Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSo far AMC has us pretty impressed with the shows they've produced. From Mad Men (just renewed for two more seasons of Don Draper!), with it's tightly wound plot and beautiful 1960s styling, to the addictive performances of Breaking Bad, the shows are so well done and all-engrossing. So we're looking forward to a new Sunday night addiction in The Killing.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAs the cold and drying winter weather comes to an end and we move into spring, our skincare needs change. That heavy moisturizer is no longer so necessary, and the thought of lightening up on our base sounds as appealing as the sunshine that's becoming our new best friend.

Called Touring America, the twelve shades range from light grays to deep purples, with some coral, taupe and fuchsia in between. There's also those cute OPI names, too, that cover common roadtrip ground like bumpersticker slogans, U.S. landmarks and the dreaded chant "Are we there yet?"
