Here are the other three colours in the Essie Cocktail Bling winter collection - if you missed the first three you can go here to check them out!

Cocktail Bling - creamy pale blue

GOSH takes you to an Urban Jungle for Winter 2011!

GOSH has really gotten into the metallic swing of things with this collection which I am quite liking - the colours are a little different than what I would expect for a winter collection but it works!

Mono Eye Shades - $12 - Rusty, Light Grey, Silver Brown and Dark Grey - would I ever be able to bring myself to ruin the adorable embossing?!

Eye Dust - $12 - in Clay and Soil

Metal Grey Mascara - $15 - there was no tester so I couldn't really gauge how grey or metallic it actually is but it sounds intriguing!

Cheeks 'n Lips - $15 - in Earth-bound and Back To Nature - this has a nice creamy texture equally suitable for exactly what it claims - cheeks and lips - gives a very natural looking flush either location.

Light 'n Shine Lip Glaze - $15 - in Rusty Red - love the lighted tube and surprisingly, I really like this colour - it's not one I've ever tried before as I tend to be more of a pink girl but this coppery red is very flattering!

Nail Lacquer - $7 - in Black Passion, Fossil Grey and Rusty - you know what a polish whore I am and may to be able to resist Fossil Grey and Rusty...

Available now at Shoppers Drug Mart.
