Arlenis Sosa, Lancome & Latina Mag and New Genifique Giveaway

Yesterday I had a lot of fun. If you haven't yet seen my girl Arlenis Sosa on the cover of Latina Mag, please go run out and purchase it. She looks stunning, and the article was great. Yesterday Lancome and Latina Mag partnered together to have a great event to celebrate Arlenis being on the cover and yours truly was there. Arlenis and I spoke for a few minutes, and can we just say that DE loves her to little bitty pieces. Such a sweet, and humble Latina who is giving back in a major way with her foundation. (DE loves good people!)



Anyway, besides Arlenis, I was in a room with so many other amazing and talented peeps from mega talented singer Kat De Luna (Angelica, are you so excited for me? That's an inside joke-keep reading if you're not Angelica).

 


  and friend to the blog,  my favorite makeup artist Scott Barnes who is always a lot of fun.
 


In honor of Arlenis and Latina Mag, and the  industry finally taking note of the beauty of Latinas, I'm giving away a bottle of Lancome's treatment serum Genifique. Just send an e-mail to beautylogicblog@yahoo.com saying "De I need Lancome's Genifique in my life" winner gets announced Friday.



What do you think of the cover of Latina?

Do you love it?

Hugs,

Jlo's Make Guru Scott Barnes, Body Bling & About Face

About twelve years ago, I remember watching a movie with Wesley snipes, Woody Harrelson, and Jennifer Lopez. I had never seen JLO before, but I remember thinking “Finally someone that resembles me.” This Latina Goddess has taken over the world since then, and now she is truly a household name. The person that is responsible for making her look her best at all times is her longtime makeup artist Scott Barnes.

We chit chatted with Scott on our site before and yesterday I watched him work his makeup magic on a young woman and I could clearly see why he’s been Jlo’s makeup artist for over 10 years. The man is a genius. The woman ended up looking so beautiful, that I couldn't stop staring at her. We can all learn some of Scott's secrets with his new book About Face. It comes out January 10, but we can pre-order now on amazon.com here



Also I got the chance to try Scott's Body Bling Platinum edition. First of all this left my skin so super shimmery, and golden, I couldn't stop staring at myself for a few minutes. I felt like my skin had morphed into a layer of gold. The scent of this is very pleasant and very light, and it won't rub off on clothes. I absolutely loved it.

Here's my leg after use.



Hugs,

DE

PS, Scott now has a youtube channel where he's teaching us all his beauty secrets. Scott Barnes TV

Stay tuned next week for our interview with Vivica Fox about her beauty regime, and some great mineral foundation I just got a hold of and of course Hair. Maybe we'll do a new video too.

Chit Chat with Jlo's Makeup artist Scott Barnes

When I think about J-lo, I never ever think about her movies. Although I do love her as an actress, I tend to think of her more as a make-up icon. I don’t think anyone was rocking nude shining lips before J-lo did it, and who could forget her fabulous glow. I remember when I first saw J-lo in person. It was about seven years ago. I was a seatfiller at the mtv music awards. She walked by me, and I remember looking at her and thinking, wow, this woman is flawless. Everything about her was perfect. I’m sure a lot of her looks is genetic, but the man responsible for the makeup is her long time makeup artist Scott Barnes. Scott was kind enough to chit chat with beautylogic, and he’s coming out with a new book in January. I’m so excited about it! Thanks Scott for answering some questions
