Neutrogena Pore Refining Line

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with NEUTROGENA® and Latina Bloggers Connect. All opinions

expressed are my own.

Hi Ladies & Gents,

I’m so happy to be a part of the No Mas Poros Neutrogena challenge because as you guys know from my past post I love Neutrogena products. I have very sensitive skin and find that Neutrogena products help my skin look youthful.

If you follow me on Instagram you saw that I posted these products that I have been using for a week now and I have to say that I am very impressed. My cousin had mention she uses these products and swears by them, so I was excited to see if I would see a difference in my skin and I definitely do. This line is designed to minimize the appearance of pores and give you a youthful look. Being a working mom I'm all for this. During the week I honestly use minimal makeup because I see what it can do to your skin and I know how important a daily skin regimen is for your overall appearance. I won’t reveal my age but I can say that no one ever guesses correctly because I make it a point to take care of my skin. So what are you ladies waiting for go to your local drugstore and pick up this great inexpensive line. See below my before and after picture and my step by step daily regimen to great and youthful skin.

Step 1: Use NEUTROGENA® Pore Refining Daily Cleanser to wash off all makeup and dirt away. Within in one day of use I could feel and tell a difference in my face. Definitely will be using this daily.

Step 2: Use NEUTROGENA® Pore Refining Exfoliating Cleanser to get rid of all your dead skin. The microbeads sweep away dead skin and smoothes uneven patches. The great part is it's gentle enough for you to use daily.

Step 3: Use the NEUTROGENA® Pore Refining Toner for a deeper cleanse. I used a cotton ball with this toner and applied to my skin. even after using the first two products it amazing to see that this toner will grab that left over residue, so make sure you never skip this step.

Step 4: NEUTROGENA® Pore Refining Moisturizer (in stores this August). I am absolutely in love with this moisturizer. It’s great because it helps reduce pores but makes my skin silky smooth. I suffer from very dry skin so I definitely will be using this product.

I hope you guys like this review and stay tuned for more of my favorite beauty products.

Peace & Love

A Friends Fairytale Wedding

Hi Dolls,

So this mommy had a night out with the hubby and I can tell you I had a great night. My friend Nicole's wedding was this past Saturday and I knew I had to find a great dress since I rarely get glammed up. I saw this dress a while ago on Hot Miami Styles and knew it was perfect for a summer wedding. The peach/coral color works great with my skin complexion, especially with a tan. When picking out a dress ladies its important to know what colors work for your skin tone, otherwise picking the wrong color can wash you out. I was super excited when it arrived and I tried it on because it fit me like a glove. I loved that the dress had a mermaid tail, making it look elegant. Overall I got so many compliments on my dress and was happy with my whole look.

Now lets talk about the wedding!

I have to say every detail of my friends wedding was gorgeous. From her beautiful blush princess dress to her party dress and the decor, I think she hit the mark with the whole event. Check out some pictures below of my look and details of my friends wedding.

I promise I will be posting more looks soon, just bare with me as I adjust to mommy hood.

The Land Of The Free

I can't believe that July 4th is over, I took a long weekend to spend time with my family and friends and wish I had more days off,lol. Here in New Jersey it was actually raining on fourth of July, but I already had planned my outfits with my daughter, so you know I was going to dress her up anyway.

I created four different styles for her, that you can go to her blog and see for more details. As for my outfits, I obviously wanted something patriotic but still mommy chic. It was very humid both nights so I went for shorts all weekend.
During the fireworks I used the American flag sweater I purchased at JOYCELESLIE last year, because it did get chilly at night. I was so happy the weather cleared up at night so we were able to see the fireworks with my daughter, who by the way was such a trooper and didn't cry once. I was a little nervous she would cry from the loud noise but she saw some of it and nodded off midway through. We also were able to spend time with my bestfriend/Annabelles' godmother, at her pool. I'm so happy to say she is fish like her mommy, she absolutely loved the water, it was such a fun day.
We ended the weekend with a nice stroll and early dinner at COSIMOS my favorite restaurant in Westfield NJ. While we were walking to the restaurant my mom spotted this place that had patriotic colors, so you all know that I had to stop for a little mini shoot and I am so happy I took these pictures, so in love with them.
Overall it was a great weekend with the family!! Do any of you like fourth of July like I do, it reminds me so much of my childhood and watching the fireworks with my mom and brothers...now I get to make memories with my daughter and husband.
Anyway check out below some pictures of my outfits and make sure to check out Annabelle's blog for details on all four of her fourth of July outfits.
