DE's LOVING ZOYA'S FALL LIMITED EDITION MATTE VELVET

As you guys know DE is a nailpolish junkie. I love love nailpolish. Rarely do I ever match my toes with my fingers. There are way too many nailpolish shades for all that. Anyway, I recently discovered the Zoya nailpolish line, and I’m hooked for a few reasons. First of all this nailpolish is Formaldehyde, Toluene, Dibutyl Phthlate and Camphor free. The colors last forever –seriously, I had a shade on for more than four days before I needed to reapply on my fingers (that never happens) and the drying time is very fast-especially for their new Limited Edition Matte Velvet Collection. These colors are just so beautiful and rich, and look fab on my nails. Although these are meant for the fall, I’m already wearing the Posh Matte Shimmer on my nails. This gorgeous red is stunning. I love red polish. There’s no shine to them, just a rich, intense matte red. I love it.



The other two shades are incredibly vampy and sexy. The Loredanda is a grey infused with some glitter. I’m loving it too, and will definitely be wearing it with a hot red dress that I have.



The last color is Dovima a seductive shade of black. Black polish has never been a part of DE’s regimen until now. I’m thinking of changing it up this year, with some hot red lipstick, and black polish (I could drive Mr. DE crazy with all this sexiness!)lol.

Here’s the shade.



What’s your favorite shade in this collection?

Better Hurry up and purchse. This is a limited Edition. For more info-visit www.zoya.com

Q-Tip Vanity Packs

I’m a huge fan of anything that looks pretty. Recently Q-tips launched their product in gorgeous colored Vanity Packs. How cute is that? Everyone knows that Q-tips are an essential beauty product. I use them for everything, from cleaning my ears to, applying my under eye cream, to fixing my eyeliner when it smudges, there are no limits to Q-tips. The new vanity packs are adorable, hold 285 Q-tips and look adorable on my dresser. Friend to beautyLogicblog Mally Roncal, loves Q-tips too. On www.qtips.com she's giving us great make-up tips.

Have you seen the new revamped Q-tip Vanity Packs?

Don’t you like them too?

CARESS EVENLY GORGEOUS EXFOLIATING BODY WASH

Caress Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating Body Wash

I used to spend so much money on shower gels. But then I started thinking. “Why spend so much money on something that washes off, no matter how good it smells.” So I started to buy my showergels in drugstores instead of Sephora and once I found Caress’ Tahitian Vanilla, I fell in love. The smell was delish, and it lingered on my skin for hours. Needless to say Caress became my newest addiction. I recently got the chance to try Caress’s newest showergel, Evenly gorgeous, and my my my, this is seriously great. First of all, like most Caress gels, it has this delicious aroma, sort of like a vanilla , caramel, just yummy! It’s loaded with burnt brown sugar & Karite butter which leave DE’s skin not only exfoliated but moisturized and fabulous as well. No wonder Kim Kardashian loves it.

Have you tried Caress’ body gels?

Have you tried the Evenly gorgeous one?

DE's loving Ecru New York Silk Nectar Serum

Saturday was absolutely beautiful in New york. For the first time in my life, I went sailing. It was amazing. The beautiful water, the wind, everything was just so perfect. I felt so calm and at peace. If you’ve never gone sailing, I highly recommend it. I loved loved loved it and can’t wait to do it again. How was your weekend loves? Anything new and exciting. Did you learn anything? Have you ever gone sailing. Anyway, back to beauty.



You guys know how much I love my hair. She’s my buddy, my friend, my confidante (just kidding, I’m not that nuts) but I do love her. I’m a little nervous about trying new products on her because who knows how she’ll react. However, when I saw one of my cousin’s girlfriends with her red hair looking all shiny and gorgeous, I asked her what she was using. When she told me that she’d gotten her hair done 4 days earlier, and still had that shine because she was using Ecru Silk Nectar Serum, I was hooked. So I got some too last week, and I’m loving this as well. I used this right before I put the my hair in pincurls. You know DE likes to make sure her hair has bounce. Anyway, last week, I got my hair done on Sunday, and didn’t redo it till the Saturday. I was using the silk nectar (dime size amount) in between hair appointments, and even the day before I got my hair redone, it was still shining . I really like this product. It has silk protein from 100% Japanese silk, it’s not greasy at all, and best of all, my hair is gleaming . Now you know when I like something, I want you to love it too.

So send an e-mail to beautylogicblog@yahoo.com with the caption being “DE, you can’t just have fab hair, give me some Ecru too.”

Winner gets announced tomorrow.

Hugs,

DE

De's New Love Lancome's Juicy Tube in Rose Nectar

As you guys know, DE is a huge fan of Lancome, for many reasons. Not only is my fellow Dominicana Arlenis Sosa one of the faces of their brand (pictured above, isn't she stunning) but honestly their products are truly some of the best out there. Nothing gets my lashes longer and thicker than their Definicils. I’m sure many of my readers would agree. Their Juicy tubes are amongst my favorite in glosses. I think they have every shade imaginable, and their newest Rose Nectar is gorgeous!




In the tube it looks incredibly pink, but once applied to the lips, it’s a beautiful nude with a tremendous amount of shine, and gorgeous little sparkles. It’s so pretty on my lips but the best thing about this, is that it stays on. I hate when I have to constantly reapply glosses. This is definitely a BeautyLogic Approved item.

Have you tried Lancome’s Juicy tubes?

What are you weekend plans guys?

Supposed to be beautiful in NY, so I am headed to the beach -with plenty of SPF in my bag of course.

Solange-is that you?

I recently saw a pic of Solange Knowles and was shocked. I'm loving how so many women are taking risk with their hair lately! What do you think of Solanges new look? All these women doing drastic things to their hair are inspiring DE to shave her hair off too (just joking.) I'm like Samson (guy from bible) I feel like I loose my power without my hair. lol,

What are your thoughts?

Are you doing anything drastic to your hair?

I'm still contemplating my dye job.

LOVING MY NEW BLUSH-LORAC BAKED MATTE SATIN BLUSH

Blush can do some amazing things to your face. I’ve seen women who don’t have a stitch of makeup on, who look pale, and almost dead without it, but once they swoop blush on their cheeks, all of a sudden, they become a brand new hot mama! I’m a tan skin Dominicana, and my skin color constantly changes (yes it’s true). If I’m in the sun for more than 20 minutes, I’m a totally different complexion, so I need to find a blush that’s flattering for all my different shades,lol. (I tan very quickly even with SPF). Anyway, two weeks ago, I was in Sephora, (there is one right across the street from my job, so dangerous,LOL) and this beautiful Middle Eastern girl walked by me. Her skin color was way lighter than mine, but her blush looked so pretty. So you know DE had to ask where she got it from. She pointed to Lorac’s Baked Matte’s Satin Finish in Exposed. I was a little nervous to try it. I mean the girl was about 10 shades lighter than me, but the color was such a gorgeous peach. I reasoned with myself that if it didn’t work, I’d just dab some of Sephora’s makeup remover over it. Well after swooping the blush on my cheeks, I was awestruck. On her white skin, it was gorgeous, peachy, stunning, but on my bronzed skin, it was glowing, with a hint of shimmer, and just breathtaking. It was amazing! I felt like the gates of heaven had open. I couldn’t stop staring at myself in the mirror. I kept giggling. Everyone in Sephora clapped for me and I took a bow. (I’m just kidding about that one.) But I did pick it up and have been keeping it in my makeup bag for the last few weeks. I think you’ll love it. If you’re my skin tone, or even as white as a ghost, this blush is PERFECT.

Do you use any other universally flattering products?

Have you tried Lorac’s Baked Matte Satin Finish in Exposed or in any other color?

What blushes are you loving?

Things that Make DE go HMMMM?

So apparently a new beauty trend is shaving off your eyebrows or bleaching them completely. When I think of that, I cringe! Do you know how long it took me to find a perfect eyebrow girl, who got my arch exactly the way I wanted it. Years!!!!!!! I would go to countless eyebrow spots around the city, and they would either thread them too thin, or screw my arch up, and then I’d have to spend months re-growing them. I hate when I have to regrow my brows because I end up looking all sloppy like I don’t care about them-the hair growth under the brow just doesn’t look cute. Anyway, after years of searching far and wide for an eyebrow expert I finally found this adorable Indian girl who’s no more than 14 and threads my brows exactly the way I like them. She’s all the way in Queens, but I”ll troop as far as Connecticut to see that little angel. And now they’re telling me that eyebrows aren’t cool. Lol, that’s one trend, I’ll never follow. Tell me, will you be shaving or bleaching your eyebrows? Are trends even that serious to you? They’re really not for me, I’ve been wearing skinny jeans for over 10 years, even when they weren’t cool. It’s what I like! Not what’s in style! What are your thoughts about no eyebrows?

Give Yourself a Makeover and Help DE!

DE Needs Your Help:

Hey honey bunns! How was your weekend? DE has been incredibly busy but I miss ya. Anyway, lately the color of my hair is getting on my nerves. I’m kind of bored with the black, and for the summer, I’m dying to change it up! I stumbled on this website called www.taaz.com that gives you any sort of makeover you’d like, from makeup to hair cut, hair style or color change (which is what I did.) So of course I had to try them! Also my hair is fuller in my makeover pics, because I recently cut my real hair in layers and it's much fuller than in my original picture. Anyway, which color do you think suits me best? Should I stay with my dark hair? Help DE Please!

Here's my original look!



And here’s my hair makeover with lighter tresses. What are your thoughts?

Should DE go lighter or should I stay dark?
Here’s me with a browner shade.


Here’s me with red tresses:



Here I am as a blonde:



Here I am with Honey brown



What are your thoughts?

Thanks for your help.

Oh and check out www.taaz.com I'm loving my makeover and it's super easy.

DE's SEcret to Looking Awake!

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to yu loves. I’ve been so busy, and overwhelmed. This summer is bringing a lot of surprises. Anyway, how was your weekend? Mine was pretty good. I was trying to figure out a way I could travel the world for free. If you guys have any ideas, please e-mail me.

I’m thrilled because, NY is finally feeling like summer. Although it rained Saturday night, it was absolutely beautiful during the day. I walked 36 blocks to my house. It was great. Saturday night, I went out with the girls, and didn’t get home till almost 5 am. (You know DE loves to party with her girls.) But the problem was I had to baptize my friend's kid early in the day. When I got home, I just crashed on my bed, (without washing my makeup off, yuk I know.)When my alarm went off at at 8am, my hair was a mess (that’s easy to fix as you know DE is a hair expert) my makeup was all over my face and pillow, and I looked insanely tired, which I was. I had to be in New Jersey by 10:00am ready to baptize the little munchkin, so I needed to do a quick fix. After beautifying my hair, and doing my makeup, I realized I still looked kind of tired. So I whipped out my secret weapon for bright eyes!

Smashbox's Double Eye Brightener



This pencils works wonders. It has two sides to it, one a gorgeous cream color, and the other is cream with a little bit of gold to it. You can literally use it all over your face to highlite your browbone, bridge of nose and cupids bow. I used it on the corner of my eyes, and Wooh! It opened them right up!

After that I used Smashbox’s Photo-op Under eye Brightener.



This is the other part to my secret weapon. I use this when I’ve been partying too much and my concealer alone doesn’t work. It really brightens up the under eye area, and after using both of these products, I look like I had ATLEAST 8 hours of asleep. The pics looked amazing.

What's your secret to looking awake?

Have you tried these smashbox products?

Do you know the secret for traveling the world for free?

Happy Birthday to DE Happy Birthday to DE!

Hey guys, today's my bday so I"m taking a day off and just spending the day with fam, and surrounding myself with love.

Big Hugs & lots of love,

Thanks for reading. It means so much to DE.

Nightly Beauty Routine?

I thought it would be interesting for us to share our nightly beauty routines so I’m going to start mine off. I’d love to know yours too. Will you share? Heres mine for the moment (it changes all the time).

I usually get home from work at around 9:30pm. Yes that late. I make myself a cup of Village Tea’s
Green Tea You know this is loaded with antioxidants!

Sometimes I even pour myself a glass of wine (depends on how I’m feeling), sit in front of the tv for around 20 minutes and watch what’s on. After that I get up, shower, and then get ready for my night. I wash my face with my clarisonic,


and current face wash. (I have way too many.) After that, I give myself a facial massage for around 5 minutes (De does not want wrinkles!). Then I apply my Jan Marini Vitamin C Skin Serum, all over my face and neck and decolette, and then put some Rosbud salve on my lips. Now if I am going to wash my hair the next day, I take a dab of coconut oil, and give myself a 5 minute hair massage, if not, I just massage my scalp with my bare fingers. After that I tie my hair up, very close to my forehead (that’s how you can keep hair full of body and bounce) and then I grab korres Quince lotion , and lotion my feet, (it’s summer got to make sure your feet are soft) then I put on some socks to keep the moisture. I then go to bed and fluff my pillows (both of them have silk pillowcases to keep the shine to my hair.) I then turn my tv on, and go to sleep. (I must must sleep with the tv on. I can’t sleep with it off. I can be in a deep sleep but if someone turns the tv off, I will wake up immediately like a ninja ready to fight.)

What’s your night time beauty routine?

Do you sleep with the tv on? Lol

Hugs,

DE

Korres Masque for Skin!

How was your July 4th weekend? Mine was pretty cool. Life has been absolutely insane, but in a great way. I’m so happy that New York is finally acting like we’re in summer. I was getting so sick and tired of the rain. GRRR! Anyway, back to beauty. During the summer months, my skin decides that it wants to act up. All of a sudden, my face becomes a greasy mess, and it’s during this time, that I get huge cystic zits. However, I’m noticing that my skin isn’t behaving as badly. A product that I’ve added to my skin care regime is Korres Masque Deep Cleansing for Oily Skin with Imperfections.



I’d heard about Korres products but had never tried them before. I knew they were from Greece, and upon further research, I found out they were a natural skin care brand. Usually deep cleansing Masque leave my skin incredibly tight, and dry after use, but not this one. When I apply this, I leave it on for around 20 minutes. It has a bit of a cooling effect, and after I remove it, my skin is left very smooth, and soft not tight at all. My pores look much smaller, and best of all, I haven’t broken out yet this summer. This masque is loaded with nourishing ingredients like Cinnanom and Zinc which is supposed to regulate the amount of sebum in your skin. I love it!

Thisi is def a beauty logic approved item.


Have you tried the korres masque?

Have you tried Korres products at all.

What did you do for July 4th?

I cut six inches of off my hair this week. lol and I love it (it's still up to my bra strap but in massive layers). if you were one of the people who e-mailed me about the hair tonic, you'll get the ingredients tomorrow.

RIP MJ

Sorry I”ve been so delayed in posting. It’s been an overwhelming week.
Michael Jackson is dead. God that makes me so sad. He was truly the soundtrack to my youth. It hit me hard yesterday when I went to the Apollo. The man was a legend, and it’s so amazing to me that so many people have been affected by his death. He touched everybody. I remember years ago my Dominican father who could barely speak English at the time singing Thriller. When I was a kid, I would wash my hair, and spend hours with moose trying to get it to curl like his. I owned a red pleather jacket and the skinny black pants, and those black/white shoes. I really thought I was him. God, his death was so unexpected.

What’s your favorite Michael Jackson song? Mine would have to be PYT!
What's your favorite Michael Jackson Memory?
Mine would be watching Thriller with my family and running from fear when that scary voice came on in the end.

We’ll miss you Micheal.

Hugs,

DE
