Dolce&Gabb​ana Passion Duo Lipsticks for Summer and Beyond

Dolce&Gabbana's best-selling Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipsticks have some new shades in the family for summer thanks to a new collection, Summer Pleasures, created to keep you looking fab for the rest of the {hot!} season and transition you seamlessly to fall {my fave time of year!!}.

these vibrant, vividly rich hues include juicy reds and oranges inspired by luscious summer fruits, neutral nudes and beiges to compliment all sun-kissed, light to dark skin tones, as well as deep fuschias, rich browns and pinks that capture the allure of sunsets seen in the late-summer and early fall.

i have three shades that were sent to me, and i'm happy to report, they are gorgeous! take a look...

Exotic {an intense fuschia}, Tropical {vibrant, warm orange} and Royal {a rich berry} are moisture-rich, highly pigmented and gorgeously glossy. i wouldn't normally wear any of these shades, but as you can see from the pics, they're quite flattering {if i do say so myself ~ smile*}.

10 fusion duo shades are in the Summer Pleasures collection {other shades include Natural, Intrigue, Fatale, Imperial, Feminine, Sensual and Vivid} along with 5 nail lacquers {Grey Pearl, Passione, Royal, Fire and Cosmopolitan}, making for the perfect on-trend beauty accessories!

you can find the Dolce&Gabbana Summer Pleasures collection in select Saks Fifth Avenue stores and online at saksfifthavenue.com
