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.

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!

A few months ago there was a discount code to get a bundle of three lipglosses for around $30-ish including shipping. So many YouTubers had been raving about how great these glosses were so I decided to try them out for myself . Firstly I was a bit confused as I'd expected them to all have the same packaging, all three have different packaging. Two have silver lids with the labelling printed in white onto the tube, one is Gerard Cosmetics white the other is branded as Whitening Lightening then the third has a gold lid and the Gerard Cosmetics 'GC' logo printed onto the lid. This isn't a huge deal, I just guess I'd expected them all to be from the same stock. The packaging is okay, I do think it would be more attractive if they were all the same and you had the choice to switch the lights off on the wand which can be a bit distracting.

The formula I feel varies from colour to colour but all three I purchased carry the same scent which smelt familiar but I just couldn't put my finger on what it was until summer rolled around and I had to break out the fly spray again- that's it, their scent reminds me of fly spray but with a slight hint of fruit. It's chemically and very artificially scented, not extremely horrible to the point I can't tolerate it but certainly not appealing to me either.

Coral Craze- The colour is nice but the formulation lets it down big time. Super sticky, gluggy looking/feeling and patchy! I haven't found a way to apply this without looking like I have really dry, chapped patches on my lips.

Butter Cream- This one is a very wearable nude pink shade on me, the formula is nicer than Coral Craze but I do find it sinks into the lines on my lips and gathers there more than I'd like but that could be a lipgloss thing. If I wear a nude lipliner underneath it's not as bad so overall I do like this colour, it's easy to throw on and is easily wearable.

Seduction- A really pretty bold wine colour that pairs stunningly with MAC Rebel, Diva & Nightmoth. I love this shade, the formula is much like Butter Cream in my opinion but I think with it being a darker colour I don't notice is sinking into the lines on my lips as much.

Overall I think these are just glosses, nothing spectacular and certainly not worth the normal RRP!

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.

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 bought a few of these in a deal and I'm not in love with them. I've decided that I am definitely not a gloss girl.

The packing is really annoying. It is a long rectangle with a barely working mirror on one of the sides. Click open the lid and get immediately blinded and poke your face with the stick part and get a sticky face! Hmm, no thanks. I don't like the light feature, and I especially don't like the fact that you can't turn the light off.

The formula isn't sticky, but if it was windy and your hair was down your hair would probably get stuck in it. The product is fairly pigmented, too, which is great. I felt the color bled a lot though, which I really didn't like, and I ended up hating it for that fact alone. I won't be purchasing these again!

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!

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 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.
