As part of Gosh's Spring/Summer collection the brand will be releasing four new metallic eyeshadow palettes - two with a bright, bold colour scheme and two more neutral based for those with a daring taste. I was kindly gifted two to try out and have to say for £6.99 each they aren't half bad...
My main grumble in regards to the Gosh Eyelight Trio Palettes is the packaging - the lightweight plastic casing is really flimsy and fairly difficult to open. Each palette has a push release button which is a little stiff and tricky to open - I often worry that if I push the button too firmly I will damage the packaging. On the plus side each trio is well sized, slim and lightweight making them perfect for travel.
As mentioned I was sent two of the new Gosh Eyelight Trio Palettes to test out: 003 Chunky Chocolate, this contains a bright yet light peachy metallic bronze, a light lilac toned glitter based mauve and lastly a deep metallic chocolate brown. If blue eyeshadow is your calling then you may want to invest in Gosh Vanilla Sky - a bright, satin white, a lightly metallic blue based aqua and a deep metallic navy blue.
I won't pretend that the overall formulation of the Gosh Eyelight Trio Palettes isn't a little dry, crumbly and prone to fall out but other than that I don't have any complaints. The texture is surprisingly easy to blend, doesn't cling to any fine lines and is well pigmented. Teamed with a primer and/or base product you will easily gain at least 8 hours of true colour wear even on the oiliest of eyelids free from creasing. At £6.99 a palette they are well sized and really well coordinated in terms of shade making them perfect for beginners and seasoned make-up wearers alike.
The Gosh Eyelight Trio Palettes will cost £6.99 each when they launch later this month via Superdrug.

Both palettes look promising. I've yet to try anything from GOSH but I'll keep Chunky Chocolate in mind, the shades look really lovely.

These are so pretty! Blue shadows scare me so I'm definitely more swayed to the browny shades! x

I love trios like this, especially for travelling, when I don't like carrying too much around with me. The colours and pigmentation seem lovely but I'm so fussy with eyeshadow... I don't like the sound of it being dry and crumbly. Might disappoint me badly. x

Gosh has never impressed me packaging wise which is ashame as usually the product that lies inside of the awful packaging is good. The blue eye shadows look really nice but I'm all over the neutral ones. At £6.99 I think I can justify adding more neutral tones to my collection.

I really dislike products where the packaging is tricky to open. That would really put me off. The colours are very pretty though.
ReplyDeleteChunky Chocolate looks so gorgeous!

I have never tried GOSH. But these do look well-pigmented that I might pick one up!
