I was able to gain some really great beauty tips from the man himself....read below for some valuable info!

1. What are you most excited about with the Dolce Matte Lipstick and Summer Shine Collection launches?

The Dolce&Gabbana Dolce Matte Lipstick Collection is an incredible line of lip shades. The color choice, product quality and finish are incomparable. It's pretty much all I'm using on lips at the moment. People really respond to these rich matte long wearing lips. The crimson and cherry shades in particular are just stunning.

As for the Dolce&Gabbana Summer Shine Collection, the peachy cheeks and sultry, sexy and smoky eyes are always a go-to classic for me. I am all about this look!

2. When do you recommend using a matte vs. shine?

I think Dolce&Gabbana Matte Foundation is great for the T zone area as that's where people tend to get oily. The Matte Foundation and Matte Concealer are especially great for sustaining smooth, clear skin. Adding shine is great for the cheekbone and lips – these areas can always use a little glow to create a very flattering highlight.

That said, my favorite summer look combines dewy skin via Luminous Liquid Sheer Foundation and a rich Dolce Matte Lipstick. The Dolce Matte Lipstick is actually very practical as it stays put even in the heat; so you don’t have to constantly check your compact mirror, you can relax!

3. What beauty regime would you recommend for mornings and evenings?

For evening it is important to thoroughly cleanse the skin and moisturize before bed. This is when your skin really gets to rest and rejuvenate, and you can use a cream like the Dolce&Gabbana Aurealux Cream, which is rich. In the morning refresh the skin with a light cleanser and moisturize. The Dolce&Gabbana Sheer Radiance Primer has UV protection and is a must-have to prep your skin for your color decisions of the day!

4. How should we protect our skin for this upcoming summer season? And what product do you highly recommend for keeping our skin flawless?

Sunscreen! Dolce&Gabbana Essential UV Cream has SPF 15 and serves as a great moisturizer. Paired with Dolce&Gabbana Sheer Radiance Primer, Dolce&Gabbana Matte Concealer and Dolce&Gabbana Perfection Veil Pressed Powder you will see a tiptop complexion. At night, the Dolce&Gabbana Aurealux Masks are brilliant for boosting the skin's condition and radiance.

5. What is your favorite matte color and shine color in the collection? 

I can’t wait to see women wearing the Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue Lipstick from the Summer Shine Collection! I personally tend to gravitate towards peaches and golds which are super flattering on everyone and go seamlessly from day to night. The Dolce&Gabbana Shine On Lipstick is a personal favorite to create a sexy nude lip.

For the Dolce Matte Lipsticks, I love Dolce Desire, which is incredibly sophisticated chic. Beautifully bold.

6. Outdoor parties and summer soirées are right around the corner, how can I minimize oily and shiny skin outdoors? 

Light moisturizers and sunscreens for a start - these serves as a great way to combat a shiny face. You don't want your face weighed down with excess product in the heat and humidity. The Dolce&Gabbana Matte Foundations and Matte Concealers are superb for oil control and really are high performance makeup for a smooth flawless complexion in the heat.

Hope to see you guys there!!

Oprah #LifeYouWantWeekend #Tour was nothing short of life changing [Part 1]

This post will start off a 4-part recap of the Life You Want Tour. 

I will go over what I took away from each speaker. 

I hope that I do a good enough job that you too be able to understand how to have the Life You Want.

To begin with, being in the presence of Oprah for two days in a row was a feat on its OWN. (see what I did there?) But, secondly the way she and her guest speakers spoke life into your soul was honestly a privilege to enjoy.

Oprah opened with a segmented on how our lives are connected by dots.

She explained how our "dots" connect to make our life what it is today. One of her "dots" was when she was about still very little. Her grandmother, who was caring for her, was outside boiling clothes and hanging them. Oprah was standing on the doorway about to churn butter when her grandmother shouted back at her, "You better watch me real good because one day you will have to do the same." At that moment, Oprah thought in her head, "No I am not."

She said it was even then that she understood she was going to do something greater. As she got older, she said she would get complimented on how well she spoke publicly or how well she read. All the way until she was 16 years old, getting a spot at a local radio station which eventually lead her way into a news anchor. All of those moments would make up her dots that connected to her where she is today.

Co-creating our lives

This section focused on how our lives are designed by the decisions we make and the way choose to think about those decisions. The way we speak to and about ourselves WILL shape our overall outlook.

The whole focus of this part was  that "everything you've been through will help you get through." Her whole life had prepared her to use her gifts to share her voice. She goes on to say that God (whomever you choose to say is God) puts certain gifts and situations in front of us to help guide our understandings. But the way we speak to ourselves will also help manifest those thoughts and ideas into life.

Her example here was when she was reading the Color Purple. She loved the book so much she bought copies and handed them out to everyone she knew. She so badly wanted to be in the movie but had lost hope on getting the part. But her attempts to speak it into existences say it manifest.

Her next lesson: Wanting for others

This lesson actually asked the audience to thing about someone they truly love and the clearly envision a life for them. What kind of car would they drive? What kind of house would they have? How many kids? Job? Friends? Where would they be? 

In understanding, it was what you would be willing to give that person if we could. What dreams of theirs would you want to see fulfilled and would be able to be truly happy to see them achieve. This is to help us understand the power of giving and also how to want for others. This lesson is powerful, it really tests your willing to give. But also shows how easy it is to want to see someone you love happy. 

To piggy back off of her earlier example, she said she finally had to come to terms with the possibility that the other actor was going to get the part and to allow herself to be happy for her and blessings before she was able to find out that she indeed had gotten the part.

A few weeks ago; I hosted Maurice Hennessy, who is the 8th generation descendant to the Hennessy family. Mr. Hennessy sat down for a dinner with some of my favorite Houston Latino influencers such as Chingo Bling, MMA fighter Angel Huerta, La Mafia and Hipolito Acosta to name a few.

Americas in The Woodlands - Dining

Dinner at Americas in The Woodlands, Waterways Square was great. Although, it was cold, rainy and most businesses were shut down for the evening due to the weather; Americas was open for business.  The ambience was warm and cozy, the view and scenery looking outdoors from our dining table was beautiful. 

Business dinners are usually boring, but my business dinner was fun. Lots of laughs, great food and so excited for 2014 and Houston.

If you are ever in the Houston area, I highly suggest visiting The Woodlands, Waterway Square. Shopping, dining and family fun all in one place. 

Xxo!

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

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.

Although not as cold as I anticipated the evening would be, this ensemble worked for the occasion.

A Hennessy night out with some friends on a Thursday, I wore fitted brown military style jeans, a woven design sweater and some sandals with a gold cuff around the ankles. I thought the gold accent on the shoes gave the outfit an extra pop of life. 

H&M everything, minus the jewels and shoes :)
