Cover Girl and People en Español Photo Shoot

I still can't believe I will be a Cover Girl! It's more than I have ever imagined :-) I can't wait for People en Español to come out May 4th so I can see the final result. In the meantime check out this behind the scenes video. I hope you like it!!!

Todavia no puedo creer que voy a ser una chica Cover Girl, alguien peñisqueme por favor :-) Ya me muero para que People en Español salga a la venta este 4 de Mayo y ver el resultado final. Mientras tanto aquí les dejo un video, tras bambalinas de la sesion de fotos con Cover Girl. Espero les guste.

Cover Girl and People en Español Photo Shoot

I don't even know where to start .... If you follow me on Facebook and Twitter you know that this past Friday I had a big photo shoot with Cover Girl and People en Español! I was beyond excited to be chosen as one of two Hispanic beauty and fashion influencers - the other one was Mercedes - to be part of  Cover Girl's Blast Flipstick lipcolor photo shoot. Our photographer was the amazing Derek Blanks, who has work with Beyonce and Usher to name a few. I still can't believe I got to do this. I'm so blessed and grateful for this opportunity, without you this would not be possible. The pictures will come out on People en Español June's issue.

Easy, Breezy, beautiful Cover Girl :-)

No se por donde empezar, pero si me siguen por Facebook y Twitter saben que el viernes pasado tuve una sesion de fotos con Cover Girl y People en Español. La verdad es que estoy super contenta por que me escogieron para ser parte de esta sesión de fotos, que muestra el lápiz labial Blast Flipstick de Cover Girl. Tuve la dicha de trabajar con el fotógrafo de las estrellas, Derek Blanks, el ha trabajado con artistas como Beyonce y Usher entre otros. Todavía no lo puedo creer. Estoy tan agradecida con Dios por todos estas oportunidades y con ustedes por seguirme día a día. Las fotos saldrán en la edición de Junio de la revista People en Español :-)

Getting my hair and nails done - Arreglandome el cabello y las uñas

Getting my makeup done with Saisha. I've had my makeup done hundreds of times before, but I can honestly tell you she was the best by far! She taught me a few tricks. Thank you Saisha.

Saisha maquillandome, la verdad es que me encanto como me maquillo. Muchas personas me han maquillado anteriormente, pero me saco el sombrero por ella, se paso!

I loved that they got me a peruvian jersey for my first look - Me encanto usar la camiseta de Peru para mi primer look

One of my favorite things was shooting in front of the goal. I always envision this since I'm a sports girl!

Me encanto que tomaramos las fotos al frente del arco, ya que soy amante de los deportes!

Talking to Derek before he starts shooting. To be honest with you I was nervous because I didn't want to mess it up.

After the first shoot I had to get my hair and makeup done again since we were going for a completely different look for the next shoot - FASHIONISTA! This was my favorite look because I wore my hair loose like I always do. But my hair stylist added some light brown extensions - LOVE it! LOVE Cover Girl's flipstick

Despues de mi primera sesion de fotos tuvieron que maquillarme y arreglarme el cabello de nuevo. Lo que pasa es que mi segundo look era de una fashionista, por lo que lleve el cabello suelto. Bueno, el estilista me añadio extensiones de color caramelo para cambiar un poquito mi look. Enamorada del lapiz labial Flipstick de Cover Girl

I am so glad I got to work with such a talented team. Thanks to stylist Rodney Hall for being so sweet and picking great pieces. Thanks to Clark Vicente for doing my hair, I LOVED it. Thanks to Saisha Beecham for doing my makeup - the BEST makeup I've ever had done - and making me feel FABULOUS. And to Derek Blanks for being such a FABULOUS photographer and making me feel comfortable. You all ROCK!

My last shot of the day - FASHIONISTA! - Mi ultimo look - una FASHIONISTA With Mercedes at the end of the shoot - Con Mercedes al final de la sesion de fotos 

Thanks to everybody for making this a day to remember
