NEW GERARD METAL MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICK REVIEW

03:16:00

Hello angels,

I have been pretty much irregular in posting lot of things are going on and I hopefully can try and post three times a week. Recently I ordered Gerard Metal Matte Liquid Lipstick from beautybay and it was amazing experience. The shipping was free for me. So as Christmas is around there has been a sudden change in trend like glitter lips metallic sparkling lips etc.. I personally don’t like metallic because they can’t be used except for parties and occasions like Christmas. But I also wanted to try them as it’s all over the Instagram and youtube. Almost every brand is coming up with their own metallic sparkling lipsticks.

I picked up two shades Dream Weaver and Cherry Bomb.

Cherry bomb is bright metallic red lipstick with hint of golden glitter. This shade just reminds me of holiday Christmas parties.

Dream weaver is metallic rose gold shade with some champagne glitter in it. It goes well on very limited skin tones. It didn’t look well on my skin tone. Its goes completely nude on my lips so I think of mixing it with some other lipstick shade to give more hint of color to lips.

This lipsticks are so so pigmented and they just glide effortlessly on lips. They are opaque and both shades give almost a complete coverage to lips. The formula is non drying and gives excellent color pay off.

They come in frosty round gloss tube with golden cap and doe foot applicator.

Dream weaver looks amazing when you put them on some other lipstick it gives a perfect lips for party look.

They have 6 shades and all are gorgeous for this season.

Once the lipstick sets off they are non transferrable also they are soft and smooth on application. It gives me a feeling of mousse very light and comfortable texture. The shimmers are perfect for giving a metallic sheen. Also they are easy to remove with makeup remover most of the glitter comes off the lips. Also they are waterproof difficult to take them off with just water.

Overall recommended. The texture formula is good it doesn’t give patchy application doesn’t bleed or smudge. Stays for 7 hrs even after drinking eating which is pretty good. Really great colors for festive season.

GERARD COSMETIC BROW BAR TO GO REVIEW

00:55:00

Hola angels,

We all need that perfectly arched eyebrows. I am not blessed with thick eyebrows and for that reason i need my eyebrow kit every single day. When i first started using eyebrow powders i wasn't sure that some day it will be my most essential part of makeup routine well now is a day where I cant step out of my home without grooming my brows perfectly. There has been lot of thing i learned about eyebrows through past years and now i feel eyebrows can make a whole lot of difference it can completely change the way you look. As there are many brow products available in the market it becomes really difficult to choose the perfect one.

So here I am going to review one of the best eyebrow kits I have came across its BROW BAR TO GO from one of my favorite brands GERARD cosmetics. I have heard a lot about this eyebrow kit from youtube makeup gurus to bloggers and finally I got to try them.

This brow kit comes in two shades BLONDE TO BRUNETTE AND MEDIUM TO EBONY I have the one in MEDIUM to EBONY which contains two highly pigmented brow powder along with brow wax. You can use this kit for neutral eye look too or for contouring.

This kit comes in black packaging with a small size mirror inside and a small angular brush which makes this kit complete for traveling.

It has two shades one with medium brown having red tones and other one being darker shade of brown with cool tones. The shades in this kit are perfect for my brows as I go for medium brown more for natural looking day to day look and darker one for having more bold and dramatic look. I like using both the colors it depends on how you want your eyebrows to look. the clear wax really helps my eyebrows to stay in place for whole day. I first use this angular brush to apply wax on brows so that the hair remains in it place. And then I fill in my brows with the powder. Making sure its not over done I always go light handed first. And then if needed I add more to it. Powders are highly pigmented and easily blendable you need very little to work with. This shade can work with almost all skin tones having brown to black hair.

Overall recommended I have tried many brow kits and this one definitely is one of the quickest fix for my morning. I love my all eyebrow kits but sometimes the shades of powder differs and that makes a lot of difference. Any eye makeup without proper eyebrows will give you an incomplete look. I would suggest even if you have a thick well arched brows try using wax or brow gel to keep the hair at its place. Every girl out there should have a eyebrow kit its really basic but will make a lot of difference once you start using it. If you tell me to choose only one makeup product then it would be my brow kit. On lazy days I can have a bare skin with just a lip balm and a perfectly arched eyebrows. Have you tried BROW BAR TO GO its easily available. Do follow them on Instagram to know more about their offers.
TIP- If you have thick black hair than don't go for dark powders to match them instead go for some medium to deep brown for more natural looking eyebrows.

GERARD COSMETICS NEW HYDRA MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICK REVIEW

03:33:00

L-R BALLET SLIPPER, SERENITY, CHER

Hello beauties,

I am so excited finally after almost 20-25 days I received my parcel from GERARD cosmetics. I had ordered this New Hydra Matte liquid lipstick. This lipsticks are so popular all over Instagram that I wanted them so badly. I think almost every single makeup company have liquid matte lipstick range and so does GERARD COSMETICS have also introduced this range. Gerard cosmetic is known for their lipsticks. Liquid lipsticks can be bit tricky to apply so you need to have right formula and texture to make it more comfortable on lips. Lets talk about this Hydra Matte Lipsticks packaging. They never use to have this box packaging so packaging wise they have improved a lot this lipsticks come In matte frosted glass tubes with gold metallic cap. They are similar to any other gloss tubes. I have got three shades which are SERENITY, BALLET SLIPPER & CHER.

The hydra mattes are liquidy and they apply evenly on lips. This lipstick take some time to dry completely. Once it sets in it gives a complete matte finish almost like a powdery matte finish. They don’t feel tacky on lips the texture is smooth and feels feather light on lips. They are not drying as most of liquid lipsticks tend to feel. Hydra mattes are quite comfortable and I feel they have a very thin watery consistency which helps in keeping it extremely light. This lipsticks are transfer proof and they are quite long lasting. Even with meals in between it lasted on my lips for whole day. Pigmentation is excellent. A shade like ballet slipper was lacking that opacity and was not able to give me complete coverage while serenity and CHER were completely opaque in just one swipe. You can build the color but only after the first application gets dry. They do accentuate fine lines on lips but thats common with almost every matte liquid lipsticks. They don’t budge or smudge as they turn out to be completely matte. It doesn't stain and easily comes of with makeup remover. It’s a waterproof lipstick so don’t try and remove with water. Do exfoliate and moisturise your lips before application. It claims to give hydration to lips which seems to be not so true.

Overall recommended if you are looking for good matte liquid lipsticks having really great formula and texture. I am not new to this brand I have been using GERARD cosmetics lipsticks for quite a time and they have good quality and shade range. This shades are quite different and unique from other brands. They retail for 20$ each which may seem bit expensive but they do have different discount codes and bundles with free shipping. I forgot about how they smell ..it smells delicious almost feels like having some cupcakes. So girls if you really like something matte and liquidy you can try them on.

Serenity- It’s a warm nude shade having hint of pink and brown. This is one of my favorite among all other shades. It will go on fair to medium skin tones like a everyday color.

Ballet Slipper – It’s a perfect like some pink ballerinas. Its a elegant pink which can look gorgeous on every day basis. It doesn’t give even application like serenity though you can use you fingers to spread evenly. Again this shade may go well on fair, tanned to dusky skin tones.

Cher- CHER is 90's color Rosy brown shade. This is something I have never tried and I never had such shade and I loved it. You can really experiment with this shade. It can work on many skin tones
