If you read my blog regularly, you will have noticed a few posts featuring GADE Cosmetics. Having launched here in the UK back in June, they are now launching, today on QVC.
Pronounced Jade, GA-DE is an award-winning cosmetics, skincare and perfumery company from Israel. GA-DE has an incredible range of products for the cheeks, lips, eyes and face and it stretched from makeup to skincare.
On my blog so far I have shade the the Aqua Jolt skincare collection, the Eye Care Serum and Gel as well as an introduction to some of the products GADE had to offer when they first landed. Today I am sharing a few more products, some are on sale now with QVC and they launch officially tonight at 5pm, so look out for some real bargains on some of these beauties.
First up we have the beautiful Imagine Eyeshadow Palette (£29.50). Featuring 8 highly pigmented shades, this is a palette that can take you from morning to the evening in one.
These 8 shades feature a mixture of different textures and finishes which range from matte, chrome metallic and crystal-inspired multi-dimensional and above you can see unedited swatches of those finishes. Whether you like your more neutral look or something that pops, Gade Imagine has those bases covered. Enriched with sweet almond oil extract to help protect and soften the eyelid, these shadows can be applied wet or dry depending on your preference, above they are dry swatches.
Next we have the Gade Crystal Lights High Shine Lipgloss (£16.50) and for someone like me who is not a fan of Lipgloss, I am loving these and here is why.
Described as being a smooth and silky high shine lip gloss which is enriched with light-reflecting, crystal pearls. Packaged inside a lightweight tube which features a really handy mirror and in the applicator lid, there are two tiny lights, which really help with the application.
Available in 10 different shades, I have Morganite and Smoked Topaz. As you can see from above, Morganite is a light pink shade which features a hint of sparkle and Smoke Topaz is a deep Burgundy shade but the reflective pearls give it quite the shimmer. The formula is neither clumpy or sticky when applied and I love that you can wear them on their own or over your lipstick and they are pretty either way.
The final item I sharing today happens to be my favourite category of makeup - Mascara! From Gade Cosmetics I have the Idyllic High Definition Volume & Length Mascara.
Described as being a high defining mascara for instant volume. I am picky with my Mascaras because I cannot stand an overly wet formula or overly fat brushes. I have fairly long eyelashes, so I don't want to feel as though they are heavy with formula or have used a wand to make them look clumped together.
This Idyllic Mascara uses a special blend of two marine algae extracts with stimulating and anti-oxidant properties and it works alongside and with grape seed extract and a hydra-mineral complex which works to protect the lashes. Within its formula there is a naturally derived polymer, a blend of two filming agents which give the lashes that definition. The wand as you can see is short with spikes and I haven't used a wand similar to this for a long time. What I like is that it allows you to work through and get between the lashes to evenly coat each one and it does so without over-loading the brush with formula.
These are just a few of the Gade Cosmetics products I am lucky enough to be using right now and over on QVC there is a whole lot more to choose from!
