Gerard Cosmetics Review

So first impression of these lippies is the packaging!!! Its everythingggggggg!!! As some of you may know I am a gold fanaticccc!! The packaging looks so luxurious, I'm in love. There is a wide range of colors as you can see in the photos. Gorgeous pinks, sexy nudes, spicy reds and some in between colors. As far as coverage goes, it's the right amount of pigment. They can be worn with or without lipstick. Personally I would apply them over a lipstick because I like the intensity. They don't feel sticky like most glosses do. They come with a mirror on the outside, which is super convenient for someone who doesn't carry a mirror in their bag. When you unwind the top there is little flash lights to help you see while applying the product. They're not only pretty to look at it, but they're super convenient to use. With the addition of the flash lights and mirror your application will be much easier. Now lets jump into lipsticks. I almost don't even want to use them because they're so beautiful, like I said the packaging completely won me over. If I had to describe the finish its kind of like Mac's Satin/Matte. What's good about them is they dry matte but still have moisture, so they won't leave your lips feeling cakey. They're super pigmented and the color selection is gorgeous. As far as the price goes, Lipgloss $24 and Lipstick $19. Will list swatches down below :)

Fall Vibes....

As you all know Fall is approaching, and it's actually one of my favorite seasons. There's just something about it I enjoy, makes me feel happy. I also love fall fashion especially (leather jackets, boots, hats etc). But what I really wanted to discuss was makeup duhhh lol. I'm all about a dark vampy lip. It pretty much goes with anything and it gives you edge. I typically pair a dark lip with warm eye shadow tones to compliment the look. I want to go over some of my favorite deep lip shades and give you guys options for the upcoming season. Feel free to suggest others I didn't list, I'm always on a hunt for new makeup :) I included lipsticks, lip pencils, a gloss and some liquid lipsticks.

LIPSTICK
Mac "Diva" - One of my favorite shades of all time
Mac "Sin" - Very similar to Diva but slightly deeper
Wet N Wild "Sugar Plum Fairy" - Cant beat a $3 lipstick!
NYX "Melot" - Not as deep as the others but a more natural plum shade
Lorac "Dominatrix"- Love the intensity of the pigment

Diva, Sin, Sugar Plum Fairy, Merlot, Dominatrix



LIP PENCIL
Nars Jumbo "Train Bleu" - I loveee this product because you can actually substitute it for a lipstick
Mac "Nightmoth" - One of my go to's when applying deeper shades
Mac "Vino" - Also a great shade although its very similar to Nightmoth
Mac "Currant" - Love to mix this one with deeper reds
Makeup Forever Aqua Lip "12C" - Very smooth and rich in color

LIQUID LIPSTICK
Doseofcolors "Berry Me" - Super long lasting and an overall great shade
