Behind the scene : Infomercial

Hello Beauty Addicts!

As some of you may know I work for a beauty school!
They decided to make a new infomercial and invited my team to work on the models and students!

How exciting!! Right? Right!!


 

Oh Yeah! Isn't my hair super cool!! 


 We get there and are ready to work, and then they tell us....... You guys are the Models and students and we want your testimonials and we are going to shoot different scenes! 



WHAT?!?!?

No problem! We are professionals!




We did hair and makeup on each other and then also on models that they hired for us to work on for different scenes they were shooting!




It was so much fun, and I'm so excited that i'm going to be in a commercial! LOL!



Until next time beauty addicts, See you during the break! LOL!

Music Video Shoot: Bobby Cruz and Iglesia Casa de Alabanza

I get projects sent my way often. When I got this call however, I was soo excited!

I received an email asking me if I would be willing to do the makeup for a video shoot. Not just any video shoot, a video shoot for the new Eres Santo CD from Iglesia Casa De Alabanza featuring Bobby Cruz.



The question to me seemed silly because in reality, how could I not!
I've been a member Of Iglesia Casa de Alabanza since I was 15. Not only do I love my church, but I love my pastors too! Bobby Cruz is the apostle! With all the blessings, I've received from just being a member of the church, how could I ever say no!


I made sure they had the BEST makeup ever for this video so I assembled a team and went to Homestead Florida to do our thing!



I'm very GRATEFUL that my beautiful friends were willing to come and help. They did an amazing job!
An hour and a half later, my two friends and I did the main cast which was about 8 people (I think!). They then asked us to do the extras (the church crowd in the video). Just a touch up, which we called drive-thru makeup! LOL



There was a huge line of women...we added powder, blush, lipstick and yelled "NEXT" until we were done! It was so much fun!


This was an experience that not only was I, very happy to be a part of, but will remember forever!

A special thanks to Cindy Cruz Ortiz for thinking of me for this awesome opportunity!

L'Oreal Destination Beauty contest



Hello Beauty Addicts!!!

Today I entered L'Oreal Destination beauty, search for the next beauty guru.

As you may know, I really enjoy making youtube beauty videos, and I would love to be a Beauty Guru... 

Well L'Oreal is giving one lucky person that chance!
The Rules are that you have to make a beauty video that's 4 minutes long on a red carpet inspired look.

I decided to do a deep crease look with dark in the corners, that look helps your eyes look longer and open and not to mention super sexy!! 

Here is the video I made! Hope you all love it!
