Hi Beauties!

Happy Hump day!

Dania Ramirez: New Face of Covergirl Cosmetics!

Hi Beauties!

News Update:

Dania Ramirez has been selected to be the new face of Covergirl Cosmetics!

These news are very exciting to me because not only is Ms. Ramirez a drop-dead gorgeous Woman of Color but she is a fellow Dominican!

Dania was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on November 8, 1979 where she developed a passion for acting at a very early age. Today, she is best know for her acting roles in the last season of the Sopranos (HBO), on the TV series Heroes and her role on the X-Men: The Last.

Covergirl Cosmetics through the years has done a great job of selecting a wide variety of ethnically-diverse women to represent their brand. The list of inpirational women is quite extensive and includes other celebrities such as Rihanna, Ellen Degeneres, Queen Latifah, Brandy, Tyra Banks, Faith Hill, Drew Barrymore and others.

Covergirl was founded in 1958 but it wasn't until they launched their "easy, breezy, beautiful Covergirl" ad campaign that the brand became a household staple.

Very Exciting! Congrats to Dania and Latinas allover the world!

XOXO,

Awilda

Hi Beauties,

I received my Essie Matte About You Finisher today and I absolutely love it! I am so excited about this product because it can make any polish you own into a matte finish. Matte Finishes are trending for this coming Fall/Winter and Essie hit a home run with this one. The Product is fantastic and dries really quickly.

Here's a picture for your comparison.


**The matte color looks a little deeper in person. These photos were taken different days.
