Review: GOSH Velvet Touch Matte Lipstick

GOSH Velvet Matte lipsticks are available in 16 different shades at Superdrug and cost £7.99. I am testing out the shade 012 Raisin today.

First Impressions: I like the sleek and simple black packaging on these lipsticks. The tube and lid have an appropriately matte finish, contrasted effectively with a shiny middle band. The colour of the product is reflected on the label at the base. The lipstick has a strong, sweet cocoa scent and GOSH embossed onto the actual bullet. Although these lipsticks are matte, they apply smoothly to the lips and feel extremely comfortable. They are richly pigmented and give strong colour with just one application.

Cup of Tea Test:

Some colour did transfer to my mug, but the matte formula helped the colour cling well to the lips.

After Eating:

After eating, the lipstick had faded, but stayed in place. It did not smudge, crack or flake, and from a distance still gave a good effect.

Overall:
These lipsticks are much more appealing to me than many drying matte liquid lipsticks. They are easy to apply and wear, fading gracefully throughout the day and remaining comfortable on the lips. They can be re-applied over themselves easily and come in a wide shade range.

The nude shade Antique is a perfect, long-wearing lipstick for warm Spring and Summer days.

I find these soft to wear and attractive on the lips, giving a shine-free finish rather than a crumbly matte look. A high-quality drugstore lip product which has a colour range to suit every occasion.
