Gerard Cosmetics Cherry Cordial

Mr. Pawlish and i went out to lunch at my favorite local restaurant today... Fuji, a Japanese hibachi. finding one is always at the top of the to-do list when move, it's been my favorite type of food since i was tiny :) i think i may have mentioned that before... it's just the best!

today i have another lipstick from Gerard Cosmetics to share... Cherry Cordial! (it's a press sample, kindly provided to me for review). i have reviewed Nude previously, see swatches HERE. Cherry Cordial is a deep, vampy burgundy which has a satiny finish... not matte, but not super shiny and zero shimmer. it's pretty opaque and applies easily. i definitely recommend using a lip liner with shades like this... you don't want this type of color wandering around ;)

here's a look at the tube... you can see me reflected, it's so shiny!

swatched on my arm...

and on-lip swatch... this is just the lipstick, no liner!

Gerard Cosmetics lipsticks retail for $19 each. you can find them and other products on their website, www.GerardCosmetics.com!

i still can't wrap my mind around the fact that it's already 2015... it's crazy! Ria :)
