Makeup for Holiday Travel

By BeChicMag.com

The holiday season is officially here, and we have some fun skincare tips for you. Spending long hours traveling — or in the kitchen playing hostess– can leave your skin looking dull and tired.

Before you pack your bags or put your apron on, here are some essential items that will keep you looking neat and chic:

- Simple Skincare Replenishing Rich Moisturizer will leave your skin hydrated all day. It’s an ideal option for a refreshed look. You can apply it and leave it as is, or put it on before your makeup.

- Eyeliner is always a fun touch– again– with or without applying more makeup.

- Mineral Powder foundation is a choice I always go for when I want a barely there look.

- Lip balm is super essential. Your lip seasily can go try no matter what temperature you’re in. Leave your lip balmnear by at all times.

- An eye balm such as the Simple Skincare Soothing Eye Balm soothes and relaxes tired eyes. It contains several vitamins and ingredients including Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil which helps nurture and replenish.

Featured in Santo Domingo Times -- Dominican Blogger

We're featured in Santo Domingo Times

I can’t tell you how excited I am to be featured in the latest issue of Santo Domingo Times, a Spanish-language magazine published in the Dominican Republic. When I met with their editor this past summer, I was excited about the possibility of a feature on their Web site, but a two-page spread? I’m truly honored!

My Q&A and a side bar with my style tips can be found on page 46 of their latest issue where you’ll see actress Dania Ramirez on the cover.

This comes days after the death of my maternal grandmother who lived a long and happy life. I dedicate this to all of my readers– and to my Dominican family here and on the island.
