Review: Revlon Cherries in the Snow Lipstick

*Purchased by me*

Hi Guys!

I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving celebration. The Hubs, little Tot, and I had an awesome time gorging and hanging out with the family. Today I wanted to talk about the newest addition to my lipstick stash and that is Revlon's Cherries In The Snow. This iconic lipstick was first released in 1953 and it's original ad featured one of the world's first modeling icon, Dorian Leigh. Cherries In The Snow is part of Revlon's Super Lustrous line and falls under the "creme" category.  I wore this for the first time for Thanksgiving and immediately fell in love with it.

A few words came to mind as soon as I applied it onto my lips; creamy, extremely pigmented, no weird makeup scent (I'm side eyeing you Maybelline!!) and bold! I love it so much. On me this looks like a bright but wearable Fuchsia. It does leave an even stain behind on the lips as it fades so no need to worry about the dreaded lined lips look when it is gone. Formula felt nice and hydrating while on the lips; didn't dry out during wear time. Overall, this was a great find. It's a nice Fuchsia that totally perks up the face. Great for an everyday look all year around but I especially adore it for the holidays since I'm a Fuchsia lover at heart.
(Natural lighting): Top swatch consists of one swipe and the bottom swatch consists of three. Pretty, right?!?

And here are a few FOTN shots of me wearing this guy on Thanksgiving Day.

Personal Goals

Image
Like most people at the beginning of this year, I had set up to accomplish some goals. But unlike past years, I wanted to aim for more tangible feats that have been on my to do list forever now but were always pushed to the back burner due to having misaligned priorities and bad time management. Because I've grown to be more self aware of my patterns and behaviors, I've decided that this year I was going to reattempt some of my past goals and create habits to help keep my short term actions aligned with my long term values and beliefs. First thing I did in the beginning of 2019 was restart my blog. Writing for me has always been way I could express my thoughts and emotions through words. Back in 2016, I created a personal bullet journal to document and track my progress and experience in my new role as a cosmetic counter manager for the Downtown Seattle Nordstrom. My bullet journal became my baby during that period - I couldn't go a day without updating...

Anticipation

Image: Courtesy of Elite Fitness It is currently 7am on February 2nd and I'm sitting at my dining table having breakfast with my husband. We both like to get up early and sip our coffees together while we chat before our daughter gets up. I cherish these moments I have with my husband because it is during these chats is when we take time to reminisce on our past and plan out our futures together. At the moment, the Winter season is still in full gear in the Pacific Northwest and that takes away the fun from being outside. The forecast actually indicates that we'll have a couple frosty days with highs in the mid 30s degree F and lows in the mid 10s. So Cold!!! I'm really excited for the Spring and Summer seasons to arrive because that is when this whole region comes to life - literally. The Everett Farmers Market will commence once again starting in May and for once I'm actually be looking forward to my birthday month - July; I can finally start enjoying my spring ...

Moments...Part 1 Update

Image
It's been some time since my last post but I'm back and ready to blog regularly again. Today is Sunday, Sept 08, 2019, and I'm sitting at my dining room table on my laptop while my husband and daughter are in the living room catching up on our favorite family past time, The Flash. As I sit here sipping on my cup of coffee, I start to reflect on all the amazing moment I got to experience during these last few months. I feel so lucky and blessed to be living the life I'm living : gratitude and appreciation towards all of life's gifts and lessons have opened up my heart and eyes to new and exciting possibilities. Back in the beginning of April, during Alaina's Spring Break, Alaina and I flew down to LA to visit family. Due to the longer than normal Winter frost we were experiencing up here, I was super excited to soak in some SoCal sun and see the palm trees once again. This trip helped me realized many things and opened up my conscious to the reali...
