There have been many great lipsticks before them, and there will inevitably be many great lipsticks after, but this summer GOSH have stolen the must-have-lipstick crown from some of their more premium counterparts. Available in eight shades of loveliness, GOSH's new Velvet Touch matte lipsticks offer an incredible pigment in a Vitamin-E enriched formula that glides on to leave a sophisticated finish. It's slightly glossy to start with, drying to leave a non-powdery result that's elegant and on-trend; at £6.99, these are totally purse friendly while giving much more premium brands a run for their money.

From the nudest of nudes, to bold coral and pink, right through to a cherry red and statement aubergine, within these eight shades is a tone for every lipstick need. The bullets contain hydrating oils and Vitamin E, but there's no avoiding the dryness matte lipsticks cause - these definitely won't last all day and definitely won't leave your pout feeling plump, but when used in moderation with a touch of lip balm underneath to protect the surface, they definitely make a statement. They're probably best worn of an evening or in conjunction with a dab of gloss (although that defeats the point of a matte finish,) but regardless they're a fab budget buy. The darkest shade is completely comparable to a NARS lipstick I have which has the going rate of around three times the price; you just can't argue with that. GOSH are definitely upping their game this season and this launch is the first of many to float my boat. Watch this space...
What do you think of these new lipsticks? Are you a matte lover, or prefer a glossier finish?
