Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick in Exotic

Hi everyone! So today's post is about a lipstick that you might recognise, because it was featured in my May favourites post (HERE). I bought it a little while back but it has become a firm favourite for Spring, I'm seriously loving orange this year!

This is my first Gosh lipstick, in fact it's my first Gosh product! After reading some rave reviews from a number of beauty bloggers I was always tempted by their lipsticks, but I never plumped for one until I saw Exotic. I think it's pretty obvious even in the tube that this lipstick is something pretty special..

As I said, despite being a porcelain princess(!) I am really into orange lips at the moment. They just brighten up my whole face and teamed with a more coral toned blush can work really well in sunnier weather. Even without a tan, this makes my face look summer-ready.

It's the perfect orange! The consistency is brilliant, it lasts on the lips for a good 3-4 hours without a touch up (reapply more frequently if you're eating, obviously) and it's not drying. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's moisturising, but it definitely works fine on my dry lips provided I pop on a slick of lip balm 10 minutes before applying lipstick.

The price (£6.49) is a little more than I usually like to pay for drugstore lipsticks, but given the gorgeous colour and the impressive quality I do not regret my purchase! I really recommend this shade if you're looking for something bright to last throughout the summer. You can buy Gosh Velvet Touch lipsticks from Superdrug online HERE on in your local store.

What do you think to Gosh products? Which is your favourite? Are you a fan of orange lips too?

May Favourites

Hi guys! Welcome to my second ever monthly favourites post - if you didn't catch my April favourites you can read it HERE.

First up are Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Papaya - a beautiful orange shade that's all over the blogsophere, and the Maybelline Color Show Polka Dots in black and white. I only bought the Maybelline top coat a couple of weeks ago but I love it already, it creates such a special and unique look!

My fashion favourite for the month is this monochrome 3/4 sleeve blazer, which I bought from New Look a couple of months ago and posted about HERE. It's a really easy jacket to throw on and keep off a chill on those colder Spring days (of which we've had a few!)

My go-to lipstick throughout may has been this Gosh Velvet Touch one in Exotic. It was part of my combined haul which I posted about HERE, and I will be posting a full review soon. It's a perfect orange Spring shade and so easy to wear without drying out the lips!

My Primark watercolour sunglasses have only been needed in the past week or so but qualify for my May favourites simply because I love them. They are so pretty and perfect for sunny days and picnicking in the park! I posted about them in a haul HERE.

Jewellery-wise I have been wearing this little whale pendant a lot - it's a subtle but quirky way to add personality to any outfit, including work wear! If you didn't read my post about it, this was part of my first haul from Cheap Frills (HERE).

Finally, a skincare favourite. I had never used micellar water until I picked up this one from the B. range at Superdrug (post HERE). It's really changed the way I remove my make up on an evening, and I can already see the difference in my skin! I know there are plenty of other drugstore brands offering micellar water, but B. is the only one I am aware of that is guaranteed cruelty free.

What do you think of my May favourites? Which is your 'favourite' of my picks?
