Dove's Dry Spray Antiperspirant is a Must-Try

As a fashionista on the go, I have to make sure my whole outfit is on point before I head to meetings, take pictures, do TV segments or work as a fashion stylist. That's why I'm excited to have partnered with Simply Stylist and Dove to tell you about a beauty product that has made a big difference in my life, Dove Dry Spray!

If you are wondering why this product is so special? Let me tell you that this antiperspirant doesn't leave behind any visible residue, which is very important for women like us - we don't want to ruin a good outfit, right? It also dries very quickly and provides 48 hours of odor and wetness protection. Plus it moisturizes your skin, leaving it soft. For somebody like me, who spends a lot of time traveling, I want to make sure I'm protected from bad odor at all times. We all know that can ruin a great moment! 

So, next time you are ready to go out, make sure you have the right antiperspirant on, especially one that doesn't leave any visible residue, like Dove Dry Spray. To learn more about it go to Dove.com

My experience at the Clinique Counter

Hi Queens,

I hope you are having a fabulous weekend! It's no secret that I love getting dolled up either for TV or just for fun! So I was very excited when Clinique invited me to get pampered at one of their beauty counters, especially because it's been a while since I had a consultation.

As soon as I got there I felt right at home, the girl doing my makeup and everybody at the counter was so sweet and nice. The first thing she asked me was what my concerns were. I immediately told her I had just turned 40 and I was afraid I was going to start getting lines on my forehead and lips. Yes, she was a little surprised I was 40 ...ha,ha,ha, you know I felt good and happy! And then the consultation started.

She started off by cleaning my face with the Clinique Sonic Cleansing Brush, even though I've used cleansing brushes before this one felt soft and  I loved how light it was. She explained to me that no matter what I do it is really important to make sure I clean my face thoroughly in the morning and at night. Then she got my skin ready with their 3-Step Skin Care System. I remember using the 3-Step Skin System when I was in Hight School and in college. Their yellow moisturizer, I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with, felt like a long lost friend that I had just reunited with! My skin seemed to loved it, because I was glowing!!!

Then the fun part started and we moved on to makeup! I told her since I wear a lot of makeup on TV I like doing a natural softer look for regular days.  She did just that using a peach, gold and bronze palette.  If you've been following my blog for a while, you know that I LOVE a nude lip and I'm always looking for the perfect one. My dream came true when she showed me this gorgeous Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer in Beige Pop, it is perfection and it has become my new favorite lipstick especially because their smoothing primer makes it last for eight hours.

I can't wait to share more of my experience with Clinique. Until then, check out their Pop Lip Colours + Primer here. They come in 16 shades and they are all just as beautiful.

Beauty Sunday - John Frieda Frizz Ease Nourishing Oil Elixir

One of my favorite hair products iS John Frieda Frizz Ease Nourishing Oil Elixir with Argan Oil. I discovered it a few months ago and I take it with me every where I go. I took it on my trip to Cancun and recently when I went to Europe. After I let my hair air dry and style it then I apply a little bit on the ends. It leaves my hair shiny, smooth and soft!

Spanish – Español Uno de mis productos preferidos para el cabello es John Frieda Frizz Ease Nourishing Oil Elixir. Lo descubri hace unos meses y lo llevo conmigo a donde vaya.

Me encanta ya que me deja el cabello brilloso, sedoso y suave.

The Erno Laszlo Institute

Hi Queens! I hope you are enjoying your weekend. I've been catching up on work and relaxing too! I had not done a Beauty Sunday post in a while. But, if you follow me on Twitter, you know that last weekI visited the Erno Laszlo Institute in SoHo to get a facial. Well, let me tell you that my aestethician  Tinamarie Gerardi gave me one of the best facials I've ever had. She took her time to talk to me about my needs and everything I was currently using on my skin. Then, she took me to one of the rooms downstairs and gave me an amazing customized facial, where she explained step by step what was being done.

You know I'm all about taking care of your skin and to me a facial is like giving your car a tune up. Overall the service was amazing and my skin was glowing right after. And can I just tell you that the Institute is beautiful - three-story place with a stunning staircase - and peaceful. No wonder, Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo and Jackie Kennedy LOVED Erno Laszlo! So, if you are in NYC I highly recomend this place, maybe you will end up getting a membership - yes, it's a member-only spa.  I think I have become addicted to it and I can't wait to go back .

Disclosure: Erno Lazlo didn't pay me to write this post but I they gave me complimentary facial.
