GOSH EYE SHADOW BASE
(description from GOSH website)
This silky soft, creamy base in stick form makes easy application. Extremely waterproof, it gives all types of eyeshadow a beautiful, long-lasting appearance without melting. Recommended for eyes that easily tear up. GOSH eye shadow base has a high melting point so even under hot skies, the eyeshadow remains perfect. The creamy consistency makes it easy to apply on the eyelid and tone out with your finger or an applicator/brush. Apply eye shadow on top and blend with the base to get eye shadow that will last the whole day.
- Makes eye shadow waterproof
- Perfect base for all traditional powder eye shadows
- Never needs to be sharpen
- Always ready for use
- No preservatives
- Contains no perfume
Hi everyone. Another review of a product that is not locally available.. Perhaps this is the penultimate reason why I have more international readers than local ones.. :S I bought this from sis Ida of http://naturalsandminerals.blogspot.com/. I cannot resist because it is only 130 pesos!! I was looking for a new eye shadow base that could withstand Philippine's humidity and weird weather changes which is really alarming right? I wanted to buy Etide House Proof 10 primer but it was always OOS (out of stock). I gave this a try despite the lack of review in the internet and I am really curious about GOSH cosmetics. I love their velvet touch eyeliner which is really waterproof!! I also bought this because I have problems using shimmery eye shadows.. The light shimmery ones does not actually show up on me and glides off quickly on my lids. I have read that this works best with shimmery eye shadows.
This eye shadow base comes in a stick form which is really easy to use. This looks like a regular eyeshadow stick.
When applied, it looks like a white shimmery base. The consistency reminded me of artdeco's e/s base but better. This shadow base glides smoothly but it dries quickly.
After blending it gives off that nice sheen. You can actually use this alone to highlight your lids!

I use my 180 palette in this picture. I tried using it with shimmery e/s and it made my e/s color look better.

I want to dispel doubts on this base. Being a shimmery base, some say it would not look good on matte e/s but try looking at the picture above. It can be use with any kind of eye shadow. However unlike my all natural face primer, this does not enhances the color of eye shadow that much.
What I love about this eye shadow base:
- Makes my eye shadow adhere better on my lids even those powder ones.
- Brings out the true color in my e/s. It looks good especially on light shimmery eyeshadows and those blue and violet ones.
- Glides easily and smoothly. I have no problem using two- three coats of this one. Just make sure to blend very well to prevent it from caking.
- Very easy to use since it is in stick form.
- This prevented my eye shadow from creasing.
- It really made my e/s last longer!!! My eye shadow stayed put for 7 hrs!But I have yet to try this on a really hot and humid day.
- It can be used with matte or shimmery eye shadows.
What I do not like about this eye shadow base:
- Not locally available.. :C
- Dries quickly.
- I think this will not look good on lids with wrinkles since it tends to highlight lines.
A comparative test. My eyeshadow after7 hours.
After 7 hours. Sorry for the blurry pic it was already night time when I took this picture. As you can see my eye shadow stayed in place. My eyeshadow just faded a little. I am excited to get my All Natural Face Eye Primer for oily lids!!! I already ordered and I can't wait.
I have been very busy with school. Hello to stress and sleepless nights. I am almost losing my sanity because my computer broke down. UGH!! thank god it is now fixed. I recently got these stuffs which Eyeko sent me. As always, I am thrilled when they asked me if I wanted to try their new products.
They sent me fierce purple.
Here are the shades that I got:
Eyeko Tea Rose Polish
A soft pink cream that is the picture of pastoral elegance
Eyeko Coral Polish
Dreaming of Ipanema beach? This flattering coral bright will get your toes resort-ready.
Eyeko Vampira Polish
Dare to wear this lust-worthy glossy black lacquer dripping with blood red shimmer
That's all for now.. I might be posting a review on my GOSH eyeshadow base tomorrow.

I know my All Natural Face Eyeshadow primer creases big time but I still love it (a lot). This is always my primer on my eotd's and i also foil my e/s with the use of damp cloth with my homemade mixing medium. Click
here for tutorial on how to make your own mixing medium. It can make my eyeshadow look so pigmented.. It even made the fashion 21 eyebrow duo work for me. See my older post. I use it as a base of my eyebrow duo. Then, I bumped into their new formula --- an eyeshadow primer for oily lids.. Now, I want this one instead of Etude House Proof 10 and ELF Mineral Eyeshadow!! I want!! I really do.. I will buy ASAP!! hahaha

GOSH GREEN GRASS VELVET TOUCH LINER
This liner is goes on very smoothly. On my EOTD, I used it on my lower lashline. The color is very vibrant and pigmented too. This is absolutely waterproof. I have tried rubbing it with water and it did not budge nor smudge at all!! But with soap and water, this liner easily comes off. Applying it is very easy because it glides smoothly on skin. The consistency is creamy and the staying power is awesome too. I really wish GOSH is available in the Philippines!!
To my readers, I hope you like this look. Thank you so much for following my blog. I already hit 500 followers!! WOW!! that's a lot. This came as a surprise to me because unlike other blogs I do not feature MAC , Nars or other high end brands but still I gain followers. I truly appreciate it. Have a nice day everyone.
