Calling all nudists! Before you strip off your Gap baby T, please note that I’m talking about nudists, as in nude lips, not, um…actual nudists. 🙂
If you love a nude lip look, let Dolce & Gabbana’s new Caramel Ultra Shine Lipgloss ($30), released with the Sicilian Lace Collection for fall, whet your appetite. This creamy, medium-weight warm beige feels slightly sticky on my lips (but not as sticky as a MAC Lipglass) and has a light rose scent (it is unflavored, though).
I get about two and a half hours of color from Caramel when I wear her all by her lonesome. I bet she’d also look divine layered on top of a favorite nude lip liner, too… Can you imagine? — with sooty black smokey eyes? 
For $10 less ($20 instead of $30), Caramel would be the P.I.M.P. of nude glosses. If you like the look, she might make a nice splurge. Available at select Saks Fifth Avenue stores. Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: B+
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.S. Speaking of nudes, happy hump day! 🙂
I love this gloss 🙂 I want
It’s really cute on the lips, right?
Can you think of any cheaper dupes? I know it’s just a nude… but it looks really nice!
Hi Elaine,
Check out these Lipglasses from MAC: C-Thru, Chai and Revealing.
Thanks!
You’re welcome!
You might also want to check out Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss in Perfect Nude. It’s still a little pricey $20, but a great gloss!
Another great nude that actually looks much like the D&G is Victoria Secret Lip Gloss in Wet. Been wearing it for years, it’s the perfect juicy nude. 😉
O that look so good. But so much.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if it was $10 cheaper? Le sigh…
I know I would so get that, if it was. With my student budget I can only dream.
Yeah, that seems like too much to pay for a lip gloss. I’ve been enjoying the formula of the Estee Lauder Pure Color gloss for $10 less. It’s also less sticky than MAC, but the color selection is not as extensive.
Ooh, I just started wearing that gloss and I like it a lot! Estee Lauder’s really stepped it up in the last few years. 🙂
Looks gorgeous in the tube but a little too sheer for me.
The font though in your first pic is TDF!
Thanks! That’s my new scripty crush. 🙂
I’ve seen a really pretty one in The Body Shop (sorry I can’t recall the number) and also Barry M sells a good dupe (that tastes amazing, like caramel) for much cheaper prices
WANT.THIS.NOW.
I am pretty sensitive to certain glosses/brands so I’m a bit apprehensive on buying since Saks doesn’t have a great cosmetic return policy like Nordstrom or Macy’s.
It’s been a while since I’ve shopped there. Do they only do exchanges?
even i, self confessed hater of nude lipgloss, am tempted by this… but for something that im actually a self confessed hater of, its quite expensive… 😛 did that actually make sense?
LOL! 🙂
🙂
Hmm… I don’t know if I like how the colored settled into the lip lines. Although you are SO right about layering it over nude lipstick with a dark smoky eye. That sounds awesome right about now.
Yes! A deep, dark smokey eye with true black liner would be awesome with this!
Oh WOW – that is very pretty but I don’t think ANY gloss is worth $30! That’s insane!
It’s pretty typical for the line. I wouldn’t mind if they knocked a few bucks off though!
LOL @ nudes + hump day reference — thank you for cheering me up! Its been a goshdarned craycraycrayzy day here at work! 🙂
I am loving that Caramel gloss – so delectable. 😀
It has been crazy here too! I honestly think it has something to do with the planets!
The planets better get to their proper alignment before the weekend or else — my wallet will be sad because I will retail therapy myself into sense! LOL!
Holy smokes.. $30 for a lip gloss? I don’t know why this is such a surprise for me but… $30!?!
Yeah… that’s the world of luxury glosses for ya, le sigh.
although I’m not surprised that it’s 30 dollars….they should’ve put some real gold specs in it for it to be worth that much Lol. It does look really nice though 🙂
LOL… or maybe add caramel flavoring?
This gloss looks too sheer for my tastes but I agree it would look good layered on top of a nude liner. Still $30 for a gloss is crazy!
It’s a luxury line and priced similarly to Chanel…
Nossa que gloss caro!!!
Hi! I’m not sure what this means, but I hope it’s nice. 🙂
Great photos!
Thanks! 🙂
This isn’t carmel flavored? WHAT? That just seems wrong! It’s a bit too pricey for me. I like my glosses under $22 unless it has that something extra!
LOL, that would be AWESOME if it was.
I love this color… not the price though. In order for me to spend that much it better be off the chain!
I hear ya!
Not surprising that D&G is charging that much for it. Love the color but the only way I’d pay that much for a lipgloss is if I didn’t have to reapply it all day.
The price is pretty typical for the line — they charge similarly to Chanel.
Caramel is the perfect nude lipgloss,I luv it!!
I like it a lot too!
I got the call today,Bev Hills Saks has the Sicilian bronzer Yay!!
OH sweet! Are you going to get it?
This would look great over MAC’s High Tea, Freckletone or Rubia but it’s a bit too pricey.
The perfect dupe for this gloss would be ‘Kirk’ Pocket Rocket from Urban Decay…i think Kirk is even better! I am a gloss lover but even I wouldnt spend 30 freakin dollars on one gloss…great blog by the way.
this does look gorg…I just can’t allow myself the $30…that’s bananas
Wow beautiful color! if it smelled like caramel it would be awesome, I love caramel ! 🙂

Ooooo this is gorgeous! It would look great with the matching lipstick! Perfect for smokey eyes! Looks like it would look great on a wide range of skintones too! I wish it was flavored thought
