Dolce & Gabbana skin care

Dolce & Gabbana has introduced skin care to their beauty collection! This luxurious collection of skin care includes daily skin moisturizer, eye gel, SPF protection and skin cleansers. As a huge fan of Dolce & Gabbana’s make-up line, I was thrilled to hear the designing duo branched out to skin care.

I have spent the better part of my life outdoors. This means my skin has taken a beating from sun, wind and swimming pool chemicals. As my skin ages, I am also aware of fine lines and loss of radiance in my overall skin tone. Dolce & Gabbana’s new skin care collection promises to restore radiance, prevent and reduce fine lines, moisturize and protect skin from the sun through SPF protection. Love that!

I tested out Dolce & Gabbana’s new Cleansing Oil, Aurealux Eye Gel and Aurealux Cream. I have to admit, I am impressed! I have tried a variety of skin care products over the years, and very few have caught my attention. Dolce & Gabbana’s products worked extremely well on my aging, combination skin. I did not break out with any blemishes from using the cream and my skin stayed stabilized; no excess oil, love that! I saw my fine lines diminished and my skin moisturized and balanced within one week of use. The cleansing oil was gentle and made my skin squeaky clean; without stripping it of essential oils.

I am excited about Dolce & Gabbana’s new skin care line and look forward to trying other products from the collection; especially the mask!

Essie Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low nail polish is a beautiful, sparkling silver hue from the Winter 2015 nail polish collection. This fabulous silver nail polish is easy to wear and extremely festive; after all, the winter season includes the holiday season! One must be festive 😉

One of the big trends in nail polish for the fall and winter seasons is metallic nail polish. Metallic hues are being show in all forms of traditional metal including gold, silver, pewter and rose gold. Essie Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low is ideal for the winter and holiday seasons since the silver color works perfectly with winter pastels, while adding sparkle to the seasons’ neutral color palettes. 

I tested out Essie’s Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low with two coats of color and one base coat. The nail polish turned out to be very strong! It lasted eight days before I received one chip. Love that!

In addition to being a fabulous nail polish color for the winter and holiday seasons, Essie’s Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low is a great neutral hue which can be worn during any season of the year. This makes it an ideal color to add to ones’ nail polish wardrobe. It’s neutral and it sparkles, what else can you ask for?

Essie Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low nail polish can be found online here and here.

Dolce & Gabbana’s new The Lift Foundation and The Primer are luxurious additions to the designing duo’s beauty line. Both products offer exceptional moisturizing benefits while achieving flawless coverage; ultimately making you look younger in the process. Love that!

“One of the Dolce & Gabbana woman’s most powerful tools is her face: every aspect reveals something about her and her experiences, each expression reveals an emotion. Each woman decides what parts, if any, of the story she wants to tell, and that’s one of her strongest assets.” -Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

The Lift Foundation is formulated with Gold FlavoSilk Tricomplex with extracts of Gold Silk Sericin, Italian Olive Oil and Vitamin B3. This unique combination of ingredients restore’s skins’ natural moisture and smooths out fine lines and wrinkles in about four weeks. In addition, there is a choice between UV protection and broad spectrum protection; both offer SPF 25. I am in love with the broad spectrum version!

The Primer is a fabulous, hydrating, radiance-enhancing formula which offers protection for the skin while illuminating it. Love that! Dolce & Gabbana’s The Primer is infused with Gold Silk Sericin and Italian Olive Oil. The result is a fresh, natural, luminous complexion which is smooth and refined. Love that too!

I have fallen in love with Dolce & Gabbana’s The Lift Foundation and The Primer. Both products keep my skin moisturized and reduced my fine lines; a benefit I needed badly! I also love the broad spectrum SPF 25 in The Lift Foundation, with all the sunshine we have here in the San Francisco Bay Area, it is really important to wear SPF protection on a daily basis.

Dolce & Gabbana’s The Lift Foundation comes in fifteen shades and can be found online here. The Primer, can be found online here.
