Purple Glam New Year's Eve Makeup

Dec 28, 2011


There is an accompanying tutorial on my YouTube channel that is supposed to be up but once again, I'm having  internet issues. Le sigh. So here are just the pictures for now.

I used NYX Glitter Mania in "Purple" on my lids. To have a tacky base, I applied lip balm to my lids. I had glitter adhesive by Jessie's Girl and I couldn't find it. I looked up several alternatives and someone suggestive lash glue (yikes!) and lip balm. Lip balm seemed way safer for me. I used Green Glam Gloss since it's eco-friendly and unscented to avoid any irritation.

New Year's Eve Outfit Ideas & Last Year's Look

New Year's Eve Outfit Ideas & Last Year's Look

Dec 26, 2011


These are for the ladies that are frantically looking for an outfit at the last minute. This is me also, my playsuit is somewhere in transit on its way to me. I have yet to shop for any accessories. I don't know, I just can't be one of those people that have an outfit planned one month ahead. I am always changing my mind! With the help of Polyvore, I have created 3 outfits that are very affordable and stylish. Maybe these will give you some inspiration. Enjoy!

Estos es para las mujeres que estan frenéticamente en busca de un traje en el último minuto. Asi soy yo también, mi traje está en su camino hacia mí. Todavía tengo que comprar todos los accesorios. No sé, yo no puedo ser una de esas personas que tienen un conjunto planeado un mes antes. Yo siempre estoy cambiando de mente! Con la ayuda de Polyvore, he creado tres conjuntos que son muy asequibles y con estilo. Tal vez estos le dará un poco de inspiración. Disfrute!


New Year's Eve Outfit


Oversized top, $35
Sequin skirt, $49
Michael Antonio stilettos pumps, $50
Jane Norman metallic clutch, £12
Cocktail ring, £25
Cluster jewelry, £20


Embrace the sequins trend this season by wearing it in skirt form. It's a safe choice that will complement most body types and skin tones. This is perfect if you aren't ready to go all out with a sequined dress. Neutralize the sparkles with some nude pumps and a white top.

Sumarse a la tendencia de esta temporada por las lentejuelas que lo lleva en forma de falda. Es una opción segura que complementará la mayoría de los tipos de cuerpo y tonos de piel. Esto es perfecto si usted no está lista para ir todos hacia fuera con un vestido de lentejuelas. Neutralizar los destellos con algunos tacones de colores desnudos y una blusa blanca.


New Year's Eve




I love the idea of wearing white for New Year's Eve. White is such a pure color and many don't wear it so it's a great possibility that you will stand out. Add a pop of color with a bright colored shoe. I chose purple, because you all know that it's my favorite color. Statement earrings will make this outfit even more glamorous, you can choose to wear your hair up to showcase them even more

Me encanta la idea de vestir de blanco para espera del Año Nuevo. El blanco es un color tan puro y muchos no lo usan por lo que es una gran posibilidad que se destacan. Añadir un toque de color con un zapato de color brillante. Elegí el color  morado, porque todos ustedes saben que es mi color favorito. Arretes de declaración hará que este traje aún más atractivo, puede optar por amarrarse el pelo para que se vean mas.


New Year's Eve




Be vibrant and red-hot! This jumpsuit has a plunging neckline, giving this look sex appeal without making it trashy. A statement necklace will draw even more attention to your decolletage. The ruffled detailing adds a delicate femininity to this piece. Keep it sexy with strappy shoes and a studded clutch. This is my favorite look out of all three just for the fact that it's not a typical look.

Seas vibrante y rojo-caliente! Este traje tiene un escote, dando a este aspecto atractivo sexual sin que sea de mala calidad. Un collar de declaración será llamar la atención aún más a su escote. Los detalles con volantes añade un toquesito delicado y feminino a esta piezaMantenerlo sexy con unos zapatos de tiras y un embrague con clavos. Este es mi look favorito de los tres sólo por el hecho de que no es un conjunto tipico.

About Last Year's New Year's Eve Look (Sobre El "Look" Del Año Pasado)..


I've gotten several emails regarding the shorts I wore last New Year's Eve. It seems that the Posh Pants site is no longer up. BUT good thing for you ladies, sequins are very in this season! I browsed around and found several places where you can find some sequined shorts. Just click on the links I have provided below for several low and high-end options for sparkly goodness.

He recibido varios mensajes sobre correos electrónico en relación con los pantalones cortos que llevaba la víspera de Año Nuevo pasado. Parece que la pagina Posh-Pants donde lo vendian ya no estas. Pero una cosa buena para ustedes señoritas, lentejuelas estan muy de moda esta temporada! Me puse a buscar y encontre en varios sitios donde puedes encontrar unos pantalones cortos de lentejuelas. Simplemente hagan "click" en las paginas abajo para varias opciones.

(might be available in Express stores as well)

Hope this helps!

Christmas Eve Look (With Spanish Translation)

Dec 25, 2011

Merry Christmas to all! I had an okay Christmas, it would've been perfect if I had Jeremy with me though (he's on vacay in DR with my mom). But he's coming back soon, can't wait!

Feliz Navidad a todos! Tuve un bien de Navidad, lo que hubiera sido perfecto si hubieraJeremy conmigo, aunque (él está de vacacion en RD con mi mamá). Pero él va a volver pronto, no puedo esperar su regreso!
Forever 21 sequined cardigan
Forever 21 basic white tank top
Forever 21 bangles
H&M navy skinny pants
BCBG patent leather pumps



As my fellow Latinos know, we celebrate on Christmas Eve. That's when all the festivities take place and we open the gifts at midnight. I spent Christmas Eve with my best friend and her family then spent the rest of it with my younger sister. I wanted to look especially festive this year so I went with this gold sequined cardigan. My sister bought it off of the Forever 21 website and didn't like it so I swapped some shorts I bought off H&M that didn't fit me for it. See how well I'm doing with this no buy? Clothing swaps is another fabulous way to save on shopping.

For makeup, I kept it mostly neutral using warm shades on my eyes. On my lips I mixed a red lipstick with plum colored lip gloss to create a berry shade. Loved the result color!

Hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas! Scroll down for more photos.

Como mis compañeros latinos saben, celebramos el día de Noche Buena. Todas las celebracciones ocurre ese dia y abrimos los regalos a la medianoche. Pasé la Noche Buena con mi mejor amiga y su familia y pase el resto de la noche con mi hermana menor. Yo quería mirar especialmente festivo este año, así que fui con esta chaqueta de lentejuelas de oro. Mi hermana la compró fuera de la página web de Forever 21 y no le gustó, así que cambie unos pantalones cortos que compré de H & M que no me quedaba por ella. Ver lo bien que estoy haciendo sin comprar,  no? Los swaps de ropa es otra fabulosa manera de ahorrar en las compras.

Para el maquillaje, lo mantuvi en su mayoría neutrales con tonos cálidos en los ojos. En mis labios me mezclé un lápiz labial rojo  con brillo de labios de color ciruela para un color de baya. Me encantó el color resultante!


Espero que todos ustedes tengan una Navidad maravillosa

Pink & Purple OOTD (Celeb Inspired)

Pink & Purple OOTD (Celeb Inspired)

Dec 15, 2011

Inspriration..

Peaches Geldof at the Red Carpet Fashion Awards

I was invited to go to a breakfast and presentation hosted by Cosmo at the Hearst building. You cannot believe how honored I was to be invited, I was so ecstatic. I wanted to look professional and youthful and fun at the same time so I decided to pair pink and purple together after I saw this picture of Peaches Geldof. I couldn't find a pink dress suitable for the occasion so I opted for a pink top instead.

My Version...



Forever 21 purple blazer
H&M pink top
Forever 21 skinny belt
H&M skinny navy trousers
sister's purse
Zigi Shoes leopard print pumps

The full length photo was a horrible attempt of me trying to take a full length picture of myself using a tripod. I took a bunch and this was the best one. The next two pictures show the colors off way better. The blazer is old and I have to admit that I bought new stuff for this occasion. So the top and pants are new (shame on me). I don't think this counts because it was a "special" occasion, right?

The H&M pants are a great fit and are really versatile. I will post a casual outfit with them soon.

Rockstar New Year's Eve Makeup Look

I love how this look came out! The pictures don't it justice at all. It looks great in person and the glitter shows up better in the video. This look is totally fun and perfect for ringing in the new year. Enjoy!

I decided to use a song by my "hubby" Romeo Santos in my tutorial. It was the only non-Bachata song that I liked off his album. I wasn't impressed by the techno but I like the lyrics a lot. It's called "Magia Negra" (Black Magic) off his debut solo album Formula Vol 1. 


Me encanto cómo este "look" salió! Las fotos no le hacen justicia en absoluto. Se ve muy bien en persona y el brillo se ves mejor en el video. Este aspecto es totalmente divertido y perfecto para que suene en el nuevo año. Disfrute!

Decidí usar una canción de mi "esposo" Romeo Santos en mi tutoria. Fue la única  cancion que que me gustaba de su álbum que no eras Bachata. Yo no estaba impresionado por el techno, pero me gusta la letra mucho. Se llama "Magia Negra" de su álbum debut en solitario llamado Fórmula Vol. 1.

Review for Revlon Lashes and Revlon Eyelash Adhesive

Review for Revlon Lashes and Revlon Eyelash Adhesive

Dec 12, 2011


This is the look I'm wearing in my OOTD & No Buy Challenge post. This is a pretty bold look and I wanted to share it since I don't do a very bold eye too often. You will most likely see me with a neutral eye and a bright lip since I'm more of a bold lip kind of girl.

For this looked I used the Wet n Wild 8-pan palette in "Blue Had Me At Hello". The colors are soooo pigmented. I love it! It's a great buy for $4.99. I paired it with a lilac lip, one of my favorites. I also used some Revlon lashes and glue that I was sent for reviewing. The ones I have on are the  "Long, Volumizing #91169" ones. As you can see they are pretty voluminous. I liked them a lot, they are pretty user-friendly and you can get more than one use out of them. This was my second time wearing these. The Revlon lash glue applied blue and I was pretty creeped out until I saw it dried clear LOL. The glue comes with a wand for application which makes a neater application but I don't think it's very hygienic so I wouldn't recommend it for a MUA to use. They retail at 3.99 which makes them pretty affordable considering that you can use a pair more than one time. I have more pictures below of the look where you can see the lashes better.


Traduccion En Español
Este es el "look" que llevo en OOTD & No Buy Challenge. Este es un aspecto muy audaz, y quería compartirlo, porque yo no uso muchas sombras atrevidas. Es muy probable que me vea con un ojo neutro y un labio brillante. Me gusta muchos los pinta labios colores audaz.

Para este "look"  usé el Wet n Wild 8-pan en la paleta de "Blue Had Me At Hello"Los colores son taaaan pigmentados. ¡Me encanta! Es una gran compra por $ 4.99Lo combine con un labio de color lila, uno de mis favoritos. También usé unas pestañas falsas de Revlon y  el pegamento que me habian enviado  para revisión. Yo use "#91169". Como se puede ver, son bastante voluminosos. Me gustaron mucho, son bastante fáciles de usar y usted puede usarelas mas de una vez. Esta fue mi segunda vez que me la habia puesto .El pegamento de pestañas Revlon aplicó azul y me asustaba bastante hasta que vi que se secó claro. El pegamento viene con una varita  para la aplicación y es bueno para eliminar toyo, pero no creo que sea muy higiénico, así que no se lo recomendaría a un MUA para su uso. Las pestanas cuestan $3.99 USD, un buen precio teniendo en cuenta que puede utilizar un par más de una vez. Tengo más fotos de abajo de el "look" donde se puede ver mejor las pestañas.
