Last month, I told you all about how we started a little gym corner after getting an amazing deal on this compact treadmill from QVC.
We still have so much to do around the house and my bedroom is definitely nowhere done. However, I’ve been eyeing some pieces to spice up my vanity and there was this mirror with multi magnification and storage, it also comes in silver but rose gold is more of the vibe I’m going for. I also really liked that the base has a storage perfect enough to keep my daily makeup organized.
Talking about daily makeup; if you have been following for a while, you KNOW how much of a fan I am of IT Cosmetics. If you are looking to try the brand, this 5 pc Collection is a great way to get a few new every day favorites. Also this Lip Serum Treatment Trio is absolutely amazing for hydrating your lips- and the pigments are great for that natural youthful looking look.
I also saw this amazing deal for a Micro-Dermabrasion Device that I couldn’t pass- it is from a brand called 7LS and exfoliates outer layers of the skin to improve the appearance of lines and pores. The bad news, I forgot I cannot use it yet (the skin is just extra sensitive during pregnancy). So I might either gift it to my mom on Mother’s Day that’s coming pretty soon…OR wait until July and make sure the baby glow stays!
Since this little desk also works as an office for zoom meetings, I also got this cute and versatile black blazer! You can also find more colors and sizes HERE.
What are your vanity essentials?

As we all know Nordstrom’s anniversary sale is happening RIGHT NOW! And I might have picked a few fashion pieces (like the sweatpants and shirt I’m wearing because they are perfect to lounge at home), but I had to treat myself with some new beauty products- especially because now more than ever, it’s so important to pamper yourself!
Browsing the sale as soon as it launched, there were a few beauty exclusives that caught my eye- especially because they are products I LOVE and they came as sets (at a great value). Nordstrom is my one stop shop for all things beauty. So let me tell you what I got:
I was looking for an eyeshadow palette that works for my everyday look (aka my everyday look for shooting styling videos and content!). This set comes with a palette that has 8 neutral hues that can be used wet or dry, the Extreme Dimension 3D black Lash Mascara, and the Technakohl (a pencil styler liner that is super creamy).
MAC Haute Gossip Mini Lipstick Kit ($32.50, $60 value)
Even though I keep my eyeshadow neutral, I’m a big fan of lipstick. This curated set of five mini lipsticks from MAC was too cute to pass. It also includes MY ABSOLUTE favorite nude: Velvet Teddy (matte), I can’t wait to try them all!
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lip Secrets Set
I’ve heard amazing things about Pillow Talk, and I really wanted to try this set- so far, I’m loving it! It comes with the liner, the lipstick and a “Collagen Lip Bath” that provides fuller looking lips! It sold out so quickly, so it must be amazing! I’m gonna link more of my favorites below!
I picked everything online but went to my local Nordstrom to pick it up- so easy and convenient. This is my third time doing curbside pickup and I love that I don’t even have to get out of the car. And then something AMAZING happened! I was actually the 10th customer of the day to pick curbside, so the many staff members came out with happy faces and I WON a $100 giftcard!! Feeling lucky!

Hace un par de dÃas, empecé a preguntarle a mis amigas sobre que significa maquillarse para ellas. Y fue increÃble la variedad de respuestas...desde una muy larga y apasionada de una amiga que recientemente hizo varios cursos de maquillaje...a una respuesta corta y seca "Solo lo uso para bodas y coas asÃ" de aquella amiga que ha tenido una piel envidiable de toda la vida.
Pero escuchando todas sus respuestas...todas tenemos algo en común...todas lo usamos para sentirnos más seguras de nosotras mismas y transformarnos en ocasiones especiales. Ninguna de mis amigas querÃa cambiar como se ven... si no resaltar sus mejores atributos.
At the beginning of the year, I attended a lunch with Givenchy Beauty where they introduced a new lipstick called Rouge Interdit Vinyl. As a lipstick lover, I was instantly excited about the impactful shades that also have a subtle plump effect (and they moisturize incredibly because of the black rose oil). Little did I know that the next month I would be heading out to New York to shoot this amazing video with Evelina and Sophia.
Cada una de nosotras tenÃa un "personaje"- lo pongo entre comillas porque cada personaje estaba inspirado en nuestras respectivas personalidad. Yo era clásica con un "edge". Evelina era la extrovertida y Sophia como la más artÃstica. Siempre he pensado que el color que llevas en los labios puede ser como tu firma...le dice al mundo un poco de tu personalidad- si eres clásica, femenina, atrevida, etc. A mi personalmente me encanta usar labiales rojos y oscuros...siento que me dan un toque extra de seguridad en mi misma.
Esta colección es de 15 tonos, pero hubo uno que me llamó mucho la atención: el "Noir Révélatur". ¿Por qué? ¡Porque parece negro pero no lo es!! Este tono es único porque reacciona con el PH de tu labios...es decir que da un tono distinto en cada mujer!
Cuando lo probé sentà que era solo como un brillo, pero al par de minutos empecé a ver un toque de color. También fue super divertido ver como en Evelina y Sophia eran colores totalmente distintos. Entre más capas te eches, más es el color que aparece...aunque también puedes usarlo encima de tu labial favorito para que el color se intensifique.
Esta experiencia en Nueva York fue increÃble...el equipo de producción fue un sueño, el director divertidisimo, las de cabello/maquillaje me hicieron sentir como una princesa. De verdad que le agradezco mucho a Style Coalition y a Givenchy Beauty por la oportunidad. Estas colaboraciones son extra especiales cuando es una marca a la que has admirado toda la vida.. y para mi el labial es como un arma de belleza.. ¿no les parece?

You probably have noticed that I tend to do the same eye-makeup...yes, a classic cat-eye with neutral eyeshadows that I've learned to master in just 5 minutes. However, I love playing with lip color to match my mood and/or outfit.
For me, the easiest way to transform your makeup look is just by switching up your lipstick. When I'm feeling edgy, I always go for a dark burgundy...when I'm feeling classic, I go for a vibrant red...when I'm feeling extra girly, I wear a pink pout..and when, I just want to go from day to night, I go from nude to darker shade.
Today I'm teaming up with Buxom Cosmetics to review their new collection of lipstick: Buxom Bold Gel Lipstick . What can I say? I'M IN LOVE!
The collection is available in 30 saturated sating and matte shades that range from simple nudes to the darkest plum. First things first: the packaging is very elegant in an all black tube (with a magnet cap). The lipsticks are VERY pigmented,...you only need one stroke and you are ready to head out the door. Matte lipsticks tend to dry my lips but this one has moisturizing ingredients.
So I picked my favorite 10 shades....you are going to see a lot of them with my daily looks!
Probablemente se han dado cuenta que siempre me maquillo los ojos igual...si un ojo de gato con sombras neutrales que ya puedo hacer casi que con los ojos cerrados. Para cambiar mi look, me gusta jugar con el color de mis labios de manera que combine con mi look y con mi humor ese dÃa.
Para mi la manera de cambiar más sencilla de cambiar tu look es con el labial. Cuando me siento edgy, uso colores oscuros...cuando me siento clásica, opto por un rojo vibrante...cuando me siento super femenina, un rosado llamativo. Y por supuesto, cuando quiero cambiar mi look del dÃa a la noche, cambio mi labial de un nude a uno oscuro.
Hoy me uno a Buxom Cosmetics para hacer una reseña de su nueva colección de labiales: Buxom Bold Gel Lipstick...y ¿qué les puedo decir? ¡¡ME ENCANTARON!
La colección, disponible en Sephora y Sephora.com, viene en 30 colores...desde nudes hasta el borgoña más oscuro. Hablemos primero del empaque: viene en un tubito negro super elegante que aparte tienen un imán para la tapia (nunca habÃa visto algo asÃ). Los labiales son extremadamente pigmentados...solo necesitas pasarlo una vez y ya estas listas. La mitad de la colección es de colores matte, que generalmente me resecan mucho los labios, pero estas tienen ingredientes hidratantes.
Estuve jugando con los labiales y escogà mi 10 tonos favoritos...que estoy segura que van a ver muchÃsimo con mis looks diarios. ¡Les mando un abrazo grandÃsimo!!
Hey girls! Happy Monday!
Is it me of we tend to buy tons of products that we don't need or that are not the perfect fit for our skin tone or skin type? There are so many beauty products in the market that it is very important to have skin consultations from time to time and understand what products work specifically for us.
Today I'm partnering with Clinique to share my experience at the Clinique Counter (if you live in Miami, I went to the one at the International Mall...and they were amazingly sweet). Clinique is one of the first brands I ever tried (and loved); my mom always had Clinique products in her bathroom...where I used to sneak in as a teenager and "practice" doing my makeup and then taking it off before anyone noticed (which btw, Clinique's eye makeup remover is still the best I've ever tried!). A couple of weeks ago, I headed to their beauty counter without any makeup so the expert could really see and analyze my skin. I started rejoicing when she mentioned she looked at least 7 years younger than I am!
Before anything, they give a little quiz with questions about your breakouts, aging/wrinkle concern, redness, sensitivity, etc. I shared that a couple of years ago I started suffering with adult acne- which left me with some annoying scars...and that thankfully my skin has cleared out and that it is more on the dry side now. So my concerns are basically 1) keep the acne away while keeping my skin moisturized, and 2) Reduce the acne scars and little marks...and well preventing wrinkles is always a priority. Since we are all very different, all the products of one specific line might not work...she told me it's okay to try X product from Y line and Y product from X line. Stay tuned because I will share more of the skincare products she recommended, I've been using them religiously and I can't wait to share my review with all of you.
Then we moved to the makeup part...my favorite part! Since I didn't have any plans for that day, we kept the makeup pretty simple...a little bit of foundation, a touch of blush, and some barely there eyeshadows. However, you all know I have a thing for lipstick and I saw the new collection "Pop Lip Lipstick + Primer" and I wanted to try all the 16 shades! I was wearing a red two piece set...and I went for a bright red that matched my clothes called Cherry Pop. Like the name of the lipstick says, it comes with primer...so it keeps your lips moisturized and full of color for 8 hours- definitely a must-have in your makeup bag!
Let me know if you have ever had a beauty consultation and/or if you have tried Clinique products. I can't wait to read your experiences! XOXO
¡Hola Hola!! ¡Feliz lunes!
Siento que muchas veces compramos productos de belleza que no necesitamos o los que no son los correctos para nuestro tipo o tono de piel. Por eso es importante de vez en cuando tener la opinión de un experto...especialmente cuando hay tantos productos en el mercado.
Hoy me uno a Clinique para contarles mi experiencia en el mostrador de Clinique (especÃficamente en el del "International Mall" en Miami). Clinique es de esas marcas que confÃo al 100% por "asociación"- mi mama ha usado Clinique toda la vida y fue de los primeros que probé de adolescente (en parte porque me metÃa en el baño de mi mama a maquillarme y desmaquillarme!) Hace un par de semanas, llegué al mostrador sin una gota de maquillaje...de manera que ella pudiese analizar correctamente mi piel y decirme su opinión (que por cierto, me dijo que parecÃa de 18-20 años... y yo feliz de la vida con que me quiten edad!). Mi consulta empezó respondiendo unas preguntas bastantes sencillas para que la experta entiendera mejor mi tipo de piel. Algunas de las preguntas se tratan de acné, tu preocupación por las arrugas, sensibilidad, resequedad, etc.
Yo le comenté que hace un par de años tuve un acné bastante severo pero hoy en dÃa mi piel es bastante reseca... por esto me preocupaban sobre todo dos cosas (1) que el acné no regrese manteniendo mi piel hidratada y (2) reducir las cicatrices del acné... y bueno por supuesto, prevenir las arrugas es siempre importante. Todas somos diferentes y no todos los productos de una lÃnea son para uno...por esto ella mezclo y agarro algunos para mantener mi hidratada, y otros de la lÃnea "even better" que ayuda con las manchitas de la piel.
Pronto les contaré más en detalle de como me ha ido con el regimen de 3 pasos en otro post, pero de ahà continuamos a mi parte favorita: MAQUILLAJE. Como estaba en el centro comercial y no tenÃa planes de nada ese dÃa, me hizo un maquillaje muy natural con un bb cream, un rubor, y unas sombras de tonos café claro. Pero ustedes saben como me encanta una pintura de labios llamativa... al comentárselo, me mostró la nueva colección de pinturas de labio llamada " Pop Lip Lipstick + Primer". Esta pintura de labios, como dice su nombre en ingles, viene ya con el primer y mantiene tus labios hidratados y llenos de color por 8 horas. Aunque vienen en 16 tonos, yo escogà el tono "Cherry Pop", un rojo hermosÃsimo...de esos que no pueden faltar en tu kit de maquillaje.
Cuéntenme si han tenido alguna consulta como esta y si han probado los productos Clinique. Quiero oÃr sus experiencias. ¡BESOS!
