“I want ______” with Sephora Collection

Monday, October 3, 2016



Finishing the phrase “I want ____” is extremely hard for me. 
I want to get out of my comfort zone.
I want to travel the world.
I want to continue dreaming big and reaching my goals.
I want to express who I am through fashion and beauty

I always talk that we should forget about the superficial side of fashion and makeup…it should be fun, it should be a way to express how you feel and you should always change it up. 

Bohemian Up-Do...with TRESemmé.

Sunday, May 15, 2016





It’s wedding season (check out my post on Jumpsuits for weddings HERE)…and I know the feeling of not knowing what to do with your hair. You dare to try something different.  I was inspired by some beauty looks I've seen on the red carpet to do this bohemian but classy up-do.

As usual, I called my dear friend, Marco Peña (TRESemmé stylist) and I asked him some of his best tricks to achieve this look at home! 


El otro día fui a una boda y no sabía como peinarme. Y creo que nos pasa a todas, queremos vernos más arregladas de lo normal...pero que sea lo suficientemente fácil para hacerlo en casa.  Así que hoy les muestro como hacer este peinado bohemio pero elegante. (Hablando de bodas, les recomiendo pasar a leer este artículo de Jumpsuits como una opción moderna en bodas. 

Como siempre, llamé a mi querido Marco Pequeña, estilista de TRESemmé para preguntarle algunos truquitos para que este look quede perfecto.





1. We know how important the first step is….using the right shampoo and conditioner like the TRESemmé Botanique Collection. I first told you about it a couple of months ago, and  I love how it keeps my hair soft and hydrated. After using the conditioner, I like to use the Botanique Nourish & Replenish Hydration Mask once a week… with ingredients like coconut milk and aloe vera, it deeply conditions and hydrates. Apply generously from mid-hair down, and leave it for 5 minutes..and make sure to rinse carefully.





1. Siempre les menciono la importancia de usar un buen shampú y acondicionador...ya que es la base del peinado. Hace un par de meses les recomendé la colección TRESemmé Botanique, excelente para mantener tu cabello suave e hidratado. Después de usar el acondicionador, usa la mascarilla "Botanique Nourish & Replenish Hydration Mask" una vez a  la semana. Como ingredientes como leche de coco y sábila, hidrata muchísimo. Aplica esta mascarilla en todo el cabello, pero enfócate de la mitad a las puntas y déjalo actuar por 5 minutos.


2. Dry your hair however you want,  but aim for volume. I blow-dried it on the straight side for more control but I made sure to dry my hair while putting my it down for extra volume. I’m going to put-in extensions…not for volume but for length. As you know, I cut my hair a couple of months and these braids are going to look way better with a little bit of length.
2. Seca tu cabello al natural o con un secador a tu gusto. A mi me gusta tener un poco más control y lo sequé liso.  Como pueden ver, voy a utilizar extensiones....no lo estoy haciendo por volumen si no por el largo. Como saben, hace un mar de meses me corté el cabello y estas trenzas con moño se va a ver más lindas con el cabello más largo. Pero de todas todas puedes hacer este peinado con cabello mediano.



3. Divide your hair into three sections and tease the upper section a little. You can use the TRESemmé TRES  Two Extra Hold Hairspray to keep the volume up. 
3. Divide tu cabello en 3 secciones; bate la parte de arriba. Utiliza una laca como el TRESemmé TRES  Two Extra Hold  para lograr que el volumen te dure toda la noche.






4. Do two french braids…one on each side of your head. Braids towards the middle of your hair instead of down.

4. Haz dos trenzas francesas, una de cada lado de tu cabeza.  Trenza hacia la mitad de la cabeza en vez de hacia abajo.







5. Gather the two braids and upper section into one low-ponytail

5. Une las dos trenzas en una una cola de caballo baja usando una elástica.





6. Braid the ponytail while adding the elastic into one of the sections.
6.  Ahora trenza la cola de caballo pero añade la elástica en una de las secciones, estoy te va a ayudar en el siguiente paso.




7. Use the elastic to wrap the braid around creating a messy bun.
7. Utilizando la elástica, dale la vuelta a las trenzas para lograr un moño despeinado.





8. Use some bobby pins to make sure the bun looks just like you want…you have a lot of freedom too..make it as messy as you want. Also, don’t be afraid to play with baby hairs or shorter hairs around the face. It brings the look to life.
8. Usando unos ganchillos para el cabello, asegura el moño a tu gusto. Este paso es muy personal, puedes hacerlo más perfecto o despeinado para un look más bohemia.




9.  A little more Two Extra Hold Hairspray to keep everything in place…and you are ready to go.
9. Para finalizar y que el look te dure toda la boda, rocía un poco más de la laca Two Extra Hold Hairspray.

Holiday Hairstyle Idea: Glam Half Top Knot….with Sally Beauty

Thursday, November 19, 2015



I still can’t believe the Holiday season is right around the corner. So today I wanted to share an easy tutorial on how to do a glam half top knot. This hairstyle has been all over in 2015, and it can work perfectly for the Holidays. It will make a cozy outfit a little bit more fun….it will work with edgier looks…and it will also make a sequin dress modern and hip.
Before & After


Shampoo & Conditioner.


Using the right shampoo and conditioner will make a difference in the texture of your head. I recently went again to Sally Beauty, which is always my go-to for salon-quality hair, skin and nail essentials at the best prices. I asked for their best line of moisturizing shampoo and conditioner- my hair is very dry from having ombré and bleaching it for the past two years. The sales associate at the store was very helpful and she recommended me the ZP 180 PRO Moisture Repair Shampoo and the ZP 180 PRO Moisture Repair Conditioner. After just one use I felt instant and deep hydration; it says it is formulated with ultra-reparative Pro-Peptide Complex and can repair up to 2 years of hair abuse.


Blow Dry and Curling Iron


My hair is so frizzy and unpredictably curly that I have become addicted to the blow dryer when it comes to hairstyling (hey, I’m not the only one). Recommendation: Ion Whirlwind Pro Oscillating Dryer, which has a unique automatic oscillating technology (this distributes airflow more efficiently meaning less drying time, and less damage). If your hair is curly like mine, focus on making the roots straight (the ends don’t have to be perfect). If your hair is straight, put the blow dryer in the low temperature setting and use a diffuser.  You can wear this hairstyle straight, wavy, or curly…but I like giving my hair a little texture so I’m using the Hot Shot Tools XL Ceramic Curling Iron 1 1/4 inch. I’m just focusing on giving it more of a messy look.



Some tips to reduce hair damage as much as possible:

  • For example, I try to only use hot tools twice a week. Try washing it at least every other day, let your hair produce its natural oils…and washing it less also means that you don’t need to use hot tools so often.
  • Use a heat protectant. Don’t have it hidden in your bathroom…have it right there beside your blow dryer so you never forget. Here I’m using “Beyond The Zone Smooth Criminal Thermo Protect Spray”- this one seals the hair cuticle against temperatures up to 450 degrees F.
  • Don’t start blow drying your hair when it’s VERY WET- wait until at least 50% of it is damp. The less heat you have to apply to your hair, the better…and it doesn’t have to be dripping to make it manageable.
  • Know your hair’s heat tolerance. Every hair is difference; some hair types can handle heat styling better in the long run. Also take into consideration that if your hair has been chemically processed, it’s heat tolerance will be lower. You don’t always have to put your curling iron at its highest…play with it, know your hair! Here is a general guide. If your hair is fine, don’t go higher than 300 degrees F. If your hair is medium: try between 300 and 375 degrees F. If your hair is coarse, you can go up to the low 400s.
  • To reduce hair damage in the long run, hold the blow dryer at least 6 inches away from your hair. 


Half Top Knot

  • Using a Pintail comb , section your hair off to do a half ponytail. You can make it as high or low as your want. You can also use as much hair as you want. Some people go from the ear diagonally up…but I like to section it off where a receding hairline would start.
  • Just like you would do a regular top knot, twist around and secure with a hair tie. 
  • Finally I like using a bobby pin to make the bun a little flatter. I got the MetaGrip Premium Hair Pins in Bronze- which are slip proof so that little bun won’t move anywhere.



…and we are ready!! Wait!! The final touch to make this look more glam: red lipstick. Here I’m wearing Femme Couture Primer Wear Lipstick in Blushing Red


I hope you liked this easy tutorial! If you try this glam top knot, don’t forget to tag me and @SallyBeautySupply with the hashtag #SallyHairDare XOXO

Contouring and highlighting…with Sephora

Thursday, March 19, 2015






I’ve wanted to do this photo-tutorial for a while….and here it is, finally!

I feel like there are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to contouring and highlighting. First of all, contouring doesn’t mean wearing way more makeup than usual. Also, it is not a one-size makeup technique. Forget about the generic Kardashian tutorials you have seen all over the web… you must take into consideration your face shape and nose shape, and contour accordingly.

Let’s start by understanding that contouring and highlighting are the placement of light and dark colors to mimic shadows and light reflection. These shadows help define and enhance certain areas. For example: contouring the hollow of your cheeks creates a natural shadow for a more prominent cheekbone. On the contrary; highlighting mimics light reflection and help specific features to stand out.

Nowadays, there are hundreds of products designed specifically for contouring; they can come in powders, creams, or even liquid. In this photo-tutorial, I’m going to be using Smashbox Step-by-Step Contour Stick trio. These three creamy sticks blend easily; and the pen shape gives a precise application.

Llevo tiempo queriendo hacer este foto-tutorial…y aquí está…finalmente!!

Siento que la gente tiene el concepto erróneo cuando se trata de contornear el rostro. Primero que nada, contornear no significa aplicar muchísimo maquillaje. Segundo, es una técnica que debe variarsdependiendo de tu tipo de rostro, la forma de tu nariz, etc…olvida todos esos tutoriales que has visto a la' Kardashian con cientos de kilos de maquillaje

Primero debemos enterner que es contornear e iluminar. Estos términos se refieren a utilizar colores claros y oscuros para replicar sombras y el reflejo de la luz. Estas luces nos ayudan a resaltar ciertas areas. Por ejemplo, al crear sombra en tus pómulos da la ilusión de una cara más delgada.

Hoy en día hay cientos de productos diseñados para el contorno de nuestro rostro; vienen en polvo, crema, líquidos,etc  En este tutorial, voy a usar el Smashbox Step-by-Step Contour Stick trio. Son 3 lapices cremosos que se difuminan facilmente, y al tener forma de lapiz, dan una aplicación precisa.

Knots and braids....with TRESemmé

Tuesday, April 8, 2014






Hey everyone! As promised, here’s another step-by-step hairstyle tutorial.

As you may have notice, I recently chopped more than 10 inches of hair. Yes, it’s still long but it has been a challenge to style it differently. With this new haircut, I wanted to continue to keep it healthy, prevent split ends and the damages that may be caused from heat styling- so I have been using used TRESemmé’s Split Remedy Split End Leave-In Conditioning Treatment, to restore its moisture!

 For this tutorial, I originally wanted to do a knotted ponytail. However, I have shorter layers in the front that it wouldn’t let that happen so I thought….let me do a braid first! It worked, I really like the final result and I promise, it’s very easy to do.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
  • -      A blowdryer
  • -      A tailcomb
  • -      TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Illuminating Shine Spray
  • -      TRESemmé Split Remedy Leave-In Split End Conditioning Treatment
  • -      Hair Elastics- preferably transparent.
  • -      Bobby pins

¡Hola a todas! Como les prometí, aquí va otro tutorial paso-a-paso.

Como se habrán dado cuenta, en los últimos meses me corté muchísimo el cabello. Si, todavía esta relativamente largo pero ha sido un reto para mi peinarlo. También quiero mantenerlo saludable y prevenir horquetillas que pueden ser causadas por el uso de plancha/secador- por eso he estado utilizando el acondicionador y crema de TRESemmé llamada Split Remedy Leave-In Split End  Conditioning Treatment.

Para este tutorial, originalmente quería hacer una cola de caballo con unos nudos. Ya que tengo capas más cortes en el frente, esto no fue posible...así que se me ocurrió agregar una trenza primero. Me gustó mucho el resultado final, les prometo que es facilísima de hacer.



 LO QUE VAS A NECESITAR:
  • -      Un secador.
  • -      Un peine.
  • -      TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Illuminating Shine Spray
  • -      TRESemmé’s Split Remedy Leave-In Split End Conditioning Treatment
  • -      Colitas pequeñitas- preferiblemente si son transparentes.
  • -      Bobby pins u horquillas.





TRESthrowback: 60s inspired ponytail with TRESemmé

Thursday, January 16, 2014



Hey everyone! Here’s the first hair tutorial of 2014!! I’m really excited because one of my resolutions for this year is to do more beauty/hair tutorials.

I always like to start the New Year by trying a new and different hairstyle. I have never worn my hair like this, so it was definitely a challenge…a fun challenge.  In the 60s, it was all about volume whether you were wearing your hair up or down. As part of my “Throwback Thursday” series with TRESemmé, I’m going to show you how to create a 60s-inspired ponytail.



WHAT YOU WILL NEED:



TUTORIAL:



1.Wash your hair the night before. If you hair is straight, let it dry naturally; if your hair is curly or wave, blow dry it focusing on the roots.

2. Part your hair to your side of preference.

3. Apply TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse; this lightweight mouse will boost your hair’s body and give you maximum hold.
