Amethyst, Ruby, Emerald and Topaz: A Jeweler’s Inventory, or the New Classic Cream Lipsticks in the Dolce & Gabbana Sicilian Jewels Collection

September 16th, 2013 by Karen 23 Comments

In the event you were wondering how it feels to wear green lipstick late on a Monday afternoon…

Dolce & Gabbana Classic Cream Lipstick in Emerald
Straaaange!

Emerald, one of four new Classic Cream Lipsticks in the eight-piece Dolce & Gabbana Sicilian Jewels holiday collection, is one of those colors that can look edgy and cute if you’re a teen or in your early 20s…but fast-forward a decade or two and it’s “Hello, Helena Bonham Crazy!”

The four jewel-toned lipsticks in the release ($35 each) are joined by four matching nail polishes, so yeah, while you’re sporting your funky green lip, you can also rock green claws/paws.

I think Emerald’s the most fashion-forward lippie in the collection by far (I’ve yet to see the nail polishes up close and personal), and to truly pull it off, you either have to be a villain from the Harry Potter movies or a 6-foot-tall model stomping down a runway in Milan.

Or something like that.

Who cares though? It’s still fun. 🙂

The other lipsticks seem pretty tame by comparison. Red Ruby, purple Amethyst and amber Topaz take a more classic route.

All four medium-coverage lippies have the lightweight, slick texture of other Classic Creams and Dolce & Gabbana’s signature rose flavor and scent.

Like the precious gemstones they’re named after, these will be sparkling on Dolce & Gabbana counters in Saks Fifth Avenue stores and computer monitors (when they’re available online) this November.

Quick survey: do you think you’d ever wear Emerald?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Fellow Walking Dead fans, guess what? MORE ZOMBIES!! World War Z!

    LMAO at “Helena Bonham Crazy!”

    I could actually see that emerald lipcolor looking really cool on someone with a very, very dark complexion. On me, however…. yeah, I’ll stick with the nail polish!

    HOLY MOLY.

    GREEN LIPSTICK! That just made my day. HAHA.

    I simply wouldn’t wear a color that outrageous unless I am super pale and it’s Halloween.

    Emerald is CRAY . It seems perfect for a Halloween look . Haha .

    Topaz would look beautiful layered on top of lipsticks , especially red !

    I love Topaz, and the packaging with the gems on the caps is way too up my alley- I just had a royal-themed bday party (not to rave about it in the comments, but it was jewel-encrusted EVERYTHING with acrylic gems and my hot glue gun!!) So it will be hard for me to resist either the Amethyst, Ruby, or Topaz.

    Bejewelled lips! I am surprised Amethyst turned out looking good– i normally wouldn’t even swatch that kind of colour on the tube.

    I couldn’t stop smiling at the ‘Hello, Helena…’ line. You are waaay beyond cute!

    If I had just seen it in the tube, then no way, but after seeing it on you, maybe.

    These looks so cool in the tube, but would I actually wear emerald lipstick? Probably not.

    Ruby looks alright. The others just make me cringe… Maybe I am just a pussy, lol.

    That is too funny about Helena crazy. You’re right, though. That totally looks like something she would wear! Actually, I think you pull it off quite well, too. It looks more like a gray on my screen, so slightly more elegant than She-Hulk. 🙂

    This post shows why I love beauty blogs. Emerald lipstick? Never even considered it…and I still never will. Love looking at the photos though. The other colors all looked lovely on you! I agree with your assessment of the Emerald. Depends on the look you’re aiming for…

    You pull off Emerald surprisingly well! As well as one can pull off green lipstick anyway. . .I love the look of the Ruby one though. Very very pretty.

    I actually really like Emerald on you! I like the other colors too, but they’re not so edgy and are more basic colors. I don’t think I’d wear it on a regular day at work, but when I’m going out to a nightclub party here in Holland…. yeah I think I would.

    Hmmm…. the green is not flattering but surprisingly the others are! However, I think that’s just on you. YOU can wear anything. Me? Um… not so.

    I’m not tempted by any of these (i favor pinky lipsticks), but I LOVE the jewel design on the packaging!

    I would totally wear Emerald, but I like weird lipstick colors! Why not have fun with makeup, right? 🙂

    The only shade I see myself wearing is Ruby! I wish these were more pigmented though. If I were ever to sport a green lip, I’d want it to be richer and darker!

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).
