Gosh pigments review!

Hello everyone! A few months ago I bought some pigments on clearance. I put them in my vanity but I never wrote about them. Recently I remembered I hadn't used these beauties in quite a while, I also remembered I never even reviewed them, so that's what I'm going to do today.


All the pigments are by Gosh. They're called "Sky" (white), "Glamour" (yellow) and "Plummy" (brown/purple). The jar that "Plummy" is in is either old packaging or new packaging. It's not thesame as the jars that "Sky" and "Glamour" are in.


The jars might look small but there's a lot of pigment in there!


Swatches! 
"Plummy", "Glamour", "Sky".
I think the pigmentation is amazing. Pigments, in my opinion, are always more pigmented than eyeshadows, but I'm still always very surprised when I see how good the pigmentation is. Does that make sence?
 It does crumble a bit and pigments do give more fall out than eyeshadows but that's not a reason for me not to buy pigments! 


So yes, I am very excited about these babies and I don't even know how I could ever forget about them! They look amazing and I fell in love with them again! Good job, Gosh!

EOTD: Caramel & Chocolate - Essence pigments!

Hi everyone! I've been meaning to post this look so many times but I just never got around to taking pictures of this look.
As you all know, Essence came out with pigments quite a few months ago. I got two called "Smell the caramel", which is a colour I can't really describe so I would say 'caramel' is a good description, and "Box of chocolate", which is a brown colour.. Don't you just love the names?
The colours are quite neutral, I agree, but all the other pigments that were left in my drugstore were orange or pink ones, and I'm not really a big fan of hot pink eyeshadow on regular days, I think it's just a bit too much.
Oh and I'm sorry for updating this late, my Internet is working against me today.

Okay so here are the products that I've used: my liquid eyeliner from a local drugstore (on the left), my highlighter from NYC in "Basic Instinct" (on top), two jars of Essence pigments - the one on the left is "Smell the caramel" and the right one is "Box of chocolate" - and below, the mascara I used, it's the Mega volume black smoke mascara from L'Oréal.



Swatches! No natural daylight so that's why it looks a bit ... Erm, crappy? Anyways, the left finger is "Box of chocolate", next "Smell the caramel" and last my highlighter.


So this is how it looks... At first I was doubting a bit about how wearable it would be but it turned out to be a fun colour. You can build up the intensity if you want; start light and make it darker if you want to. I ended up liking it a lot, I would just advice to be careful with applying - especially with the darkest colour.



And that's how it looks! Let me know what you think!
