So after months of anticipation, I finally got a chance to check out Dolce & Gabbana’s new makeup line. Unfortunately there’s not much pictures to show as I have a fear of being beaten up by security guards, but read on!
My first attempt to get photos and swatches was at La Rinascente in Milan. I happily walked in, snapped this photo, and got kicked out of the building from a security guard screaming in Italian. I should’ve gotten the hint from that death stare the sales lady was giving me! Unfortunately that was the extent of my D&G makeup fix in Milan.
I tried again in London at Selfridges, but this time I was a little more clever – I positioned Christine so I was out of view from a security guard – however I only got one photo because the sales lady were all at the main area! I did my best, I guess. :(
Overall, I’m a little underwhelmed by the whole line. As you can see, the collection included the usual such as eyeliner, eyeshadow duos, blush, lipstick, lip glosses and powder. I really wish they could have started with something new, just to start the brand off, but every product was pretty much everything you already have in your bag. Safe to say that both Christine and I were not really interested in even trying anything, so we went straight to NARS (muahaha!).
However, their lipstick has tons of shades so perhaps that is one of their star products. I’ll keep a look out in the future, but for now; makeup wise, I think I’m gonna pass. (Still love their perfume and fashion, though!)
Has anyone had the chance to try out the new D&G makeup line? What do you think? Am I the only one who’s not really interested? Let me know! :)
P.S. Am I going to get in trouble for posting pictures? I haven’t seen any online so perhaps they have certain laws against it, since I wasn’t allowed to take photos in there. Please, please, please tell me if you know anything and I’ll take the pictures down immediately!
Dolce and Gabbana recently revealed they’d be releasing their very first makeup line, and here’s the very first images! And yes, that’s Scarlett Johanssen advertising for them – so I was right! ;)
The line includes 110 products, packaged in glossy gold.

Dolce & Gabbana are releasing their very first makeup line at the end of January, 2009.
Collaborated with Procter & Gamble Prestige Products and makeup artist Pat McGrath, who works the makeup at the D&G fashion shows, the line has been in the making for several years.
YES!! I cannot wait! I’m really excited that Italian fashion houses are starting to carry makeup lines (Like Giorgio Armani), and D&G is one of my favorite brands (to look at of course, as if I can afford all that! :-P)
Also, Light Blue is one of my favorite beauty products design-wise. If their makeup packaging is anywhere as classy as their designs of their fragrances, you can bet I will go crazy and want everything available just because it looks nice. (Sigh, and I studied marketing – I should know better!)
A rumored Hollywood star is set to be the face of the makeup line. I have a sneaky feeling it is Scarlett Johansson, who has recently shot a campaign for the brand, though details of the shoot are unknown right now.
Update: The latest images and more info has been released!
(Above are two of my favorite makeup looks D&G recently showcased on their runways, from Style.com)
Though Light Blue is quite an old fragrance, it has been “re-released” with this new ad campaign and we’ve been seeing them everywhere and thought that some readers might be interested in buying them! :)
Light Blue brings back a lot of memories – at 15 years old, it was my very first perfume I ever wore, after seeing it advertised in a magazine as one of those fragrance strips. I loved the clean, fresh scent straight away from the sample strip, and immediately asked it for Christmas!
A stunning perfume, overwhelming and irresistible like the joy of living.
The liveliness of Sicilian citron, the happiness of Granny Smith apple, the spontaneity of bluebells.
Feminine and resolute: the intensity of jasmine, the freshness of bamboo, the charm of white rose.
This is great for an everyday fragrance – it’s a very citrus, crisp fragrance. It also has a little musk in it so that the citrus and apply smell doesn’t smell too much like a detergent, which some citrus fragrances end up smelling.
Notes include Sicilian Citron, Bluebell, Granny Smith Apple, Jasmine Sambac, Bamboo, White Rose, Cedar wood, Amber, Musk. Also, the light blue cap on the perfume bottle fits the scent perfectly and the whole bottle is simple, yet so stunning.
Though this fragrance has had a reputation with you either love it or hate it, but I definitely LOVE it! (And if you hate it, you might like The Scent of Peace – quite similar to Light Blue, but less ‘airy’.)
This is one of the top 10 selling women fragrances in the US and Europe. Do you own this fragrance? What do you like most about it?
