Ofra Cosmetics X Manny MUA Collab

Swatches & Review

OMG guys another brand collaboration with Manny MUA? Three liquid lipsticks with 
Ofra Cosmetics
Manny is doing so well & slaying the beauty industry at the moment!
Three beautiful colours created by Manny & they're definitely shades he loves.
I managed to get all three of his liquid lipsticks the day they were released, & of course those babies sold out so fast! But they're back now & they're permanent with Ofra Cosmetics so we can all get our hands on them! Make sure you use code "MannyMUA" for 30% off your order :)

This is my first time trying an Ofra product so I picked up "Miami Fever" also, which is one of the collab shades with YouTuber Kathleen Lights, a unique burnt orange I LOVE!
So to start, let's talk about the formula of these liquid lipsticks..I'm a fan haha
Different compared to other liquid lipsticks, they don't dry to a non-tranferable matte & stay feeling tacky on the lips for a while, even a few hours but eventually dry down completely matte, yet still transfer when kiss tested on the back of my hand.. It's like a whipped formula very similar to NYX Creamy Mattes or Tarte Lip Paints, and smell sweet too like vanilla or cake!

The liquid lipsticks are $19.90usd each or $49.70usd for the set
Once you use Mannys 30% off code, it ends up around $35usd a set or $14usd each - Bargain!!

♥ Swatches 
Aries - Stunning Pinky Peach Nude, perfect for fairer skintones like myself, this is my fave of the three. It looks pretty with a golden eye look or something using Mannys MUG palette!
Charmed - The trending Mauvey Pink Brown Nude, a deeper midtone nude that suits just about anybody! This colour is super popular right now & is a great everyday neutral shade.
Hypno - A delicious deep Red with Brown undertones. This shade gives a sexy vampire vibe & it looks amazing with a strong winged liner on a night out.


I really like the formula, smell & how they apply. They last for HOURS & don't run & smear outside the lips, but be careful when eating because like I said above these do not dry non-transferable & will smudge if not careful. The applicator is a long firm doe foot & makes it easy to apply evenly. The only thing I noticed was Aries doesn't look as nice after a while like Charmed & Hypno do, it can start to look dry and crepey...throw some lip balm on top & you should be good to go!

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!
