You are:

Lapis lazuli

My initials are "Y"

LL in Spanish is pronounced 'Y' (e.g. as in 'me llamo Stiv') - thanks to Stiv in the comments

My initial parts make a ditty sound

"La" is a common refrain in a ditty, as in "tra la la"

My first's first is once round

A "lap" is once around a track - thanks again to Stiv

My second's middle is blue

"Azul" means blue

My whole is blue, too

The lapis lazuli stone is a striking blue color

I'm in a pharaoh's gilded mask
Putting me there was no easy task

It was used as eyebrows in the funeral mask of Tutankhamun (per Wikipedia)

I ask you, who am I?
