Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick Get inspired by the neutral nudes of the 90s with Jaclyn Hill's signature lipstick, 1995. Inspired by the 90s grunge revival and the beauty trends of an unforgettable decade, this iconic creation is a matte but creamy lip color that isn't trendy but a timeless expression of glam.

Berry Smoothie is definitely my fave!!

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!

1995

Let me start by saying that I absolutely LOVE this lipstick. The packaging is beautiful, they're not too expensive (especially since they have really good deals ALL THE TIME), and I really like the colour and formula.

I have the colour 1995, which is the most popular one it seems.. It comes up pretty dark and brown on me, but I like it for something different. The texture (not sure if this is the same for all of them) is pretty drying, and I have dry lips anyway, so I always have to put a lip balm underneath it. It lasts a really long time and when it starts fading off, I think it does so in quite a nice way. Not too noticeable and doesn't go patchy.

Berry Smoothie and Rodeo Drive are definitely next on my list - the colours look sooo beautiful in the online swatches.

Tips: Follow Gerard Cosmetics on Instagram - they always post coupon codes for awesome deals and feature their customers photos which helps with inspiration when using them :) a lot of the colours look amazing when mixed together, and they post quite a few photos of people's combinations.

Tequila Sunrise

I adore these lipsticks. The colours are amazing and so is the formular. They are very easy to apply and don't budge throughout the day. These have easily gotten on the top list of my favourite lipsticks, and I am already planning my next purchase - worth the money!

Tequila Sunrise is a coral, bright color and it is amazing for summer. It would look absolutely fantastic on various skin tones and with a bronze eye look.

1995

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!

Gerard Cosmetics lipstick

Absolutely love these lipsticks. They are super pigmented and long lasting I love the pretty gold packaging. The matte lipsticks are super creamy and easy to apply and are not drying at all. My favourite shade would definitely be kimchi doll which is a super pretty nude pink. I would definitely recommend these lipsticks.

Tips: Look on their Instagram because they often have Promo codes to get huge discounts.

Love the Gold

I purchased 3 lipsticks from Gerard Cosmetics. Fire engine, Underground and Grape Soda. As soon as I got them I fell in love with the gold packaging I thought it was so classy and just awesome as it stands out from any other lipsticks I have. These lipsticks are very opaque. Even though these are matte they are still creamy and very long lasting compared to other high end lipsticks I have. My favourite Colour is my everyday colour is underground. Definitely would love to collect the whole range of lipsticks!!

Love everything about 1995.... Lipstick.

I adore this lipstick. It's neutral enough to wear as an everyday shade, but also dark enough that when paired with a dramatic or smoky eye looks excellent for a night out. The formula is smooth, and the lipstick glides on easily.

Tips: Looks great with MAC lip liner in Whirl or Stone (oddly enough). Excellent buy, and who doesn't love Jaclyn Hill?? xxx

Tequila Sunrise

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.

Is your one on the dry Side? I pulled mine out today in the same color. While I actually really like the color, it's doesn't go on creamy for me.

Absolute Essential!

As someone who has an unhealthy obsession with lipstick I can safely say that it is essential for every beauty addict to have at least one GC lipstick in their collection.

From the super creamy formula to the sleek gold bullet packaging there is nothing to not love about these lipsticks. The pigmentation on these is amazing and even after one swatch the colour is vibrant and gorgeous.

I love that there is such a wide variety of shades and the quality does not falter at all from shade to shade.

Of the colours I own I would have to say my favourite is Berry Smoothie. Just as the name suggests it is a berry tone and is super wearable whilst also being a bit on the daring side. LOVE. 1995 would definitely be a close second for the top spot in my eyes.

Tips: Keep an eye out on their Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook. They always have coupon codes which save you a LOT of money and make the deal even sweeter.
