Hi ladies!
Today I'll be sharing swatches of the Gerard Cosmetics lipgloss & lipsticks that I own. I bought these about 5 or so months ago & have been using them regularly since. I ordered them off of the official Gerard Cosmetics website, and was not charged customs either. They arrived as you see them in the image below, with no boxes ect, and if I remember correctly, just had bubble wrap around them for protection whilst in the post.
I really like the packaging on both the lipglosses and lipsticks! Their plastic, but do not look or feel cheap or tacky.
I love love loveeee the gold packaging on the lipsticks! It's so beautiful an elegant looking. The shape an size of the lipsticks are extremely similar to the Mac lipsticks.
I own 3 lipsticks and I bought them in the following shades...
I'm really happy with the 3 lipsticks I bought. Their everyday wearable shades so won't be sitting in my stash only for the summer or winter times! So I can use them no matter what the season!
The only issue I have with these is that I found they don't really glide onto the lips effortlessly like some Mac lipsticks do for example. I find that I really have to work hard to transfer the actual colour that appears on the tube onto my lips. Their not really creamy during application. However once I have applied the lipstick onto my lips it is creamy enough to rub my lips together... If that makes any sense at all. I love the colours, especially 1995 which was made with the Kylie Jenner lip craze in mind, so I really don't mind working a little extra hard for the application to get the colour onto my lips. This doesn't mean however that their sheer, the colours are opaque an true to their colours in the tube, but just not as easy to apply. They're all matte which is my favourite type of lipstick. Below are both arm and lip swatches to give you girls a better idea of what they look like on. Just for reference, I am an NC35 in Mac.

I own 5 lipglossss which I bought in a bundle, so it worked out cheaper rather then buying them individually.
Here are the colours I own..
These lipglosses are great! Their super opaque, so the actual colour you see in the tube is exactly what will apply onto the lips, and easy to apply. They have a slight stickiness to them, however it's nothing majorly overpowering so doesn't bother me at all.

I love all these colours an have shades that I can wear in different seasons throughout the year! As you can see from both the top and bottom picture. Their super opaque, with the colour transferring bright and bold from just one swipe! Their all such stunning colours!
Another extra touch added to the lipglosses is that they all have a mirror on the sides of the tube and a light!! Yes an actual light that lights up every time you open the lid.
I think this is a super cute touch an makes these lipglosses stand out from the normal standard glosses you get! The mirror is so handy when your on the go and don't have room to carry I mirror if you have a small clutch. The light also means that when your out an it's dark you won't be applying gloss all over your lip area! You'll still be able to see where to apply neatly with the help of both light an mirror.
Overall I really like these glosses and lipsticks. Their affordable an Gerard Cosmetics always have bundle offers on so you can buy a few an it works out cheaper. There are also loads of discount codes available from beauty bloggers and youtubers which is great as your saving a few quid. I spent about £45 on all of these products together, which is pretty decent for 8 things.
PS. I apologise for my terrible lip swatches, its my first time doing swatches on the lips and I have no idea what I was doing lol, so forgive me, but i did try! Hope they all helped in making your minds up ladies!
