Dolce & Gabbana Evocative Beauty: Amethyst

Dolce & Gabbana Amethyst Classic Cream Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a semi-opaque, dark, reddened burgundy with a glossy finish.  It’s kind of like a cream, but there’s so much shine, describing it as a cream seems inadequate.  It’s very smooth and glides on effortlessly, but this is the kind of texture that can bleed more often than not.  I recommend using either a matching lip liner or a clear lip liner around the outer edge of the lip to help keep the lip color in its place.

Dolce & Gabbana’s Cream Lipsticks wear an average of four hours on me, but this shade is pigmented and deep enough that I get around five and a half.  It is heavily scented with rose, but I mostly smell it in the tube, not so much when worn.

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

RECOMMENDATION: It’s a nice vampy shade for autumn–it’s bold, dark, but the glossiness keeps it a little lighthearted, too.

Christine it looks great on you! I was expecting Amethyst to be more purple based on the ad campaign with Scarlett Johansen, but it’s amazing what photoshop can do. I’ve managed to get a really purple colour that’s similar by mixing MAC Goes and Goes with Tom Ford Black Orchid.

I took advantage of the Friends/Family discount and picked up the Amethyst gloss and a lipstick (Ultra). I might go back for the Amethyst lipstick. Ugh I was hoping this wasn’t going to be another pricey obsession. Just when I was trying to go on a “no buy” I had to start obsessing over dark lipsticks…stupid cold winter weather.

I am so upset that it isnt darker…I thought this was the same one used for the Dolce ad previously when Scarlett had the super dark lip? So glad I havent ordered it yet.

How does this compare with MAC’s Dark Deed? I love it but don’t want to buy something terribly close to my recent Maleficent haul, since I don’t wear dark lipsticks often anyway.

are you still just wearing the sugarbomb Christine? I’m sorry; but I have a fascination, not with your lips (which seems to be quite the norm) but with you amazingly glowy cheeks
