My most recent splurge was on the 1995 lipstick created by makeup artist Jaclyn Hill for Gerard Cosmetics. Kylie Jenner's lipcolor is the hottest thing in makeup right now, paying homage to the 90's grunge era; funny that she's now trademarking this look considering she wasn't even born until the late 90's haha. There are so many different combinations of lip liners and lipsticks that are rumored to create Jenner's exact look, so Hill decided to create one of her own. And I think she did a pretty good job at it!
1995 is a super matte and opaque formula, and is suitable for long wear. I would suggest applying 2 coats for maximum opaqueness. It does feel a little dry on your lips, but exfoliating your lips with a scrub (see my post about bliss's fabulips) before hand and then applying a lip balm as a base should do the trick. Unfortunately, this lipstick isn't smudge proof, but then again most lipsticks aren't. For the most part, this lipstick really hits the nail on the head when comparing it to Jennner's lip color, it is dark mauve brown color. Jenner's is a little more pink as opposed to brown but regardless this color is spot on for fall! This color also goes amazingly with the eyeshadows from the Tamanna Palette (see previous post) by Anastasia Beverly Hills. Below I've created a perfect fall look by using both!
I also purchased the Cocoa Bean Lip gloss since they were doing a "1 lipstick & 1 lipgloss for $25" deal, and the butter cream lipgloss (I bought two of 1995 because she loved the color too haha). This lipgloss is tailor made to go with cocoa bean; it complements it perfectly! It's a beautiful warm shade whose color really lives up to its name. Butter cream is a pink, which looks a little brighter once it's on your lips. Regardless, both of these glosses are smooth to go on and an has just a slight amount of tackiness. The best thing is, is that once you open up the lipglosses, the underside of the cap lights up. It's such a cute feature, but it's hard to see where you're actually applying the gloss haha. Overall their packing is super chic, what girl doesn't like gold? It's the color of royalty, and gerard cosmetics products are suited for such, which is why all the famous makeup artists swear by them. Amazing makeup + gold, how could you go wrong?
