Dolce & Gabbana Ruby Collection Blush in Peach: The Pit in This Peach Is a Beautiful Jewel

November 18th, 2011 by Karen 14 Comments

dolce & gabbana ruby collection peach blush (4)

If it weren’t for Dolce & Gabbana’s new $55 Ruby Blush in Peach, I’d feel (and kinda look) like a long lost member of the Village People in this coat.

One of seven limited edition pieces in Dolce & Gabbana’s new holiday 2011 collection (coming soon), the matte peachy pink blush evokes a timeless elegance more fitting of shift dresses, structured pocketbooks and patent-leather high heels than faux furs, feathers and Y.M.C.A.

Can’t you just see it with a crisp cat eye and a rich red lip?

SWOON! 🙂

The Dolce & Gabbana Ruby collection for holiday 2011 includes…

(Full reviews and pretty pictures coming soon!)

  • Ruby Lipsticks in Devil 220, Scarlett 195, Ultra 190, Ruby 180 and Iconic 210 ($37 each)
  • Ruby Eyeshadow in Femme Fatale 100 ($75)
  • Ruby Blush in Peach 20 ($55)

Dolce fans might recognize the packaging; it’s the same bejeweled compact from last year’s lovely Lip Jewels. Sure, it tacks $11 on top of Dolce’s already hefty $44 blush price, but it sure is an unmistakeable design.

Gaudy? Maybe, yeah, a little, but I think it’s gorgeous. Like a piece of art resting on a makeup counter (and almost as spendy).

That $55 price would buy a lot of tacos…but tacos can’t deliver a natural flush like this does. Peach is a splurge that has “I hit the pan” written all over it. 🙂

I think it’s also really easy to dress up or down, and the powder is so finely milled that it couldn’t be a whole lot easier to apply. Seriously, blending? What’s that?

PRICE: $55
AVAILABILITY: Coming soon to select Saks Fifth Avenue stores and saksfifthavenue.com
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: A- (it almost costs as much as jewelry!)

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    This color is gorgeous! Undecided about the packaging but if the product inside performs well then I don’t mind.

    Pretty shade, but $55 could buy a lot of feather cat teasers!

    Not feeling that compact, too bulky. But the blush is pretty on you. I like your fur collar jacket too!

    Beautiful shade and apparently the blush contains Peach Extracty which gives it that glowing look to the skin. Bella!

    I honestly think that if your tacos have enough spice, they might give you that natural flush you’re after. Although I doubt it’ll look anything but pretty with sweat dripping down your brow and crazy eyes. 😛

    While it’s a gorgeous shade (and so pretty on you!), I do think the packaging is on the tacky side and doubt I’d drop $55 for something I’d prefer to de-pan.

    Beautiful color, but ouch! That is a lot of tacos. I’m intrigued by the Femme Fatale eyeshadow ( I have a thing for film noir), but I don’t think I could bring myself to spend 75 on eyeshadow.

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).
