My FIRST MAC lipstick!

I know, I know..how could I be #SpoiledLatina's assistant and not have known the wonders of MAC Cosmetics? I bet some of y'all don't even believe this.

But, in my defense, I had fallen in love with Smashbox and TooFaced and thought I was good. So, what prompted me to stroll into my local MAC? Well! Being that I fell in love with Smashbox and TooFaced in HIGH SCHOOL and I am graduating from COLLEGE next year, I thought it might be time to make more grown up decisions. And, I'll just add in, that this decision went a million times better than my Brazilian disaster (more on that later).

To be completely honest, I was terrified of walking into MAC. It is kind of intimidating for someone who doesn't consider themselves a make-up junkie. So I did some research first (you know me) and decided that I would be looking for a berry shade. I didn't go in with an exact shade that I wanted, because I wanted to actually get the MAC experience with their trained artists.

At the store I had a wonderful woman who approached me immediately (I love that!). After finding out what shade I was looking for, she didn't immediately start shoving all of her lipstick knowledge down my throat or throwing open tubes of lipstick at me like a dart board. I was so impressed! Instead, she started asking me questions about what I wanted the shade for, and what kind of work I did (easy, I'm #Spoiled), among other things. Then she allowed me to pick the shades that caught my eye, none of which worked for me (lol). Regardless, she was helpful and let me test them all out. Right when I was losing hope she suggested two shades of lipstick that showed me love like I have never experienced before.

MAC Lipstick in Rebel

MAC Sheen Supreme in Zen Rose

These shades stole my heart today.

They were out of Zen Rose, but believe me, I am in Houston today and I am coming for her.

But there was no way I was going to leave without Rebel.

 Here is my natural lip and here is my Rebel lip! I love it!

I am a true MAC believer now. My shopping trip was a true experience and my product is amazing.
I will be back soon to add my sprouting collection of MAC lipsticks.

#SpoiledOnes, tell me your favorite lipstick!

#OOTD Trip to Houston

Heading to The H, Houston, Texas, Today! 

Look How I Travel: 

I always travel comfortably! So for me that means: leggings, oversized sweater/shirt and super comfortable shoes. 

Today I have on the cutest sweater from Lauren Conrad available at Kohl's, leggings that I got from Forever 21, and my black tall Ugg boots.  

I put my hair in a high ponytail to keep it out of my face. And, because of the way my skin is, I have to wear makeup while traveling or else I get really oily. Today I have on Garnier Fructis BB cream in medium, Smashbox hydrating setting powder, also in medium. I contoured a little with the bronzer from E.L.F. blush and bronzed due. And, I finished my look with MAC lipstick in Rebel!   

Remember, the cutest way to travel is in comfort!

Hope you like it #SpoiledOnes!

A night out with Marissa Lopez Wong - Mario Lopez sister

A couple of weeks ago, Mario Lopez was set to make an appearance at Lumen Lounge and due to things beyond our control he could not make it. However after speaking to him, he asked me to host his sister and brother in law and I gladly did. Marissa Lopez Wong is an author as well as sister to top Latin TV Host Mario Lopez and Kailee Wong is a retired NFL player. They live in Houston with their children and after a good dinner they celebrated the night away at Lumen. 

Waiting on when Mario will remake his appearance, hopefully it will be soon!

Jay-Z x Houston x video

Love a Jay-Z show and our seats were literally the best seats in the house. 6th row front and center. December 19th the Houston Toyota Center was the place to be. I want to say this was my 8th or 9th Jay-Z show and every single time he performs it is like a new experience. I have been a fan since Reasonable Doubt so there was no way he was coming to Houston and me not go. 

I got some great footage of Jay-Z. Some however was unfocused due to my camera falling and the lens damage and shaky because I was trying to dance. lol

enjoy!

A GREAT WAY TO SPEND THE HOLIDAYS: Official Houston CityPASS®

Hey #SpoiledOnes!


As you can probably tell, Yvonne has been all over the place lately! But one thing she never forgets to do is make time for AC. With a break from school, she wanted to make sure he is still being stimulated, and what better way than through the arts of Houston! So this holiday season she is using the Official Houston CityPASS®.

So what is the Official Houston CityPASS®?

Its a 9 day pass that can be used at the Space Center Houston, Downtown Aquarium, Museum of Natural Science, Houston Zoo or Kemah Boardwalk, The Children's Museum of Houston or Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Why did Yvonne use the Official Houston CityPASS®?

It saves her 50% off  the total entry costs for all of those place combined! And, she got 9 days to go to all of those places. Plus, she got to "skip the line" with the pass.

Yvonne's Thoughts:

"This pass made it easy for me to get into the venue. I didn't have to hassle with the lines. Which, as a mom to a 4-year-old that is a blessing! All of the places we went to were here in Houston and kept AC entertained the entire time. I feel like he is at an age where he can begin to understand and learn about whats going on around him. And since he is on his holiday break from school, it has provided us with some much needed mommy-son time this holiday season!

Wish I could have gone with them!
Here is more information about the Official Houston CityPASS!

XO,
Mason

Petra Nemcova visits Houston

Supermodel, Petra Nemcova launched her candle line in Houston last week at Cakewalk Style and I was delighted to be there.  Be The Light is a luxury home décor brand that's inspired by Petra's life of traveling. The scents are fascinating just as the countries she has discovered while learning their treasures.  I loved her Mexican Cacao Mystique candle however they all had a beautiful scent. 

Besides landing the covers of Sports Illustrated and walking the runways, she is on the cover of Forbes Life this month. She had not physically seen the magazine herself since its release, she was glad I brought it with me. I felt bad about her not seeing it before, as she skimmed through the pages looking for her spread I thought about giving her the magazine but I also wanted it for myself. 

She was so nice and gracious of the Hennessy VS that I gifted her. 

Take a look at the video below.

Despicable Me 2 with AC! [Giveaway!]

Hey #SpoiledOnes!

I hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving! I know I am still stuffed! lol

But I am so happy that I got to spend so much time with my family this holiday, including, my #SpoiledLatina family. I needed to go meet The SpoiledLatina herself, Yvonne, to work on somethings for the blog. But while I was there, I got to spend some time with the cutest kid I know, AC! We watched Despicable Me 2 and let me tell you, IT IS THE CUTEST MOVIE EVER!!! It kept his attention and mine for the entire movie and I can not wait to share it with my little cousins. I loved the first Despicable Me, but the second one is even better. This will definitely be a gift I include on my shopping list for Christmas.

But here MovieGuide gives a way better description of the movie:

“Despicable Me 2 is the top box-office comedy of the year and is poised for spectacular success on home entertainment this holiday season,” said Craig Kornblau, president of Universal Studios Home Entertainment. “This adored franchise, with its iconic lovable Minions, stands apart from all others and is sure to be at the top of everyone’s wish list this December.”

Gru, his adorable girls, and the mischievous Minions are back with a cast of unforgettable new characters in the blockbuster sequel to the worldwide phenomenon.  Just as Gru has given up being super-bad to be a super-dad, the Anti-Villain League recruits him to track down a new criminal mastermind and save the world.   Partnered with secret agent Lucy Wilde, Gru, along with the wildly unpredictable Minions, must figure out how to keep his cover while also keeping up with his duties as a father.  Assemble the Minions for laugh-out-loud comedy in “one of the funniest, most enjoyable movies ever!” (MovieGuide®)

Check out this short video to see more:

BUT, of course, we have to share the fun! We have a Despicable Me 2 prize pack to give away!

Look at these COVERGIRL's!

#SpoiledOnes,

We love make-up, I mean LOVE make-up. So we are super excited to share with you these gorgeous looks with insider tips from the actually make-up artist, Jake Bailey.

We will start with Becky G's look since it is simple and sweet. This look would also be perfect for a nice night out with friends or toned down family day during the holidays. 

"To create that fresh faced dewy look Becky G started with COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation in Buff Beige #825. She used COVERGIRL Clean Glow Blush in peaches 110. This blush provides a flush of lightweight, blendable color. This versatile 3-in-1 multi-shade compact lets you customize your color to create a radiant effect. 

Becky’s favorite feature is her eyes so we played those up with COVERGIRL’s Flamed Out Shadow Pot in Charcoal (335), sweeping the shadow on lightly across her lid to maintain a soft delicate eye look.

Ink It! Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner in Black (230) eyeliner was applied on the upper lid and lower lid to make a bold statement. To finish off the eyes Flamed Out Mascara in Very Black Blaze (300) was applied.

Since Becky G’s eyes and dress were bold the lip color was kept soft and natural using COVERGIRL Lip Perfection in Smolder #205."

Now for Katy Perry's looks. Her red carpet look is perfect for a bold holiday occasion. Super sexy as we all should be.  Wear it to that "Party of the Year" holiday party and turn heads!

"I started with a sheer application of COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation in Buff Beige #825. This foundation is perfect. It lasts forever and [has] 20 SPF.

For the eyes I started by creating a classic Hollywood eye line using COVERGIRL Liquiline Blast Eyeliner in Black Fire #410. I love this pencil because you can create the look of a liquid liner but it's much easier to apply. I accentuated the crease of her lid using Flamed Out Shadow Pot in Melted Caramel #330 and finished with the NEW Bombshell Volume Mascara in Very Black #800 – it creates extreme volume!

I then set the foundation with a light dusting of COVERGIRL + Olay Pressed Powder in Light #330 and warmed the apples of her cheeks with Clean Glow Blush in Roses #100

I finished the look with a classic bold red lip. I used COVERGIRL LipPerfection in Hot #305 with matching liner. I used the liner to perfect her lip shape before applying color."
