No parabens! greengrin.gif

I hold on to my boxes for a couple of days out of habit. It used to be to make sure I was happy with a product. It's getting tossed tomorrow.

Interestingly enough, this lipstick has bismuth oxychloride which, in face and eye products, irritates the crap out of me. I just can't use it b/c within 5 minutes I'm itching and breaking out. However, having two of these lipsticks and wearing them for hours, there's nothing weird at all. Go figure. I hope it stays that way.

Thanks a lot Shontay! Glad to hear it's not irritating you smiles.gif

Waist called Eva? There's a illuminating powder that's the only pressed powder with shine

I think I'll go ahead and get Natural Monica and/or all the rest of the shades.

 

I finally brokedown and ordered Only Monica.  I love the swatches that I have seen of it online.  I am also interested in Natural & Italian Monica, but I am going to see whether I like Only Monica first.  I have read conflicting opinions on the smell and taste of D & G ls.  I will have to see if I can tolerate the smell & taste before I buy more.

I hope you like it Haven. I have Italian and Only Moncia and I adore them. I'm about to order Natural Monica. The scent and taste are not fun, but I think I mentioned before, it wears off. Give it 15-20 minutes and it's like any other lipstick. Plus it's long wearing.

^^^So far so good.  I received it yesterday and am trying it out today.  Love the color!  If the wear time is good and if it doesn't dry out my lips, then I will probably order at least one more.

 

The smell is not the best, but I think that I can tolerate it.  It reminds me of my mom's lipstick that I used to 'borrow' when I was young.  Real old school ls smell.

I just got my order of the luminous liquid foundation today and I love it. I prefer it over the creamy foundation, even. It has a pump, it's lightweight, great for normal/dry skin, and the color is great. The shades apparently run the same as the creamy foundation, so I am 160 soft tan in both. I really wish D&G was sold in more places. They've got some jewels in their line. The foundations and the lipsticks. I look forward to trying their brushes and maybe mascaras next.

I have the same shade as I have in the creamy foundation (soft tan). It's definitely better for dry skin types. It works better on me at night, when it's cooler. Not a good day wear foundation for me though. It reminds me of YSL Teint Eclat.. so maybe this will work well as a replacement for you. I feel like the formulas are nearly identical.

 

The cream foundation definitely has more coverage though. The liquid is a solid medium coverage.

They have it in NYC stores, but I don't feel like going over there. I hope it comes to NJ soon. I already have the foundations, but I would love to buy the lipsticks and glosses on the spot instead of waiting. I have ordered a few colors, blindly in the past and have not been disappointed. I guess that's a good thing. I'm interested in the foundation brush, but I want to see it and feel it in person first because I really don't like the YSL foundation brush. Wish I had seen it in person first.

I have seen it in .Sephora at Time Square only. They also have Armani.

On Union Square they have Armani and Edward Bess but not D&G.

I went there hunting for the Animalier collection but no luck.

They had the quad but just in regular perm packaging, they are divine.

I am so anxious to try the quads - I have 2 of the duos and love them.  I always marvel at Temptalia's total diss of them - I just can't believe they're THAT bad.  I want to swatch for myself though......I guess I'll have to plan another trip to NYC to try to see them.

 

I'm also considering the Animalier collection.......

The Animalier quad has great texture and pigmentation. They are very creamy.
I have the Femme Fatale ruby quad but I would rate them average at most.
