One of the things I hate more other than having permanent dark under eye circles is waking up to an unwelcome blemish on my face. That’s why I’m so thankful for concealers. Concealers save my life every time I have to struggle with hiding a problem area. Concealer is the number one beauty staple, which allows you to do so much with their endless hacks. They can be used to hide zits and dark circles, as well as highlight cheekbones or to contour your face.
Maybelline offers many economic concealer options, but the Age Rewind Neutralizer Concealer, Dream Lumi Radiant, Yellow Cover Stick, Green Cover Stick and Fit ME Concealer (Shade Café) are my top picks. If you want to know all my hacks and how I use each of these concealers check out the graphic I’ve created with the details.
Seriously, I can’t believe it’s been 4 years. Lovely Chicas went from a fun hobby with a few posts every once in a while to a real growing blog, brand and business! This year I was even nominated for a Fashion Creator Award courtesy of the Tecla Awards! Honestly this journey has been amazing. All of this has been possible thanks to all of my amazing followers, friends and family. Thank you all for the support!
This blog has grown and so have I. The shy girl who created Lovely Chicas is now a confident and fearless woman. Lovely Chicas has allowed me to share who I am without holding back. I have always maintained everything true to my style, which I can describe as simple, sophisticated and chic. I’ve learned so much from this beautiful journey especially to be true to myself and to never give up on my dreams.
Maintaining Lovely Chicas has not been easy. If I could detail how hard this has been and the struggles I’ve encountered you probably wouldn’t believe me. Yes, there have been times I’ve wanted to give up but the passion I have for this blog is so strong that I just can’t let it go. It’s become more than a hobby its part of who I am. This isn’t just a fashion and beauty blog. Lovely Chicas is a place where girls can feel beautiful and confident.
These past few years have been amazing. I’ve accomplished things that still amaze me. I have been given so many opportunities and possibilities from Lovely Chicas.
Now onto the anniversary photos, the fashion look I created to celebrate these four years features a cropped blouse and mini skirt both with golds studs from A’GACI. For shoes I wore golden snake print heels. A chic and sophisticated look accessorized by heart balloons. To thank you all for your constant support and in celebration of Lovely Chicas 4th anniversary all month long I will be hosting a “Blogivesary Giveaway Extravaganza”. This month will be full of amazing giveaways! The fist giveaway will be two $50 A’GACI gift Cards! One will be given away on facebook and the other on Instagram. Be sure to check out both social media sites to participate.
Bring on the BBQs and the firecrackers because I’ve got your dose of red, white and blue fashion for Independence Day.
Theme dressing for the 4th of July can be a bit tricky especially when you have to work with red, white, blue in addition to stars and stripes.
My trick in wearing patriotic attire is to style them accordingly by hinting at my American pride without going overboard.
This year I decided to keep my look cool and casual by channeling my inner country girl. Obviously, nothing says the Fourth of July like wearing an American flag blouse. Pairing denim shorts to a look is always my favorite option. Plus the shorts high-waisted silhouette worked perfectly with the blouse. For a truly all-American ensemble I wore my favorite chic cowgirl boots. I love how the boots add western-inspiration with the touch of some cowgirl flair.
The most epic and realistic Tarzan film premieres on June 30th in Puerto Rico. The Legend of Tarzan from Warner Bros. Pictures stars Alexander Skarsgård as Tarzan and Margot Robbie as Jane. The Legend of Tarzan presents a whole new take on the century-old story. It shows a grown up man once known as Tarzan who has left behind the jungles of Africa and is now living a civilized life as John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, with his beloved wife, Jane. He is invited back to the jungle to serve as a trade emissary only to find finding dark deeds afoot and rediscovering his savage side in a fight to save the wild land he loves.
In honor of this long awaited movie premiere I’ve created an outfit inspired by Tarzan. Tarzan is famously known for the brown loincloth, which is his fashion statement. Since people don’t usually walk around in a loincloth, to channel this look, I chose a simple brown suede frindged dress. To accessorize, I added a cork crossbody bag, snake earings and a cute pair of feathered lace-up sandals.
My makeup and manicure is inspired by the jungle, Tarzans true home. The makeup and nail polish used to create my wild look is by Flormar Makeup located in Plaza Del Sol in Bayamon Puerto Rico. I was completely inspired to feminize Tarzans look by simply adding girly and chic accents.
Now onto the good stuff, thanks to Warner Bros. Pictures and Flormar Makeup one lucky subscriber will have the chance to win movie tickets to the premiere of The Legend of Tarzan on Wednesday June 29th. In addition to the tickets the winner will receive some special goodies from Flormar Makeup. To enter this giveaway checkout my facebook page for more details.
Be you, Be Lovely

I think of my Little Black Dress (LBD) as my BFF. It’s always there for me and never fails me. With my LBD I don’t worry about what to wear to those many events I attend. “I have nothing to wear!” freakouts are none existent when you have a Little Black Dress to count on. It’s super simple to create an entire outfit around your favorite LBD because of the versatility. LBD’s are like a blank canvas for accessorizing. Pairing it with heels converts it to a fancy look or opt for flat shoes which makes it perfect for a casual girls night.
The sophisticated, sexy, body-hugging LBD I’m wearing happens to be my favorite. It’s perfect for classy soirees or a date night.
How do you style your favorite Little Black Dress?
Yay! Summer has officially begun! Truth be told, it’s actually summertime all year round in Puerto Rico.
Last week one of my childhood besties came to visit me from New York. We had a blast together and a much needed “girlcation” (Girls Only Vacation). Our main goal besides touring the hottest spots in Puerto Rico was to distress. So, we began by visiting Mar Chiquita Beach in Manati. After, we visited the Coamo Thermal Hot Springs. These springs are one of Puerto Rico’s natural wonders. By any chance if you’re wondering, the spring’s hot water is created by a dormant volcano under the ground, which still contains hot magma. Water from Coamo’s river finds its way to the magma and mixes with its natural minerals creating sulfurous water, which is than filtered out to the surface. Amazing right?! I was definitely blown away. After I bathed in the thermal pool my skin felt so soft and healthy. Our last official stop was at Cabo Rojo but on our way we visited La Frutera in Mayaguez where we enjoyed a delicious Green Juice. Afterwards, we continued our journey towards Cabo Rojo’s Lighthouse. Now, Los Morillos Lighthouse (El Faro) is a very historical site and one of the top places to visit in Puerto Rico. As you will see in the pictures on my trip to Cabo Rojo I opted for a comfy look with a white t-shirt , white shorts and G.H Bass & CO. sneakers from La Defensa.
I love interior tourism and road trips because there are so many beautiful sites in Puerto Rico. You probably won’t believe me but I’d lived in PR for more than 10 years and I had never been to any of the spots I visited on my mini girlcation. Yes, I know, shame on me. Experiencing so much beauty left me in awe. Puerto Rico may be a small island but it has so much to offer.
Be you, Be Lovely
