NARS Spring 2016 Color Collection Nouvelle Vogue.

I love seeing all of the new spring makeup collections because it means that the warmer weather can't be far behind. Even though we haven't had a really touch winter hear, I can't wait for spring and the spring collection really get me excited. The NARS spring color collection, named Nouvelle Vogue, is a pretty one that features a mix of roses and neutrals with a kick of brights in rich textures. It's very resort like and perfect to wear right now.

NARS Nouvelle Vogue contains the following products:

Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow - $29

• Tarvos - Icy Mint
• Cressida - Shimmering midnight blue
• Kari - Soft rose pink

Lip Gloss - $26

• Instant Crash - Soft shimmering apricot
• Vida Loca - Guava

Lipstick - $28

• Rosecliff - Soft rose
• Banned Red - Mulled wine

Duo Eyeshadow - $35

• Hammamet - (L): Matte beige (R): Bronzed rose

Blush - $30

• Impassioned - Pink orchid

The products I have are all pretty neutral, of course. I have the Hammamet Duo Eyeshadow, the Lipstick in Rosecliff and Lip Gloss in Instant Crash and all of them are really me.

The Hammamet Duo Eyeshadow features two shades of shadow, one matte and one shimmery bronze. The matte shade is a nice medium beige tone that looks nice all over the lid. I paired it with NARS' Abyssinia on my brow bone then used the beige shade on the lid. I used the rosey bronze shade from the right side of the compact into the outer corner of my lid and then smudged it into my crease and lower lash line for a romantic smokey look.

Rosecliff Lipstick is the perfect soft rose lipstick. It leaves just a hint of rose, but is like a nude rose with a soft satin finish. I like layering the Instant Crash Lip Gloss over it for sure. Instant Crash is a barely there nude shimmer with a hint of peach to it.

The NARS Nouvelle Vogue Spring Color Collection is available now at narscosmetics.com and in Sephora and all NARS counters in department stores like Nordstrom and Bloomingdales.

Currently Obsessed: RevelationsRX for Younger Looking Skin Now.

SPONSORED

Have you figured out that I am really obsessed with my skin and skin care lately? I don't know if I am overly obsessed because of the cold winter weather and my skin is super dry and looking older than ever or maybe it's that I am in my forties and I am getting older. All I know is that I am constantly on the hunt for the best skin care products to help get my skin into optimum condition and looking younger. My latest discovery is RevelationsRX by Nuvesse Skin Therapies and this is a brand that you need to know about.

RevelationsRX is all about really advanced skincare products and that's because all RevelationsRX products are able to deliver up to 26x more ingredients into the skin’s deepest layers — that's so much more than your average skin care products. I've been using the brands skin therapy serums, which come in both daily Serum rollers and weekly serum infused masks and my skin is looking better then ever.

You know I love a mask and I always incorporate a mask into my weekly Sunday night spa night and RevelationsRX has four serum infused masks which, of course, I've tried all.

Deep Hydrating & Brightening Face Mask - This mask hydrates instantly with Hyaluronic Aid, brightens and evens skin tone with Vitamin C and smooths and refreshes, leaving it overall more radiant.

Firming & Anti-Aging Face Mask - This mask helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with Copper Peptides as it hydrates the skin with Hyaluronic Acid to leave it super soft and smooth.

Anti-Aging & Fine Lines Eye Mask - This mask helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. It hydrates with Hyaluronic Acid and brightens and refreshes with antioxidants Vitamins A & C.

Tired Eyes, Puffiness & Dark Circles Eye Mask - This eye mask helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and wrinkles around the eyes as it instantly reduces puffiness. It also smooths and hydrates the delicate skin with Hyaluronic Acid.

My favorite mask is probably the Deep Hydrating & Brightening Face Mask and I'm obsessed with both of the eye masks too. If I could use those everyday, I would be very happy and my skin would definitely be thanking me!

As my skin has been so dry lately, the extra infusion of Hyaluronic Acid in the Deep Hydrating & Brightening Face Mask really helps to hydrate and soothe my skin. I feel the difference immediately. The Vitamin C helps to brighten my skin and that is something that is noticeable as soon as I remove the mask as well. It's almost as if I went and had a 90-minute facial and paid $$$ for it — it's that effective. I really am obsessed.

Both the Anti-Aging & Fine Lines Eye Mask and Tired Eyes, Puffiness & Dark Circles Eye Mask are super nourishing and work immediately to relieve the aging issues around my eyes. As soon as I remove the biocellulose eye masks, these feel like a thick gel-mask, my eye area is so smooth. The masks instantly reduce puffiness and brighten up the area. I swear that the lines around my eyes are softened more and more each time I use one.

RevelationsRX works quickly, achieving visibly smoother and more radiant skin with one 20-minute mask use. I saw the results. The products work so well because RevelationsRX products use patented Cellulation™ Technology, which helps to deliver up to 26x more active ingredients below the skin’s surface, where many skin issues and signs of aging begin.  RevelationsRX was created by Nuvesse Skin Therapies who first discovered this penetration technology in wound healing science. They put it to work in their serums where it just works phenomenally well. I don't know about you, but if I can deliver ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamins A, C, E and powerful peptides among many other ingredients that are proven to work deeper into the layers of my skin, I am going to use it.

For everyday, I have been using RevelationsRX daily Serum rollers, twice a day. These are super convenient and I love the rollerball packaging because I can use them on-the go. While you might think that is odd, you won't when you hear about the eye serum and you are battling tired eyes.

Like the RevelationsRX masks, there are four daily Serum rollers that do the same as the masks.

Deep Hydrating & Brightening Serum

Firming & Anti-Aging Serum

Tired, Puffiness & Dark Circles Eye Serum

Anti-Aging & Fine Lines Eye Serum

Obviously, I am using these serums daily, twice a day as I see fit, based upon my skins needs. I simply roll the serum over my skin to deliver the ingredients into my skin as I would a normal serum. Where the uniqueness comes in, is with the eye serums and rollerball packaging. I have been toting around the Tired Eyes, Puffiness & Dark Circles Eye Serum and using this a few times during the day when I'm not feeling my best or need a little perking up. This serum roller has been a life saver! When I apply this serum directly to the skin around my eyes, my eye area is instantly smoothed out as puffiness is decreased and I look more refreshed in a few seconds. It's like a quick-pick-me-up.

All of these products are available on RevelationsRX.com.

Boost Your Blonde with Clairol Shimmer Lights.

Being a not-so-natural blonde takes a lot of maintenance. If you are like me and lighten your hair, you know that the struggle is real! Blonde hair and highlights take work in between appointments. Blonde hair can dull, fade, turn brassy and if you go in the pool or use the wrong products, it can even turn shades of green or orange. I've been using just one product that is helping me boost my blonde (or refresh it) by using it just one or twice a week.

I've simply been replacing my normal shampoo with Clairol Shimmer Lights Shampoo once or twice a week to refresh my blonde hair while enhancing my highlights. The formulation is specially colored to balance pigment and to help condition and add much-needed moisture, vibrancy and luminosity to my color-treated hair.

The shampoo is violet colored so don't let that shock you, but that's how it works. It's gentle, but only designed to be used once or twice a week or it can discolor your hair. I use it once a week in the winter, but twice a week in the summer when I'm in the sun more and it's subject to turning too brassy.

Clairol Shimmer Lights is not only great for blondes, it is made for gray hair too. The formula is made to do so much:

• tone down brassiness
• renew and refresh faded highlights and ash-tones
• reduce the visible green shade which can be deposited on blonde hair by excessive amounts of chlorine
• remove dull yellow from gray/white hair
• leave hair shiny without residue

Look for Clairol Shimmer Lights at professional beauty supply stores like Sally Beauty Supply. It comes in two sizes, 8oz and 16oz starting around $6.
