NARS new Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer is pretty amazing. I am generally not a TM fan, there's not enough coverage and too much moisture. Well NARS really gets it right. It's more like a BB . This has coverage, not as much as foundation but more than your average TM. It smooths and perfects with light coverage and just enough moisture to feel good but not too much. ( It's oil free). There's no shimmer but it gives you a great glow.
Good for skin ingredients include Galaxuara, a deep sea red algae known to be calcium rich and have vitamins A and E . Then there is SPF of 30 for high protection.
I have the shade Alaska which is the second lighest. It's almost too dark for me but I blend it in well and it looks fine and undectectable. It looks dark in my picture but it goes on a little lighter and does blend. The lightest shade , Finland, I was afraid would be too light. But as always test out what works for you, especially if you're in between shades like I seem to often be.
NARS has gone across the shade spectrum here with 9 in all so there should be one for every skintone.
Retail is $ 42 . More at www.narscosmetics.com

Pixi PixiGlow Palette and Nail Polish
Pixi's PixiGlow line is all about pretty makeup colors and Tinkerbell. The Fairy Face palette is for the pink lovers with with a shimmery medium pink blush , baked eyeshadows in shades of neutrals and pinks and a nice selection of lip colors. It's very girly , sweet and almost a little Victorian . If you love Disney ( and don't most of us?) it's one you 'll want . The eyeshadows go on really smoothly and the blush is a great shade that brightens and should work on most skintones.
My favorite item in the line is the nail polish. I think the bottle design is just too cute and despite not usually gravitating towards pink, I love the bubble gum pink shade. So spring like and sunny. It has a little shimmer but dries more satin .
The PixiGlow line is available at Target.com now and in Target stores in March.
Fairy Face Palette is $ 34.00
Pirouette Pink nail polish $ 8.00
Also in the line are a fab olive green eye pencil, a pale gold eyeshadow crayon and a highlighter liquid.

Carolee earrings on Revenge / Emily Thorne
Do you love Revenge? The TV show that is . I am totally into it. This week's episode was amaze but next weeks is the one we've been waiting for since day 1.
Did you notice those great earrings Emily had on at dinner? I did , and thought they were really nice , so I was surprised when the info on them landed in my inbox the next day.
Turns out they are from Carolee and are the Carolee LUX Art Deco Linear Gypsy Earrings. Carolee is always a great choice when you want big but elegant bling in costume jewelry. And if they're good enough for a multi-millionairess like Emily.... I may not want Emily's life, but I'll take her earrings ( the dress was rather nice too).
Retail is $95.00 at Bloomingdales.com
