Reina Rebelde

Hi Sweets!  Happy May!
Today I'm celebrating Latina beauty with Reina Rebelde which means "rebellious queen" in English.  A new beauty line that celebrates the unique beauty of Latina Women.  
Reina Rebelde was born out of something I share with all Latinas — a passion for makeup and extreme pride for my cultural identity. I’m driven by knowing that today’s mujer can’t be defined or placed in just one box,” says  Regina Merson, Founder and CEO. 

   Let me tell you, I'm obsessed!  The line is bold and sexy but also super feminine.  The packaging itself, is a work of art.  

 The colors are gorgeous!  Bright pinks and bold reds!  The lip color stick in "Rosa Salvaje" is my favorite.  The names were inspired by attitudes that every Latina woman can relate to.  This wild pink is perfect for Spring. 

Another favorite was the "On your face + Color Trio in Coqueta, which means flirt.  The face contour color trio includes a pearl rose blush, matte bronzer and pearl white highlighter.  The perfect face palette to take with you on the go.  

You'll also love their 4 Play Wet/Dry Shadow Palette and the Rebel Eye Paint for those perfect brows.   There's lots to love about this line, no matter your heritage.

Maybelline Eye Studio

My makeup routine is never complete without...........you guessed it!  MASCARA!  My everyday makeup is pretty simple with the exception of my lashes.  My lashes need to be voluptuous and bold!  Which they are neither without a good mascara.  Even on days that I don't wear makeup, I find myself applying a coat or two. 

I got the chance to try the new Maybelline Eye Studio collection and I was super impressed!  My favorite of the collection is The Big Shot mascara which is collagen fueled with wavy bristles to coat even your tiniest lash.  The unique design gathers more formula, boosting length and volume!  No smudging or clumping!  The entire collection works so well together.  The Liquid Ink Pen Eye Liners ultra thin tip creates perfect smooth lines.  A cat eyes dream! 

With gold, bronze, and copper shades your going to love the 24K Nudes Palette.  The shadows come in both matte and shimmery finishes.  Perfect for creating that smokey eye we all love.

 

The collection launched this month and is available at most retail stores.  With the pieces being super affordable, it'll be easy to get your signature look!

SuperStay Better Skin Challenge

 SuperStay Better Skin Foundation c/o - Influenster

 

We all want better skin.  OBVI!  I had the opportunity to test Maybelline's new foundation SuperStay Better Skin, and let me tell you, I LOVED it. 

My skin actually feels smoother and even brighter. 

 

Maybelline's Super Stay foundation is an all day flawless coverage foundation that improves your skin and unevenness.  It also reduces the look of spots and dullness.  It contains ACTYL-C, a more durable form of vitamin C.  Its a medium to full coverage foundation.   

 

Ok so the first thing that I loved was the pump, so easy for application.  I also noticed that it goes on super smooth.  I was scared that the color wouldn't match my skin tone, but it was perfect.  Its super light weight and it really covered my imperfections.  Plus it has SPF!  Soooooo important for your skin!  After wearing it for a few days, I actually felt my skin smoother.  I don't know if you can tell in the before picture, but my forehead was breaking out so bad and its clearing up!!!!  I even see a difference in my eye area.  I always use a primer and a setting powder, especially during the summer.  All in all, I was truly impressed and will purchase this foundation again.  If you have problem skin, I think you should definitely give it a try.  You can get a $2 off coupon on Maybelline's website!

Birchbox & W3llPeople

I love makeup for breakfast!  On Friday I was invited to breakfast with Birchbox and W3LL People.  The Birchbox HQ was so chic, open, and FUN!  Looks like a fun place to work, and of course beauty products everywhere! 

I was super early.  Breakfast was at 9 and I got there at 8:30, my friends would be proud!  #alwayslate

 

 

W3LL People is makeup that is 100% all natural with organic aloe. 

Co-founder and makeup guru Shirley Pinkson, shared the wonders of how well “green” cosmetics can really work.  W3LL People received a "Green Star" by Elle Magazine.  That's the best of the best in natural and organic cosmetics.  The judges faves were the Hedonist All Natural Mineral Bronzer and the Hypnotist Natural Eyepencil. 

I got to play with the entire collection and everything felt so velvety and smooth.  My favorite product of the line has to be the UNIVERSALIST LUMINOUS MULTI-USE COLORSTICK.  It comes in all these wonderful colors and you can pretty much stick it anywhere.
