Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick Review

I think that this lipsticks are super cute in their golden toned bullets but for some reason I haven't yet purchased more!

Formula wise, the lipstick has a velvet texture to it that allows it to be evenly applied without dragging on your lips, with no bleeding or feather occurring. The pigmentation is spot on and gives you an even coat of colour in one swipe per lip. They are not long lasting and you do need to top them up every couple of hours as they wear off your lips but that is the texture of this type of lipstick and I don't mind topping it up when it is needed.

Tequila Sunrise - Peachy orange shade

I don't have any strong feelings about this lipstick and I rarely reach for it at all when I am applying makeup. It is a lovely lipstick and nice to wear, it is that I just don't use it that has me with a truly neutral review on it.

I had this given to me in the colour Kimchi doll, the packaging is a nice gold mirrored bullet with Gerard cosmetics stamped on the bottom half of the bullet.

The colour Kimchi Doll is a nude peach and not really the ideal colour for my medium skin tone as the colour is quite light and quite sheer.

I do however love how creamy and buttery the formula of the lipstick is, it glides on effortlessly and doesn't drag or pull. It has a strange scent to it and it reminds me of my grandmas lipsticks when I was younger. It's not unpleasant but it's definitely different.

This transfers onto everything and I find I have to touch up every hour. This cream/sheer finish doesn't dry my lips out and I find I don't need to wear lip balm underneath which is great for those of us with dry lips.

I love the creamy formula of this lipstick but the colour, sheerness and it transferring all the time make me not like this lipstick. Unsure if I would purchase anymore because I have heard great things about these lipsticks.

Im in an international facebook group that buys make up from overseas. One of the latest order deals was a bulk lip package with one lipstick, one gloss and one liquid matte. I instantly opted to jump on this order as I have been curious about Gerrards products. This brand has featured make up artists such as Shanxxo and Manny. Instantly I was intrigued by this brand.

This lipstick came in a beautiful shiny gold bullet shaped lipstick holder. It feels like luxury. The shade I chose is Rodeo Drive. I've always dreamed of going down Rodeo drive to shop and this is the closest I can get lol . This shade is a pale shade of pink. Its formula is smooth and creamy.

When I apply it fits nicely onto my lips. But it did transfer over everything that touched my lips. Within an hour of wearing this I needed to touch up my lips. Overall the packaging is brilliant but I didn't like the formula of this. Maybe if it was a bit matte in texture then I would definitely buy it again

I do like these lipsticks and love the bullet packaging. They are hydrating and there is a lot of colours - and there is always discount coupons floating around so you can get them a little cheaper.

After a bit of a muck around and about a 4 week wait time my whitening lightening/Gerard cosmetics order arrived yesterday. Picking shades was a hassle and a half with no swatches or even pictures of the products in their packaging to give an indication of what the colors were like. In the end after bouncing from window to window I selected as my lipstick shade all dolled up, which appeared to be a gentle pink- nothing too crazy. Well, what a shock I got when I opened the tube to find a neon, in your face, super bright pink- not at all what I was looking for. As far as formulations go, this applies easy and is fairly creamy, although not extremely so. I have a feeling if your lips were super dry then this product my require a bit of prep work to ensure a non-blotchy application. The packaging is super sleek, which I was very impressed by. It is bullet shaped and a shiny (but somehow not tacky) gold. I have heard negative reviews about the smell of Gerard lip products, but although this has a faint scent, I cant put my finger on what it is- definitely not offensive IMO. This company would greatly benefit from putting some swatches or similar on their site to avoid other customers making the same mistakes as me. As it is I will be applying this like a stain (blotting off after application) in order to tone down the intensity- even after this it will be an in your face bold lip- great if that's your thing, but its not mine!

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
