Dolce & Gabbana Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipstick Reviews, Swatches and Photos

March 30th, 2012

Celebrity Makeup News and Blogs:

Besides making a stop at the NARS Boutique during my trip to NYC, I also checked out the Dolce & Gabbana Makeup counter at Saks Fifth Avenue and hauled a few goodies, including two Dolce & Gabbana Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipsticks.

Dolce & Gabbana Imperial and Infatuation Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipstick reviews
The Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipstick is a rich, creamy lip color wrapped around a satin gloss in a sleek, gold tube.

Infatuation is a beautiful bright red that Scarlett Johansson wore for the campaign shoot. It really pops against my dark hair and the blue undertones also make my teeth look whiter. Defintiely my new holy grail red lipstick!

Imperial, supposedly Kim Kardashian’s favorite color, is a gorgeous nude with pink undertones. It goes really well with my NC30 skin tone without washing me out and is perfect with a dramatic smoky eye.

Both lipsticks apply with excellent pigmentation, feel super moisturizing and leave behind tons of shine like a gloss.The staying power is also amazing. The color hardly feathers and stayed on even after a few drinks and a meal. Plus the price tag is comparatively lower than lipsticks that perform just as well, like my favorite Kanebo Sensai Lasting Treatment Rouge Lipsticks. Must get my hands on more! Any color recs?

NARS Rated R Eyeshadow Duo Swatches, Photos, Review

NARS Rated R Eyeshadow Duo

NARS Rated R Eyeshadow Duo ($33.00 for 0.14 oz.) is described as a “shimmering chartreuse” and “electric cobalt blue.” This is the first NARS product I ever looked at–back when I just started getting into makeup–though I did not purchase it at the time. I remember feeling like if you wanted to wear bright eye makeup, you had to have this.

The chartreuse is light-medium mix of yellow and green with a yellowy gold shimmer. It reminded me of MAC Double Feature 2 and Inglot #343 (this is matte). The color payoff is good, and the texture is very soft and finely milled. The cobalt shade is described well by NARS; it’s blue, it’s purple–no, it’s a harmonious blend of the two with an icy blue shimmer. It is on the sheerer side and has a dusty feel, which is a bit of a bummer. It’s not as blue as Inglot #369 or MAC Winkle. On the other hand, MAC Cobalt is darker and purpler.

Per NARS’ website, their eyeshadows are supposed to be long-wearing and crease-resistant. In my experience, they still need to be worn over an eyeshadow base for all-day wear, but alone, they wear seven to eight hours with subtle creasing. They don’t fall apart immediately after application, but an eyeshadow base is recommended for best results.

THE GLOSSOVER

PRODUCT : 8.5/10

PIGMENTATION : 9/10

TEXTURE : 9/10

LONGEVITY : 8.5/10

APPLICATION : 4/5

PACKAGING : 5/5

FINAL THOUGHTS

Both shades are extremely vibrant and more in-your-face kind of shades, and while they can be used together, you could definitely pair them with other shades in your stash! I wish the cobalt shade was better, because it falls short of good.

OVERALL: B+
