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.


Dolce & Gabbana Verde Bosco nail polish review

Dolce & Gabbana verde bosco nail polish fall 2014

Dolce & Gabbana’s new Verde Bosco nail polish for the fall 2014 season is just as mysterious as it is alluring. The deep, dark, hunter green hue appears black at first glance, but when examined closely, one can see the hunter green color hiding inside.

Playing off of the captivating colors from Dolce & Gabbana’s fall 2014 runway, Verde Bosco nail polish captures the magic of Dolce & Gabbana’s runway inspiration which offered a color palette inspired by the bewitching allure of nature. Hunter green also happens to be one of the “IT” colors of the fall 2014; making Dolce & Gabbana’s Verde Bosco nail polish an easy way to wear the hunter green color trend this autumn season.

I tested out Dolce & Gabbana’s Verde Bosco nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color. The nail polish stayed chip free for six days. Love that! The color was fun as it seemingly changed from appearing black, to a deep hunter green, depending upon the light. I love the mysterious effect Verde Bosco by Dolce & Gabbana has and will enjoy wearing it this fall season.

Dolce & Gabbana Verde Bosco nail polish works well with fall 2014’s dark autumn color palette. The hunter green hue also blends well with fall 2014’s neutral palette while offering a slight color contrast to the season’s blacks and grays. Verde Bosco by Dolce & Gabbana also offers a sophisticated touch to evening apparel this fall 2014 season.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Discover Vulcano pour homme edt is a new flanker fragrance to Dolce & Gabbana’s original Light Blue for men. Named after Vulcano, an Aeoleon Island which is known for its’ mud baths and an active, smoking crater, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Discover Vulcano pour homme eau de toilette offers a classic, masculine fragrance experience ideal for moderate weather.

This heavy, woody eau de toilette for men offers a long-lasting fragrance experience which is perfect for casual and weekend activities; as well as relaxed, evening occasions. Although the top notes offer a slight citrus scent, Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue Discover Vulcano edt offers a woody fragrance experience which originates from its’ base.

Top notes: Lemon, Ginger

Middle notes: Cypress, Lavender

Base notes: Vetyver, Cedarwood

We tested out Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Discover Vulcano pour homme edt on an eighty degree, summer day. The fragrance instantly gave off a woody scent laced with vetyver and light lemon. The woody scent lasted throughout the day while gently fading away into the evening hours. It is ideal for moderate weather during the spring, summer and fall months.
