Fenty Beauty Brands are Heat Gloss Half Pies and All the Errands

Tatiana’s questions about the Fenty Heat Gloss in Hot Cherry, I’m excited to dive into the details! Whether you’re considering this gloss or just curious about Fenty’s offerings, here’s a comprehensive look at what you can expect.

Scent and Taste: The Fenty Heat Gloss in Hot Cherry has a subtle scent and taste that remind me of fruit punch. It’s not overwhelmingly sweet or artificial, which is crucial for me as I’m sensitive to overpowering flavors. The gloss offers a pleasant, faint fruity aroma and taste that won’t leave you feeling like you’ve dipped your lips into a sugary concoction.

Stickiness: When it comes to texture, this gloss is moderately sticky. It's less sticky than MAC’s Lipglass, which can be quite tacky, but stickier than MAC’s Plushglass, which is generally more comfortable. If you’re looking for a gloss that provides a decent hold without feeling too gummy, this is a good middle ground.

Plumping Effect: Hot Cherry is part of Fenty's Heat Gloss collection, which is designed to be a lip plumper. As a plumping gloss, it does create a slight tingle upon application. However, the plumping effect isn’t dramatic for me, which is typical of most plumpers. I primarily chose this gloss for its stunning shade and the sheer, glossy finish it provides rather than for a significant plumping boost.

Alternative Options: If you’re not a fan of plumping glosses, Fenty also offers the Gloss Bomb line, which is renowned for its rich pigmentation and smooth finish. The Gloss Bombs have a delightful vanilla scent and taste, with a texture similar to the Heat Glosses but without the plumping properties. I particularly enjoyed the original shade, Fenty Glow, which remains a staple in my collection.

Holiday Errands and Half Pies

On a lighter note, I had a hilarious conversation with a mom friend about the holiday hustle. It’s that time of year when it seems like moms and caregivers are constantly juggling a never-ending list of errands. Today, I found myself on a quest for Cara Cara oranges (a rare find in my local grocery stores this year) and ended up buying a selection of pies—well, technically one pie and a half!

Here’s a little pro tip for those who might not have tried this yet: half pies are fantastic for smaller families. They offer just the right amount of dessert without the risk of overindulging. I opted for a gluten-free apple pie and a half pecan pie. If you’ve never encountered half pies at your local grocery store, I highly recommend asking if they offer them; they’re a game-changer for managing portion sizes during the holidays.

Holiday Tips and Fitness Finds

Before I dash off to tackle the rest of my holiday to-do list, I wanted to share a quick heads-up about a friend’s new Amazon store. If you’re in the market for smart fitness watches, it might be worth checking out. It’s always nice to support friends’ ventures, especially when they offer useful products for keeping up with health and fitness goals.

So, here’s to a smooth and organized holiday season for all of us as we prepare for Santa’s visit. May your days be filled with joy, and may you find all the perfect holiday goodies and gifts you’re searching for!
