My thoughts on GERARD HYDRA MATTE LISPTICKS SERENITY & APHROIDTE
I ordered Serenity from the bundle and Aphrodite separately. Aphrodite is the color I have always been looking for, peach-ish orange but great for everyday wear. Absolutely love the colors and how smoothly they apply but my concern is that they don’t last as well as long lasting lipstick should and that’s the reason why they lose all the score. Had it been long lasting I would have given it 5/5 because the colors, the pigmentation and everything is awesome. The name represents exactly what they are. They are non-drying and hydrating matte lipsticks but it would have been awesome if they were a little long lasting too. Overall I am really happy with the colors and performance and I am preparing my next list which contains some more of the shades such as cher, ecstacy and some more.
