Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo lipstick is one of my favorite lipstick lines. The lipstick is a sheer gloss which adds a soft color to the lips. “Rose” is one of the new colors from Dolce & Gabbana’s fall 2013 collection which debuts in October. “Rose” is a beautiful and classic lipstick color which I find to be chic and the perfect lipstick to keep in my purse at all times. It goes with everything! I can definitely see myself wearing Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo “Rose” in any season. The hue plays well with warm and cool colors. Love that!

One of the fabulous features of Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo lipstick is the moisture. This lipstick moisturizes! This is fabulous because instead of using a lip balm and then topping it off with a lipstick, you can wear Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo lipstick alone! It moisturizes your lips, does not cake and adds the perfect sheer color to lips. Perfection!

Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo Lipstick is priced at $35 and can be found online here and here. I know you will love it as much as I do!

For fall 2013, I have been in the mood to wear more neutrals and warmer hues. I have also been playing with mixing gold and silver metals together. I love how Twisted Silver’s brass peices play well with the silver studs on my handbag and the pewter hue on my boots.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This means it is time to wear and buy pink! That’s right! This sweet hue, which also happens to be on-trend for the fall 2013 season, is the official color to wear in order to help raise awareness and show support for breast cancer research.

There are so many ways to show your support for Breast Cancer research. You can donate directly to non-profit organizations such as The National Breast Cancer Foundation, you can wear pink and you can also purchase products which donate a portion of the profits back to breast cancer research.

If you would like to donate to organizations such as The National Breast Cancer Foundation, go toNationalBreastCancer.org. If you would like to purchase products benefitting various charity organizations dedicated to finding a cure for breast cancer, please shop from the widget below.
