The iridescent purple and shimmery reddish copper of the Dolce & Gabbana Smooth Eye Colour Duo in Blossom are so bright that they should have come with shades! Expensive ones ($36 for two shadows, oy vey!).
One of 10 powder eyeshadow duos in the company’s permanent line, Blossom lights up lids like a double rainbow all the way across the sky. 
I used to love this show…
These brights pack pigment worthy of a capital WHOA! But they aren’t just vivid; they manage to look soft at the same time.
With a good base (today I used Urban Decay Eden), Blossom also appears to stand the test of time. Almost 7 hours so far and the colors are still going strong. 🙂
Now, if we start a write-in campaign and get Dolce & Gabbana to put these on sale every once in a while, we’ll be set! Available at Saks Fifth Avenue stores and online at saksfifthavenue.com. Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: A

That’s so cool. I wonder if she keeps in touch with Joey, LOL!
Oh my goodness, those colors are HAWT.

Dolce & Gabbana makes some crazy pigmented colors!
Everyone deserves a rainbow, dontcha think? 😀
Love the look and of course, love the shadow. That pink is calling my name out …
Oh and I finally got a tube of UDPP Eden — may I just say thank you for the reco — I LOVE IT! 🙂
YES!! I’m glad you like it. It’s so much better than the original one in the purple bottle, right?
Totally yes! Its now my fave primer … 🙂
Lovelove! Plus I have a feeling it makes eyeshadows last EVEN longer than the original and Sin. 🙂
TOTALLY! And it’s much easier to blend shadows w/the new one too!
you have the perfect skin tone for those eyeshadow colours. if i used the reddish copper shade, i’d look like i had an allergic reaction. :p

Hi Dani,
I’m that way with certain reddish purples. When I wear them I look like I’ve been crying. I guess everyone has those certain colors, ya know?
Dayum girl that’s bright!
Speaking of udpp, I used it today when I copied your benefit look. Did my makeup about 12 hours ago and it’s still going strong after working and then standing outside for 2.5 hours in 95 degree heat after someone hit my car 🙁
Yay for your makeup but BOOOO for someone hitting your car. Are you okay?
Yeah luckily I am fine. Just annoyed that I have to deal with this on top of everything else 🙁
It is annoying (I’ve been there… more than once!), for sure. But the important thing is you’re okay!
Wow, love those vivid eye colors! I also love your bright pink lip color in this look — may I ask what you’re wearing?
Hey Martha,
I used a mix of three things:
Dolce & Gabbana Provocative Lipstick
Dolce & Gabbana Shocking Lipstick
LipFusion Princess

you look so good in these colors!
I, on the other hand, would look like an albino rabbit.
Ooh, you’ve gotta try the purple shade, at least! You never know… it might look really hot on you. 🙂
Hot diggity, those are bright. I could do the purple, but I am not brave enough for that pink, not even on the weekend!

Hi Noemii,

Happy Friday!

Hi Karen B,
Sometimes it’s fun to mix it up with color. Happy Friday!
Love the lips on you…but the eye shadow? Nope…but I wouldn’t like that on anyone. Please go back to the pretty eye looks you’ve been showing us lately!
Hi Bisbee,
I realize the look might not be for everyone, but I like to throw in things for the people who love their brights every once in a while.
Have a great Friday!
That is super bright and gorgeous – I’m in love with the purple! You pull it off so well!
.-= Rachel Taninecz’s last blog post… A Diva is a female version of a Hustler =-.
Thanks Rachel!
The lilac colour is lovely, it reminds me of MAC’s Lotusland.
.-= amy’s last blog post… Summer of Love with The Body Shop Love ETC eau de Parfume =-.
That’s my favorite shade from this duo.
LOVEEEEE. Oh man… those colors are hot on you! The swatch on the left reminds me of UD Fishnet. That color on the right would make me look like one of those albino bunnies!
Ha, I have certain colors like that too, namely reddish purples!
Oh my god you look so pretty with this look 🙂 !
Thanks, Iram. Do you wear bright eyeshadows often?
Great to see you wearing brights again! This is gorgeous 🙂

Brights are fun! 🙂 Hope you’re having a good weekend.
That purple is awesome! Is that shade similar to MAC Stars n’ Rockets?
