    Are you ready for a little glam? Do you watch novelas? Mary Kay and 40 #LatinaBloggers are turning up the heat and bringing you the latest in makeup trends and novela goodness all month long. We’re excited to collaborate with Mary Kay once again!

    Mary Kay is one of the official sponsors of Univision’s original web series “Arranque de Pasión, La Historia de Ela.” A co-production between Univision Studios and Kate Del Castillo Productions, Inc., “Arranque de Pasión, La Historia de Ela” is airing on UVideos and Univision.com as a series of five-to-seven minute webisodes released at midnight ET every Monday, Wednesday and Friday through May 3rd, with a national airing of the novela in its entirety on the Univision Network on Sunday, May 5th.

    Starring internationally acclaimed television and motion picture actress Kate del Castillo (as Ela), as well as popular leading men Carlos Ponce (as Checo) and Christian Meier (as Jordi), the series is centered around Ela, an accomplished auto racing driver who encounters love, drama and competition on and off the track.

    Mary Kay, along with celebrity makeup artists and U.S. Glam Squad members, Luis Casco and Mariela Bagnato, have developed the “looks” for “Ela”(Kate Del Castillo) and “Marité” (Gabriela Vergara).

    Univision.com/ArranqueDePasion and Mary Kay makeup artists will share tips with viewers on how to replicate the characters’ looks which were established by Mary Kay. Latina bloggers will create their own looks inspired by the show.

  3. Top Blogueras and Mary Kay {Slideshow}

    2 Comments

    The Top Bloguearas Retreat in Washington was all encompassing. Concerns about immigration, health and education were addressed to the Obama administration. Business development sessions and personal mentoring opportunities were just a few of the enriching experiences offered to bloggers. We cannot think of a better brand to have worked with during this groundbreaking retreat other than Mary Kay.

    For 48 years, Mary Kay has made it their mission to enrich the lives of women around the world by creating opportunities for them. Envisioning a company where any woman can be just as successful as she wanted to be, Mary Kay Ash made it possible for mothers to balance careers and family life. With honesty and integrity at the core of the company, Mary Kay offered the Top Blogueras a rainbow of options for Spring and hands on communication about the brand.

    Somewhere in between Mango Tango and Rock ‘n’ Red lip gloss, the bloggers shared several intimate moments about the way they feel with makeup, what suits them and what doesn’t. It’s always great to try something new, look in the mirror and love what you see. Even better – Being surrounded by amazing women who support you and like you just the way you are.

    The Mary Kay Beauty Bar at the first ever Top Blogueras Retreat created by LATISM truly embodied the sisterhood experience. Thank you Mary Kay for being such an integral part of this momentous occasion and for authentically executing the mission of the company.

    I’m sure by now you all know that The Mary Kay Glam Suite during the LATISM conference was all the rage. Between the mimosas, hilarious girl talk and the breathtaking views of Chicago’s exquisite architecture, it was an experience we will remember for a long time to come.

    Who doesn’t love to be pampered once in a while?

    And, of course, it’s not a pampering party without our fabulous beauty and fashion bloggers on board to gather the best of the best in the Latina Blogosphere to join us for an afternoon of fun and preparation for the LATISM Awards Gala taking place that evening.

    We are very thankful to our Mary Kay Ambassadors Flor De Maria, Daniela, Janice and Mercedes for being such great hostesses!

    We’ve enjoyed reading every one’s Mary Kay experience. According to our beauty expert Ambassadors and many of the Bloggers who attended the event, the makeup lasted all day and the Glam Suite was a great bonding experience. We learned that breakfast and makeup go hand in hand perfectly and if you want a lipstick with a huge wow factor, you must try Sunny Citrus.
