Hello Beauties!
It's beauty tips wednesday again and  I would like to talk to you about my newest acquisition:
The Cha Cha tint  from Benefit Cosmetics!


The Cha Cha tint is the newest member of the "Tint" family, which consists in multitasking blushes which are applyed with a little brush and can be used as lipstick or eye shadow too.
There are 3 colors: the first, must famous and bestseller is the Benetint that is a liquid raberry tone ink.
The second one is called Posietint and has more like a bubblegum tone.
Last but not least is my favourite, the cha cha tint, which following the coral trend for the season comes in a peach perfect tone to rock the summer.

What I love about it is the finish given to your lips and cheeks.
It's really natural, fresh and looks as if you weren't wearing any makeup, like a porcelain doll which has been recently painted.
Another pro is that as "Tints" this products stay until you wash your face with soap and water.
That means that you can do whatever you like without having to worry about retouching.
In my opinion it is great to go to work or school, you'll look young and beautiful!

All I have left to say is THUMBS UP for this product!

I'm fascinated with this new trend of wearing decorated sunglasses.
Flowers, pearls, sequins, crystals, prints and exotic forms were shown on the runways and now flood the streets carried by all fashionistas.


I love doing "DIY" projects, but sometimes  just have no time or inspiration.
That's why on Saturday when I found my favourite GUESS lenses, took silicone and plastic pearls and finally got down to work.

Hello Summer beauties!
I imagine most of you are travelling to some hot destination this summer.
If you like to hear my advice...Mexico is known for it's gorgeous beaches like Acapulco, where I flew last week for the grand finale from Elle Mexico Diseña.

I don't know for you, but for me beach equals style and fun.
That means it's your opportunity to rock great clothes and if you have it a nice body too.

Vaporous dresses, maxi skirts, squares as black&white inspiration from Louis Vuitton. Hologram, transparencies, gladiators from Tom Ford, mesh garnments or "caged shoes" like the ones from Jimmy Choo, neon as seen in the latest Marc by Marc Jacobs collection, color blocking and wild vibrant prints from Kenzo as well as natural fibers like the ones used in the last D&G collection have been an inspiration for this season all over the world.

Of course there are certain musts for a stylish trip.
My must haves are mostly comfortable and fresh pieces that can make me look stylish without having to put a lot of effort in to it.

A fragrance is something we always associate with luxury, fashion and a even a certain life style.
It can become our essence and signature as well as it can make us happy, fell in love and remember something or someone...

My friends where asking me the other day what's the difference between Eau de Parfum, Parfum  and Eau de Toilette.
I write this post in their honor explaining every variation, the way my wonderful mother explained to me one day.

-Parfum:
True perfumes are very powerful, containing 40% concentrate of the scent and a strong fixative, like skunk urine, so that the durability is very high and sharp.
Of course the quality and price are higher as well. Some people suffer headache with these concentrates, still some of them are delicious.

The bottle is designed by Louis Hsueh and consists in Baccarat crystal cut and polished by hand, decorat with fine gold.
For this reason Joy costs nothing more nor less than 957 euros and is sold, since its inception, accompanied with the slogan "Joy, the world's most expensive perfume".
They are commonly used as daily fragrances.

As you already know I was really excited for the EMD2013 grand finale in Acapulco... and at the end I was right to be, because it was the most magical and glamorous weekend ever.

It all started with an appointment at the airport at 9am where we were nicely received and lead to the check-in. Later on we got on the charter from Aeromexico and then arrived at the beautiful port of Acapulco in Guerrero.
The whole Mexican fashion community was there exquisitely dressed enjoying our first gathering in the beautiful Banyan Tree Hotel at Cabo Marqués.



I can say that apart from being a great host (the best one ever) he is very nice and friendly too, something that many successful people should learn to be.
(I know I look like a mess, but it was still cool to meet him and you will look like that too if you had partied all night long :-P )

Hey guys!
It's Thursday and I'm already eager about the season finale from Elle Mexico Diseña 2013 in Acapulco this weekend.
When I went to the premiere many things were revealed, but the million dollar question is: Who are the finalist?
Answer: Confidential!
This year Elle Mexico decided to keep it a secret, to grow more expectation between the public.

What I can tell you is the following...
The dresscode is going to be: BLACK
Many famous and important people from the mexican fashion industry are going to be there.
The guest judge will be the amazing designer and Michelle Obama's favourite, Peter Som.
Peter is an American fashion designer born and raised in San Francisco, who aspires to provide a fresh perspective on modern American fashion and defines his style as "effortless elegance and refined sexiness"
He graduated from Connecticut College in 1993 with a degree in Art History and then continued his studies at Parsons School of Design where he was thought by Michael Kors and Calvin Klein.
Peter won the Parsons Gold Thimble Award by Isaac Mizrahi and after graduating, pursued his career as a fashion designer by working under Bill Blass in 1998.
In 2001, Som created his own line and unveiled the collection with a show at Bryant Park. 6 years later he was appointed Creative Director of women’s wear for Bill Blass, but left the company in 2008 to concentrate on his label.
In 2009, Peter Som became the Creative Consultant for Tommy Hilfiger, where he designed the women’s runway collection through to 2012.
His label, "Peter Som" is applauded by fashion publications and celebrities to this day. His collections have been featured in world-renowned fashion publications including Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, and InStyle.

Not only the winner will be revealed at the award ceremony; last year's winner Edgar Lozano will present his collection.
Edgar was named the winner by Matthew Williamson, the model Poppy Delevingne, the top Eugenia Silva, Pixie Hopkins assistant director of the projects from Palacio de Hierro. Caroline Scheufele co- president of Chopard, Elle's Fashion editor Sara Galindo and the editor in chief MariPaz Ocejo.
He is returning from an Intership at Massimo Dutti's HQ in Barcelona and will now show everything he has learned.
Here a sneak peek from the fitting at the W Hotel in Mexico City.

According to the magazine, Edgar's collection has and excellent confection work and glassware applications in the 16 looks, which according to Lozano, have up about 40 thousand Swarovski crystals.

I was going to paint my nails the other day, but when I observed their deplorable state...I decided that it is urgent for me to go to the salon for a manipedi!
I was just thinking about that while leafing through into the latest issue of Vogue Mexico
and suddenly found a fantastic article about how to choose the best manicure for your nails.
We might never think about this important decision, but how do we know what to order at the salon? What's the best option for our nails?
Because it isn't just about the color or shape. It is about your nails and the quality you want them to have.
That's why today I would like to give you a little guide, in order to decide which manicure is the best for you, of course it depends of what sort of nails you have and that truth should be told by an expert, but to have an idea of where you are in the statistic is not bad.

-Brazilian or dry manicure
Consists in using plastic gloves or socks containing assets, which nourish, moisturize, regenerate, soften and smooth the cuticle, your nails, hands and feet.
This technique prevents infection and is the most recommended by manicurists for it's effects.


-Traditional
Nails are dipped in a soap solution for softness.
-Shellac or permanent
Perfect manicure that dries in 2 minutes with UV light and lasts 15 days, however experts think it's bad that it has a "root effect" that means you have to go to the salon to remove it, because if done improperly nails can crack and rise in layers. There are also concerns about de pH levels balance which might get destabilize.


-Paraffin Manicure
Ideal for dryed and tyred hands 
For this type of manicure hands are dipped into a container with hot wax.
Depending on the status of the hands, they must be kept dipped in between 15 and 30 minutes. Wax is then removed and given a massage using a natural oil to hydrate.

Now some tips:
-Previously it was believed that removing cuticles was good for your nails, yet the majority of times the nails and skin swells and is more likely to get infections both internal and external.
So... Don't remove the cuticules!

-Always read the layers and check if the polishes are natural some of them are up to 85% and don't damage your nails, unlike others we can get attract to for the prices and are almost 100% chemicals that inflame our nails or leave them full of imperfections

-The secret of a good manipedi starts with the use of base or foundation which acts like a protective shield against the nail polish y extends the chromatic life of the nail.

-Moisturizes your hands thoroughly with cream and exfolialas daily 2 times a week so they look soft, youg and beautiful.

I hope you liked this post, later on I´ll tell you which one I chose....
Enjoy you manipedis girls and tell me per facebook or twitter which mani style you chose and how did it go!

Mesh, lace, cut outs,  and transparencies were overflowing the runways all over the world.
Paris, Milan, New York... there was no show without this trend, which can we worn in practically everything from H to T.
