While in NYC going to the Dolce and Gabbana Beauty  counter at Saks was top on my list of beauty products to check out.   Having purchased a lipstick online that ended up being nothing like the color shown, I knew what to expect with the product quality and packaging, but taking a look at more of the line was a priority.

Shown above are the lip colors Soft (top) Classic Cream, and Drama (bottom) Shine.   I personally like the texture of the Classic Cream version better than the Shine version.  I also purchased the Luminous Cheek Color in the Delight shade.   It has become my go-to shade for blush when I want a powder blush.

Overall I really like the products (It’s exclusive to Saks) and the eye shadow shades are really quite gorgeous color combinations and the textures are velvety smooth.  Here’s one issue – the color names are so difficult to read that the sales associates even have trouble reading what color they are using.   The print is almost if it were gold on gold.

Speaking of gold – the packaging is shiny gold.   Everywhere gold.   Nice, classic, predictable.   Where’s the cheetah packaging?   C’mon Dolce & Gabbana – what is your iconic print – cheetah!   Please, I beg of you to add some fun to your collection and make some of the packaging in a cheetah print – even if it were to be a limited edition collection.   How fun would it be to pull a CHEETAH print compact out of your handbag! 

Give me a call when you’ve fullfilled my request.  ;)
