Gerard Cosmetics Lipgloss Review

All I'd been hearing about were the Whitening Lightening/ Gerard Cosmetics lipglosses, so while ordering a lipstick bundle I decided to try a lipgloss bundle too. I'm not a huge fan of lipgloss but hearing people loving these made me want them.

I have shades:

Nude: a peachy nude, this is my favourite out of my 3. It's oaque enough to wear alone but you can also use it over a lipstick.

Coral Craze: I HATE this one! It applies gross and shade doesn't suit me (not its fault!) it kind of looks patchy and gluggy looking. Yuk, the formula doesn't impress me!

Rosehill: this is a pretty, opaque dark rose colour.

They all have a tacky feel which makes them last a while. Not overly sticky but not quite a pleasant feeling either! The scent is really nice, fruity!

The packaging is quite big. They have gold lids which look nice. Doe foot applicator (is that how you describe gloss applicators??) it has a clear body so you can see the colour and product. On the side is a little mirror and the lid has lights in so you can app,y in the dark. I actually find the lights annoying while applying.

Overall I'm not going to be repurchasing any more, lipglosses aren't for everyone and while I'm not overly fussy on them I find these to be very overhyped.

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 brought rose hill after hearing many rave reviews from youtubers. I have to say I'm not really thrilled with this product but that could be because I don't like lipglosses but I will keep trying it and hopefully my opinion of these will be swayed. These are very opaque for lipglosses and you can wear alone or on top of lipsticks. The product has a consistent formula and not patchy. The smell is not very nice, a very fake chemical smell, its really hard to describe but not too overpowering. The packaging is quite neat with a mirror on the side and lights in the lid. However I do find the light to be very annoying and have looked at trying to turn the lights off but with no success The product itself is quite expensive. I brought mine off trade me for about $30. It is best to buy these when youtubers give out discount coupon codes and shipping is free. I have brought a bundle recently this way from gerard cosmetics and just waiting on them to arrive.

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.

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 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.
