Benefit You Rebel and You Rebel Lite Tinted Moisturizer

I've been all about minimal coverage lately, especially after I worked my way through a couple of You Rebel samples. It's exactly what you'd expect a tinted moisturizer to be: light, kind to your face and give an even finish. The added SPF 15 is definitely a bonus.

Once I was done with the samples and ready to buy a tube, I discovered (the hard way) that You Rebel comes in two colors, regular and light. Surprisingly enough, the one I loved and have used for weeks was the Light. Doesn't make any sense, if you consider my complexion is anything but porcelain. However, you can't argue with the facts: Light melted right into my skin and looked nice and natural, while the regular one made me look related to George Hamilton.

Adding just a drop of the regular You Rebel to a normal dose of Light was perfect in the summer, but now I'm back to just Light. It works well with most primers, and while it doesn't last more than 8 hours, that's quite good for tinted moisturizer.

You Rebel and You Rebel Light ($30) are available from Sephora and BenefitCosmetics.Com

Bobbi Brown Metallic Lip Color

Just like with her metallic eye shadows from last year, Bobbi Brown shows the world how to do light shimmery colors. The metallic lipsticks are pretty and elegant. The pearly finish is understated and reflects light in a very flattering way. The formula is rich and silky, easy to wear but not very long lasting.

My color of choice is Plum, which packs enough pigment to look dressy and sophisticated, but is easy to wear during the day. As you can see, I'm not the only fan of this color in our house.

Bobbi Brown Metallic Lip Color ($22) is available from BobbiBrownCosmetics.com and every Bobbi Brown counter at fine department stores. I bought mine at my local Bloomingdale's.

In Her Shoes

I know this is probably not the best way to start your week, but on the other hand, why not have a good laugh?

Posh is bringing being a fashion victim to a new level while promoting the latest Beckham perfume. I don't want to know how her feet smell inside whatever it is that she's wearing.
