Dolce & Gabbana Makeup

Re: Dolce & Gabbana Makeup

I want so badly the Nude lipstick! I'll wait when I go to London to buy it.

I have 3 lipglosses. They're OK, not so good as Illmasqua's lipglosses, but better than most. The only problem is the scent (at least for me it too strong)

D&G Lipgloss Nude:




D&G Lipgloss Seduction:



I need to make a swatch of "Glossy".

Re: Dolce & Gabbana Makeup

I want to try their lippies and gloss.

Whew... I just bought The Foundation and I am BLOWN.AWAY! This is the best cream foundation I've ever used... EVER. You use such a small amount to get the job done, and the coverage and finish are to DIE for! Love it.

 

 

I have the Champagne quad. Not a fan. The colours are a bit sheer and they don't seem to wear very well - even with a base. I like the lipsticks and lipglosses though. I love the lipstick in Nude and the Lipgloss in Honey.

I've never used any of their eyeshadows. Thanks for the heads up! I have a couple of their lipsticks, and I am just head over heels about the foundation. I will try the lip glosses next. I also want to try the nail polishes.

Yeah, if there's anything that's a miss from their line, it's definitely the eyeshadows. I think most people who wrote reviews about the quads were basing it off of first impressions only. What cheeses me off most about the quad is that it doesn't wear well at all, no matter what base is used.

That's no good. I don't even like USING a primer regularly with eyeshadows... so I'd be really upset if the shadow didn't perform with the additional help of a primer. Check out their foundation. I love it. That and the lipsticks are must haves for me.

I may get a sample. I'd buy it but I can't think of a single place which carries D&G and has an acceptable return policy for me.

Yeah, the return policy is KEY... especially with cosmetics. I don't buy from anyone where it's going to be a hassle... just in case.

Hi, I hope one of you ladies can give me some advice. I just got a bunch of makeup of ebay including a D&G powder foundation and I'm not sure if its legit or a fake. My reasons for thinking it's a fake are that the case is really light thin plastic and the powder has a LOT of shimmer and I didn't think that it had any shimmer at all. It's got more shimmer than one of my MAC MSFs! 

 

How is the casing supposed to feel? Is it light of does it have some weight to it. And if the current foundation doesn't have shimmer is there an older version that does and I've been sent that? I want to find out as much as possible before I contact my seller. Thanks!

My powder foundation is surprisingly light. Also, there's no shimmer at all. I think you might have a fake on your hands, unfortunately.

Thanks Shontay. I can get my head around the lightness but it's as I thought the shimmer isn't right for the foundation. In fact looking around I think it's the Eva Illuminator inside a compact foundation. I hate fighting with ebay sellers. Thanks again.

Yeah, there's no shimmer at ALL. Sorry ((((mamapie)))))

The case is not light plastic either. It's got some density and weight to it... it feels expensive.

What color are you? I just bought Bronze, but I am not to sure if its the right color. I am Nc42 in Mac. 

Thanks!!!

What happened to this line?

 

I didnt hear anything about them for a while. I would like to try a few products, they seem to have gorgeous blushes but there is literally almost no coverage of this brand on any blog.

Sabrina used to cover them but looks like she is not buying them anymore.

 

Does anyone has experience with their quads, duos or blushes? I have a counter nearby but never stopped over there (because Burberry counter is right next to it )

OMG just found this, their new collection

 

the powder is gorgeous, hands down, one of the most pretties makeup pieces I ever saw.

I only have one piece from D&G so far. I have Cosmopolitan lipstick. It's a gorgeous orange/coral color. It's so creamy and opaque that I usually end up blotting so that I don't have so much product on my lips. The one downside to it is the awful smell. It's so strong, like perfume. It's more repugnant than Chanel and MUFE. It takes time to settle down and the taste can get into your mouth. I have to be careful when applying it to avoid that.

I just ordered one of the Monica Bellucci lipsticks, but it's the coral that's on pre-order. I hope to get it in a few weeks. I'm tempted to buy another color just because I want to see what they're about right now, but I can't decide on a color. That's the problem when you already own so many lipstick colors and formulas.

 Shontay!

 

I am tempted by the MB ls.. I am going for the Euro slutty look now anyway.. ha.

 

I do have some blushes (neutrals) and also some of the nude ls.. from a few seasons back but I found them lacking in pigmentation. hope this has changed.

Hey, Hergreyness!

I'm thinking about the shade 'Natural Monica' but I wonder how much it'll show on my lips. I heard that all of these lipsticks are very pigmented, but I just wonder. Maybe I'll settle for the bright pink(?). I wish I could get some really clear, definitive swatches. I search google by the hour, but I'm not quite satisfied with what I'm finding.

I got my Italian Monica lipstick today. I LOVE it. It's a lighter, but still bright, fully opaque red. It's really creamy, too. Very happy with everything except the scent! Again, it's a strong floral scent, but it does fade as you wear it. I really wish the coral, Only Monica would come in stock so I can get it. I have it on backorder. In the meantime, I'm still thinking about Natural Monica. The other colors don't do anything for me.

We'll see.

I tried Only Monica at the counter and it is the sheerest of them all.

Got a blush, the packaging is beautiful.

How do they compare to Rouge Cocos in terms of texture and hydration?

I find RCs very drying.

I would say that the 2 D&G lipsticks I have (one Italian Monica, obviously and the other an older shade) are creamier going on and not as drying as you wear it throughout the day. However, I don't find RCs especially drying, either. They're not the driest formula I've tried even with my naturally dry lips. I also find certain shades to be less dry than others. Having said all that, though, if you find RCs dry, you should have a much better time with these lipsticks. Nothing dry about them. They're comparable to Rouge Allures.

Finally got Only Monica which was on backorder. I absolutely love it! It's my favorite coral lipstick. It's slightly comparable to Viva Glam Cyndi. It's not as red as Cyndi, though. It's also not as sheer as some bloggers lead me to believe. I was almost afraid. It's not as richly opaque as Italian Monica, but it's not sheer. I think I'll go ahead and get Natural Monica and/or all the rest of the shades.

Anyone try the Passion Duo lipsticks?

Hi Shontay, would you be able to take a picture of the ingredients list for Only Monica please? Or list them?

Urmi, I couldn't get a decent picture of the ingredients since the box is gold and the reflection was a problem. There's a ton of ingredients, so I can't type it out either.

Thanks so much for trying, I appreciate it! Would you please scan the list and see if it has any parabens in it? P.s. you're good, by now my box would have been in a bin!
