BEAUTY REVIEW || Gerard Cosmetics Lipsticks

“ Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do. ”

Hey y’all,

Welcome back to my blog! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.

Today, I will be reviewing lipsticks from an online cosmetic company called “Gerard Cosmetics”. Many of you may be familiar with the brand if you watch YouTube beauty gurus. Gerard Cosmetics was introduced to me by the amazing and beautiful Jaclyn Hill, who is one of my favorite YouTubers! She is currently collaborated with the company to create her own line of makeup called the "Jaclyn Hill Collection", which consists of lipsticks and lip glosses. Gerard Cosmetics has recently collaborated with other YouTube beauty gurus such as Shannon Harris (Shaaanxo) - Candy Kiss Lip Gloss, Missy Lynn - Cocoa Bean Lip Gloss, as well as Sophia Chang (fashionista804) - Kimchi Doll Lipstick. It is amazing to see how the company has allowed people on YouTube to create their own lip color because they have made an impact in the makeup industry.

I decided to give these lipsticks a shot because I have heard such amazing things about them.

The packing is absolutely gorgeous, but you can easily see your fingerprints on the lipstick tube. The design of the tube is also exactly like MAC's lipsticks.

Here are the lipstick colors that I decided to get: Cherry Cordial, 1995, and Rodeo Drive.

1. Cherry Cordial

 

An absolute gorgeous vampy-red, which I am obsessed with during the fall and winter seasons. I know we're just getting into the summer season, but I cannot neglect my dark reds! I find this color to be quite similar to MAC's Media but this color has more brown undertones, whereas Media has more purple undertones. Cherry Cordial is a dark red with brown tones to it, which would be perfect for the cooler seasons. I am definitely excited to wear this color in the upcoming fall season!

2. 1995

 

"1995" was probably the most anticipated color that I wanted to try from Gerard Cosmetics. One day, I was watching Jaclyn Hill and I was so excited when she announced that she had created a lipstick inspired by Kylie Jenner. I was constantly looking for a nude-brown shade that would suit my skin tone because I fell in love with the trend. I immediately added "1995" to my cart because Jaclyn Hill wore so beautifully! I would say this shade is a "my lips but better" shade. I naturally have a brown-pink tone lip color, so this shade enhances them so well. I have not gotten the chance to wear this shade a ton because it is currently spring, but "1995" will definitely come in handy when summer passes, and the fall season arises. I would say this is the perfect brown-nude shade, so I would recommend it if you are wanting that Kylie Jenner lip color.


3. Rodeo Drive

 

I am the most impressed with this shade because I did not think I would love this shade so much. "Rodeo Drive" is a mauve-pink with cool undertones. I think it is perfect for the spring and summer seasons because it is adds a pop of color in my everyday makeup. I also got so many compliments at work from my co-workers when I first wore this shade. It is such a gorgeous shade that would work for so many skin tones. So would I recommend "Rodeo Drive"? I definitely would because I do not have anything like this color in my lip collection.

So that concludes my blog review on Gerard Cosmetics. I would love to add more lippies into my collection because I love the consistency of the lipsticks! They are so creamy and opaque, which I would consider to be a great quality of lipstick. There are also always coupon codes on YouTube, which will help save a ton of $$.

Thanks for taking your time to read my review and stay tuned for more posts :)

Lots of love,
