Dolce & Gabbana Rosebud Shine Lipstick

Dolce & Gabbana Rosebud (170) Shine Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a glossy pale pink iwth a hint of rose and soft white micro-shimmer. It’s nearly opaque, and the paleness of the color makes the fuller coverage color look milky and creamy.

my thoughts on the formula: The Shine Lipsticks can be very creamy, when the finish is less shimmery, or more glimmering, if the finish is shimmery. Overall, they have a glossiness that isn’t there in the brand’s Classic Cream Lipsticks. The lipstick is rose-scented, and it is one of the heavier scented products I’ve come across, so if you are at all sensitive to scents, I would probably keep on looking. I usually average four hours of wear with this formula.

  • Product: 28/30
  • Value: 8/10
  • Ease of Use: 4/5
  • Packaging: 4/5

final thoughts: It is a surprisingly flattering milky pink, even on medium skin tones.  Milky pinks tend to wash me out, so I do find them hard to wear on their own, but I think this works.  I also like that it doesn’t have strong cool undertones.

wow, it’s really gorgeous!! And as you say, it doesn’t wash you out at all, probably the first milky pink I like!! Thanks for the swatches, I now have to go buy this shade 😛

Their shine lipsticks are simply divine.

I’m not a fan of pale colors, but it looks like it would reflect a lot of light!!!!!

I have “Soiree” and it is an amazing natural pink-coral shine.

I bought one of their lipsticks and the color is nice, but the smell was offensive! I thought it would wear off quickly, but it took a good amount of time on my lips before I stopped smelling it. Even my boyfriend noticed when he was close to my face, and he was not a fan. I love the color, though, so oh well…
