A Sneak Peek: GOSH AW16 range

"At GOSH COPENHAGEN's AW16 Launch, the focal point - as for SS16 - is the Nordic/Danish raw beauty of nature.
The perspective shifts from a view inland to a view of the coast. 
A more barren landscape, but softened by the beauty of the sea and the coast's ever-changing expression.
A snapshot full of zen and beauty."

Now if that doesn't get you excited about the new AW range from GOSH.. nothing will, there's no hope for you! 😉 As soon as I read about this launch I simply had to share some of the information with you, it looks amazing. 

GOSH say that their key ingredient for the season is Bladderwrack Seaweed, I'm sure you've all seen it on the beach it's the lumpy one! Bladderwrack is supposed to have healing and regenerative properties, as well as containing more than 10 times as many minerals as any other plant (IMPRESSIVE). It's got lots of antioxidants, amino acids, minerals and more, which mean as an ingredient it's nourishing, moisturising and protecting... sounds perfect for the colder months!

Now onto the products themselves! The AW16 range from GOSH will include:

1. GOSH CONTOUR'N STROBE KIT £12.99 - So we've all heard of contouring and highlighting, and most of us have probably heard of strobing, even if we (myself included) have no idea what the hell we're supposed to be doing. This kit comes with two bronzers, one semi-matt blusher and one highlighter.. it's literally everything you need in one handy beautiful package. Blending is key to getting this part of makeup right so they're all ultra-light and creamy to make blending a breeze. It comes in both light & medium shades, and they're both heavily pigmented so less is more. Another great part of this product is that it contains no perfumes or parabens so it shouldn't irritate that beautiful skin of yours! Want to know more about how to apply this product?

2. FOUNDATION PLUS+ (Cover + Conceal) £9.99 - The colder months can take their toll on our skin, with harsh weather outside and then heating causing havoc inside, it's a tough time for your derma! This new Foundation Plus+ is both a foundation and a concealer. IN ONE! So you get great coverage, that still looks and feels light and natural, perfect! It contains hyaluronic acid, liquid sea minerals and the all important seaweed so that your foundation actually nourishes your skin, as well as giving you a smooth, satin finish. Again this is perfume and parabens free, and BONUS POINT.. it has SPF 15 because even winter sun is damaging! 
3. GIANT PRO LINER  £6.99 - As usual, I'm always excited about new eyeliner launches... it's the key part to my makeup and I don't look or feel like myself without it. It's an intense black with a pointed nib so you can go as thin or as thick as you like. Fancy a wing? No problem! It's designed to be long-lasting so you won't have to worry about reapplying all day, while it's also water based so you won't have to scrub it off before bed! It's a lot thicker than my normal eyeliner pens but I love the look of it and I'm hoping to get my hands on one soon! 
4. LASH SCULPTING FIBRE MASCARA & BROW SCULPTING FIBRE GEL £9.99 & £6.49 - If I'm completely honest I hate all fibre products. I first tried them with a Sheer Cover fibre mascara and it put me off them for life. But for those of you who can tolerate them I know they create an amazing look! The mascara has fibres up to 2mm long which attach to your natural lashes and then individually direct them for a truly unique result. They also bring length and volume so it should do everything you want from a mascara. While the brow sculpting gel will bring volume to your brows with fibres that will cling to individual hairs for instantly thicker brows. This is available in two shades; nutmeg and chestnut, so if you have either very light or very dark eyebrows this probably isn't the product for you unfortunately. 
5. OVERNIGHT PRIMER OIL ESSENCE  £14.49 - This is something of a revolution for me... it's a skincare product that you apply at night that then helps your makeup stay on during the next day. AMAZING! It also claims to strengthen your skin after just 7 days of usage and provide a longer term anti-ageing effect. This primer oil is packed full of antioxidants, fatty acids & caring oils, so your skin will get all the care it needs while also protecting it against the outside elements! The oil also contains lavender so it might even help you get to sleep, which will mean not only will you look better, but you'll probably feel happier too! 
6. VELVET TOUCH LIPSTICK MATT £6.99 - It's not a launch without a lipstick, am I right? Luckily GOSH have brought four new matt shades to the table. They have added natural waxes and hyaluronic acid to moisturise, smooth and soothe your lips which is fantastic, because my lips always have a major rebellion as soon as it gets cold and they then remain chapped no matter what I do! Despite being a matt finish the lipsticks are smooth and creamy, so they'll apply easily and be comfortable to wear throughout the day. This lipstick comes in four new shades: Cinnamon, Cranberry, Grape and Purple.. in addition to the current matt shades and are perfect for the AW season. 

So there you have it... the new AW16 range from GOSH! I think there are some amazing products involved and personally I'm particularly interested in the eyeliner, oil essence and foundation... so don't be surprised if you find me using those this winter! 

All the products are available at all the usual GOSH stockists right now so you have no excuse not to start thinking about the next season immediately. 

I'd love to know your thoughts on the range and if you try out any of the products yourself, come back and let me know how you got on! 

Stay safe, x
