Dolce & Gabbana Creamy Foundations & Passion Duo Lipsticks

Starting with the Passion Duo Lipsticks. These really are quite beautiful. The reason for the gloss-filled central core? To give a lipstick with glossy qualities - and it works. The lipsticks are super-creamy on the lip and give a very shiny lipstick finish and have that perfumed smell that I always associate with 'expensive' lipsticks. Separated into four shade categories, Nudes to Browns, Reds To Orange, Pinks to Mauves and True Passion, there really is a good selection for all tones. They launch on 1st September and are £24 each.

This is Sensation; a creamy peach/pink that is quite pale on the lip and would suit lighter skin tones perfectly.

The new Creamy Foundations are really quite something. Packaged in a square glass jar with a gold lid, they look like a luxurious face cream on first appearance. The price is £34 - and I know that is high for foundation, but I expected them to cost more to be honest. The 15 shade collection gives a medium-weight coverage - it is gorgeously creamy and therefore incredibly easy to manoevre around the skin for flawless cover. 

On the above swatch, I haven't fully blended in so you can see the texture and colours better. They did all blend seamlessly. The formula isn't completely fragrance free but it is a very light scent. Again, this will launch on September 1st.
