Panama Makeup Pro 2015 Experience


Hi everyone! As I mentioned before, today I want to share with you what was the best birthday present that I received this year.  My husband and my daughter gave me the ticket so I could attend the second version of the "Panama Makeup Pro" class and fair. Last year, 2014, it was the very next day from my birthday but I was not able to attend and this year it took place on September 5th, at the Riu Plaza Panamá hotel.

What is Panama Makeup Pro? Is sort of a master class with several renowned makeup artists, each taking care of a group of about 15-20 people, answering questions, and providing makeup techniques so you can learn how to get an almost professional look. Not only that but there is a mini-fair with several companies selling their products and giving you offers.  The best thing, at the end there was a raffle for a large amount of prizes!

I really enjoyed my afternoon at the event. I was with the Kryolan group and learned that this brand, that is very overlooked is actually really good. I think that, since they started out as a stage makeup brand we tend to forget that most of this makeup, applied correctly, can be for everyday use. Not only that, but they also have makeup classes and a new location, with a bigger store and easier access than they did before. I want to try their foundation, I was amazed on how much coverage with a teeny tiny drop they, the makeup artists, were able to provide the model with. I am looking to buy 2 higher end foundations later on but I need to use up at least 2 or 3 of the ones I currently have.

All of the attendees were able to get a swag baggie, with products from Biotherm, Smashbox, Essence, Revlon, Almay, and several magazines as well as coupons for discounts from some of the sponsors.

I will share some of the pics I was able to get from that day:







And now, some of the things from the swag baggie and my raffle prize from Kryolan:

Also, before I forget, I received a $15.00 giftcard from Sol Sexy Salon, in Costa del Este. I went there to have my brows done and take advantage of it. The salon is really pretty, neat, everything so crisp clean and the attention, fully pleased.

So that will be all for now, thank you so much for stopping by and see you on my next post!

A Little Fashion Post

So I'm not fashion-y at all. I like what I like and sometimes that does not work/adjust to my body type which is like "hourglass-y but chubby" and I have to look for pieces that not only match or coordinate with one another but also that fit me well and does not make me look like a fool, like a 40 year trying to look half her age.  So, that being said, for a casual Friday, I chose a pair of kind of lose fit jeans from Estampa (got them for $12), an olive green tank top, olive green jacket from Berksha (bought it like 3 years ago) so they "match" and create a military-ish vibe, a regular black belt, and a pair of gold-nude loafers, so comfortable that I just can't put them down. Now some more detail pics so you can take a closer look and enjoy.  See ya next time!

Review: Boscia Skin Care

Hola a todos y bienvenidos nuevamente. Primero quisiera disculparme por haber bajado la cantidad de posts. Tuve un leve caso de "writter's block" pero después de una buena conversa y unos consejos, estoy lista para continuar. Para esta ocasión les tengo una reseña o review de un par de productos de cuidado de la piel de la marca boscia.   Boscia significa, literalmente "Botanical Science" y es una línea de cuidado de la piel desarrollada en Japón hace 32 años y es la primera línea de cuidado de la piel 100% libre de preservativos.  Entre los agentes que no se encontrarán en los productos de la marca están: ethanol, bactericidas, fragancias sintéticas, colorantes sintéticos, aceite mineral o ingredientes animales. De boscia , ya hace unos meses y para completar el monto para el free shipping de una compra de Sephora, había un set con unos deluxe sample sizes de 3 productos: el Detoxifying Black Cleanser, el Oil-free Nightly Hydration y el Enliv

Review: Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation

Hola a todos y bienvenidos.  Para el día de hoy les tengo una reseña o review de una base de maquillaje de la marca Revlon.  Se trata de la base Revlon Colorstay Whipped, la cual es una base en crema, bastante gruesa, que no se corre.  En Panamá se empezó a vender más o menos desde octubre-noviembre del 2013 y tenemos aproximadamente unas 5 tonalidades, a diferencia de otros mercados que tiene hasta 16 tonos y tiene un precio de más o menos $16.95 más impuestos. Según la página de  Revlon , Colorstay Whipped es un maquillaje de larga duración que ofrece un máximo rendimiento, tiene textura suave y su cobertura ayuda a unificar el tono del rostro y también ofrece una sensación ligera durante todo el día que no se corre ni se desvanece. Yo compré la mía en el mes de noviembre y la uso casi todos los días.  Puedo certificar que es una base de cobertura completa, da una apariencia mate y a pesar de que el clima en Panamá es caliente y húmedo, la duración del maquillaje
