The Review: Gerard Cosmetics Hydra Matte Liquid Lipstick

Ah so I am totally a gloss girl when it comes to lip products but I have been intrigued by wearing more of a matte lip since I purchased MAC's 'Kinda Sexy' lipstick.

I was so GLAD when I found out Gerard Cosmetics was stocked online in the UK so when I was home in December I jumped at the chance of ordering a few products. I ordered  2 GC Liquid Lipsticks and 2 sets of Morphe Lashes along with 2 hair products too from Beauty Bay. I opted for  Next Day Delivery and it came bang on time so well done Beauty Bay!

The Background: If I am being completely honest I hadn't heard of Gerard Cosmetics until I saw a few makeup posts on Instagram and I fell in love with the look of the highligher 'Marylin'. However I didn't really look into purchasing at the time as I had already been using a few highlighters. But then more recently I was in Sephora Dubai, the weekend ABH launched her products, especially her liquid lipsticks. Now I'd read a few mixed reviews on how great the colour payoff is with some and then how drying others can be so I only picked up one 'Sweet Talker' which I actually wore today and love - not drying at all! Anyways, I was on Instagram again and saw a few posts of the GC matte liquid lipstick and knew I had to try one out!

The Review:  Okay so I am reviewing this after wearing both shades a few times now and I have to say I LOVE them. They come in a frosted packaging with a gold top with the shade labelled at the bottom. I picked 'Ballet Slipper' which is a cool toned pink and 'Serenity' which is a brown based pink for a more 'No makeup look'. I have worn 'Ballet Slipper' more and that's only because I have been wanting to wear more of a pink toned makeup look and so far so good. Also I seem to have only taken pics with me wearing 'Ballet Slipper' so I am afraid they'll have to do until I decide to wear 'Serenity' again :P

In terms of the application they are so smooth and silky. They glide on so beautifully. I usually apply 2 coats and I find that sufficient enough. They last so well too. I ate and drank water and the colour was still on my lips. The colour payoff is amazing and I really rate these products more so because they are so not drying at all. I really want to try out some more colours as well as more of GC's products too.

The Verdict: I am definitely without a doubt giving GC Hydra Matte Liquid Lipstick 10/10. They come in SO many shades which I want! They apply so nicely and evenly and what's better is that they last and really do hydrate the lips.  They're actually the only lip product I proudly own that actually hydrates and does not dry out your lips. So well done Gerard Cosmetics!

I hope you enjoyed reading.
