Spotlight on: M.A.C Temperature Rising

TempRising_PR_BeautyAlt_300

Summer is just around the corner and M.A.C Cosmetics is soon launching their new collection for the warmest season of the year.

It’s all about fabulous metallic summer tones mixed with beautiful bronzed skin. Not much about basking in the sun, but more about getting the party started when the sun is starting to set.

It will be available on May 23rd in the U.S. and in June in other countries, including Mexico.

The collection includes:

TempRising_PR_Beauty_300

El verano está a punto de llegar y M.A.C Cosméticos ya tiene preparada su nueva colección para la temporada más calurosa del año. Esta fabulosa colección se centra en tonos muy trópicales, todos metálicos, que se ven increibles en piel bronceada. Por lo general uno piensa “colección de cosméticos para verano, perfectos para broncearme en el sol con una margarita”, y no es este el caso. Ahora se enfocan más en la diversión que comienza justo antes de que se ponga el sol.

La colección estará disponible en las tiendas M.A.C en Estados Unidos a partir del 23 de mayo, y en el resto del mundo, incluyendo México, en junio de 2013.

Look of the day – Black and Blue

At first I was hesitant about colored jeans, especially when the trend first started a few years ago. But after I realized how versatile they are, I can’t get enough of them!

I recently bought a zapphire blue pair at Charlotte Russe and I’m in love with them. My favorite way to mix and match them is with black. So I chose a black tunic shirt I found at TJ Maxx (yes, I am a Maxxinista :D ) and a pair of black suede pumps. Add accessories and poof! Great look for the day that can be easily vamped up for night. Lots of compliments that day. :)

So what’s your take on colored jeans? Love to hear your opinions :)

Look of the day – Neon & Leopard

Spring weather is the best! A little heat, a little sun, and a little wind from time to time. So every morning I feel like dressing in something very lightweight and fresh, and since I’m juggling with organizing three events this week, comfortable is a must!

Neons look best when paired with neutrals, so I chose a pair of white jeans and a leopard scarf (a neutral colored accessory in my opinion) as a perfect match for a neon lime green slouchy tank. Metal accessories were the finishing touch, as well as a pair of peach flats with gold studs, bubble gum pink nails and lips. Best thing about my job is that I can dress as casual or as formal as I want. Today I felt like fashionable and casual worked best!

Happy First Birthday to getLoWorld! ♥

Image

Wow! It has been a year since I started this personal project!

Lots has changed since then, but I’m still learning and growing in this wonderful world of bloggers. It requires lots of effort, time and dedication, but having a space where you can freely express your mind is priceless. I’m still trying to juggle my daytime job, with my freelance blogging, my personal blog, the gym AND my personal life all at the same time, LOL. Oh! And soon I’m adding “columnist” to my resume, to top that off! (Sorry, had to brag about that ;) )

So, to all other bloggers out there in the world, I salute you!

Keep hitting the follow button for getLoWorld on WordPress, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and now on Instagram. And don’t forget to comment!

Love,

Honey by Marc Jacobs

o.19680

Marc Jacobs is most definitely in love with spring. His newest fragrance, Honey, which will be launched in July this year, is extremely cute and sunny, with flowers and fruit everywhere.

The bottle definitely resembles Dot, his 2012 fragrance, but it varies this time with bees instead of caterpillars, and yellow and black stripes instead of red and black dots. I can’t help but love it just by looking at how cute it is!

o.20491

But lets not forget what is most important, the scent. It is vibrant, warm and playful, with top notes of pear, fuit punch, and mandarin, followed by its heart notes of orange blossom, honeysuckle and peach nectar, and finally, honey, vanilla and wood. Honey by Marc Jacobs will be available starting July 2013 as Eau de Parfum in 30, 50 and 100 ml at all fine retail stores.

 

$91,500 for a Hermès T-shirt made entirely of Crocodile Skin

Hermes-crocodile-t-shirt-550x412

The fashion world is fulll of excentricities, and I shouldn’t be surprised, but still, this is like a slap in the face. Hermès, the luxurious French maletiere firm, just unveiled a piece of clothing perfect for the closet of the fashionistas and the über rich, but would make any  animal right advocates (and anyone with common sense) rage: a $91,500 t-shirt made from skin of Nile crocodiles.

The garment forms part of their Spring 2013 collection, properly named “Crocodile Chiffon”, but was just recently spotted at Hermès stores. Hermès boutiques do not allow photographs, but savvy bloggers from The Awl managed to take a snap of the price tag for anyone who might have any doubts of the veracity such mind-blowing price for a t-shirt. The explanation behind the price tag is that not only is the Nile crocodile a rare species, it’s also very lightweight and does not have that sticky feel leather has when temperature rises. It is now officially the world’s second most expensive t-shirt, far behind an organic cotton t-shirt bejeweled with diamonds that costs (hold your breath) $400,000. No joke.

Hermes-crocodile-t-shirt2-550x468

As one would expect, PETA had something to say about this: “The highest price for this rather cheap-looking and ludicrous Hermès T-shirt is paid by the crocodiles who were bludgeoned to death or even skinned alive to make it. PETA suggests showing creativity, not cruelty to animals, and offering killer looks that no one had to be killed for to create,” said Colleen O’Brien, spokeswoman for the animal rights organization.

I certainly do love fashion and the fashion industry, but this is just ridiculous. Not much different from an exquisite crocodile skin Birkin, but for some reason, this here has caused much more controversy than the exclusive handbag.

Spotlight on: Chanel’s Les Beiges

Chanel-Les-Beiges-promo-with-Gisele-Bundchen-summer-2013-1

Chanel has recently launched Les Beiges, a line of healthy glow sheer powder that comes in five shades of beige, offering maximum impact and coverage that allows natural beauty to shine. The shades meet the needs for all different kinds of skin, from Asian to Caucasian. It also protects skin against UVA rays with SPF 15.

The face of the campaign is none other than Brazilian beauty and former Victoria’s Secret Angel, Giselle Bündchen. She was chosen because, according to the brand, she is “modern, independent and positive, [Gisele] is also a nature lover who has a healthy lifestyle and enjoys the great outdoors.”  The campaign was shot famed fashion photographer Mario Testino back in 2012.

Bundchen, who gave birth to her daughter, Vivian Lake a few months ago, is no stranger to beauty campaigns. She has been the face of Max Factor, but this is her first time representing Chanel.

Newest purchase, newest obsession – Clinique Long Last Soft Shine Lipstick in Watermelon

Image
My brother gave me a Dillard’s gift card for Christmas, thinking I was going to spend it at their MAC counter (and that was initially my plan). So I go inside Dillard’s in Scottsdale Fashion Square and, surprise! No MAC. Well, I’ve never been a Clinique fan because, well, I never felt like trying it! So I decided to approach the sales lady and spend my well earned $20 dollar gift card.
She recommended the Long Last Soft Shine Lipstick in their best-selling shade, Watermelon, arguing it had enough pigment and coverage for my darker skin tone but it was sheer enough for the day. I loved it the moment I tried it! Great color, texture and it was soft and buttery! No wonder it’s their best-seller!
And I spent more than $25 at Dillard’s (I bought a new mascara, which I will be reviewing soon) so I got Clinique’s Bonus Gift which is actually really nice!
