I wore Charlotte once and have not yet worn Dominique. I didn't have the best experience ordering from NARS either and at my age, I'm no longer amenable to feeding
frenzies. Also, when the Audacious lippies came on the scene, I was gobbling up Tom Ford's matte lippies.

I haven't worn either of them out of the house

Since we're doing the lipstick a day challenge, I keep wanting to save them for a special event lol. Lol @ feeding frenzies. I remember when your Dominique showed up long after you'd ordered it *smh* I've gotten infinitely better customer service when ordering from their boutiques. I'm happy to just get their stuff from Sephora though.

Oh me too for sure! Nordies seems to have more of their products now too.

Yup. Most of my cosmetic shopping is either Nordies or Sephora. If Nordies did a similar 20% off sale like Sephora does, I would order from them almost exclusively.

You have to keep your eyes out for the sales at Nordies. They often have price-match sales and or 10 % off. I use those sales to get most of my staples like eye make
remover and skincare products.

Yeah I do but whenever I see them there's nothing I want lol.

It is at 6 % now?? I told myself that was reason enough to pick up the smash box LE blush palette!! Of course I needed more blushes and from a brand I haven't even tried!!

I'm a sucker for sales. That's how I ended up with two Edward Bess blushes at half price. I still need to pick up the new D&G one in Raspberry and the one called Sole. I'm trying to ignore the lippies lol.

Isn't that always the way? I usually find my Dior skin care for sale. Now I've gotten so spoiled by the sales that I refuse to pay full retail for it.

 

[Shars]

OMG---That one called Sole is GORGEOUS

That is one intense coral-red!!!!

Isn't it just? It's right up my alley.

That's how I feel about so many things. I'll never pay full price for brands like UD, Nars, The Balm, etc. because there's always a sale on the horizon. Worse yet, if I can get it somewhere else with a higher online rebate lol.

I loooove shopping at the D&G counter in Harrods! I bought the foundation, a blush and 2 of the new lipsticks. I asked about the lipstick that the model on the left is wearing, the SA told me it's Flirt, I didn't buy it, so he gave me a mini one! I'll post swatches later.

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, I like Fire and Passion. The lipsticks, too lol ;-)[/quote

Thank you for the awesome swatches! I have loved every D&G lipstick I have ever purchased, including a ton of the Passion Fusion Gloss duos a few years ago. I think one of the Nordstroms near me finally has a counter, but I have yet to make it there yet. I am used to ordering blind when only Saks carried the brand. I am glad that more places now carry this brand. I need to pay more attention to it again.

I don't have a lot of D&G products, I bought my first one last summer, but I've loved everything so far! I have Seduction, which is a nude, so I wear it very often and I really really like it. I also love the scent of the lip products!

Those lip colors are gorgeous!!!!

Tan, I used it today for contouring and I'm really impressed! It's the perfect taupe and I no longer have to use eyeshadows for that

I'm new to the brand as well. I have not yet used the e/s quad. lip products and Np that I purchased but I'm slowing working through a ton of new items. It's just a case of
makeup overload at the moment.
