My 5 Fave Beauty Tips To Get You Holiday Ready

My 5 Fave Beauty Tips To Get You Holiday Ready

 


The holiday hustle is officially upon us! ‘Tis the season, whether in person or from a distance, to enjoy quality time and true connection with our loved ones. Are you someone like me who finds true connection and bonding while getting ready, Ever bare your soul while styling your Hermana’s hair? Or share a secret with your Prima while trying on shoes? If the answer is yes, you know that the real bonding happens while you’re getting ready.

That’s why we’re excited to share Spoiled Latina’s five favorite and oh-so-useful beauty tips to help you get holiday ready. Because having an “ah-ha” makeup moment - like when your Burt’s Bees tinted lip balm brings that perfect shine - is truly the gift that keeps on giving.



#1: A good base is key to a flawless, long-lasting holiday lewk

Exfoliate and use a good moisturizer before applying any and all makeup, but this is especially true for that smile! We love this DIY homemade scrub: (1) Mix brown sugar and extra virgin olive oil into a small bowl (2) Apply a small amount with pads of your fingers (3) Rinse with lukewarm water and air-dry.

#2: Focus on one show stopping feature with your makeup

We all love holiday parties and want to get all dolled up—but don’t overdo it. Avoid going all out with lips, eyes, cheeks, and hair. In other words, less is more! If you’re going for a bold lip, then go for a neutral eye. Or, if dramatic eyes and lashes are your thing, your Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm will balance with a soft dewy lip!

#3: A fresh face, and moisturizer does it every time

For daytime activities, such as getting the house ready for company I would keep a fresh face but make sure to moisturize. One moisturizer that I have been obsessing over and I know that you will appreciate is the Burt’s Bee’s Firming Day Lotion. It is lightweight and is my SPF and daily moisturizer all in one.

#4: Buy products that are multi-purpose

When you’re short on time or travel space, grab products that can serve multiple purposes. Did you know your mascara can double as brow gel?

#5: Keep your Burt’s Bees lip balm on hand and ready at all times!

Come New Year’s Eve before midnight, you’ll be glad you have your Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm! Pro-tip: Throw it in your clutch for all-night use. It also makes the perfect stocking stuffer for everyone on your list! Trust, you will thank us later!


In short ladies, keep it cute, simple and make sure that your lips and face stays moisturized during the holiday season and spoil yourself by taking care of yourself. Click here for easy holiday Burt’s Bees glam that will have you smiling and creating quality memories into the new year.

Summer wear with Dove Dry Serum

Summer wear with Dove Dry Serum

 

Sponsored post by Mirum 

Summer time means the less clothes possible, at least it does when one is in Miami. Ladies, you know I am not lying - when in Miami we should wear cute little dresses, bathing suits, and dress up to party the night away. Something that I am not used to, the little dresses I mean. However, I recently took a girls trip to steamy South Beach and decided to obviously, pack cute little dresses and beach wear. I packed the necessary essentials to make this trip a good one, necessary essentials meaning Antiperspirant.

Miami is a different heat than Houston weather and although I was in Miami this weekend I had already made my mind up in Houston that I was packing the new Dove Dry Serum Antiperspirant because it makes me feel confident in any outfit where I have to show my arms which is most days in the summer. I have been using it for a few weeks now and have loved the results. It's moisturizing my delicate underarm skin with a luxurious and light weight texture that dries instantly. I love instant and being able to feel confident that I won't smell like hot weather. 


Powder Finish – A sophisticated floral fragrance of iris, violet and powdery musk Jasmine Touch – Scented with soft, dewy greens and jasmine 

Rose Silk – Uplifting fragrance with notes of rose, magnolia and peony


I love introducing new products to my friends so I brought along all 3 scents of the New Dove Dry Serum Antiperspirants. I always like to bring along a little gift for my roommates, this time my girl got to indulge in this luxurious, dry antiperspirant deodorant which is a totally a unique experience. I made her try it and she loved the sheer, ultra-lightweight formula that absorbed instantly, leaving her skin soft, smooth and dry to the touch. The best part for me is the 48-hour protection so you that I can wear anything with confidence along with Dove’s signature 1⁄4 moisturizers to pamper your underarms. Obviously, I would shower way before 48 hours, but just in case I decide to run wild in Miami, I am protected.

You guys should totally try it! If you're in Texas or have an HEB near you use the following offer which is valid today through July 23rd. It's for a buy 1 Dove Dry Serum Antiperspirant and get 1 Women's Schick Disposable Razor in an assorted variety for free. You can download your coupon here or pick one up at your favorite HEB location. 

I really think you're going to love the switch from what you currently wear to Dove Dry Serum, and when you do - don't forget to share it with your girl friends!

Crest 3D Whitening Therapy introduces new formulas

Crest 3D Whitening Therapy introduces new formulas


Shopping for toothpaste can be the easiest task or the most challenging. Do you go with what is safe and you are used to or are you adventurous and like to try new things?

What I love is when someone can recommend an outstanding product regardless of how long it’s been sitting on a retail shelf.

Crest 3D White Whitening Therapy has introduced two new formulas to its existing line and I recently got a chance to review them so hopefully one or both become a staple in your daily routine.


We have all seen the very popular videos of people brushing with charcoal infused pastes. The before and after always look great but what most fail to showcase is the mess it leaves on your counter, vanity mirror and all around your sink. After trying the new Crest 3D White Whitening Therapy with Charcoal toothpaste I loved that it provides the amazing benefits of purifying your teeth surface for a whiter, cleaner smile without having to clean your bathroom after the simple task as brushing your teeth. Truly a #BetterWayToCharcoal and perfect for those charcoal lovers looking for a no mess approach!

If you are looking to try something completely new test out the Crest 3D White Whitening Therapy with Coconut Oil. My son and I loved its vanilla mint flavor and long-lasting fresh feeling this paste provides. I’ve even included this new flavor in my guest bathroom because I want to get feedback from family and friends spending the night since the flavor might be a little unexpected, but with the same deep clean benefits they expect from Crest.

Both new products are available at Target and if you spend $20 you’ll get $5 deal available the week of 3/17. The offer is good on select beauty and personal care items, so shop now to receive your $5 Target gift card.

Farewell February

Farewell February

February has got to be my favorite month of the year simply because of the pink and red, the hearts the kisses, the chocolate and the cookies. Everything about Valentine’s Day, I’m with it. But as we all know the cookies and sweets last past beyond Valentine’s Day for example, the girls and I spent Galentine’s Day together this past weekend and we surely ate lots of sweets.



I’m ready to kick my oral hygiene into high gear as we all should and that’s why I’m excited to partner with Crest once again to let you guys know a new coupon is available on the Cartwheel app to get $2.00 off of some of my favorite Crest products including Pro-Health, Complete, and 3D White at Target.(Coupon available in Sunday newspaper as well.) You can also get a $5 gift card if you purchase 4 select beauty/personal care items.

Now that Valentine’s Day is over doesn’t mean the love and sweets have to end...just know me and Crest will be by your side to keep that smile looking bright and white.


A healthy oral hygiene is key entering 2019

A healthy oral hygiene is key entering 2019

I just love this past holiday season because it’s my last time to over indulge in all the goodness of holiday desserts, treats, food and all things that are good stuff. It’s also a reminder that the new year is upon us and having a healthy oral hygiene entering 2019 is important. 

I have an 8 year old as you know and his oral regimen and maintaining a healthy smile is my duty, so as a mother - I’m constantly speaking the importance of brushing and flossing. Even though if


It was up to my son which thinks brushing once a week is ok. I am THAT MOM - I still brush his teeth for him, that way I feel comfortable that I’ve flossed and brushed his teeth. 


Luckily for us Target has a variety of sales that we can take advantage of to stock up on @Crest 3D White products that’ll help achieve our goals. Receive $2.00 off my favorite Crest 3D Whitening Therapy Enamel Care toothpaste with the Cartwheel app and also tell your family and friend about their “buy 4 Get $5” promotion where you’ll receive a $5 Target gift card after a purchase of four Crest personal care items.

Better Together (sponsored post)

Sponsored post by Mirum

With my hubby and little man in the house things can get hectic. We all have packed schedules that require us to be on the go all day. That’s why I love using Caress Daily Silk Body wash Value Pack and my boys are smelling great with Axe Black from Sam’s Club. They are quick, easy to travel with, and smell great.



But best of all, Sam’s Club carries them! So, I can grab them while I am stocking the house up, and we have enough for both my guys!

Preparing for the day, freshening up mid-day, or getting ready for a night out, a quick blast of confidence from Axe is what my boys need.

But with Axe Black and Caress, my entire family is #BetterTogetherSC!



And Caress is for me, it gives me just what I need to start my day feeling fresh and lovely. I also love the reassurance that I smell great through out the day. 

And after a long day it is the perfect way to relax. 

And Sam’s makes it so easy to pick it up and go with their new app. Scan and Go! It makes my shopping trips so much quicker as I can scan my own products as I grab them!

Sam’s Club, Axe Black, and Caress all make my life easier and make sure my family is taken care of. 



We are #BetterTogetherSC!

HEB x SpoiledLatina Hair Care commercial
Hi Spoiled Ones! 

Hope you're having a fabulous week and if you aren't, I promise it gets better!

Sometimes even going to my favorite H-E-B can make things all better for me. I know what you're thinking, H-E-B? the grocery store?! Lol - Yup, it always works for me!

As silly as it sounds I love going shopping for groceries at H-E-B, because it gives me time to walk as slow as I want, discover new brands and sample the delicious foods if I'm lucky enough to walk in on one of those days.
 Most often I go alone and I do this on purpose, I don't have Anthony (my son) asking me 101 questions and I treat myself with beauty finds from the beauty department. 

I am super excited to have collaborated with H-E-B in sharing some of my favorite hair care products. Watch the video below and take advantage of the savings happening now at MY H-E-B!




  • Save $5 when you purchase $15 of Suave, Dove or AXE offer valid: 7/19/17 – 8/1/17

#TimeToSmile Oral Health Month

#TimeToSmile Oral Health Month

“This post was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive”


I’ve partnered with Colgate to spread the importance of a healthy smile for Oral Health Month #TimeToSmile #SonrisaColgate.


One of the most important things we can do as parents is teach our children the importance of oral hygiene. Anthony- my son, is now 7 years old, he has lost 3 teeth so far and slowly his permanent teeth are coming in. This parenting stuff isn't easy, we don’t have a manual on how to be the best mommy and daddy but we sure have the wits and knowledge to know that a healthy smile is important. I love to spend quality time with my son and the more things I can do with him means the more I can teach him. This month we are focusing on Oral Health. He knows the fundamentals - brushing after meals, flossing these pretty little gums of his daily and his favorite part of the routine….mouth wash!


One thing that I enjoy doing with Anthony is brushing his teeth. Yes, he’s 7. Yes, he’s a little big boy and should already know how to brush but I don't mind doing it for him. At the same time that I am brushing, I am showing him how to brush, telling him the importance of a healthy white smile and I am building a trusting bond with my child. I love how he shows me his pearly whites after every brush.



Did you know that according to a Colgate-Palmolive/Toluna Survey in March 2016, Hispanics report oral health issues at higher rates than the general U.S. population? Yup, 87% of the Hispanic parents surveyed know that early oral care education is very important for their children, however 59% think they can do a better job of it. As a busy mom, I can relate. I am glad I partnered with Colgate to remind me and my family of the importance of a clean mouth. 


Colgate is committed to improving oral health for everyone to have a future they can smile about. Colgate and the American Dental Association (ADA) will continue partnering in the campaign “Oral Health Month: Share More Time, Share More Smiles”.I hope you do the same with your little ones. You can also help spread the word that for every image liked, shared, or posted on social media between June 1, 2017 and June 30, 2017 with the hashtag #TimeToSmile, Colgate will donate $1 (min. $10k, max. $40k) to the ADA Foundation’s Give Kids A Smile® program that provides free oral health care, education and screening to underserved children. 


Colgate, in partnership with the ADA, also offers bilingual oral health education materials such as shareable infographics, activity sheets for kids, and other oral care resources on colgate.com/sonrisas. Bilingual videos, articles, downloadable family activities will also be available on the ADA’s site MouthHealthy.org/OralHealthMonth.

I'm a Reina Rebelde


If you have been visiting my IG page lately, you might have seen me rocking my fierce Moreton color lipstick by Reina Rebelde. Reina Rebelde is a new makeup line created for the todays mujer. 
The exquisite and ambitious woman who embodies her powerful cultural duality by showing her gran belleza to the world. She is blessed with many choices: she speaks English y algunas veces espaƱol. Because We Can!
She loves being Latina and Americana. She equally celebrates the beauty of her Reina and fierceness and grit of her Rebelde. She embraces her duality and has always understood the fuerza that the perfect shade of lipstick provides to her already-dynamic life and how it powerfully transforms her mysterious beauty. 



I am so inspired by how my Latina friends and colleagues are so strong minded, dress with courage and sass yet are heart warming and loving.  We know we are smart yet rebellious and thats why I am delighted to be partnering with Reina Rebelde. They are a makeup brand that unapologetically allows  us Latinas to freely celebrate the duality of our lives with products that bring out the pride in our beautiful heritage, the fierceness of our spirit and the mysteriousness of our natural beauty.

caught in the moment at the Drake show
I love the dark, rich color in the Moreton shade that you are seeing in the pictures. Dark Goddess, for a fun night out with my friends. It's like a cross between chola and high fashion.  lol I l got so many compliments on the color...If you're interested in the shades and the collection as a whole visit http://reinarebelde.com

Simple Sunrise for your skin

We all know that Wal-Mart carries a large variety of skincare products and naturally as shoppers we tend to stick with brands that we have previously used and are comfortable with.  Today, I am sharing info about Simple Sunrise products.  Gentle products that are tough on makeup that you should try.



Walmart now carries Simple’s new formulas - Hydrating Cleansing Oil & Dual Effect Eye-Makeup Remover, gentle formulas to ensure makeup comes off cleanly.  I am super busy and make up is a big part of my life, thats why I recommend these wipes, they take all the make up off of your face without leaving the streets of mascara or eyeliner. The beauty of Simple is while its cleaning your face, it i also hydrating and conditioning our skin.

Not only does Suave come in a variety of scents it performs just as well as a premium brand for a whole lot less and that my friend, makes me smile. My husband is the Suave purchaser and I'm the user. lol I use the conditioner, my hair is thick and find that the Suave conditioner helps detangle my hair and leaves it soft, manageable and beautiful. That's one way I spoil myself. I also use the Suave Kids Purely Fun 3 in 1 Shampoo, Conditioner & Body Wash on my son, Anthony. Of course, I use the conditioner as well for his hard to handle curls.



My mom, the Suave queen introduced me to the brand as a child, matter of fact she still buys it. She loves it. She prefers the Suave Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner, she says it makes her feel as if she's in Miami. I love that woman!

How I get #Unready with Neutrogena

How I get #Unready with Neutrogena


Taking off my makeup after a long day of work can be a hassle especially when you are tired. It just seems like way more work. However, we should never fall to sleep with make up on. Washing our face is the first step to healthy skin.  I have been using Neutrogena fragrance fee make up remover wipes and the Deep Clean Gentle Scrub everyday for the past week and I am loving how my face looks and feels since using them both together. The Neutrogena Double Cleansing Method is the best way to get #unready every night because it gives your skin the most complete clean.

The wipes are fragrance free, and what I like most about them is that I can wipe off my eye makeup including the water proof mascara that we wear during the summer. The Scrub is oil free and won't clog your pores. Its gentle enough to use everyday.

Ladies Night With Dove Dry Spray

Ladies Night With Dove Dry Spray

Life as we all know has its ups and downs and therefore we have to be prepared for its biggest moments...and by this I mean with our deodorant and of course a good group of girl friends! My must have fashion accessory is definitely my Dove Dry Spray. I have been using it for a few months now and when I first discovered it, it completely changed my life. lol I say that honestly because I was searching for a antiperspirant due to other brands just not working for me and was fed up with feeling uncomfortably musty. It was just not a good feeling. Thats why I have switched over to 48 hours of visibly dry with odor and wetness protection. Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant is the latest beauty trend so don't be on the late show when Im giving you the secrets to success now. It also leaves no visible residue meaning you can wear what you want and you won't stain a thing. 

Last week I hosted a few girlfriends over for some champagne and food while we chatted fashion, hairstyles and the performances from the award show that was on. Before prepping for my day, which I knew would be a fun, long and an amazing time, I showered and sprayed my Dove DrySpray on, got dressed, got cute and we saw lots of shiny sequence dresses and big hair which is the latest trend just like Dove Dry Spray. 

We had a great time talking fashion and getting to know each other.



My good blogging friend Annie Vasquez of Miami's TheFashionPoet was one of 3 correspondents at the Premios Los Nuestro awards and they shared some good tips for getting ready for a big night out.
Getting ready for the big night out means looking and feeling your best, so make sure to get plenty of beauty sleep and drink lots of H20 the night before.


Daniela Ramirez of nanysklozet.com
Before every big event, I change at least three times to make sure my outfit matches my mood....which can lead to leaving white residue from your deodorant. To avoid so, use the Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant- it's my favorite! It will not leave any white residue while keeping you fresh all night (another plus, it also moisturizes your underarms!)

Kelly Saks of kellysklosetblog.com
Deodorant stains are the worst way to start a special evening, that’s why I love that Dove Dry Spray goes on clear and dries instantly. I don’t have to worry about embarrassing white marks on my party dress and can get straight to the fun.
My friend Carmen Contreras from Hot 95.7 sent me this text...
