Product Review: GOSH Cosmetics Natural Blush in 39 Electric Pink

GOSH Cosmetics is a Denmark-based cosmetics brand. Upon checking their website, there seems to only be 3 blush shades (someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) - Natural Brown, Electric Pink, and Rose Whisper. I am reviewing Electric Pink.


According to the website:

Let's see if I agree.


A closer look at the blush.

What I like:
- Pigmented. A little goes a long way.
- Applies smoothly and it is easy to blend.
- Texture is fine and it's not chalky.
- It looks a bit matte but it has some sort of a sheen. If I look closely at the blush, I'll see very, very fine shimmers.
- The packaging doesn't look cheap even though it's like a drugstore brand.
- Has a shelf life of 36 months! Which means I don't have to rush myself in using this. :P
- Said it's unscented. I sense a little scent but it's not bothersome.
- Gives some sort of a glow on the face. It looks boring upon application but after a few minutes, it gives you that glow.
- Did not break me out nor clogged my pores.
- Staying power is pretty decent given that I have oily skin.

What I don't like:
- Not locally available.
- It's not totally pink. It has a a bit of plum and plums don't work for me. Good thing the pink tone is stronger so I can still wear it.

Overall rating: 4/5

Will I buy again? Probably not. I have 3 years to finish this and I'm sure it'll take me more than that period to even finish up this compact. And I have other blushes to use as well. Plus it's not locally available.

Swatches:

Weekend's almost over. Work again. :P Have a blessed Sunday, folks. :)

  2. Gosh is really a common brand over here, that is why I overlook it oftenly. Thank you for your review...It looks quite promising so I intent to give Gosh blush another look.
