THAT "Kylie Jenner" brown 90's inspired lip colour

Hey Blog Readers!!

SOOO I constantly see posts on facebook/instagram/twitter from girls saying they want to find a lipstick that reflects the 90's look Kylie Jenner has been rocking a lot over the past few  months...

you know the one....



 

It's a mauve/brown/maroon colour and it was everywhere in the 90's but these days it's a little harder to find... So many people respond to these comments saying mix this mac lipstick with this one.. this lipliner followed by x10 others etc... and I'm always screaming from the inside noooooo all you need is Gerard Cosmetic's (appropriately named) '1995'!!! now some people who I've told this to have taken the advice and purchased the lipstick -contacting me later to tell me how much they love it! when other's may have tried something else only to a couple of weeks later put up the same status.. thus showing they weren't exactly satisfied with whatever alternative product it was that they decided to try in their search for this 90's look! 

I understand why people may be skeptical about my advice on this topic.. 
  1. I have a coupon code ("Barry") which gives 25% off the Gerard cosmetics site and therefore people may think "oh she's only saying that because she is affiliated with the company". I truly do understand that thought process but genuinely I tell people about the coupon code because who doesn't love a discount! and 2nd I would never promote a product that I didn't actually love and think was a great product! For me there would be no benefit in that because people would stop reading or watching my blogs as they wouldn't be able to trust that what I was telling them was my honest opinion! Also while I love the quality of all the Gerard cosmetics products you definitely hear me rabbit on about the lipstick shade 1995 more than anything because I am obsessed with it and I genuinely wear it all the time!x!
  2. Some people are just stuck on mac and find it difficult to try other brands as they fear the quality won't be the same! I call these people "mac-heads". Listen I love mac as much as the next girl but it is a hype thing - some of their products are amaze-balls while other's are mediocre, some beat out other brands hands down while others don't live up to the competition - you just have to be willing to experiment and try alternative brands: both drugstore and high end. 
  3. Possibly the biggest reason for not trying 1995 in search for that 90's lip-shade is that people may be reluctant to order make-up products online as you don't get a chance to try it first and it takes a couple of days to arrive! I completely understand this! We used to be the same about online shopping for clothes until we realized how much easier it is and the nicer items you can find online compared to going in to the store where good products/items are often sold out etc! My advice on this would be to always YouTube research any make-up or beauty product that you are considering buying... watch a couple of different videos and look at swatches on people who are ideally the same skin/hair colour as you are as this will give you a good idea of what to expect from the product! Also rest-assured because Gerard Cosmetics have a 30 day full refund policy if you are in any way unhappy with your purchase! 

With that out of the way lets have a close look at "1995" :)




Gerard Cosetics say "Get inspired by the neutral nudes of the 90s with Jaclyn Hill's signature lipstick, 1995. Inspired by the 90s grunge revival and the beauty trends of an unforgettable decade, this iconic creation is a matte but creamy lip color that isn't trendy but a timeless expression of glam". 



check out my YouTube videos! This one's on contouring/highlighting
 


 

There's no denying the shade 1995 is identical to that KJ 90's look... why is it identical? well because that's who it was inspired after and what it is designed to be! SO if you like that throwback 90's grunge look then what are you waiting for!! Jump on board the 90's train!! Choo-CHOO!! 

Remember to save with coupon code 'Barry'! 

Stop mixing magic con-concoctions trying to figure it out and go with an all round winner!! no need for extra products! One step to ThrowBack-90's-Everrryday :)


Lots of Love,
