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.

Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick Review
Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick Get inspired by the neutral nudes of the 90s with Jaclyn Hill's signature lipstick, 1995. Inspired by the 90s grunge revival and the beauty trends of an unforgettable decade, this iconic creation is a matte but creamy lip color that isn't trendy but a timeless expression of glam.

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!
I recently purchased my first Gerard Cosmetics lipstick and I am shocked.
This lipstick is creamier, more opaque and wauy nicer shade than any of my mac lipsticks!! Its insane! I got an odd colour because I recently went blonde and wanted to try something different so I order the colour 'Underground' which is a mauvey grey ash nude colour and i freaking love it!!! It looks like pale purple mixed with silver grey! It is insane and makes my teeth look so white, it especially suits blondes and make you look tanner without looking washed out! It stays on even through eating and drinking and give the most gorgeous satin finish! Defiantly buying a tonne more!
I'm used to my MAC lipsticks and have been pretty loyal but after hearing my beautician rave about these and using a discount code I ordered 3 lipsticks.
They were super cheap and arrived after a few weeks (keep that in mind too).
For me, the texture was the strangest. It highlighted every imperfection on my lips and made me feel so self conscious. They also didn't last long at all, I had to reapply every hour or so.
In the end I gave them all away and probably wouldn't buy the lipsticks again. Might try the lip gloss though
Tips: They always post discount codes on Facebook...and apparently they mess up orders pretty often, but you just keep what they sent you and they'll send you more...
I am obsessed with these lipsticks! At the moment I only have 3: 1995, Nude and All Dolled Up. 1995 is definitely my favourite, it is the perfect deep brownish/pink. Nude is the perfect nude for every skin tone and it looks amazing under a nude gloss. All Dolled Up however is my least favourite. In pictures online, it looked like the perfect barbie pink which I love but when I got it, it was a neon/highlighter pink which looked way too bright for my skin tone (i have a light/medium skin tone). The formula of these lipsticks are unbeatable though, they have matte finish but it doesn't dry my lips at all. The most amazing thing I noticed about these lipsticks is that when I drink my coffee from a mug, there is no lipstick left on the cup! So this lipstick lasts ages even if you eat or drink. Even though the packaging does feel quite cheap, it still looks pretty and the actual product is the most important part. So excited for more colours to be released :)
Tips: For the All Dolled Up lipstick I wear a dark mauve/wine colour lip liner underneath and then apply the lipstick. The colour comes out as a pinky/purple colour which I love!
I only own the 1995 lipstick and it is awesome. It's more like a matte formula/ finish which means it lasts for hours.. I need to get more Gerard Lippys! 1995 is the also the perfect Kylie Jenner Lipstick!
Tips: Expect them to be a little bit dry/ matte
I just brought the one lipstick 1995 sadly the colour wasn't me but i love the formula so am looking forward to trying some the other colors! these look great paired with their lip glosses over top for bit of a different finish! so 8/10 (:
Tips: If lips are dry apply lip barm first (: (:
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.
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 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' .
