Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick Review

I bought a few shades of these lippies in a deal, and the one that stands out the most is Tequila Sunrise because I don't like it. I looked up swatches and must have been drunk when I purchased this because it's bright bloody orange.

The formula is so lovely and creamy, and when I swatched it on my hand it was a lovely pink color. Sadly, when I googled swatches further, I saw it was actually a bright orange and I knew immediately it would wash me out, so I didn't bother trying it on my lips. The formula on my hand was gorgeous, and lasted a long time even though I played in it and smooshed it around.

I like the gold packaging, and it reminds me of a little gold bullet. Sadly though, and because of how slack Whitening Lightening were with the shipping and the fact my shipping code was invalid for 4 weeks, I won't be buying any more shades.

I was looking for the perfect red lipstick and heard great reviews about "fire engine red" I looked up the swatch a few times on different skin tones and decided to purchase, on arrival I was so impressed with the packing, they remind me of gold bullets. I opened it up and looked at it and the colour was just on so vibrant before even swatching !! I applied lip liner and you should with most red lipstickes and started to apply the lipstick. I found the formula wasn't creamy is was kind of dry .... Like I had to let it warm up first. I went with it anyway and later found it to be waited drying and was cracking around the edges as if I was dehydrated 10mins after application. I have since have tried the lipstick another few times by warming it up. Using lip balm, etc etc etc and I haven't found much difference, I am a little disappointed but I want to purchase one more lipstick just to compare as people rave about these and I'm feeling I just had a but of bad luck maybe ?

First of all I have to say the packaging is amazing and the deals they comes out from this brand are never ending. I just want to get all the colours. I have 1995, Nude, kimchi doll and butter cream. 1995 is my favourite and butter cream second. 1995 is a sultry deep brown with a red undertone with my skin (yellow, warm undertones) and I think it makes me look more tan and stays on amazingly. I like buttercream next as it goes on so smooth and the best pinky nude colour I have come across. Kimchi doll is very similar to buttercream but much lighter. If you mix kimchi doll with a deeper colour it would be perfect. Nude is a nice colour but comes of a little orange for me so I do not reach for it as much. Overall they are great pigmentation, long lasting, gorgeous packaging and when bought in a deal (I brought 4 for $45 with free worldwide shipping from gerardcosmetics.com) then they are not that pricey for lipsticks

I was gifted this by a fellow BR girl. when i first recieved this, the thing that stood out the most, was the Gold Bullet! my magpie eyes zoomed straight towards it. then i open it and see a nude shade, which, i will be honest, i have way to many nudes and even though i knew what it looked like, i though 'oh no K, not another one', BUT OMG! this beats ALL my other nudes, including my hug me MAC one. it applies like a DREAM! and it lasts a good 2 hours before fading, evey now and then i will top with a gloss, but not all the time. I am seriously in love with this shade, and i am looking forward to one day owning more of Gerad lipsticks. 10/10 for my perfect Nude shade that isnt 'my lips but better' .

I have been collecting all the lipsticks and have a fairly good collection for their glosses too I love the fact that they have a great staying power (best staying power I have had in a lipstick) They are super pigmented though and long lasting with out bleeding colour all over your face, and don't forget their cute packaging, like a gold bullet

although they are not with out fault I have some that have faulty packaging, (applying lipstick and slowly the product is pushed back down so you have to wind it up again to finish application) also their formulates fairy with different colours or release dates, their newer colours are a lot creamer then their originals so if you have dry skin you may well have a little problem.

Love them and currently need them all! I have a couple and they are creamy and so pigmented. My favourite one I'm using everyday is Berry Smoothie it glides on so easily and lasts me pretty much all day and leaves a nice stain of colour on the lips for the duration if I don't reapply. Goes on nicely over any lipliner and is great under gloss Gerard lipglosses are also amazing. The packaging is super pretty also and easy to travel with.

I love the colours available in this lipstick range, absolutely beautiful, the price seems high at first - but there are constantly sales or discount codes so you never need to pay full price. The packaging feels a little cheap, and I've had a lid of one crack, but that's not really a deal breaker. The lipsticks are so pigmented - I love the colour pay off you get. They're on the more matte side - but not fully matte I don't think. They feel comfortable and last a decent amount of time. The only thing is I would avoid putting them on dry lips as they can emphasise the dry patches sometimes.

I've got about five of these lipsticks and I really do appreciate them all. I have quite chappy lips so before I apply the lipstick I have to scrub my lips and put a balm on like ten minutes before hand. Even then sometimes I need to apply a gloss just so my lips don't feel dry. The colours are really awesome though which is why I keep using them!

Gorgeous packaging, definitely stands out! Great for everyday, I apply a little and pop a clear lip balm on top, it's leaves a pretty stain on your lips. Consistency is creamy and you don't have to apply much to see the beautiful colour. Long lasting and stays on when you eat and drink. Beautiful range of colours, which I can't wait to purchase!

Let me start by saying that I absolutely LOVE this lipstick. The packaging is beautiful, they're not too expensive (especially since they have really good deals ALL THE TIME), and I really like the colour and formula.

I have the colour 1995, which is the most popular one it seems.. It comes up pretty dark and brown on me, but I like it for something different. The texture (not sure if this is the same for all of them) is pretty drying, and I have dry lips anyway, so I always have to put a lip balm underneath it. It lasts a really long time and when it starts fading off, I think it does so in quite a nice way. Not too noticeable and doesn't go patchy.

Berry Smoothie and Rodeo Drive are definitely next on my list - the colours look sooo beautiful in the online swatches.
