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

MAC Tread Gently & Hush Hush Tendertones from Cook MAC

Tread Gently, Hush Hush
 The new Tendertones are here at last. It was worth the wait. They are as delicious as always. These will be on counter The 9th and you may find them out now.

There are some tiny changes to the shades. Tread Gently is still described as lime green by MAC, which the original was ( but clear on lips) , the new one, or at least mine, is yellow. Hush Hush is sheer  deep gold  and both have  more shimmer than before. A good bit but it doesn't look overdone on the lips at all.


Purring is more bright  tangerine than before( but still very light on) and Hot n Saucy is the very same sheer red it was before . This one shows the most color on lips.

If you haven't tried these before, know that they are very moisturizing, taste awesome , sort of kiwi like, and have SPF 12. They are everyhting you could ever want in a balm except for that have to stick your finger in the pot thing.

$ 15.00

MAC Vera - Sunday Afternoon Pearlmatte Face Powder

Super pretty from MAC's Vera collection are the Pearlmatte powders. There are 2 shades and we've got Sunday Afternoon to look at. ( The other is Flower Fantasy).

 Even though this looks like it could be be blush it is pretty sheer and light. For the very pale , it  will work as a blush, otherwise it'll most likely be highlighter or for overall brightening.  The deepest shade you see, sort of a pink plum , is dark when you touch it, but blended all together these come out a  pearly  pale pink.

MAC Vera hits counters Feb. 16th and is LE.

Sunday Afternoon -Clean bright pink/bright clean fuchsia/soft pale pink with white pearl

Flower Fantasy- Pale coral with slight gold pearl/slightly blue pale pink/soft pale salmon

$ 28.00
