RADIANT & YOUNG

What's new on the beauty market?

The revolution of Retinol has finally arrived and in this post I'm going to show you how it works and its advantages. 

The industry of Beauty products is constantly changing and renovating their brands. Avon is a vivid example of this, by creating two amazing products from their line Anew Clinical.

Retinol can improve the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles. It also helps reduce the appearance of pore sizes. Retinol is an essential part of a skin care regimen to help collagen-depleted skin.

These Line Erasers with Retinol, are the #1 product to treat fastidious wrinkles. Bellow, you're going to find some "selfies" so you can see how to apply both products. 

STEP #1:

At night, after your cleaning routine, apply the larger product all over your face. Try to incorporate these steps every night for best results.

STEP #2: 

The smaller one is for deeper wrinkles. You are going to place a small amount on the areas where I'm pointing in the images; it is a specialize treatment.

When your done, I'm sure you're going to look amazingly radiant and ageless.

Enjoy!

S I X T I ES

Hello friends,

As we get closer to Summer, we are going to see a lot of the late sixties and seventies trends around the super stores, runway shows and of course, celebrities and trendsetters. 

This trend is the stamp of Summer 2016, and for that reason I made an outfit inspired on these gorgeous and extravagant years (60's & 70's). 

The point is to NOT look like you are wearing a costume, but to get some details out and incorporate it to your outfit. One of the biggest statements of those years was the necks; women used a lot of turtle necks, the "preppy look" neckline, the handkerchief (scarf) and a lot of mixed prints. 

Therefore, I wore a white dress with a high neck and a "V" cleavage top from Hip Hop Store, which surely describes the exotic icon, Sophia Loren. To add some life, I used a crossed sided mini Furla bag with orange & yellow colors from Joias and fringes sandals in blue and green colors from Galería.

And voilá... this is how you transport a look from the past to the latest trend. FOLLOW me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter & Snapchat for more looks #Outoftheoven.

Enjoy!

xoxo,

KM

STRIPE IT ALL

Hey guys,

Yes, it's Monday... and yes, I know what most of you are thinking: why did the weekend go by so fast?!; then again, think of it as the beginning of a new week filled with positive energy, new opportunities and more blessings to come. 

To start with the right foot, here's today's #ootd.

The "gladiator" patterns has followed us for two seasons now, so I wanted to blend this funky trend with spring essentials, this time showing off shorts with flowers.

This outfit, from Hip Hop Store, can be worn with a pair of nice sandals (you can also try the gladiator style on your feet) or basic wedges if you want to dress it up. 

Is a very casual outfit, perfect for the day and also for that "weekend" look.

RAINY STARE

Hi loves,

"Anyone who thinks that sunshine is pure happiness, has never danced in the rain".

Isn't that amazing?

Talking about rain, the only thing I can think of is fresh clothing moving through the wind, coffee in my hands and of course, wearing an effortless outfit; such as the "blue sky" blouse I'm wearing from Hip Hop Store.

To compliment that coziness, I paired up the beautiful boho-blouse with long  burgundy leggings with gold details. To keep the look natural and relax, I combined my clothing with a pair of super comfy nude heels from TJ Maxx, which also has sparkly stones on the front. 

Remember that there can always be an amazing look for less...

So, for days like this one, remember not to force yourself to use a bulky or heavy outfit. Don't push it... because sometimes "less is more".

If it's freezing out there, you have an excuse to use one your favorite coats, I recommend a beige one, so it matches with the smoothness and essence of the look.

Hope you guys enjoy today's #ootd as much as I did.

FLOWER MOVEMENTS

Hey loves,

It feels so good when you want to express yourself in portraits. 

Life is all about movements, ups, downs and changes... never to be afraid to show the world who you really are and what's your place in life. So dance a little and smile at life.

This street style I'm presenting today has a spice of spring with our beloved color, Mr. Black!

I'm wearing a bodysuit from Hip Hop Store in combination with a floral pant. Although we're wrapping up Fall season, I decided to create this look to show a mix between one of the colors we ALL have in our closets and mixing it up with  spring essential... flowers.

To accessorize the look, I just add a double-use necklace (short or long) and a personalized cuff from the jewelry designer Daniel Espinosa (it has a K and an M as in Karla Mercado; which I totally loved). 

Of course, we cannot leave out the shoes and playful asset, the hair!

I wore a pair of sexy black pumps and left my hair natural for it to move along with the wind.

I have to say, I had a lot of fun in this outfit shooting with Grego, the photographer. Like I've said before, remember to follow me on Snapchat as @thetrendoven, so you can watch all the behind the scenes, events and lots of lots of fun I have on my daily lifestyle.

Hope you guys enjoy the pictures and this sexy easy-to-match look. 

'Till next time!

xoxo,

K M
