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,

November 19th, 2011 at 8:53 amPretty shade, but $55 could buy a lot of feather cat teasers!

November 19th, 2011 at 11:09 amNot feeling that compact, too bulky. But the blush is pretty on you. I like your fur collar jacket too!

November 19th, 2011 at 12:05 pmBeautiful shade and apparently the blush contains Peach Extracty which gives it that glowing look to the skin. Bella!

November 19th, 2011 at 12:58 pmI 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.

November 19th, 2011 at 3:24 pmBeautiful 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.
