Gerard Cosmetics

14th April 2016

I want to share with you my latest Beauty Haul, I ordered a couple of the New Hydra matte liquid lipstick shades and a couple of glosses from Gerard cosmetics!!

I came across this brand a couple of years ago on Instagram and fell in love with the look of their products, everyone was raving about the lipsticks and glosses and the packaging is to die for, I mean who doesn’t love gold? I saw those lipsticks and thought how amazing they would look on my vanity! One of the many reasons I love this brand is the fact they have such amazing deals, as its American I like to save some money where I can on shipping etc and they are always doing great deals, I recently got 40% off and free international shipping so I couldn’t miss out on these New spring Hydra matte shades.

Right away I wanted 1995 as I already owned the matching lipstick and also Everything nice caught my eye, I do love my nudes! I had also been wanting to try out the glosses for a while so I finally gave in and got a couple, I kept seeing the lovely Amanda Ensing on YouTube wearing cocoa bean and plum crazy, she can seriously rock any lip colour and make them look gorgeous, so these were the ones I desperately wanted.

As it was around Easter weekend I ordered these they took about Two weeks to arrive and I had no custom charge yay!

Here is my complete GC collection

I had previously made a few orders (again when they had an offer on) I got some lipsticks, the BB plus illuminator, & I also got the star highlighter powders,  and the ecstasy hydra matte for Christmas off my boyfriend I’m so glad he understands my makeup addiction.

Underground, 1995, rodeo drive, buttercup, 1995, berry smoothie

I really like the lipsticks, they are a little drying as matte lipsticks can be, but Rodeo Drive, berry smoothie and buttercup are more of a satin/sheen type of lipstick so aren’t as drying on the lips. I love buttercup for the summer its a really nice nude and also 1995 is one of my favourite’s for autumn/winter.

Next up the Hydra mattes L-R  Ecstasy, 1995, everything nice

GC swatches 5

I really like the formula of these they aren’t drying at all and last a good few hours on me even when eating. plus they have a really nice shade selection. Everything nice and 1995 do look very similar they are both that brown type of nude, I would describe it as a spiced nude, and 1995 has that Mauve tone.

Now on to the lip glosses, I absolutely love the packaging on these, when you open them they have a light on the applicator and also a Mirror on the side so you can apply them easily if you are out and about, its such a cool idea. These are very pigmented and not too sticky like glosses can be.

 Again these do look very similar but look different on the lips, cocoa bean is more brown and plum crazy lives up to the name, It has the plum/purple tones.

I think this BB illuminator was one of the first items I purchased, I had see some swatches going around on Instagram and loved the look of it, I’m obsessed with liquid highlighters I just love adding them to foundation and sometimes I prefer to wear just liquid highlighters rather than powders. The fact this is a BB cream is a bonus, it can be added to moisturisers or used as a primer it has lots of uses and it’s a gorgeous gold shade.

These star powders are the only things I’m not that keen on, I love the packaging with the mirror and plastic cap, but to me these aren’t highlighters, They are really powdery and just look chalky on the skin, the swatches I had seen online looked amazing but they just don’t show up on my skin, which is a disappointment. I have tried using them with MACs fix plus but it still doesn’t make any difference so I wont be purchasing any more of these in the future, if these had a better formula they could be amazing.

The shades I have are Audrey & Marilyn.

So that pretty much sums up my collection and review, I would really recommend the lip products and BB illuminator, they have also just launched scented makeup setting sprays that I’ve got my eye on next.

If you would like to purchase anything don’t forgot to check for any discount codes beforehand as they always have amazing offers.

My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmati My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmatian print wrapping paper 😭 this could have been my present alone and I would have been thrilled! Love how it goes with my Dalmatian baubles 🤩 he knows me so well 🎁 🖤and it’s completely recyclable 👌🏼♻️
Just the presents to put under the tree, the annua Just the presents to put under the tree, the annual Christmas Eve clean up, set up the Christmas Day table and get myself sorted and pampered and we are all ready!! Can’t wait to just chill for a few days as Christmas always goes so quick doesn’t it. I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
