Gerard Cosmetics Lip Gloss (formerly Whitening Lightning)

I had been wanting to get my hands on some Gerard Cosmetics lip glosses. I discovered them through watching beauty videos on YouTube. Part of the attraction is the unique packaging. I had also seen several recommendations and positive reviews. Recently I had the opportunity to get my hands on a few shades and try them out.


The glosses come in 23 beautiful shades. The colours that I chose were; sugar mama, coral craze, butter cream, rose hill and wild orchid. My favourites are butter cream and wild orchid. They glide on smoothly and have a very creamy texture with a slight tackiness for longer wear. The colours are pigmented and fairly opaque. The shade sugar mama was too light on its own, so I prefer to wear it over lip liner or lipstick. The glosses have a very pleasant taste and  fruity scent to them.



The packaging is part of the appeal as well. They are large with a light inside the lid and a mirror on the side. The mirror could've been clearer, but the light is fun. Overall, I was very pleased and would recommend the Gerard Cosmetics lip glosses for you to try! I'm looking forward to trying more shades and some of their lipsticks as well. There are often discount codes available to purchase them from their website. YouTuber Jaclyn Hill has collaborated to create her own shades, so her channel usually provides a discount code.
