Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick Review

Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick Review

I recently took advantage of the "AMAZING" discount at Gerard Cosmetics right now and I got all five of their lipsticks.

The price is $19.99 American.

Packaging: Gorgeous slick gold containers and the name stickers on the bottom are gold as well. Not sure why that would matter but for me it was a point scored. So these are very cute and look nice in your make up case, but the containers are a thinner plastic and they have that, wierd plastic container sound? Am I odd? I may be the only person on the planet who noticed this, but.. it is what it is.

The Colours!

Nude: This is a beauitful nude! A brown base makes this really nice on anyone, dark or light complextion.

1995: Gorgeous! It is the name. Put it on and was right back to junior high day dreaming in the cosmetic line about these types of shades, and still not being "old enough" for dark shades. Anyway.... This is a rich, red/brown shade. Really nice choice if you are afraid of stepping out in a red or berry shade. Or if the idea of wearing a brown lipstick reminds you of looking like you just slaughtered a bag or hersey's kisses.

Fire Engine: The name says it all. Bright stronger cool toned red shade. Good pigmentation.

Tequila Sunrise: Gorgeous warm toned Coral shade. Heavier on the orange/peachy base then pink. Really nice especially if you have a more olive skin tone, or a rich tan. I love coral lips and am relaly looking forward to breaking this one out for a lot of use come Spring.

All Dolled Up: Bright true Hot Pink. This colour is INTENSE! Completely cool toned and very fluid colour. No streakiness.

These lipsticks have a rich formula and apply nicely. I haven't worn all the shades yet, but yesterday I wore 1995 for about 6 hours out to dinner and it lasted all night. A bit of fading and there was transfer when smooching or touching my lips but I was pleased to not have to check my teeth constently or see that lipstick ring on the glasses or utensils. The colour looked great all night. The only issue I had was this morning my lips were very very dry and chapped. Which is unusally as I use a good lip moisturer in the evenings. Needless to say I will have to wear this brand a few more times to pin point if the formulation was the cause or perhaps the weather, dry indoor heat etc was to blame.
