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 - Giorgio Armani Flash Lacquer

Lipstick: Giorgio Armani Flash Lacquer in Coral 300 HERE

 

 

After many of you asked me to bring it back, I'm happy to announce that my "Beatuy Sunday" section on the blog is back! That means that  I will have a beauty post every other Sunday starting today :-)

After I posted this picture on Instagram (below) wearing this coral lipstick - looks more like orange to me - a lot of you asked me about it. Let me tell you that it's Giorgio Armani Flash Lacquer in Coral 300.

Why I love it:

  • The color is very rich.
  • Even though it says it's coral, it looks like orange to me. The perfect color for summer.
  • It lasts for a few hours before you need to apply again
  • I can eat and drink and I still have lipstick on
  • It gives you a matte finish
You can buy it HERE

Después de que muchas de ustedes me lo pidieran, estoy super contenta de anunciar el regreso de mi sección de belleza "Beauty Sunday". Esto significa que dos domingos al mes voy a estar hablando de belleza aquí en mi blog.

Luego de que subiera esta foto (la de los labios naranjas) en Instagram muchas de ustedes me preguntaron que color de labial estaba usando. Bueno, les cuento que se trata de Giorgio Armanai Flash Lacquer en Coral 300.

Porque me encanta?:

  • El color es hermoso. Aunque la envoltura dice que es coral, parece anaranjado. Ideal para el verano
  • Es bien pigmentado lo cual quiere decir que va a durar mas tiempo
  • Se ve hermoso con la piel bronceada
  • Puedo comer y beber con el y todavia tengo lapiz labial
  • Te da un acabado mate

 

I'm Featured in People en Español as a Cover Girl!

What can I say? Dreams do come true! This month has already been more than I could have ever expected. Last week I was featured in the premiere issue of Cosmo for Latinas as one of the new "latina queens of fashion." This week I'm also featured in People en Español's June Issue as a Cover Girl. In this ad I show you how to transform your look from day to night! In my case I go from a sports girl to fashion diva. As many of you know I used to be a sports anchor and that's where the sports girls comes into play. I am beyond excited to be in such a prestigious magazine and to be a Cover Girl :-)I don't think it has hit me yet, but I'm hoping it will soon. Maybe it will hit me today when I'm doing my interviews - I have three radio and television interviews scheduled for today. I feel like I'm on a tour or something ha, ha.

Daddy, this is for you. I know you are smiling from up above. I love you.

¿Que les puedo decir? Los sueños si se hacen realidad. Y que este mes de Mayo ha sido mas de lo que me hubiese podido imaginar. Hace una semana sali en la revista Cosmo for Latinas como una de las "reinas latinas de la moda". ¿Se imaginan? YOOOO! Y ahora salgo en la revista de People en Español,  en la edicion de los 50 mas bellos, en un anuncio de Cover Girl. ¿Pueden creer que yo soy una chica Cover Girl? Quiero que alguien me peñizque, de verdad :-) En este anuncio les digo como transformar su look de dia a noche. En mi caso de una chica deportiva a una diva de la moda. Como muchas de ustedes saben yo fui presentadora de deportes por eso mi pasion por los deportes. Les cuento que todavía no me cae el veinte de todo lo que me esta pasando, pero ojala sea muy pronto. Hoy tengo programado tres entrevista de radio y televisión, quizás sea en ese momento que me de cuenta de todo esto, ya les contare.

Papito, este y cada uno de mis logros te los dedico a ti. Se que debes estar muy contento, cantando y sonriendo desde el cielo. Te adoro

I'm proud to be wearing my peruvian jersey - Orgullosa de usar mi camiseta de Peru.

Don't forget to get your copy and tell me what you think about my ad! BTW if you pick up a copy I would love for you to take a picture with the magazine and post it to my Facebook wall. At the end of the month I will be doing a collage of all the pictures I get!

Getting Glammed Up with Mary Kay at Latism

As many of you know I am in Chicago attending Latism as Mary Kay ambassador. Today was such a fun day because I had the chance to get glammed up with a few other bloggers, including my roommate Dany from Nany's Klozet, thanks to Mary Kay. The day started at the Vice Presidential suite with a delicious breakfast and then it was all about the makeup we were going to get done!

Mientras esperabamos nuestro turno para que nos arreglen, tuvimos la oportunidad de probar diferentes productos de Mary Kay y la verdad es que muchos me encantaron. Mis preferidos fueron un lapiz labial "sunny citrus" y satin hands - un exfoliante de manos y una crema de manos.

As part of this event, the Mary Kay ambassadors were able to invite two fellow bloggers to get their hair and makeup done, I invited Silvia and Nadia. At the end, they looked FAB and got a bag full of Mary kay products.
