Gerard Cosmetics + MannyMUA "Serenity" Collab

 "Serenity" Hydra Matte Review

 This Gerard Cosmetics Collab with Manny Gutierrez (MannyMUA733)

is pretty exciting, the fact that Manny, one of my fave Youtubers, 

has come this far as to collaborate with such a popular brand,

And be a part of their New Product Release - Hydra Mattes! 

(Currently available in 3 shades)

♥

"Serenity is a beautiful warm pink, with hints of brown, 
a very comfortable non-drying formula that feels as if there's nothing on your lips."
Named after Mannys childhood inspiration, Sailor Moon -
The Dorky school girl by day, Crime fighting Vixen by night, portrayed a powerful woman.

Where do I start with "Serenity"?

First, this is a new product from Gerard Cosmetics with a "Hydra-Matte" Formula

Opaque & Matte but with a comfortable burst of moisture, making this product ultra long-wearing!

There are currently 3 shades available

- Serenity, Warm Dusty Pink

- Aphrodite, Peachy Nude

- Mercury, Vibrant Orange

And last, check that new packaging! Gerard stepping up in the cosmetic game!

Frosted Glass tube, easy doe-foot applicator, golden lid & hello!?

Gerard Cosmetics has Boxes now?? 

The formula..Hydra-Matte?

This product blew my socks off, it's amazing quality for a liquid lipstick!

It lasts all day, eating, drinking, talking, it's still there!

It's so comfortable to wear for a matte finish, it really does feel like nothing on your lips.

Not Drying what so ever, maybe even slightly tacky to prevent that.

And the colour? Ugh I LOVE! 

It goes with most makeup looks perfectly with the hints of brown making this a very wearable pink!

Gerard Cosmetics Lipsticks!

A Lipstick Review... 

Gerard Cosmetics has really become popular in the last year,
starting with the original "Brow Bar to-go" & their lighted lipglosses, Jennifer Gerard has made 
this brand what it is today, and it continues to grow!
♥
I Love what it says on the site "Gerard Cosmetics was created with a pure passion & clear vision to offer every woman products that were the solution to everyday makeup blunders. Gerard Cosmetics is a line created for women by women who empower each other & strive to offer products that are luxurious, accessible & endlessly chic."

So I recently made an order from Gerardcosmetics.com for some lipsticks!
Let me just say, Gerard Cosmetics LOVES us! And offers us so many amazing discount codes
through their social media sites, Instagram, Facebook etc, (some listed below)
They also give some of our well known & fave Beauty Gurus, such as Jaclyn Hill, Shaaanxo, Sophia Chang & MannyMua, codes to share with us!
♥
Speaking of Jaclyn Hill! This guru has collaborated with this amazing brand to give us two Beautiful Lipsticks - "1995" Inspired by Kylie Jenners 90's Grunge Glam, and "Buttercup" described as the perfect everyday pinky nude,
Which Jaclyn then designed two lighted lip glosses to pair with these colours
"Buttercream", a soft creamy pink & "Rose Hill",  a spring reddish berry shade
Another Guru, Sophia Chang (or Fashionista804 on Instagram) has collaborated to create the stunning Pale peachy pink "Kimchi Doll", which I recommend using with a Lip liner to avoid washing you out & changing up the colour every time!

Swatches:

(From Top to Bottom)

"Kimchi Doll" - by Sophia Chang, Pale peach pink nude, Creamy

"Tequila Sunrise" - Bright orange pink coral, Slightly Matte

"Buttercup" - Jaclyn Hill Collection, Cool toned pink nude, Creamy
"Nude" - A true neutral brown nude, Creamy
"1995" - Jaclyn Hill Collection, Dark pink brown nude, Slightly Matte
"Cherry Cordial" - Dark reddish purple plum, Creamy

Basically, all of these lipsticks have a creamy consistency, even the ones that are slightly matte,

still have a nice moisturising finish. I will admit, they take a few swipes to the lips 

to build the opaqueness, which I guess is nice, this means

you can alternate & make the colours as sheer or opaque as you like.
