Dolce & Gabbana Makeup

Swatches of three of the matte lipsticks
L-R: Desire, Inferno, Flirt

They don't dry completely matte, I would say that the finish resembles the MAC satin one. They are crazy pigmented, I decided to try Desire yesterday and I applied it quickly without lip liner, let's just say that this is not a lipstick you can put on without a mirror

What really impressed me was that they are very long-lasting and fade evenly. Everyone, who knows me, can say that the only time when I don't have a coffee cup in my hand, is when I'm asleep. Therefore, I have to fix my lipstick on the top of my bottom lip aaaaall the time. I applied Desire around 4 pm (sorry about the messy application and the bad quality, I didn't notice that it's not focused; also I had lip balm underneath, it's way more matte without one)

I had coffee, water (from a bottle), dinner (I think it's very important to say that it included chicken wings

), then had a shower and brushed my teeth and this is a picture from 11 pm:

Obviously, the shade is completely different and this is a stain but I was really happy, that I still had colour on my bottom lip!


What I didn't like:
They are really pigmented, so they are messy! I left marks on my cup, bottle, etc. I think I'm used to matte lipsticks that dry completely on the lips and don't leave marks, I can even touch my lips and I'll have clean fingers. This is not the case here.
The shade Inferno is almost identical to Amethyst from the regular line, which I own. The only difference is in the finish.

I made a lot of comparison swatches but this post is too long, so I'll post them later.

Thanks for posting Maggie. If it's one I think I will need for certain, it'll be that vampy goodness that is Inferno!!

L-R: The first one should be MAC Cyber but I'm not 100% sure; Lingering Kiss, Runner, Inferno, Amethyst, TTT - clearly some of them look nothing like Inferno

As I already said, it's almost identical with Amethyst, the next closest dupe would be TTT

MAC Roxo, Deeply Adored, Desire, Inferno, Flirt, Riri Woo, Ruby Woo


And a closer look at the last three.


I'm glad that I don't have exact dupes

Ughhh, that first pic has sealed it. I was saying Inferno reminds of me of TTT and there they are, swatched side by side, almost looking like twins separated at birth!

Does anyone know where in the US sells the matte line? I didn't see it on Saks or Sephora as yet.

It's gorgeous! I tried it on last night and it's really close to TTT, just a bit less matte.

I read about it yesterday

This is an absolutely horrible thing to say!!
And you would think that people that famous would have someone, who makes sure they don't mess up so badly in printed interviews.

Right?
That tax stuff was so heavy. Celebs are boycotting now. Yikes.

At the end of the day, people will say things they regret (or not) whether they have good PR teams or not because that is what people do. I really want to see the full interview because I'm so wary these days of the media and their sensationalism. It's like everything someone says or does these days is just blown out of proportion.

I agree that some things can be blown out of proportion in a sensitive, uber-PC climate. There are people who "slip" and reveal their feelings like JP Guerlain and Galiano smh For someone else, it may not matter but for people who support the brand and could not have children other than by IVF, or who support gay rights, they could have valid reasons for feeling like they need to disassociate. Time will tell what impact it will have.

Time will tell what impact it will have.

I agree. However, people seem to have short memories so once all the hype/controversy dies down, (most) people will forgive and support again. It's a by-product of consumerism unfortunately.

I think they may lose some people permanently if it hits very close to home but perhaps just a few as I so agree re: consumerism. Companies can get away with a lot because we still want that product!
