Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Refreshing Body Gel

When I first fell in love with Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Perfume, I knew right away that I wanted to stock up on everything, and anything that I could find that was made using the Light Blue scent.

I was able to find a slew of products, and Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Refreshing Body Gel was one of them.

The Refreshing Body Gel is a little less expensive than the body cream, so if you are in the market for a body lotion/cream, I'd recommend the body gel, simply because it is nearly $20.00 cheaper.

It comes in a 6.7 ounce squeeze tube, and features the very same Light Blue scent that fans already know and love.

I however wouldn't necessarily label this one a gel, because in reality it is more like a more runny type of lotion. It is semi trasnparent white, and works in the same manner body lotion would work.

You do have to be careful though, because the smallest squeeze will release a ton of the gel. It is very runny, so I recommend just tipping it over, and the gel will run out of the top for you.

I usually apply it directly after a shower, using Light Blue Shower Gel. I layer them for longer lasting scent.

The 'gel' absorbs super quickly, and will be dry on skin in a matter of just a few seconds.

I love the scent, it has the same cedar wood and citrus scent that it's sister perfume does. Sadly though, if you don't layer this body gel with the perfume, it will not last as long. It still has long lasting scent. But I find that you get more when you layer.

Overall:

For me Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Refreshing Body Gel is a really nice product. It's a nice kick of energy for after a shower, absorbs fast, and leaves behind a gorgeous layer of the Light Blue scent.

Dolce and Gabanna Light Blue Deodorant For Women

I should have known that after the bad experience I had with Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Deodorant Spray, that the Deodorant Stick would likely be just as bad. Seeing how it only came to around $18.00 for a 1.7 ounce stick though, I went ahead and ordered it on Amazon.

I won a e-certificate to the site, so I figured even if the deodorant sucked, it was free either way.

I didn't realize how small the deodorant would be when it got to my house. On the site it looked like a standard bar of deodorant...but in my hands it looked like one of those trial sized sticks. I was a bit disappointed. I mean come on, $18.00, and this is it!?

I popped off the lid, and raised the deodorant up using the dial located at the bottom. The deodorant was a clear gel solid. I hate gel deodorants, and seeing how it was so tiny, I was feeling less and less confident in my purchase.

The scent though was 100% true to the Light Blue scent. It had that same cedar wood fragrance that I LOVE about Light Blue. A tint of citrus, you can't go wrong!

I applied some of the deodorant under my arms, and let my day begin.

As the day wore on, I was able to smell my own body odor mixing with the Light Blue scent under my arms. Combined it created a scent all its own. It was not a bad scent, but it also was not Light Blue any more.

So far, the deodorant was too small, too expensive, and did squat for odor protection. But then it gets worse, my pits eventually began to sweat. Not just small drops of sweat, but enough sweat to make me hate the deodorant more and more. It was pretty dang gross!

Overall:

It's just a shame, because the deodorant initially makes you smell really nice. Too bad though that it does not last.

I still use it, however, I first put on my regular deodorant, and then add the Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Deodorant on top of that for the scent.

It works this way quite well. Unfortunately it does not work well at all on its own.
