Maybelline SuperStay 24H Lipstick Review

A 24H stay lipstick is something that every woman is looking for. Who doesn't want to not to worry while you are at a restaurant or even a night out?
I bought my first Maybelline 24H SuperStay Lipstick a couple of weeks ago that I shared in the post, but only recently I gave it a go and I am definitely impressed.
I went for a classic red as I had none and if you are to buy a red lipstick, you better buy one that stays for 24H. And this one does. Double ended, one side with the liquid lipstick and the other side with the ultra-conditioning balm. Beautiful formula, color and durability.


The application is quite easy, using the brush that comes with this liquid lipstick. You can get to every corner quite easily. Also, even though it feels quite drying on the lips, that instantly changes when you apply the balm. That second step is essential and leaves your lips extra soft and you can reapply it as needed. It almost feels like I am wearing no lipstick at all as I don't even have to worry about it.
I love the formula of this liquid lipstick and the way it stays on no matter what! I am obsessed! And when I go back to the UK next week , I will definitely buy and every day color. A pink or something like that. Any advise? You can get it at boots from £6.99 to £8.99 depending on the colors and formulas that you choose.

Have you ever tried this lipstick? Let me know!

Candy Kiss & Plum Crazy by Gerard Cosmetics | Review and Swatches

Gerard Cosmetics Lipgloss

Hello lovelies!

As you might know if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, I ordered two Gerard Cosmetics Lip Glosses and I could not wait any longer to come here and share with you my opinion!
I ordered them on the 26th of April and they were delivered on the 11th of May so I must say that I was pretty impressed as they said that it could take up to 40 days for delivery. 
I ordered a lip gloss duo (Candy Kiss & Plum Crazy) using the discount code ShannonDuo and it only cost me £13! No postage fee or anything was added. So for two lip glosses I would said it is a pretty good price. 

Gerard Cosmetics Lipgloss Candy Kiss

This is Candy Kiss, the one I was most excited for! I loved how it look in so many YouTubers. It is such a pretty pink nude that I had to get it. I must say that it doesn't suit me as I have very pale skin and the lip gloss itself is a light pink. Anyways, I made it work applying first a pink lipstick (I chose L'oreal Color Riche 371) and it looked amazing. Beautiful shine and I love that it is not too sticky because I just can't deal with that! And it lasts for so long, even after eating an ice cream.

This is how it looks, stunning right?

The second one is Plum Crazy. I was not sure about this one as it was more like a brown shade and I am not really into those but I decided to just risk it and give it a go as it looked pretty amazing in many photos that I seen on Pinterest. And I am glad I did because I love it.

Gerard Cosmetics Lipgloss Plum Crazy

I am all into dark lipsticks during autumn/winter and I know that I will rock this lip gloss so much during that season!
I wore it a couple of days ago just the lip gloss itself  with a plum make up too as it was a pretty dark day and I was in the mood and this is how it turned out.

It is a bit darker that what it shows in these photos but it is stunning any ways. Again, very pigmented, amazing consistency, easy to apply and it lasts for a long time.

Gerard Cosmetics Lipgloss Swacth

This is just a swatch of both of them as I noticed that the other photos didn't make them justice. As you can tell, Plum Crazy is much darker than it shows but still, it is a lovely color. And Candy Kiss is pretty light and I would said that it would suit you if you are pale like me but you can make it work with some pink lipsticks and it looks amazing! It gives that beautiful shine and makes your lips look fuller as well.

I do not regret buying them and I will for sure purchase more items from Gerard Cosmetics as they are very affordable (specially if you get discount codes like this one ahah) and amazing quality. Also, the delivery is pretty good it does not take as long as you would imagine and the staff is very helpful and they answer your doubts in a short period of time.

I absolutely advise you to give them a go, you won't want any other lip gloss in your life. I am now thinking about ordering some lipsticks as I am an addict and I know that they will look amazing in my very small but loved lipstick collection!
