Remove Your Makeup With Confidence// Remueve Tu Maquillaje Con Conffianz!

I think we all know by now how much I love makeup...... what I don't like is washing my makeup off at the end of the day. It honestly feels like such a drag, start off with a wipe first, apply this super greasy "oil free" makeup remover, then use a cleanser to realize when I wipe my face with toner that I still have makeup in my skin. //Saben de sobra que me encanta maquillarme, lo que no saben es que detesto tener que removerme todo el maquillaje en las noche. Tengo que usar siempre mas de un producto para remover el maquillaje y no siempre consigo removerlo todo. 

When Conffianz a Latina inspired skincare brand, reached out to me and offered me to try out their cleanser I was cool with that, but when they told me I need to do a heavy Day Of The Day makeup look, and then remove it all using the cleanser I was intrigued. See it must be a really good cleanser if thats how they want to demonstrate the efficacy of their product. // Cuando fui contactada por Conffianz, una compañía latina con la oportunidad de tratar su limpiador facial inmediatamente obtuvieron mi atención. Aun me vi mas intrigada cuando me pidieron que me maquillara de Catrina para luego removerme todo el maquillaje solo usando el limpiador facial. 

I went ahead and did a Catrina look and well if you follow me on Instagram and saw my story, you know how "creative" I got with it. I used a lot of blacks and red, from oil based to water based water proof makeup. I decided to go all in and see what this cleanser can do. // Cree un look de Catrina usando tonos negros, rojos, blancos todo de alta calidad y aprueba de agua. Quercia ver si verdaderamente este limpiador hace lo qui promete.

Conffianz really impressed me, I removed half of my face first and was left in awe to see how well it removed all that caked in heavy makeup! I was left even more impressed when I wiped my face with a clean tissue soaked in toner and my face was perfectly clean. // Quede mas que impresionada con la eficcaz con la que Conffianz limpiador de rostra limpio mi cara. Sin utilizar aqua, y solo tres algodones me removi todo el maquillaje y mi rostra quedo impecablemente limpio! Observe el video para que lo vean en accion.

Glamglow Giftsexy Ultimate Anti-Aging And Clearing Skin Gift Set Review!

I took major advantage of Sephoras 20% off event last week to purchase some of the products I have been hesitant to buy but found over priced. I had my eyes on the Glamglow masks for some time, but I'm very picky when it comes to skincare products. My skin has been acting pretty good lately with the occasional little break out here or there, not complaining at all since I know it can be 10 times worst. 

This set contains:

- 1.7 oz Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment 

- 0.5 oz Supermud Clearing Treatment 

- 1 oz Youthcleanse Daily Exfoliating Cleanser 

- Dual-ended applicator brush 

This gifts set is amazingly priced at $69 and its worth every penny, I have been using the cleanser at night time to remove my makeup and it does a really good job at removing my makeup and exfoliating my skin but also super dry so I will not be using this everyday. The masks are really with all the hype, I tried the Youthmud first and my skin was glowing, like even my husband commented on how great my skin looked. 

Today I tried the Supermud clearing treatment and wow I LOVE it too, I could actually see it working on deep cleaning my pores. After 10 minutes I rinsed off and my skin looked so much brighter and clearer, I took a picture (below) right after to show you the results. The kit comes with a dual ended applicator brush and it helps you pick up the product from the jar and apply it effortlessly. 

Overall I am really happy with this purchase and will definitely be adding it to my beauty routine and even in my studio to use on clients!

The Ultimate Skincare Gift Set For Under $30

Kiehls is known for great skincare products but I never really thought of them when seeking out Christmas gifts on a budget but that all changed! 

I went to Saks the other day and while helping my husband pick out a new face wash I came across this gift set and many others. This one was a no brainer priced only $29 and it comes with one of my all time favorite body lotions so I figured if I didn't like anything atleast I'll have that. 

This gift set is definitely a must and I LOVE everything in it! The cleanser is the only thing I have been washing my face with and I can't believe I had never tried it before. It will be replacing my old cleanser for sure. 

Overall I rate this a 10 for either gift giving or for yourself. It's definitely a feat way to try out products at a lower cost. The products are all very rich and hydrating best for normal to dry skin. 

Set Contains:
• Ultra Facial Cleanser (2.5 oz) 
• Ultra Facial Cream (0.25 oz) 
• Creme de Corps (2.5 oz)
• Ultimate Strength Hand Salve (1.0 oz) 
• Lip Balm #1 (0.5 oz)

Plaid At The Zoo...

Shirt Dress: Olive + Oak Similar, Shoes Lulu's, Forever 21 hat

We took the girls to the zoo today and I have to be honest with you, I think get more excited then them.... I LOVE going on these little "adventures" with my girls and making these memories with them. The weather was perfect to walk around, and these peep toe booties are sooo comfy that I didn't even feel like I was wearing heels. The plaid shirt dress is a must for the fall, I mean when I think fall I immediately think plaid!

This Winter Get More Beautiful Skin And Hair/ Este Invierno Obtengan Una Piel Mas Hermosa Y cabello Mas Saludable!

I dont know about you, but I was not excited about winter this year. However I find that I am so much more motivated to work out, try out new skin treatments and let my hair rest. Below is a list of things that are better to do in the cold season.

• Try a new skin care routine, your skin probably feels drier and tighter.  The skin needs more moisture and richer so the light-oil free products might not be sufficient. 

• Add Retinol to your skin care. They're great for wrinkles and acne, but sun exposure can cause photosensitivity, so winter is best time to test them out but don't forget you still need to apply sunscreen. 

• Grow your hair! Taking supplements like biotin  may help... but they may also stimulate body-hair growth! so try them in the winter when you are no bare-legged or sleeveless. 

• Try a darker hue! Darker hair color looks healthier. 

Good Luck! Xxx

No sé sobre usted, pero estoy muy emocionada por el invierno. Me parece que estoy mucho más motivados a trabajar, probar nuevos tratamientos para la piel y mi cabello. A continuación se muestra una lista de las cosas que son mejor que hacer en la temporada fría.

• Probablemente la piel se te sienta bien apretada y seca es importante reemplazar su cuidado de piel con lociones mas ricas e hidratantes. 

• Agregar Retinol a su cuidado de la piel. Son excelentes para las arrugas y el acné, pero exposición al sol puede producir fotosensibilidad, de manera que es el mejor momento para ponerlas a prueba.
• Haga crecer su cabello! Tomar suplementos como la biotina y Viviscal puede ayudar... pero también pueden estimular crecimiento del vello corporal. Pruébelas en invierno, cuando no se usa pantalones cortos. 
• Pruebe con un tono más oscuro en su pelo. Color de pelo más oscuro parece más saludable.

Buena suerte! Xxx

Steffany's Choice Best Of Beauty 2013: Flawless Skin Foundations!

Here are my top three makeup foundations of 2013 I pretty much rotate between these three with the guarantee of a flawless finish every time. Finding a good foundation was so important for me this year because I was breaking out so bad and needed a foundation that would offer good coverage but still looked natural and not cake. I have done a review on these foundations before so I'm just going to break down why they made it to my Best Of Beauty awards! 

Aqui les tengo mis bases preferidas del 2013 estas tres las use básicamente el año entero y las tres me ayudan a exhibir un rostro impecable. Para mi no fue facil encontrar bases que me gustaran pues este año sufrí un tiempo de acné mientras estaba en la escuela. Estas base son increíbles y las adoro ya eh hecho un revise completo de cada una en el pasado así que me enfocare solo en dar un resumen del por que me encantan.

Left To right: Giorgio Armani, Chanel and MUFE

This foundation is really amazing I get so many compliments on my "perfect" skin when I wear this one and out of the three this matches my color the best. The only thing which is good and bad is that it has SPF which again is great but not so well for having you photos taken because it might have some flashback. I personally have not had this problem but avoid using it when I expect to take a lot of pictures with flash. 

Esta base es increíble la verdad es que recibo muchos piropos cuando la utilizo por que hace que mi piel luzca perfecta. De todas las otras bases esta es la que mejor machea mi todo de piel y es la unica que trae filtro solar lo que es bueno y malo a laves. Malo por que el filtro puede hacer que luzcas pálida en tus fotos y obvio que es bueno por que ayuda a prevenir las arrugas. 

I cant believe it took me so long to actually try this one even after seeing it year after year winning Allure's Best Of Beauty and other recognitions. Well I do agree that this is an excellent foundation it has great coverage and my skin really does look and feel like silk when I use it. 

Me encanta esta base y no puedo creer que me haya tomado tanto tiempo en tratarla, pero después de ver como año tras año ganaba como mejor base en Allure Best Of Beauty y otros premios la trate y estoy completamente de acuerdo que es una de las mejores bases en el mercado y mi piel se ve como seda cuando la utilizo. 

This is definitely the best High Definition foundation out there, looks great in pictures, videos and face to face out of the three this would be my top pick for bridal and TV makeup for a guaranteed invisible cover. 

Esta base definitivamente es perfecta para el mundo de alta definicion en el que vivimos. Luce impecables en fotos, videos y en persona. 

Good Luck/ Buenas Suerte! Xxx

The Best Makeup Palette Ever! / La Mejor Paleta De Maquillaje!

I am so in love with this eyeshadow palette, its seriously amazing! Lets start with the fact that every single color is beautiful, highly pigmented and wearable. The consistency is excellent they go on smoothly like butter and the longevity is great, I wore it for 11 hours and had no fading and just minor normal creasing. 

Estoy tan enamorada de esta paleta de sombra de ojos, es sorprendente en serio! Permite comenzar con el hecho de que cada color no solo es hermoso, tambien es altamente pigmentado y usable. La consistencia es excelente van suavemente como la mantequilla y la longevidad es genial, yo usé durante 11 horas y tenía ninguna decoloración y arrugando normal sólo menores

The palette is black and sleek comes with 16 beautiful color, 8 mattes and 8 shimmer. They added a sample size behind the scenes eye primer that is very nice. The only downside is that the palette gets very dirty fast, but nothing that a wet wipe cant take care of. 

La paleta es negra y liso viene con 16 color hermoso, 8 mate y brillo 8. Agregaron un tamaño de muestra detrás de la cartilla de primer de ojo que es muy agradable. El único inconveniente es que la paleta se ensucia muy rápido, pero nada que no se puede cuidar un trapo mojado.

Drugstore Product Of the Week/ Producto Ganga De La Semana: L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder

I have been on the hunt for a great drugstore foundation to use to contour. I find that using a foundation instead of bronzers to contour really gives you the most flawless and natural finish. It's also easier since all you are doing is using the darker foundation on the outside of your face and everywhere you want to contour then you just apply the foundation that matches your skin tone in the center of your face and blend outwards to meet and blend the darker color. 

This foundation is really nice, so nice that I'm going to go purchase another one but in my actual skin tone to see if I like it as much. To contour, this color and the concistency of it works perfectly. The foundation is truly liquidy and after you apply it and blended it out it sets into a flawless matte smooth finish. The only complain I have is that the container is glass, Which means I have to be extra careful in not dropping it. 

This foundation comes in 12 shades, and offers an spf of 18 which its also a plus! Have you tried this foundation before? I also want to know whats you favorite technique to contour. 

He estado a la caza de una base para el contorno. Me parece que el uso de una base en lugar de los bronceadores de contorno realmente le da la más perfecta y acabado natural. También es más fácil ya que todo lo que tiene que hacer es utilizar la base más oscuro en la parte exterior de su cara y cualquier lugar que quiera, a continuación, que acaba de contorno aplicar la base que coincide con su tono de la piel en el centro de su cara y mezcla hacia fuera para reunirse y mezcla el color más oscuro.

Esta base es realmente bonito, por lo bien que me voy a ir comprar uno pero en mi tono de piel para ver si me gusta mucho. En contorno, este color y la consistencia que tiene funciona a la perfección. La base es verdaderamente bien aguada y después de aplicarlo y mezclado que establece en un perfecto acabado liso mate. La única queja que tengo es que el envase es de cristal, lo que significa que tienen que ser más cuidadosos en no dejar caer.

Esta base viene en 12 colores, y ofrece un spf de 18, que es un plus! ¿Has probado esta base antes? yo también quiero saber que técnica es tu favorita de contorno.

Good Luck/ Buenas Suerte! Xxx
