My experience at the Clinique Counter

Hi Queens,

I hope you are having a fabulous weekend! It's no secret that I love getting dolled up either for TV or just for fun! So I was very excited when Clinique invited me to get pampered at one of their beauty counters, especially because it's been a while since I had a consultation.

As soon as I got there I felt right at home, the girl doing my makeup and everybody at the counter was so sweet and nice. The first thing she asked me was what my concerns were. I immediately told her I had just turned 40 and I was afraid I was going to start getting lines on my forehead and lips. Yes, she was a little surprised I was 40 ...ha,ha,ha, you know I felt good and happy! And then the consultation started.

She started off by cleaning my face with the Clinique Sonic Cleansing Brush, even though I've used cleansing brushes before this one felt soft and  I loved how light it was. She explained to me that no matter what I do it is really important to make sure I clean my face thoroughly in the morning and at night. Then she got my skin ready with their 3-Step Skin Care System. I remember using the 3-Step Skin System when I was in Hight School and in college. Their yellow moisturizer, I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with, felt like a long lost friend that I had just reunited with! My skin seemed to loved it, because I was glowing!!!

Then the fun part started and we moved on to makeup! I told her since I wear a lot of makeup on TV I like doing a natural softer look for regular days.  She did just that using a peach, gold and bronze palette.  If you've been following my blog for a while, you know that I LOVE a nude lip and I'm always looking for the perfect one. My dream came true when she showed me this gorgeous Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer in Beige Pop, it is perfection and it has become my new favorite lipstick especially because their smoothing primer makes it last for eight hours.

I can't wait to share more of my experience with Clinique. Until then, check out their Pop Lip Colours + Primer here. They come in 16 shades and they are all just as beautiful.

5 Must-Have Summer Beauty Products

Clinique CC Cream

Hi Queens,

My favorite season is definitely summer, I love being outdoors and enjoying the sun! So, today I want to share my top 5 must-have summer beauty products. I seriously use them all the time! Ever since I discovered Clinique CC Cream I can't live without it. It's oil-free and it hydrates, protects and color-corrects my skin, what else can I ask for? Also, is not as heavy as foundation but it gives me great coverage, perfect for those hot days.

Hola mis Queens,

Mi estacion preferida definitivamente es el verano, me encanta hacer cosas al aire libre y disfrutar de sol. Por eso hoy quiero compartir con ustedes mis top 5 productos de belleza imprescindible para el verano. La verdad es que las uso todo el tiempo.

Ademas no es tan pesada como la base pero te da una muy buena cobertura, perfecta para esos dias calurosos.

St Tropez Gradual Tan Plus Firming

Thank you St Tropez for creating one the best self tanners that I've tried! Queens if you get a chance you have to try St Tropez Gradual Tan Plus Firming you will thank me later! I use it once a week and it does wonders.

Gracias a St Tropez por crear uno de los mejores autobronceadores que he probado. Mis Queen si pueden tienen que probar este producto, me lo agradecerán después. Yo lo uso una vez a la semana y me quedo super golden!

Body Shop Body Butter

For all of you that ask me what I put on my legs to make them look silky? My secret is body butter from the Body Shop. I've been using it for over 10 years and it leaves my skin soft and smooth, plus it gives me silky legs!

Spanish - Español

Para todas las que me preguntan que me pongo en las piernas para que se vean sedosas. Les cuento que mi secreto es la crema body butter de Body Shop. La he estado usando por mas de 10 años y me deja la piel suave y sedosa. No la cambio por nada.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunscreen

We all know how important sunscreen is and I don't leave my house without Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunscreen with SPF 70 I like that the product is lightweight and it absorbs instantly.

Spanish - Español

Ya sabemos que tenemos que cuidarnos la piel desde muy temprana edad y usar protector solar. Yo no salgo de mi casa sin usar el protector solar con FPS (factor de protección solar) de 70 Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunscreen de Neutrogena. Me gusta mucho por que es ligero y se absorbe inmediatamente.

Burt Bee's Nourishing Lip Balm with Mango Butter

If you knew me you know I probably have at least 10 Burt Bees lip balms laying around my house. I'm addicted to them because it hydrates my lips leaving them soft and smooth. My favorite!

Spanish - Español

Si me conocieran sabrían que por lo menos tengo 10 balsamos de labios de Burt Bees en mi casa. Estoy adicta a ellos por que me hidrata los labios dejandomelos bien suaves. ¡Mi preferido!

Clinique Yellow Party

This week I attended Clinique Yellow Party at the Loft and Garden in Rockefeller Center, as they relaunched its Dramatically Different Moisturizing Plus+ lotion. I'm not sure about you, but this was the first moisturizer I used through my high school and college years! Now it has been reformulated after 45 years and I can't not wait to try it! For the special occasion I wanted to try something different so "slicked back hair" it was. Do you like it?

Spanish - Español

Esta semana Clinique tiro la casa por la ventana para celebrar el lanzamiento de el nuevo sistema de 3-Pasos de Clinique para el Cuidado de la Piel, mejor conocida como Dramatically Different Moisturizing Plus+ lotion. Yo no se tu, pero yo la use en la secundaria y en la universidad, así que ya me muero por probarla. A propósito para este evento, me peine diferente, ¿les gusto?

Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tints for Eyes

I recently got on the mail the Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes and I immediately wanted to try them! They look fun but I wanted to see if they did the work.

What I like?

  • They are creamy, easy to apply and they don't crease - at least in the four  hours that I wore them.
  • I love hat I don't need a sharpener since the chubby stick comes with it's own twist up.
  • The colors are soft so you can wear them during the day but you can intensify the look at night by applying more.
  • Unlike other eye shadows there's no excess product that falls on your face.
  • I love the shimmer because it is subtle and it doesn't look like you are going to a Halloween party.
  •  I think they will be great for Spring and Summer.

What I don’t like?

  • The only thing I didn't love about them is that because they are a little thicker it is hard to apply to the inner eyelid

Where to buy them?

  • Sephora or Clinique $16

Recientemente me mandaron estas sombras de ojos de Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes e inmediatamente las quise probar ya que se veían súper  chic pero queria ver si eran tan buenas como parecían.

¿Por que me gustan?

  • Por que son cremosas, facil de aplicar y no se corren - al menos en las cuatro horas que las use.
  • Me encanta que no necesito un tajador para sacarle punta.
  • Los colores son suaves, ideales para usarlos a diario. O en la noche,  aplicando mas color.
  • Me gusta el brillo que tienen por que se ve natural.
  • A diferencia de otras sombras, no hay residuo que se caiga en tu cara.
  • Creo que van a ser ideales para esta primavera/verano.

¿Lo que no me gusta?

  • Como los tubitos son gruesos, es dificil aplicarte la sombra en la parte interior del parpado.

¿Donde comprarlos?

  • Sephora o Clinique $16

Vintage Dress

Remember a few months ago I went to the Pasadena Flea Market and I told you I had gotten a couple of dresses. Well, this is one of them. As soon as I saw this dress I fell for it. The color, the print and the style are just everything I wanted in a dress. The only problem was that it was way too small, but I bought it anyways and took it to my taylor. He fixed it and here is the final product! What do you think? Are you into maxi dresses?

Spanish – Español

Te acuerdas hace unos meses que te dije que fui al Pasadena Flea Market (como un mercado) y me compre dos vestidos.  Bueno este es uno de ellos. La verdad es que ni bien lo vi, me encanto el color, el estampado y el estilo - muy de los 70's.  El unico problema es que me quedaba muy chiquito, pero igual me lo compre ya que sabia que mi costurero me lo podia arreglar. Dicho y hecho, mi costurero le solto a los lados y aqui esta el producto final! Te gustan los vestidos largos?

So, a couple of months ago Clinique sent me this "Almost Bronzer SPF 15" in light/medium (picture below) to try out. It had been sitting in my make up bag for a while and the other day I decided to finally put it to test. Let me tell you that I loved the color because it looks very natural compare to other bronzers. Now, if you are looking for a dramatic tan, this is not the product for you. I have been wearing this bronzer every day since Sunday, and my mom, who doesn't like it when I put too much bronzer on, didn't even notice I had it on - I guess it's a good thing, ha!

Would you want me to do a Clinique giveaway? Let me know in this post!

Spanish – Español

Hace unos meses Clinique me mando este polvo bronceador "Almost Bronzer SPF 15" para que lo probara. Bueno, despues de tenerlo en mi caja de maquillaje unos meses, finalmente lo use este fin de semana. La verdad es que el color me gusto bastante porque cuando te lo aplicas, te ves bronceada pero sin exagerar.  Eso si, si quieres verte super bronceada, este no es el producto para ti.  Les cuento que he estado usando este polvo bronceador desde el domingo y mi mama, a quien no le gusta cuando me pongo mucho bronceador, ni cuenta se ha dado....buen signo no creen?

Les gustaria que hiciera una rifa con Clinique? Dime que piensan en este post!
