New Dolce & Gabbana Monica Lipstick Review and Swatches & Should I return my shoes?



I think one of the most beautiful women on earth is Italian goddess actress Monica Bellucci. Man,  she takes my breath away, When I heard Dolce & Gabbana was releasing their new Monica lipstick in honor of her, I was super excited. When I received them in the mail, well I nearly did a back flip!! The two colors I received for consideration were Magnetic Monica and Chic Monica.

I always like to exfoliate my lips thoroughly before applying any lipstick but I didn't need to that with the Dolce & Gabbana Monica Lippies! These lipsticks are incredibly creamy and hydrating. When I applied both Chic Monica and Magnetic Monica,  my lips felt insanely moisturized. And the colors are so rich. These applied opaque with just one application. Chic Monica is a pink red with a satin finish. Magnetic Monica is a medium plum with a satin finish as well. JLO's makeup artist, Scott Barnes once told me not to wear dark lippys because they can make you look older, but I didn't mind Magnetic Monica, in fact I kind of liked it.






How do these rate? An A+. They last a good four hours before reapplication is necessary, and even the scent of these, kind of like a rose, is wonderful. I highly recommend these lippies!

Here's me with Chic Monica:

How was your weekend? Mine was great. Sunday, we went to an NYC street fair. Love those.


Then I went to Zara and bought a few things including the below shoes.  I'm trying to decide if I should return them. I like them, but I'm not obsessed with them. What do you think?


What are your thoughts on the D&G Monica Lipsticks?

  1. I agree, Monica Belluci has that ethereal beauty. I like both shades on you, I'm kind of drawn towards the darker lippy.

  2. I like the darker Monica. As for the shoes, I don't think they look like you. The straps are too wide, I think.

  3. Not really feeling the shoes. Not sure why though. I would get a smaller heel in a less neutral color. Love the lipsticks though!
