Actor Theo James is the face of Dolce & Gabbana’ Actor Theo James is the face of Dolce & Gabbana’s latest Light Blue Pour Homme edition, this one called Blue Capri. It is a spicy-magnetic eau de parfum for him composed by perfumer Alexandra Carlin. What’s particularly interesting about this version is that it strays from the citrus-themed formulas of the past opening with spicy black pepper, sweet green fig and dries down with patchouli. It comes in a beautiful bottle design, a traditional Sicilian motif. At Sephora and Shoppers.
It’s summer movie blockbuster season and Rihanna It’s summer movie blockbuster season and Rihanna is capitalizing on the new Smurfs movie launching July 18th with a limited edition Fenty x Smurfs makeup collection. (She’s one of the producers of the animated film so the collaboration makes total sense.) You can now indulge your 80s nostalgia with a Fenty Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick in shade ‘Smurf’Melon’, a two-piece Mushroom Makeup Sponge, a Fairy Bomb Smurfette Daisy Flower Shimmer Puff in shade ‘Smurf’Sugar’ or a Smurfette Smooches Lip Essentials Duo and keychain. Available at Sephora while supplies last. #davelackiebeauty
When it comes to limited edition summer makeup col When it comes to limited edition summer makeup collections, NARS always delivers eye-popping colour in great packaging. And summer 2025 doesn’t disappoint with a pair of Hot Escape Cheek and Face Palettes that feature blush, bronzer and highlighter shades inspired by the South of France. The palette contains matte and shimmer finishes to deliver true-colour payoff. I’m loving the cabana stripe packaging. So fun. I interviewed Francoic Nars years ago and he was the most gentle, sweet man. #davelackiebeauty

Here’s a really interesting fact about sunscreen Here’s a really interesting fact about sunscreen protection. I remember when I was editor of Cosmetics magazine and I would see sunscreens promoted as ‘waterproof’ – mainly sport versions. The term is no longer used due to misleading implications: no sunscreen is truly waterproof. Instead, you will now see the term ‘water-resistant’. This refers to the duration of effectiveness of the sunscreen when exposed to water or sweat. Water-resistant sunscreen is designed to stay effective for a specific amount of time while wet, typically 40 or 80 minutes. After that time, you need to reapply. Remember, when you are in water, the UV rays can be amplified and they can reflect causing UV rays to reach parts of your body that don’t usually get sun damage. Best to be extra careful when swimming or exercising outside. #davelackiebeauty #ombrelle #sunprotection
What's my very favourite men's fragrance in my war What's my very favourite men's fragrance in my wardrobe right now? James by Atkinsons. It's a remarkable scent -  a woody-amber-spicy scent for him or her that pays homage to James Atkinsons who founded the brand in 1799. It’s a rich, noble fragrance with a charming character thanks to a blend of fresh citrus, interesting spices and earthy vetiver. The white flower notes perfectly balance the musk. This fragrance was awarded men’s fragrance of the year in 2023 by Marie Claire magazine in France. It is worth the trip to Holts to smell it. #davelackiebeauty
