nail polish is £26.  

Have you or will you purchase anything from this collection? What are your thoughts?
