I didn't know cherries in the snow is a type of dessert until very recently.
To me, Cherries in the snow always has been the legendary retro red color from Revlon. :)

They look so good!
I am going to try this for myself before spring comes. :)
Revlon Cherries in the snow was introduced in 1953 featuring Dorian Leigh (she was one of the first super models in the world!) and it was a cult favorite during the 50's.

Russian Navy is another OPI classic from the legendary "Russian Collection" of Fall 2007.
The whole collection is amazing but this deep navy with subtle shimmer is especially gorgeous!

This was gifted from one of my students' parent a while ago, otherwise I would have not known there is a lipstick like this. ;)
In fact, I am glad she gave me this since it is a quite nice lipstick and I don't own many long-lasting kinds. :)

Avene Retinaldehyde range is one of my skincare favorites.
I find myself keep coming back to this range although I am the kind of person who is always curious and eager to try new things!

Amazon's Flash is a fine glitter gold polish that is very yellow based.
It reminds me of crushed or molten gold and Chinese Empires. :)

I have been drawn into matte colors lately.
Personally, I think shimmery colors are easier to work with than matte ones, but there are some undeniable attractive qualities in soft matte looks. :)

I have gotten a few questions about my manicures and how I maintain healthy and strong nails.
This inspired me do a post on a couple of tips I know.
They are quite simple and I am sure many of you know about them already, but please keep on reading if you are interested. ;)

Ok, this NOTD is so not appropriate for the upcoming Valentine's day, but I have been itching to try on these dark jewel toned polishes from my recent haul. ;)

Today, I put yesterdays' haul to work. ;)
I wasn't overly impressed with this Cockatoo part of the collection, but actually it consists of my go-to colors like shimmery pink and greys.
The finished look is something I would wear for a first date.
(Of course, I would wear my hair down and flaunt it, not a rigid bun like this. Today was just a work day, though. ;p)

I don't think I have mentioned this, but I am officially on "Cosmetics No-Buy" and I fell off the wagon today. (What else is new?)
It is so easy to fall when you see some slightly off-season goodies at crazy price. ;->

This is so old.
I don't even know when Red My Mind! came out or which collection it belongs to.
I mean the application brush is not even "Prowide" (the dreadful!) and I am sure this is not Big 3 free. (It applies like a dream!!!)
Thank God nail polish is a type of paint, it will keep virtually forever if you are equipped with good thinner and store it properly. :)

Remember Jane Cosmetics?
It was one of the hottest drugstore small brands and there was even a rumour at some point that Bobbi Brown had bought this company.
Sadly they went out of business years ago and Jane products disappeared from drugstore counters.
To think about it, The only thing I really liked from Jane was their Blushing Cheeks blushes.
They are simply very high-quality with great color range even compared to higher-end brands.

Thanks to the relaunching of 2010, now many of us know about this legendary red lipstick that was originally introduced in 1952.

I've been meaning to post this for quite some time now.
This simple and posh looking color was almost impossible to capture since it dramatically changes depends on lighting.
I finally managed to take a couple of pictures that look close to real life (at least to me). :)

I consider myself as an eyeliner newbie and I am still searching for a perfect dark eyeliner that will stay on my lower waterlines.
I recently found out that stila kajal eyeliners stay best on my lower waterlines although they are not perfect, and I was very surprised by that!
So I was naturally intrigued when I saw the new Voluminous Smoldering liners that claim to be inspired by kajal.
