Also I've been testing the Luminous foundation in the past week and I'm loving it so far. The coverage is medium/full, I wouldn't say it's luminous, it's doesn't look dewy in any way but it's not matte either. I do get some shine peeking through in the first few hours, if I don't apply powder, so maybe it won't be suitable for oily skins. It also lasts for a long time. I think I finally found a high end foundation, that I love and I hope there's a shade for my skintone because the testers I was given are a bit darker, even though there are in one of the lightest shades.

Matte is my favorite formula. I would love a suitable nude and a very dark red

I'm perfectly happy with my
foundation ATM, but I enjoy knowing which are good for future reference, so thanks for sharing that.

I think D&G is available only in Harrods in the UK, so I got them from there. The SAs are lovely! A few months ago I got samples of the Perfect Matte and the Perfect Reveal Lift foundations. I think both of them had medium/full coverage. I liked the finish of the Lift one but I think it's too early for me to wear products with anti-ageing ingredients. I'll try the matte one again tomorrow because I don't remember if I liked it but I think the Luminous will be the one for me.
The sample jar is so cute!

I love that nail polish!!!

I love that nail polish!!!

Thank you! It's one of my favourites - China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy. I have almost finished my second bottle, even though the formula is horrible! It's patchy, streaky and a nightmare to apply. If I don't put a top coat on, I get chipped ends in a few hours. BUT it's the most beautiful neon NP I've seen.

New matte lipsticks, credit to the IG users. Why are all of them red :shock: I want to see the darkest one :eyelove: Also I've been testing the Luminous foundation in the past week and I'm loving it so far.

:thud: The luminous foundation isn't luminous. It's satin going on matte. A more luminous foundation, for them is the creamy foundation in the jar. Now that's not to say it's luminous either, but it gives you more to that effect than the one with luminous in it's title. I wanted to try the lift foundation, but that price makes me cry. Eventually, though.

http://www.dolcegabbana.com/beauty/makeup/lips-products/dolce-matte-lipstick/ they look amazing on the models and in the video! I love matte lipsticks too, I need to see these. I like the look of Lover, Desire and Inferno. The one on the left model is amazing

I love the names too..

Now that video could make one long for a few of these reds! Thanks for sharing the link----Just Gorgeous. I'd like to have:
Dolce by Dolce # 619
Passion # 629
Blood #644
Jealous # 328

I don't have that particular NP but I do have a very bright pink CG called 'Neon On & On'. My one issue with CG is more often than not, the color in the bottle doesn't translate to the nails and it just yields a totally different color.

That NP is on my list, I need to make an order soon. I have a few CG NPs and I like all of them, the FFF is the only one with the horrible formula.

The Luminous Foundation actually looks dewey and glowy on me. Especially at the top of my cheekbones. Gives even more of a highlight effect. Nice but I should have tried the Matte. Luminous got better reviews, though.

Oh that's the truth!!!!

Hmm I'm 21 and I've read that it's not good to use skincare that is not for your age. I've been trying to take better care of my skin in the past year and I've been looking at some EL and Lancome serums and moisturizers but all of them say at least 30+, so I'm not sure what I can buy. I've had problematic skin since I was maybe 12 but I bought a Clarisonic Plus, I've been using all of the GG face mask very often and most of my skincare is from La Roche-Posay, so my skin now looks better than it ever has. However, I think I'll wait 3-4 more years before I start using anti-ageing products.

I'm not good at describing foundations but on me at first you can say it's almost matte but then it looks really glowy where the light hits me. It's some sort of matte shine??

That doesn't make any sense

Well, I just took it off after more than 8 hours and I really like it. I'll go to the store, when I get a chance.

Blanket statements like that are never accurate. You have to judge based on your own skin and your skin's problems. For example, I have hereditary under eye circles and to top it off, based on my eye shape in conjunction with my eye socket, I almost always have bags. I used to think the dark circles were only because of my diet or lack of sleep and although those were issues, I just needed to moisturise more! You won't need every single eye cream or something labelled "anti-ageing" lol But there are some products that are good for prolonging the inevitable.

Okay, I get your point now. I do use eye cream and moisturise regularly. Two years ago I used to think that since my skin is combination and I get breakouts often, I have to use every drying cream and mask that exist

Now I often put different oils on my face overnight - almond, jojoba, argan.. But for example I don't need an anti-wrinkle collagen based moisturiser for now.

And just to be on topic, Scarlett Johansson was wearing the matte lipstick Desire at the Oscars:

I'm not so good myself lol
Matte but not flat sounds good

It's a nice foundation, barring any skin reactions due to skin type, etc

  [COLOR=0000FF] I await your review & opinion  my queen of foundation[/COLOR]:curtsy:  

I almost pulled the trigger last week. I have a $20 Nordstroms note. I could either get that foundation or a pair of Keds. :lol:

I have combination skin and lately I've been using a lot of moisturiser, so it's more satiny on me but it's definitely not matte (or luminous). The creamy foundation is the only one I haven't tried and probably I wouldn't because I don't find it very hygienic. I don't know why the Lift foundation is so much more expensive than the rest :shock: That NP is on my list, I need to make an order soon. I have a few CG NPs and I like all of them, the FFF is the only one with the horrible formula.

The lift foundation is probably more expensive because it's aimed at the older set and promises to add lift and radiance to older skin. I don't put much stock in those anti-aging claims in makeup. I just want the finish to keep me from looking like the crypt keeper. I always prefer a pump for convenience, but I wash my hands obsessively and so I don't worry about it not being sanitary.

I think you have to do what works best for your skin type and any concomitant issues, and it sounds like you're on the right track.

I'm sure you have a ton of foundation....and Keds for that matter, but a new pair to greet spring sounds pretty nice!!!
There are things other than my face that could use lifting. I found one of the differences in products that proudly wear the 'Anti-aging' banner is
The addition of humectants for dry aging skin, and the difference has been quite visible for me.

I think I have to get the keds so I don't have to but them full price on their site. I'm using this new Neutrogena cleanser and moisturizer and I can clearly see a difference in my face. There's radiance and it looks even clearer than before. I had to drop Lush because even though I love their cleanser, I can never get through a whole tub of that stuff before the expiration date. It was wasteful. I'm tempted to just get the creamy foundation again. I know that I like it so there's no risk. I had to throw out my old one because I was strict about the expiration date on it.
