Gerard Cosmetics Lipgloss Review

I bought the colour Coral Craze with a discount code, that Shaaanxo posted on her Facebook. I love the colour, but i am so disappointed formular wise. It is veeeery tacky and not smooth at all. Personally, I really did not enjoy this lipgloss. It budged throughout the day and was not comfortable to wear.

I mean, I'm not really a lipgloss person. I'm all about dem matte lips, baby. But, once in a blue moon I'll go for a glossy lip (more often, if I'm not wearing makeup but don't want to look dead) and despite my larger collection of MAC lipgalsses (I am SUCH a sucker for LE packaging....) I tend to reach for my Gerard glosses first. I have two fairly neutral pinks, so they go with about anything and the formula is really nice, not sticky at all. They also don't smell awful, which is a huge thumbs up!

I brought Candy Kiss as my first Gerard Cosmetics product (which is Shaaanxo's lipgloss). I fell in love with the colour and could not wait to receive it! The packaging looks fancy and you get a nice amount of product! Its clear packaging so you see the colour directly, with a small mirror on the side and a light on the wand when opened. The light is a good touch but sometimes it can be a bit blinding! The lipgloss itself is a sticky formula but I find it does settle down after wear yet creates a gorgeous finish. This colour is quite light but the product is very opaque I dont enjoy wearing it alone as I find I can't get a smooth application but I LOVE it over nude or pink lipsticks such as MAC Creme Cup.

The packaging is really sweet. I like the mirror and the light, it is a nice added touch though it does remind me of a lip gloss I had when I was a tween.

I have the shade Spring Fling which is a very pale, milky pink. It is a lot paler on the lips than it looks in the tube.

The formula smells nice but it is quite sticky when applying. As the shade I have is quite pale and milky, it is hard to get the lip gloss to look streak free and to blend the lines out.

Once on the lips the formula settles and feels quite nice. For me, it doesn't budge that much but after a while it starts to sit in the lines on my lips.

I did an order along with a few other girls thatare in an international make up buying group on facebook. I would never singularly make a purchase like this so Im happy to climb on board with others. At the time Gerrard had a three pack deal going. In this deal is one gloss, one lipstick and one liquid matte. I went online to search for lip gloss swatches. From there I decided on my colour. I chose Cocoa Bean.

This lip gloss comes in a sleek rectangular shaped bottle. This gold detailing on this gloss feels luxurious and classy. Its eye catching and Im a sucker for shiny things. Along the side of this lid is a mirror. You could easily use this if you need to do touch ups. The formula of this is smooth. I was surprised at how non sticky this was. It went on like a liquid matte lipstick. I believe the more you layer it thats when it can become tacky. Theres no scent with this which doesn't bother me.

I wore this for a whole day. It did have transfer which I expected with a gloss. I did need to apply after three to four hours wear time. When I first applied this, this glowing light came on. I felt like my gloss wand was a light sword like something from star wars. I couldn't help but giggle to myself.

After using this gloss I definitely want to add more of them into my collection. These glosses feel luxurious. I think this packaging has been well thought of. I would definitely use this again.

I brought the shade candy kiss because it is shaaanxo's lip gloss she made and I loved the colour of it and had always wanted to try Gerard cosmetics products. I like the packaging of the lip gloss, the gold is very nice and you can clearly see the colour through the tube. I am not a huge fan of the light, it is quite bright but I can see the useful side of having a light on it. I love the gloss, it isn't too sticky and doesn't feel like some of those cheap glosses you can get that are just horrible. I love the colour of it, very natural and you can put it on other lip products to add an extra touch. Definitely keen to try more of their products.
