Hey there!
I mentioned that when Gerard Cosmetics had their $39 special for
4 lippies plus free shipping, I jumped on it. You can't get a better deal than
that! For lip glosses I got Cocoa Bean and Plum Crazy. For lipsticks I bought
Nude and 1995. I thought that these colors would be pretty basic and work out
well for me.
I am in the process of returning them. Yes. I said it. I hated
them.
Well, not hated. 1995 was a decent lipstick. It was ok. The
color was fine once you put a balm on (preferably before). I could have worked
with that lipstick and not thought too much about it. But, the other lipstick,
Nude, well, that was a chalk color. I mean, it was a pink chalk color but still
a chalk color. It was void of anything that would make it nice on my lips. I
knew after one application that it was going to a friend -- a very PALE friend.
Still, that would have been ok.

The lip glosses were not my friends. They are thick and not
hydrating at all. They are long wearing for a lip gloss but I couldn't stand
them. They weren't comfortable on my lips.
And the colors... Cocoa Bean was a blah brown color. I expected
that. I used a red lip liner under it to bring out some color (it didn't work).
It was ok. But, Gerard Cosmetics is plum crazy if they think Plum Crazy is a
plum color. Mine was slightly lighter than the Cocoa Bean. I mean there was
NOTHING plum about it. That was not ok.
After trying on the Plum Crazy lip gloss, I instantly took it
off and began the return process. 3 just okay's and 1 hell naw means I need a
refund of some kind. I was just not a fan.
Have any of you tried Gerard Cosmetics? Where you a fan?
Honestly, I've only seen YouTubers that liked it. Are there any non YouTubers
out there that like it? What colors did you pick?
Thanks for your honest opinion. I recently ordered Rodeo Drive Lipstick along with Rose Hill lipgloss and disliked both but did not return them. I figured I can make them work.. I deciced to give GC another chance since I chose colors that didn't complement my darker skintone. They weren't completely bad, just not what I expected and not my preference. I went and ordered two more, 1995 lipstick and Cocoa Bean lipgloss. I like the lipstick but like you said Cocoa Bean is a "blah brown" color. Nothing at all the pinky-brown mlbb shade I thought it would be. It looks horrible. I'm hoping they'll let me return just the lipgloss since it came as part of a combo (2 for $20).
