Holy sunblock, L'Oreal!






Hello beauty addicts! I had the pleasure to be invited by L'Oreal to try one of their newest products.
These will be out in Florida in December first and later everywhere else, so us sun people here in Florida get to try it first. Woohoo!




If you know anything about skincare you know that the sun is the number one enemy to our skin and youth! If not protected correctly the damages could be horrific!

L'Oreal came out with a sun care line (which I love BTW) called Sublime Sun.


I love this!

They were smart enough to come up with a Face, a body, and also a spray in diferent sizes! Now as a mommy and a woman that does not like to feel gunk on her body, the spray it's Fabulous!! It's goes on smooth and silky and it dries fast and it's water proof! (the bottle actually says Ultra water resistant) LOVE! The body and face lotion are great as well and the best part is that they come in 30 spf and 50 spf and they block UVB rays which are the ones that burn your skin and UVA which are higher wavelengths rays and both can cause skin cancer!


They get a thumbs up from me! I'm really enjoying this product!


They also Had Youth Code. OMG! My fave new product!

This product is also only available in Florida for now, but let me tell you it's great!! I had heard it being advertise and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! In short its a new technology that works with your Genes to make your skin look brighter and younger! WOW!! I've been using it since i got it and I'm in love! I especially love the eye cream it comes with a silver applicator that I love! It feels cold on the skin and it makes the eyes areas look brighter and less tired! Their day lotion it's fabulous to wear under makeup and it's not heavy at all! They also have a night cream and a great serum!

Im a skin care junkie so i like to use all these steps! If you don't personally like all these steps I at least recommend to always use an eye cream (to avoid those crow feet!) and a day cream with SPF and you can find it in this line and you can hardly feel you have it on!


I like to thank L'Oreal for inviting me to learn check out all these great products! They also gave me a great Cover it up By Emilio Sosa runner up of season 7 of project runway which I love it's grey and yellow and it fits great! YAY! Also to Dr. Flor A. Mayoral for hosting this event, what a beautiful office and staff she has!



I don't have anything bad to say about these products, I'm usually a Lancome user and their prices can be a little high, so to find sun and skin care this good and affordable it's great in my book!

Until next time beauty addicts, don't forget to protect your skin and moisturize! they will help your skin look beautiful!

so many events so little time!! What a rush!!


Hello Beauty Addicts!! Hope this November finds you in good standings and Happy moments!!

October was a crazy month for me! Activities with no end!
 I'm so glad it's over, but then again I kinda miss the fast paced, crazy work life....

           

As many of you may know, I'm a make up instructor at a beauty school, so needless to say, when October rolls around, everyone wants a piece of me or at least an extra hour of my class, because everyone wants to know how to work with special fx and how to create great looks for their parties and outings, not to mention We participate in different events as a school and this year we had 3 hunted houses back to back.
 I Love it!

 


The month started with my students and I working on the movie set for the movie "The Shift" so I had my students audition to be makeup artist and then I trained them, and then we went on to shoot the 
movie for a couple of days.





 After that I started my FX classes, which were full every day, 3 times a day! 
so that's crazy! 



Then I started training them to work in the hunted house. I have teams of 20 students and 3 hunted houses, which had several meeting and I had to get together a list of supply's for each and for some I had to go find the supplies my self! Then came time for me to split my self in 3! LOL I managed and it was great!!










Then I couldn't forget about my youtube family so I had to film some Halloween tutorial, and in the mist of it all I also did a contest! LOL!! I'm crazy!


 I won't complain, I love every minute of this fast paced make up artist life! 

Now i'm back to the regularly schedule program! LOL.. Teaching and doing Jobs in the weekend, and Filming my tutorial and writing my blog and maintaining my Facebook page!.... Never a dull moment! Oh and don't forget trying to squeeze personal life in there some where...


Just Kidding! I squeeze everything else in to fit into this! My son and my relationship with God are my Life! Everything else is a plus!

I wanted to leave you with some great Pictures of all the events I Worked on during the month of October and Of course  the great Halloween tutorial I created!!

Happy Zombie dreams until next time Beauty Addicts!!!
