Revlon's Cult Classic Lipstick: Cherries in the Snow

Revlon is an American cosmetics, skin care & fragrance company, which was founded in 1932.Brothers Charles & Joseph Revson, with the help of Chemist Charles Lachman, created the world’s first rich, glossy opaque nail enamel. The name Revlon – was created with the Revson brothers surname, replacing the S for a L, to honour Charles Lachmans involvement. The original Revlon 'Cherries in the Snow' Lipstick was launched in 1953 featuring the famous ad that featured, Dorian Leigh, one of the world’s first supermodels. She also happens to be the inspiration for Capote's 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'...she's the real-life Holly Golightly. #cultclassic #Revlon#CherriesintheSnow #makeuphistory

Sookie's 13 Best Sephora Buys: That ACTUALLY Are Worth Every Penny

Huffington Post did an article with the 'supposed' 13 best buys at Sephora. I was kind of amazed at how completely off they were with their choices.

Check out the link below for THEIR suggestions.

As a self-taught MakeUpAddict (MUA), I compiled my own list. We all work hard for our money, and I definitely wait it out and save up if there is something extra special I want to add to my makeup collection. The list below are products from Sephora, that I have purchased and that have been worth every damn penny spent. Most I have re-purchased, meaning I have used up the product until it was gone, which is the point. So if you are looking for something to "splurge" on at Sephora, check out my list below. I can personally vouch for every single product below and use most of them on a weekly, if not daily basis.
