Dolce & Gabbana PassionEyes Duo Mascara: Lash Passion Now Comes in Blue, Brown and Black

September 26th, 2013 by Karen 6 Comments

Brown mascara, wha!?

Ain’t nobody got time for that!

That’s the first thing I thought when I saw Dolce & Gabbana’s new PassionEyes Duo Mascara ($32).

It comes in three shades — black, blue (referred to as Blue Indigo online, but it’s called Blu Indaco on the tube) and brown — the least exciting of which, for me, is the brown, mostly ’cause the tint is almost indistinguishable on my dark lashes.

A brown mascara could come in handy if you’re very fair, or if you don’t want your lashes to look too dark or stark, so if that sounds like a good fit for you, haaaaay! — now you’ve got a PassionEyes option.

According to D&G, PassionEyes gives a double boost to lashes, amplifying lash length and curl, which is why they bill it as a “Duo Mascara.” Tapioca polymers lock lashes into place, while beeswax enhances flexibility and glycerin conditions.

The look? How about feminine and curvy (they say they were inspired by a classic Dolce & Gabbana dress)?

Today I tested Nero, the black shade, and Blue Indigo, the blue one, and they reminded me of mellower versions of YSL Faux Cils because most of the volume-enhancement occurs at the roots and slowly tapers toward the tips.

Both colors have a gorgeous glossy finish — very shiny and smooth — without any bumps or clumps.

Buuuuut…I’m a greedy mascara kitty, and with PassionEyes, I find myself wanting more. More length, more curl, more lift. More — I don’t know — $32-caliber passion, I guess.

I can’t even see a big difference between the blue and black shades, much less the brown. Pretty or not, that’s not cool.

I mean, PassionEyes seems perfectly adequate for a natural lash look, or if you already have luscious, long lashes and merely crave more definition and a tad more length.

But it is $32…

And I have naturally wimpy lashes and need serious help in that department. I like big statement lashes, but PassionEyes is like a chaste peck on the cheek.

Yeah… Forget that. I want a wholly inappropriate, tongue-down-the-throat passion-fueled KISS! 🙂

Best if you like your lashes demure, or if you’re a Dolce & Gabbana die-hard fan.

PRICE: $32 each
AVAILABILITY: Available now online and at Dolce & Gabbana counters
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: C+

In oddly thrilling news (for me)…

I got cute curtains for my office!

I found these Amelie Scripted Curtains on pier1.com today, and get this — they were on SALE!

When it comes to home decorating, I figure I might as well focus on the parts of the condo I spend the most time in, right?

I don’t know… I’m perpetually lost when it comes to interior design.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Cute curtains! And your inappropriate kiss comment made me laugh. Yeah, I’m not wow’d by the D&G mascara pics either. I definitely crave much more volume and am less concerned with length. I’m going to have to stick with my Faux Cils (until I get to a Chanel counter to try Le Volume, of course). 🙂

    I love the way you look with makeup, but this look, with minimal to no makeup, is one of the prettiest looks I’ve ever seen on you.

    amazing how different mascara’s can be from person to person, on my lashes they create serious va va voom drama, but i indeed have many long lashes so most volume mascara’s create a mess on my lids. I have the brown one but might add the blue one to my stash.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
