I'm back again and with new products to talk about to you guys!
I'm talking about the new Hydra Mattes by Gerard Cosmetics for their
spring/summer collection. They released 4 colours though I was only
interested in two, 1995 and West Coast. 1995 is by far my favourite
lipstick from them so I was super excited to hear that they were
making a liquid lipstick version of it. West Coast first interested
me because of the name, and its the name of one of my favourite Lana
Del Rey songs, then I saw the colour and I was in love, from the
photos it looks like a very neon coral pink shade which I'm excited
to put to the test.
I'll start with West Coast, it is a very neon shade, so if that isn't something that you're into I would give this a pass. However if you don't mind a pop of colour, this shade is stunning. The Hydra Matte smells a lot like the Lime Crime Velvetines, which I don't mind. It's very light weight and has a very liquid-y consistency, not at all like the Ofra ones. It didn't dry immediately but it still dried down to complete matte. I do think that it's a lot more pink than it is coral but a lovely shade nonetheless.
As for 1995, I think they made a wonderful colour though it's not quite the same as the 1995 lipstick, it comes off a lot darker. Thought if you put the lipstick on top of the liquid lipstick, there is absolutely no difference to the liquid lipstick on its own. I think that they did a wonderful job in making this shade and it was definitely a great idea from a business stand point, but it is darker than the actual 1995 lipstick.
Other than that I have nothing bad to say, shipping time wasn't
horrible seeing as it was coming from America. I think the shades are
wonderful and I'll definitely be getting a lot of use out of 1995
this Winter here in Australia.
