Although her line has just launched its first color products in August 2024, with four luscious, bedazzled rhinestone lipsticks and now (just released) bedazzled glosses and lip liners, I decided we should have a thread dedicated to the beauty line from icon and national treasure, Dolly Parton! I have some more details and images posted on my blog (makeuphappyhour dot com) but wanted to have a regular thread over here, even though Dolly Beauty is not sold at Sephora (maybe some day!)
Anyway, please post your product pics, looks, swatches, questions, brand updates, Dolly merch, and just general Dolly love and/or news here! Please tag anyone who might be interested.

Dolly Beauty - A Little Over The Top, but Awesome (would not expect any less)!
Her beauty line has just launched its first color products in August 2024, with four luscious, bedazzled rhinestone lipsticks. I already loved Dolly so much, and then I made a trip to Dollywood for my goddaughter's graduation celebration and I couldn't love her more. She really has an amazing story of courage, ambition, talent, positivity, love, and giving back to her community. We stayed at the Dollywood Dreamland Resort, courtesy of my goddaughter's mom and sweet best friend since first grade, and we would all go back in a heartbeat. Dollywood itself has amazing rides, incredible food and so may cute little photo ops and Dolly-themed shows and stories about her life. Highly recommend!
I also featured Dolly in the Re: Makeup Challenge of the Week 2021/2022 Thread during
Week 13 (March 17-23): Dolly Week! Anything inspired by the Americaโs darling, Dolly Parton!
Anyway - ON TO THE BEAUTY!
First Released, Dolly Beauty Perfumes
When her first fragrance was released several years ago, my best friend sent me the roller ball of Dolly's Scent From Above Eau de Parfum. It's a powdery, slightly fruity and woodsy floral. Because I'm not usually a powdery fragrance fan, if it wasn't Dolly's, I admit I might not choose it, but because it is hers, I love it! I also have 4 body mists that don't appear on the site now.
Heaven's Kiss Lipsticks
I bought the four new lipsticks when they were first released. There was a bundle which gave a 10% ($2) discount on each lipstick, bringing the price for each down from $20 to $18. That bundle is not on the site at the moment, probably because the nude shade, Birthday Suit, is sold out. presumably, when that shade is restocked, the bundle will be too. The tubes themselves are bedazzled with sparkling rhinestones, and have a push button mechanism on the top that, when pressed, pops out the lipstick tube from the bottom. The tubes are not super heavyweight, but the sparkle gives a luxe vibe. Not necessarily luxe like a super high end brand like Gucci or Dior, etc., but still luxe, sparkly and pretty. The lipstick itself has an embossed signature butterfly, and has a very distinct fruity floral scent, which dissipates after application, but is definitely very noticeable when applying.
The shades are all good on my skintone. I was especially impressed with Jolene Red - stays on and leaves a beautiful stain as it wears down (after a long time) or when blurred/smudged intentionally. Birthday Suit is a remarkably lovely nude when most nudes leave me looking mostly or all the way dead.
*NEW* Glosses and Lip Liners
Just this week, I saw Dolly launched the glosses and lip liners. There are three shades of each. The glosses have a bedazzled cap. There are some bundles - I ended up purchasing the 3-lip gloss bundle and one lip liner. I'll report back once I get them!
Future Makeup Releases
From what I understand, the lipsticks are just the beginning of the Dolly Beauty makeup line offerings. In an instagram reel (see screenshot below), I see what looks like a rhinestone compact and another gold-stamped tube that could be the handle of a brush or maybe something else. So, we will just have to wait and see what's next from this amazing icon of beauty and kindness!
