So, I’m 30. Yep, it happened, and on December 5, 2017 I have entered my third decade of life. Scary things are supposed to happen now, right? Wrinkles, pressure to have babies, officially being more of an adult than I felt I was in my late-twenties? Luckily, Dermalaser here in Miami is helping me embrace entering my 30’s – at least when it comes to my skin. They focus on laser treatments, body treatments, skin care and injectables and I sat with the owner, Marisol, to consult about my skin needs before deciding what treatments were best for me. Marisol is one of the most knowledgable skincare experts I have ever spoken with. She gave me some incredible insight into what many spas do wrong and why it’s so important to understand what machines they are using and what exact processes they are using during your treatments. She advised that some medspas use non-FDA…

Art Basel Miami was a success, with plenty of champagne, art galleries, events, and Miami views. I must say, Art Basel season is quite overwhelming with the amount of events they hold (dramatic, I know). In my defense, there are so many galleries, parties, and events, and they all sound just as enticing and fun as the next. It’s also exhausting to attend functions each night, so I tried to choose strategically to balance my time and not attend every single night. My week started with the Perrier Jouët #EdenMiami preview party, a Simon Hammerstein with plenty of PJ champagne and photo ops. I also attended the Interview Magazine x Perrier party at Nautilus South Beach, which had the perfect beach-chic vibes! A white tent on the beach, chandeliers, and upholstered furniture with sophisticated tropical-prints were the perfect combination. To top it all off, I went with one of the grapefruit signature cocktails by Perrier – a refreshing,…

A few weeks ago, you may recall that I posted about how I was invited by Nordstrom’s Beauty Social Media Specialist to Nordstrom’s Beauty Trendshow in Coral Gables, Florida. Nordstrom puts on these amazing fashion/beauty trend shows all over the country throughout the year, to debut over 20 cosmetics brands and trends, where models walk the runway in amazing outfits and makeup, while brand creators, representatives, and national makeup artists excitedly tell all of the guests about their newest products and techniques. The entire event is high every, as all of the brand representatives and the amazing host, Nordstrom’s Beauty Director Karen DeLauro are so enthusiastic about all of the products.So…I rolled my cute butt out of bed at 5:00am (yes..5!) to ensure that I got there at 7:00am, which is when the pre-show Red Carpet VIP party started. (They hold the Trend Show before the store opens to the public.) Luckily,…

Tomorrow is a very exciting day! Carla, the Beauty Social Media Specialist for Nordstrom, got in touch with me earlier in the week to invite me to Nordstrom’s Beauty Trend Show tomorrow in Coral Gables (Miami). As part of the show, myself and a bunch of fellow beauty bloggers get to attend the pre-show Red Carpet VIP party where we get the opportunity to speak to some beauty brand experts such as Alex Chantecaille (Chantecaille Creator), George Smart (Osmotics National Educator), John Fussell (Chanel Global Ambassador, and Thomas Saujet (Hanae Mori fragrances). We also get an exclusive swag bag for attending, priority seating for the show, and booked for a makeup application at a counter of our choice. I chose to get my makeup done at the NARS counter, and I’m really excited!Carla also sent us some additional information Chantecaille. The story about the brand and their philosophy is really interesting: Chantecaille is…

As you may have read here, I was invited to attend a Lucky Magazine Dior Pretty Party here in South Florida last Friday. The event was hosted by Brittany of the blog Clumps of Mascara, and it was a hit!We met at the Dior counter in Bloomingdales, and we were escorted to a private, sectioned off area in the back of the makeup department.

I was lucky enough (no pun intended) to be invited to a Lucky Magazine Dior Pretty Party here in South Florida, by the lovely Brittany of Clumps of Mascara. I am so excited to be able to take advantage of a fun event like this, since many events I get invited to take place in NYC.The event will be a fun, glam girls night that will include cupcakes, Dior beauty experts and artists, mini-makeovers, and tips and advice from the Dior beauty team! It’s an exclusive, intimate event, but because some other guests can’t make it, I even get to bring 2 friends along. I am super excited to get to meet other South Florida beauty gals and can’t wait to mingle and play with all of the gorgeous Dior products! We will be live tweeting tomorrow night throughout the event (about 6-8pm), with the hashtag #LuckyDior, so be sure to follow me (@MakeupandManies) and…
