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!

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

Drugstore Product Of The Week: Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes

I think we can all agree when I say the makeup companies have finally figured out how to make some of our makeup last ALL DAY!! While this is great, it does suck when it has to come off at night and all the rubbing and scrubbing won't remove it completely. I have tried a lot of wipes and while some have been ok the Neutrogena one is really THE BEST so far. The cloth is super soft and doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes and gets all of my makeup off. 

Las compañías de maquillaje por fin encontraron la clave para crear maquillaje resistente al agua y eso por la mayor parte es bueno pero no al momento de removerlo para acostarnos. Aveces me daba tanto pesar tener que lavarme la cara hasta tres veces para poder completamente removerme toda la mascara, y lineado de ojos. Por suerte encontré unas toallas que no solo me remueve el maquillaje sino que no me irrita la piel y mucho menos los ojos. La mejor parte es que son económicas y se consiguen en la mayoría de farmacias y hasta supermercados!

I had all waterproof makeup!

Stretch Marks? Saggy Loose Skin? Try This...

 I decided to buy this product even thought I have already faced the fact that no product out there can make my now 10 year old stretch marks magically disappear.... I have seen a lot of improvement in texture and depth after using this product and they are staring to look less noticeable or maybe I'm just used to seeing them. 

This however is not the reason I want to share this product with you all. My weight is always up and down, I can go from 125 to 140 in a matter of weeks, luckily I can loose it very easy too. This however is terrible for my skin as I'm loosing tone and this is no good. I have been using this product for a month now and I can really see a difference, especially on my lower back where I was really starting to notice the skin starting to sag a bit. I will definitely continue to use this and I'm trying my best to keep my weight in control (keep my grandmother away from the kitchen) as I know the older I get I might not be able to reverse the effects as easy. 

Purchased: TJ MAX 

Me decidí a comprar este producto a pesar de que ya he enfrentado al hecho de que ningún producto  puede hacer mis estrías de ya 10 años desaparecerán por arte de magia... He visto un montón de mejorias en textura y profundidad después de usar este producto, y se miran con una apariencia menos perceptible o tal vez sólo estoy acostumbrado a ver. 

Sin embargo, esto no es la razón que quiero compartir este producto con todos ustedes. Mi peso es siempre hacia arriba y hacia abajo, me puede pasar de 125 a 140 en cuestión de semanas, pero por suerte la puedo perder muy fácil también. Sin embargo, esto es terrible para mi piel como estoy perdiendo tono y no es bueno. He estado utilizando este producto desde hace un mes y yo puedo ver realmente la diferencia, sobre todo en la parte baja de la espalda donde realmente estaba empezando a notar la piel comienza a guindar un poco. Sin duda, me siguen a usar este y estoy tratando lo mejor que puedo para mantener mi peso en el control (mi abuela fuera de la cocina)  los mayor que me ponga  no va a ser tan fácil de revertir los efectos de engordar y rebajar tan rápido.

Good Luck/Buenas Suerte! Xxx

Estrias? StretchMarks?

 Stretch marks are a nightmare, I hate them so much and I would just do about anything to make them disappear! Unfortunately there is no such thing that will remove them completely, once the skin is stretched and marked you are pretty much just going to have to deal. There are however lovely treatments that will help diminished them and make them less visible. Here I made a list of my favorite proven treatments to help fade stretch marks. 

 Las estrias son una pesadilla. las odio tanto que honestamente haria lo que fuera por desapareserlas por completo de mi cuerpo. Desafortunadamente esto no es posible, despues que la piel se estrecha hasta este punto que marca estrías ya no hay nada mas que hacer que lidiar. Lo que si hay es muchos tratamientos y tips que te pueden ayudar a que no se noten tanto y se aclaren con el tiempo. Aqui les tengo mis tips favoritos!

Tips
Exercise: This is probably the best tip I can give you, I honestly saw such an improvement from exercising. And in all honesty who's looking at stretch marks when instead they can be looking at toned abs and a sexy butt?   
                                                                       
 Ejercisios es probablemente el tip mas importante que les puedo dar. Al tonificar tu cuerpo la piel se te notara mas firme y las estrias ni seran vista     
                                                                                         
 Diet
What we eat is so important, it wont only make us feel better but it definetly helps us look our best too. Eat all your veggies and fruits and drink half you body weight in water daily and you will see a big difference in how your skin looks. 

Tu dieta es otra cosa muy importante para obtener una piel saludable. Asegurate que estas comiendo todos tus vegetales y frutas y que bebes mucha agua durante el dia. Comensaras a sentirte mejor y con el tiempo tu piel se vera espectacular también.

Exfoliate

Exfoliating and/or dry brushing removes layers of dead skin to unveil soft, fresh skin. Some marks may be difficult to reach and areas like the breasts are more sensitive, but do what you can.

Use a loofah or an exfoliator, bought or home-made -- sea salt, oatmeal, baking soda, ground coffee or apricot scrub, with a wet washcloth. Add any of them to olive oil to make a paste and then massage the stretch marks for 10 minutes in a circular motion while you are in the shower.

Or use this as your exfoliator:

5 tablespoons of scrub

1 teaspoon aloe vera gel

1/2 teaspoon vitamin E

1 teaspoon cocoa butter

Rinse off afterwards.

Apply lemon juice which helps stretch marks fade. Allow it to dry, then rinse with warm water and towel dry your skin.

A derma or skin roller helps oil penetrate more deeply. If using one, use it now before you moisturize.

Exfoliante o cepillado en seco elimina capas de piel muerta para revelar piel fresca, y suave. Algunas marcas pueden ser difíciles de alcanzar y zonas como los senos son más sensibles, pero haga lo que pueda.

Use una esponja o un exfoliante, comprado o hecha en casa, sal, harina de avena, bicarbonato de sodio, café molido o albaricoque friega, con un paño húmedo. Añadir cualquiera de ellos a aceite de oliva para hacer una pasta y luego masaje las estrías durante 10 minutos en un movimiento circular mientras estás en la ducha.
O utilizarlo como tu exfoliante:
5 cucharadas de scrub
gel de aloe vera 1 cucharadita
1/2 cucharadita de vitamina E
1 cucharadita de manteca de cacao
Enjuagar luego.
Aplique jugo de limón que ayuda que la marca se desvanecen. Deje que se seque, luego enjuague con agua tibia y toalla seque la piel.

Moisturize and hydrate

The more you infuse your skin with moisture the better.

Massage any natural oil into your stretch marks. What oil you use matters less than that you regularly and vigorously massage these areas, thereby improving circulation and promoting rejuvenation.

Cocoa butter

Rose hip oil

Extra virgin olive oil

Castor oil

Emu oil

Lanolin oil

Vitamin E oil

Vitamin A

Vitamin C

Vitamin K cream

Jojobo oil

Natural shea butter

Aloe vera

Masaje cualquier aceite natural en sus estrías. ¿Qué aceite utilizas importa menos que te regularmente y masaje enérgicamente estas áreas, lo que mejorará la circulación y promover el rejuvenecimiento. Estos aceite son mis favoritos que promueven la rejuvenecimiento.
Aceite de rosa mosqueta

Aceite de oliva virgen extra
Aceite de ricino
Aceite de emú
Aceite de lanolina
Aceite de vitamina E
Vitamina A
Vitamina C
Crema de vitamina K
Aceite de Jojobo
Manteca natural de karité
Aloe vera

My Favorite Combination Of Oils

Mix almond oil, castor oil, avocado oil and vitamin E oil together.

Combine vitamin E oil and cocoa butter.

Make a paste of vitamin E rich oil such as olive oil or castor oil with aromatic herbs like mint, lemon grass, lavender, thyme, and massage for 20 minutes before going to sleep.

Bio Oil is great.

Mezclar aceite de almendras, aceite de ricino, aceite de aguacate y vitamina E aceite.

Combine aceite de vitamina E y manteca de cacao.
Haga una pasta de vitamina E de aceite rico como aceite de oliva o aceite de ricino con hierbas aromáticas como la menta, hierba de limón, lavanda, tomillo y masaje durante 20 minutos antes de ir a dormir.
Bio Oil es fantastico.

I hope that these tips were helpful for you, in the meantime learn to live with them. Being proud of your body, stretch marks and all, is a very appealing quality. 

Espero que estos tips los allan ayudado, mientras tanto aprendan a vivir con sus estrias. Estar orgulloso de su cuerpo es halgo que lo hara lucir mas bello.
