using the Dolce & Gabbana Eyeshadow Quad in Desert ($67), from the new Animalier collection
It’s a jungle out there. say thanks to goodness for makeup…and cats (what, you couldn’t tell I was a feline lady?).
And whenever my two preferred interests collide, let’s just say, I have a moment.

Like a straggler gazelle on the African savanna in the crosshairs of a hungry lion, I fell prey to the new Dolce & Gabbana Animalier holiday collection… It was inevitable — the cycle of life as it relates to the new Eyeshadow Quad in Desert ($67).
Leopard-print packaging, golden neutrals as well as perfect performance? Yes, this is the quad I’m bringing with me when J.Renn as well as I get stranded on that deserted island (that incidentally likewise has contemporary advantages like plumbing, air conditioning, a Sephora store as well as Web access).
Granted, the $67 cost label is like a deep, agonizing feline scratch for wallets, however that’s Dolce & Gabbana for ya. They may fee borderline redonkulous prices, however when they get a product right, they knock it out of the park…

…and all the method to the Dolce & Gabbana Eyeshadow Quad in Desert.
The leopard-print packaging
Even if I wasn’t a feline lady, I’d like this restricted edition quad’s packaging. Not only do I like the method it looks on the outside, however the colors inside it are based on the print! exactly how great is that?
ពណ៌
Three of the quad’s four neutrals — the matte beige, shimmery gold as well as matte light brown — have golden, mid-color temperature tones, which ought to make them flatter a broad variety of skin tones.
The darkest shade, the plummy reddish brown, is a touch warmer than the other colors, as well as since it’s the darkest, I utilize to smoke out the other shades as well as as a liner (works well on lash as well as water lines).
If you have extremely cool-toned skin (quick tip: if the veins in your arm appear blue, you’re most likely cooler toned; if they’re greenish, much more warm), the darker shade may be a bit difficult to pull off, however it might still are available in useful as a fallback liner.
The performance
Man, these eyeshadows ought to get Hollywood agents since they’re superstars! They’re whatever I might ever hope for as well as expect from a high-end makeup line (that charges $67 for a quad).
I have no concept exactly how D&G handled to make them this pigmented as well as yet keep them so simple to blend. as well as the fallout? — what fallout? Zero, nada, zilch. as well as they last all the time long for me without creasing or fading.
If the cost is the one thing holding you back, you may already have a few similar colors in your collection. taking a look at MAC alone, which has a truly broad range, you might utilize MAC Brule in location of Desert’s beige, Patina or Woodwinked in location of the shimmery gold, Soba or Soft brown instead of the light brown, as well as Folie in location of the darker reddish brown.
They wouldn’t be precise dupes; I believe a few of the MAC colors lean warmer than the Dolce & Gabbana shades, however I believe you’d have a similar vibe.
Desert isn’t destined for any type of drugstore shelves, however I have to state — I like this quad.
I’ve been using it a great deal lately with Laura Mercier’s metallic Creme Eye Colour in Gold as a base, MAC Blacktrack Fluidline on my upper lash line as well as MAC Powersurge Kohl on my lower water line for a classic, ageless eye makeup look.

Don’t rain, don’t rain, don’t rain…
I desire I might get mom Nature to put the rain on pause this morning. I’d really, truly appreciate it, LOL! I’m driving into the city a bit later to satisfy a friend, as well as I don’t like driving across the bridge in the rain.
We’re satisfying for lunch at an organic location called The plant Cafe. never been there before, however a few of the things on their site look quite tasty…
I hope nobody provides me sorrow about taking pics of my food… It occurs sometimes, however I’m type of at the point where I just immediately bust out my video camera whenever food is nearby. I fail to remember in some cases that it can seem a bit strange.
Have a pleased hump day today. exactly how are things out there?
