Hi beauties! So I purchased some lip products from Gerard Cosmetics and Anastasia Beverly Hills and I wanted to share my reviews on the products in case anybody is interested. I would also love to hear your opinions if you have used them :))
GERARD COSMETICS:
Ok so I'll start with this brand. I got the Cinco de Lip Gloss bundle, original price is $65, but they had a deal with 45% off and free shipping. I got it for $35.75. From order processing to me receiving my package it took 9 days (including weekend)... No problems there.
Now the products themselves: I searched the lip glosses below. (L to R: plum crazy, nude, cocoa bean, seduction, and Madison Ave.) as the swatches show these glosses are super pigmented. They are definitely not drying but a tad bit sticky but nothing too bad. They go on super smooth :) the packaging is cute, nothing fancy. Each gloss comes with a small mirror to use when applying, and it has a light on the inside of the top which is pretty cool. Overall, I really like the glosses. They are pricey but there are so many coupon codes out there. Personally, I wouldn't pay full price for the glosses. But if you can get a good deal I recommend them ;)

Has anybody else tried them?

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS:
Ok so I only got 2 products from ABH, Vintage lip gloss and Veronica liquid lipstick. Liquid lipsticks are $20 and glosses are $16. I absolutely loved the gloss, it was super hydrating and not sticky at all. The color is not as pigmented as GC but I don't mind I'll be using it over lipsticks. And the liquid lipstick is very smooth and easy to apply. It glides on so easily and not as drying as I thought it would be. It does dry to matte. The shade itself is very similar to KVD Lolita liquid lipstick when swatches on my hand but in the lips Veronica is definitely more Mauvey on lips, while Lolita leans more on the brown side. I would also have to admit that KVD is a little more drying than Veronica. I really like it and I plan on getting more shades :) (Spicy looks beautiful)
Below I searched the lip pies and added KVD Lolita at the end for comparison

Veronica is right up my alley I don't own any of Abh lip products but Veronica would be first on my list such a pretty color.

I also like the veronica shade :-) what's the wear time like for the Abh gloss and liquid lipstick?

@Rebecca for the Liquid lipstick I used it for about 4hrs and it did not budge or need to reapply. But I think it would definitely wear longer... As for the gloss it wore about 2-3 hrs without eating.
