Gerard Cosmetics Lipgloss Review

I purchased the shade Nude to try (I am not usually a gloss wearer). I was surprised by how much a gloss can change a look. I teamed the Nude gloss with Gerard Cosmetics Nude lipstick and they were like a marriage made in heaven!! The gloss made the lipstick abit more wearable by giving it abit of moisture to it. And one thing I liked about the gloss was that I could part my lips without that whole sticky/ tackey struggle that most glossed do. The gloss is richly pigmented and applies well with the well designed tip of the wand. Talking of the packaging . . . it is the most stunning lipgloss packaging ever, with 2 little L.E.D lights inside the top lid and with a small mirror on the base, makes this gloss user friendly for travelling or on the go. Now for the longevity of this gloss . . . I find if I wear it alone I need to reapply after eating/ drinking or within at least the few hours of applying, however if worn over top of a lipstick like Gerard Cosmetics Nude lipstick it can last abit longer. I can't wait to try some of their other shades.

These glosses are highly pigmented I own about 10 different shades and love them all, they have great staying power and used in conjunction with their lipsticks give a great long lasting lip colour!

I love their packaging they stand out from anything else I've every brought lipgloss wise, they have a mini mirror, which I have never really used but it's cute and different and there if you need it! Also with its little built in light it makes for a life saver if where you are is poorly lit!

The formula is slightly tacky so if you are not a massive fan of sticky glosses you may not be a fa of these, personally for me once I got use to it I loved the formula I've had worse products where my hair would be blown into my face and would get stuck in my gloss and I'd be walking around looking like I had a beard in my face but luckily these are definitely not the same and not that bad!

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 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've heard so much about these lip glosses from all the sponsored reviews on youtube and while I was very skeptical, I found some great coupon codes so decided to try them out.

I got three lip glosses and three lipsticks + shipping for about $90 NZD with my discount code which sounds pricey but when you think about it, thats equivalent to two MAC lipsticks.

The packaging in my opinion is pretty tacky, the whole light up gloss + mirror thing screams cheap tacky $2 shop gloss to me and the mirror doesn't even work, its absolutely hopeless and the reflection on your phone screen would do a better job.

That aside, I was super surprised when I tried the glosses because I actually LOVE them! They are super opaque but blend into the lips for a natural looking shade and are tacky but not sticky. They last me a good few hours which is incredible for a gloss!

They smell pretty bad (chemically/plasticky) however this is not really noticeable unless you stick the wand up to your nose and take a good whiff.

The lipgloss shades I chose are nude (light peachy/brown), sugar mama (baby pink) and buttercream (nude pink), fairly safe shades and I love them all on me. I was a little scared to try the nude because its a lot more peach/brown than I was expecting but because its a gloss and a little less opaque than a lipstick I actually really like it.

Overall I was really impressed by these, I was expecting rubbish and while the packaging is terrible and tacky, the product inside is actually awesome. I will definitely be looking at trying some of the more bold colours.

I think they are overpriced and personally wouldn't pay quite this much for them however there are always plenty of great discount codes floating around so you'd be silly to pay full price!

I usually steer clear of lip glosses because I find a lot of them drying and messy but after seeing all the rave reviews I had to give them a go.

All lip glosses were purchased from Whitening Lightening and Gerard Cosmetics so I have a mix of old packaging (silver lids) and new packaging (gold lids). They're light-weight and prone to dents and scratches so mine have had better days.

These are my favourite glosses because they're non-drying, stay in place and have amazing pigmentation. The gloss generally last a good 4-5 hours on my lips.

I absolutely hate the lights, I find it distracting. I don't use the mirror but it's good quality just make sure to remove the thin film of plastic. If you can't see your reflection it means the film is still on the mirror. It took me a couple of tries to find the corner of the film for one gloss so don't despair!

Out of the 6 I own I highly recommend Cocoa Bean and Seduction - both bold colours. I used coupon codes to purchase my lip glosses which I receive via email because I'm subscribed to the website.

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.

This lip glosses have the most awesome packaging with two led lights in the lid! im not normally a lip gloss girl as i don't like the stickiness of gloss but i don't mind this one, it is great over a lipstick really changed the look! 7/10 just simply because im not that into glosses this is prob the top one i have tried so far (:

I love all my Gerard cosmetics lip glosses. These are the first ever lip glosses that I saw start the trend of a light and mirror on their packaging. I have 8 of them and think the pigmentation, smell and design are great. They are quite expensive for lip glosses but when you buy them with their deals they are well worth their money. I would recommend trying a cheaper version like the Nyx butter glosses first and if your on a budget. I am not normally a gloss girl and they can be a little sticky onto your lips but you are paying for the brand to add to collection so I think they are worth it.

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.
