Makeup Monday: Manny Mua; Serenity Liquid Lipstick Review

So as you may already know, YouTuber MannyMua collaborated with Gerard Cosmetics to create a nude liquid lipstick called Serenity. 
I snapped this up using Manny's coupon code and got a massive 40% off! Without this code it is quite expensive so I thought I would share my thoughts on it with you in case any of you guys were thinking of buying it :-) 

The Packaging 
The gold top with the Gerard Cosmetics logo and the frosted glass container make it look so sleek! 

It's quite small though, I have compared it with my Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick below, just got a quick size comparison :-) You get 0.059oz in it though, whereas the ABH one has 0.11oz!! 


The colour
The colour swatched on my hand and lips here are in natural light and look very pink toned. It's a really soft matte, meaning it's not too drying when you first apply it. 

I love the colour it looks on my lips, such a gorgeous pinky nude! It works well with my pale skin tone, but I reckon this would look good on anyone with pale to medium skin tones. 


The Longevity 
This lipstick lasted a total of 4 before starting to wear off on my lips. I went to the cinema with this lipstick and ate lovely oily popcorn and sipped on my drink and the lipstick stayed put! 

The first thing I noticed about this lippy was that it left a nasty ring on the inside of my bottom lip (the struggle). This happened about 4 hours after I had applied it. It also started to feel a bit drying on the lips after 2 hours and it was quite uncomfortable. 

I didn't reapply this lipstick at all throughout the day and it was quite worn in the centre of the lips from eating and drinking!


The Verdict 
I am obsessed with the colour of this lipstick, and I think the longevity of this lipstick is quite good, but I would definitely recommend wiping it off and reapplying it when it starts to get patchy in the centre :-) 

What do you guys think of this lipstick? Has anyone tried it? Let me know in the comments below :-) 
Hope you guys enjoyed this post! 

Love & Hugs, Lora xo
