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!

Dolce & Gabbana has created a fabulous new mascara for the fall 2013 season. Due to hit store shelves by October 2013, Dolce & Gabbana’s Passioneyes Duo Mascara Curl and Volume collection is expected to be the ultimate way to achieve beautiful, full lashes-and it is! Love this!

Passioneyes mascara is designed with natural ingredients including beeswax and tapioca which leave lashes conditioned and flexible.  This is a really important feature for me. I am allergic to the majority of mascara’s on the market. Mascara’s which claim to be natural or hypo-allergenic still cause severe irritation in my eyes. This has been a problem I have faced since I was in high school-which is (cough cough) over twenty years. I have always tried new mascara’s only to end up with an allergic reaction. It is very frustrating! Thankfully, for the first time in years, I am able to wear mascara! Thank you Dolce & Gabbana!

Dolce & Gabbana’s new Passioneyes Mascara has a curved application brush which instantly lengthens and curls lashes. I loved how full my eye-lashes looked after applying it! I applied Passioneyes Duo Mascara Curl and Volume in “Terra” at 8am in the morning and the mascara lasted all day! There wasn’t any flaking, clumping or irritation. Love that!

I am so excited to have discovered a mascara I can actually wear! I am thrilled with not only how my lashes look, but that Dolce & Gabbana’s natural formula can be worn by me! I am not allergic to it! I will definitely be wearing Dolce & Gabbana’s mascara for many years to come J

Dolce & Gabbana’s Passsioneyes Duo Mascara Curl and Volume is available in three colors; Nero, Terra and Blue Indaco. The mascara is priced at $32 and can be found online here.


Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue eau de toilette review

PhotoLight Blue EDT c/o Dolce and Gabbana

Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue eau de toilette is a fresh and crisp fragrance perfect for transitioning from summer into fall. As we leave summer behind and move into the autumn months, the weather is still warm; sometimes reaching 90 degrees. Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue is perfect for warm weather and offers a reminiscent vibe of the summer vacation we left behind.

Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana combines fragrance notes of citron, lemon, bluebell, Granny Smith apple, jasmine, rose, bamboo, cedar wood, amber and musk. This combination of crisp summer top and heart notes combined with warm, autumn base notes creates the perfect fragrance experience throughout the day. While the sun rises and heats up the day, Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana cycles through the citrus top notes and fruity-floral middle fragrance notes. At the end of the day when the fog rolls in from the ocean, the warm woody base warms up the evening. Love that!

Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue eau de toilette received five out of five stars from Bay Area Fashionista! 

Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana can be found in three sizes, .84oz, 1.6oz and 3.3oz. The line is priced from $48-$89 and can be found online here.
