The Scarlet Season: Dolce & Gabbana Iconic Lipstick
Add D&G’s makeup range to just another luxe item I lust after. Make it completely and wholly unavailable to see in person, and you have one frustrated beauty addict! I was so excited to try out the new line earlier this fall, and I loved the feel of their lipsticks–particularly this lovely shade of orange-based red called Iconic. It’s a creamy, opaque formula with a glossy finish. I love that glossy sheen, because I’m not much of a matte-lips kind of girl, so I always end up adding gloss on top of a lipstick. However, with Iconic, I feel like it’s very wearable on its lonesome, just because it has a fantastic gloss finish.
The Scarlet Season is a series of posts showcasing and featuring my favorite shades of red lips–from glosses to lipsticks that runs through December 2009. You can sure expect to see a lot of red this holiday season!
See comparison shot…
I literally just got this lipstick in the mail today..and I loooove the color..but the scent is so strong and to me..unpleasant. I got caught up in the Saks F&M sales event that I bought two more lipsticks, yet to arrive..Dahlia and Devil. I think those two are E-bay bound!!
Oh no! That’s really too bad
WOW!!! Totally gorgeous color and finish! Must have! Can one get them in Canada?
ALso, what kind of smell are we talking about here? Is it at least a good (vanilla, flowery, minty, sweet) kind of smell as opposed to a bad one?
It’s a pretty strong powdery floral/rose scent. I mean, I’m super sensitive to smells so probably most people wouldn’t care.
Not sure! It’s more of a perfume-y scent… roses maybe? It’s not vanilla or minty to me. I knnow Saks sells them in the U.S.
i can’t decide whether to get this or chanel’s dragon. what are the differences in color?
This one is more orange!
Pretty, I actually like orange based reds more than blue. I find it more luxe and glamourous.
I think it just depends on the person! I just find I don’t look very good in orange-y shades!
This is looks like one of those perfect shades of red. I waaaaaant one…sadly I live on the wrong coast
Whoa, va va boom = speechless!
Haha
Yay!
