Latina Magazine & CVS Beauty Bash/Mi Belleza

Good evening everyone! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend.

This past Thursday I was lucky to attend a beauty event hosted by Latina Magazine and CVS called Beauty Bash/Mi Belleza. Let me just start off by saying that I had such a GREAT time! This was my first beauty event and I can assure you that it won’t be my last!

The event showcased this falls biggest trends by their Beauty Editor Amanda Flores. I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to Amanda and she is an absolute sweetheart.

She had a lot of great fall trends that I am so excited to try! Not to mention the demonstration of all the trends live. They also had makeup artists on hand to try out the look you preferred.

Fall Beauty Trends:

• Dark red vampy lip!
• Cobalt Blue Cat Eye liner.
• Small amount of gold on the lid.
• Smokey eye starting with the lightest color on the tear duct and then working your way to the darkest color in the outer lid.
• Bold eyebrow!

I chose to try the dark vampy lip by a very nice makeup artist named Alexa. She used the color Plum Paradise from Maybelline and I loved it! Check her out on twitter: @AlexaTeal!

Afterwards, I met the beautiful Shaquira Bonilla! She is a makeup teacher here in Miami. Check out her amazing hair! Visit her on youtube and twitter, she’s extremely talented!

I absolutely loved meeting other beauty fanatics in the Miami area and hope to see Latina Magazine hosting more events here because you were all amazing! Thank you for all that you do for us Latinas!

Spring 2012 Trends! My thoughts!

New trends are always happening each year and we now it’s almost nothing new when you see a style from another period coming back. I was browsing through Style.com and found an article about new spring 2012 trends from the runway. Here’s what I think about the trends! Enjoy 🙂

First one is Ab Fab as pictured below. I’m not a huge fan of showing my belly so this will probably not be my top choice of trends to add-on to my wardrobe but I know that it can be very flattering on other people as long as it’s paired with the correct bottom!

Next is the Cristobal Method which is a 50s inspired look! Pictured below are two looks from Balenciaga and Dries Van Noten. I’m not a big fan of the Balenciaga but it does match the Cristobal theme. The Dries Van Noten really puts a spin on a maxi skirt that looks like a trumpet style. The biker jacket also gives an edge to the look that can be perfect for many different events.

Echo Dechoes is a Great Gatsby inspired trend that includes flowy and sleek dresses. This has got to be my favorite look from Dior and it is absolutely gorgeous! I know what you’re thinking, it’s see through but everything is just perfect about it! The color, the belt, the detail around the abdomen is just amazing! I also really like the lip color and hair style they paired with the dress.

This next trend is inspired by water and it’s called Ocean’s ’12. The best part about this trend is all the amazing detail and texture that resembles the beautiful aspects of water. Using glitter, pearls and many other embellishments have been in style for a bit but this form is extremely intricate and it looks stunning. Pictured below is an Alexander McQueen masterpiece. The colors and detail of this dress are insane! The headpiece is not my favorite but it wouldn’t be McQueen without an elaborate presentation.

Lastly is Pale Fire where pale colors are all the rage! Now color blocking is a big trend right now so it only makes sense that pale colors become the color that get a lot of color blocking love in the spring. It makes sense though because there are so many beautiful colors that accentuate each other! Below is a 3.1 Phillip Lim look that puts together three amazing colors!

These are my thoughts on the 2012 Spring Fashion Trends! If you have time, check out the article, it has a lot more beautiful looks! All pictures are courtesy of Style.com.
