Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick Review

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' .

After all they hype these lippies have been getting I had to try one. I love brown lipsticks, and so thought that the (almost) iconic 1995 would be the one I needed to try. It arrived as a late birthday present, and I'm obsessed with it!

I can't get over how lovely the colour is. It's a deep brown, almost burgandy, and looks lovely for a deep winter lip. The formulation is impressive, and I have truly fallen in love.

This lipstick is matte, although it takes some time to get to that stage. Once it is completely dry, it is matte and doesn't transfer at all. Even though it's matte I find it to be moisturising, and I don't feel like my lips are drying out or the need to apply balm/gloss as well. Wear time is a few hours, although it does wear off more if you are eating/drinking (like most lipsticks).

Overall, I love the colour and formulation of this lipstick. The packaging makes me think of a fancy tampon occasionally, but that's not really a problem for me - others have said it's like a bullet so that's accurate too. Either way, this is amazing as a lipstick!

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.

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

After hearing all the hype on youtube about these I needed to try them. Although skeptical, I found a great discount code so went ahead and ordered 3 in the shades Nude, Buttercup and Cherry Cordial.

They come in gold packaging shaped like the MAC lippies which looks really cool now however they feel a little cheap (plastic isn't as 'heavy' as the MAC ones if that makes sense) and I suspect after a couple of months rolling around with my other products the gold may chip/flake off.

The actual lipsticks I would describe as a demi-matte finish with buttercup having the slightest bit more sheen than the rest (you wouldn't notice unless you swatches them all together). I absolutely LOVE the finish on these, I think they are so flattering. They don't look cracked and dry like some matte's however still give the matte effect which you can always add a gloss too if that's your thing.

They are all super opaque on the lips and I find I only need one or two coats with these to look fantastic. As Cat said, Buttercup is slightly more sheer than the others but can easily be built up.

The lasting power is incredible too, they last me a good few hours and are easy to touch up (doesn't go crumbly or gross)

My favourite surprisingly is Cherry Cordial, I chose this one on a bit of a whim but it is a STUNNING dark vampy berry shade that looks incredible on the lips - I will be taking this on my trip to Canada to wear (its winter there now) as it is the perfect winter shade! Be warned, it does stain though!

I feel like I'm rambling now but you get the gist I hope! These are amazing and definitely worth a go if you were thinking about purchasing them. They are overpriced in my opinion however there are plenty of coupon codes floating around so you never have to pay full price. I will definitely be purchasing more colours in the future to try!

Gorgeous packaging, definitely stands out! Great for everyday, I apply a little and pop a clear lip balm on top, it's leaves a pretty stain on your lips. Consistency is creamy and you don't have to apply much to see the beautiful colour. Long lasting and stays on when you eat and drink. Beautiful range of colours, which I can't wait to purchase!

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 (:

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.

I've been using Gerard Cosmetic lipsticks since they launched and I always have one of the colours in my bag.

The product itself is amazing, with the exception of Buttercup it has great pigmentation (1-2 swipes should do the trick), applies on smoothly and lasts about 5 hours on my lips. I don't notice any feathering and don't have to retouch as often.

The packaging is beautiful but I was disappointed to find it's actually quite cheap. It's incredibly light to the point I initially thought there was no product in the bullet). Out of the 7 I own I received 3 with dents (which I don't believe was due to shipping) and 1 with a crooked logo - not a deal breaker for me.

I would highly recommend 1995 and Cherry Cordial - bold colours. The one I like the least is Buttercup! It doesn't show up very well on my lips I have to lay down a pink lip liner before I can get some colour but it looks nothing like the swatches online.

I purchased my lipsticks using coupon codes and would recommend you check for available discounts before making a purchase.

First of all I have to say the packaging is amazing and the deals they comes out from this brand are never ending. I just want to get all the colours. I have 1995, Nude, kimchi doll and butter cream. 1995 is my favourite and butter cream second. 1995 is a sultry deep brown with a red undertone with my skin (yellow, warm undertones) and I think it makes me look more tan and stays on amazingly. I like buttercream next as it goes on so smooth and the best pinky nude colour I have come across. Kimchi doll is very similar to buttercream but much lighter. If you mix kimchi doll with a deeper colour it would be perfect. Nude is a nice colour but comes of a little orange for me so I do not reach for it as much. Overall they are great pigmentation, long lasting, gorgeous packaging and when bought in a deal (I brought 4 for $45 with free worldwide shipping from gerardcosmetics.com) then they are not that pricey for lipsticks
