"Cherries In The Snow" Isn't That A Lovely Name For Revlon Nail Polish/Lipstick? I Am Created To Think Abstract @ Times. If I Am In A Class I Will Ask ?'s That Maybe Not Everyone Else Would Tend To Ask. Let Me Share An Example With You If I May.

Remember when I shared with you about the old time magazines I purchased to send to my mom? As I was looking through one of them I noticed a color ad for Revlon Nail Enamel (nail polish.) I commented to the person I was showing the magazines to how their nail polish bottle did not change that much since the magazine advertisement in 1957. I then happened to be at a Marshall's store the other day and a 2 piece gift set caught my attention. I picked up the set and I saw the name of the nail polish, "Cherries in the Snow." I said to myself I know that color because I had that color a few years ago and I loved polishing my nails with it. You just sort of figure that over the years they tend to discontinue a color. I have found that to be most true when it comes to Estee Lauder, especially in foundation formula's. When you finally like one that works with you then they seem to discontinue it. Estee Lauder you really need to keep some of the classics and not get rid of them ok. Can you please bring back the ancillary products in the "Knowing" fragrance line? I really do not like their current foundations because if you smell them they tend to have a rancid smell to me. I am all about not only quality but I do not want to wear something on my face that smells rancid. I did figure out that the scent tends to be from the SPF they put in the foundations. So, I finally figure out a way to utilize the newer foundation because they still sold an old time favorite foundation, Country Mist and you could only get it in Country Beige color. I would then create my own concoction at home. I would mix some of the Double Wear Water foundation with Country Mist and then I did not have to smell the unpleasant smell of the newer foundation because I now had the scent of the other foundation mixed in. So,I recently found out that they no longer sell Country Mist.
Maybe heed a less from Revlon. Obviously they were ahead of their times because I also noticed their advertisement was a color ad plus it was on the inside cover of the magazine. They were ahead of their time back in 1957. If I am not mistaken, you tend to pay a higher dollar amount for advertisement based on where it is located in the periodical. Prime spot in a magazine that had more black and white advertisements than color ads. Kudos to you Revlon.
So back to the story at hand now. See, I told yo I can think abstract at times. I start off with one thought then it leads me to another thought but in the end it all seems to come together. I think I purchased a pretty good deal because I bought the 2 piece set for $3.99 @ Marshall's. I had to get out my magnifying glass to read the small print of the advertisement and it truly was a great deal because back in 1957 the ad reflects $0.75 for frosted nail enamel; $0.65 for nail enamel and then $1.35 for lipstick plus tax the ad also states. In 1957 a lipstick and nail enamel cost $2.00 plus tax. In 2019 a lipstick and nail enamel set cost me $3.99 plus tax. Now I know it costs more if you purchase them in a store and that they must have had a great buyout for them to sell at $3.99 @ Marshall's. I really was drawn to the set because I recognized a color of nail polish I used to wear a few years back and I remember from then that I liked not only the color of the nail polish but the name seemed to stay with me also. I tend to think yes if you pictured in my mind cherries in the snow that would be a lovely scene do you agree? The rich color of cherries set in the foreground of pristine white snow. That is how I am created to think. Some would say outside the box. That was my recent experience just from me looking at a periodical magazine from 1957.



I wore the lipstick the other day and I liked it. I finished polishing my nails with the nail enamel a few hours ago. Thanks Revlon for creating this color.
