Gerard Cosmetics Long Wear Hydra Matte Liquid Lipstick Review!

Gerard cosmetics makes some of my favorite lipsticks, and lip glosses, so when they came out with these liquid lipsticks I knew they were going to be good. Well they are more than good, they are awesome! I really can't rave these enough and they always come up with great promotions so I always wait for that before I buy anything. 

These liquid lipsticks are amazing, I completely over looked the "hydra" part but as soon as I applied it I felt the difference. They are hydrating and matte at the same time which is a plus! The colors are absolutely beautiful, wearable and long lasting. Make sure to follow Gerard Cosmetics on Instagram so you can catch their promotion codes and save some mula and if you don't already, follow me too!

Whats In My Makeup Bag

I must admit that I had completely forgotten how nearly impossible it is to find time to do my makeup with a newborn. I can't remember the last time I was able to sit on my makeup station and do my face, what I'm left with is (if husband is driving) to do my makeup in the car. The lack of time also meant that I had to find products that don't need much blending to go on perfectly and this is what I narrowed it down to.....

Mac Studio Fix powder Foundation in NC42: This is honestly my favorite (and only) powder foundation I have used. Its long wearing and matches my skin perfectly.

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer: This is one of the best concealers for dark circles with minimal creasing and long wearing. Plus the applicator works great for on the go.

Benefit They're real mascara: Works great at giving my lashes extra volume

Anastasia Beverly Hills Highlighting Duo Pencil And Tweezers: The highlighting pencil is my go to to highlight underneath my brow bone and help my brows look more define,, and the tweezers are by far THE best ones I have ever used.

Tom Ford Lipstick in spanish pink and Chanel lipliner in #68 is my go to lip colors and this Victorias Secret lipgloss tastes delicious!

It Cosmetics  Universal Eyebrow Pencil: I love this pencil because it goes on so smoothly and blends so natural with my brow hair, It doesn't give that obvious painted eyebrow look.  

Doll 10 Hydragel Cream Blush gives me the most flattering flush to my cheeks and I also use it on my lips as a tint sometimes.

House Of Lashes Glue: In case I need to apply lashes on the go, I keep this baby in my bag. This is by far the BEST eyelash glue I have used and the only one that doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes.

My First Impressions/ Mi Primera Impresion: Gerard Cosmetics

 I can't tell you how many times I had a cart filled with Gerard Cosmetics products and for whatever reason I never finalized the purchase. I recently started creating wishlists and these were next on the list. My first impression was pure happiness because the packaging is SOOO gorgeous and they are GOLD!! The actual product is absolutely beautiful and all the rave I have seen is well worth it, the pigmentation is great and long lasting. I also purchased the BB Plus illuminating facial cream and its a great product and very versatile it can be used with my foundation for a gorgeous glow or on top to highlight. 

No les puedo decir las veces que intente comprar estos labiales y por una razón o otra nunca los compre. Empece hacer listas de las cosas que quiero comprar y por fin compre estas bellezas. Mi primer impresión fue pura alegría al ver lo hermoso que es el empaque y en color oro! El producto en  es fenomal aplica parejo y los colores son preciosos. También compre crema iluminadora y me encanta puedo usarla mezclada con mi base para un brillo leve o arriba de mi base para un highlight mas intenso. Definitivamente fue una buena compra!

I can't believe how long it took me to finally order these babies and find out for my self what all the hype was about! Well I LOVE them and they truly are sooo beautiful and long lasting and just so pigmented. The only negative for me is the applicator, this is not the type of lip stain that I would recommend anyone to apply on the go as this could lead to un-even lines and or looking like a clown ;) With that being said it does give you some time before it dries where you could clean out the edges and make it looks a even ad perfect as possible. I wore it on Christmas day and I drank talked, ate kissed and hugged away and by the end of the day I couldn't believe I still had some on! Have you tried these yet? 

No puedo creer cuánto tardé en finalmente ordenar a estos bebés y averiguar por mi mismo de que se trataba toda la algarabía. Bueno me encantan y realmente son tan hermosa y duradera y muy pigmentadas. El aplicador es el único negativo para mí, esto no es el tipo de mancha de labio que le recomendaría a nadie que se aplican sobre la marcha ya que podría producirse líneas o terminar mirando como un payaso ;) Con dicho te da algún tiempo antes de que se seca donde usted puede limpiar los bordes y hacerlo perfecto como sea posible. Lo llevaba el día de Navidad y bebí  hable, comí, bese y abrazós  y al final del día todavía tenía color puesto en mis labios! ¿Y tu lo has probado?
