Last month prior to me leaving to LA for the holidays, I was invited to be a part of a special photo shoot that takes place every December in Miami. It’s a special photo shoot in which selected influencers and bloggers in Miami are treated to some pampering and then have the day end with professional photos being taken. Last year was my first year being invited and I was excited to see how everything would pan out. The day started at The Mondrian Hotel in South Beach here in Miami by having my hair done with TRESemmé hair products. For my hair, I decided to go for a trenza since I can never do them myself. I loved how my side fishtail braid by Sonia Reisin turned out!

Then came my favorite part of all; the makeup. I sat on the chair and let Dayan Herrera from Clarins work his magic. I LOVED how it turned out. Prior to starting, he asked me what look I wanted to go for. I showed him pictures of my usual look and told him I wanted to go with something totally different so I would look different than how I usually look for this photo shoot. Boy, did he deliver! He decided to go with neutral colors and I loved the final look! Of course, as most of you know, my eyebrows are my trademark, so my eyebrows were done by me.

With Dayan Herrera who gave me this fabulous makeup look all with Clarins makeup products. Fellow influencers and bloggers were there as well when I was preparing for my shoot so of course, in true blogger mode, we snapped pictures.

Few more pictures from my look that day. I loved it so much that I couldn’t stop taking pictures of it. Come the night, I didn’t even want to take it off.

With Nicolás himself after the shoot. This was my first official photo shoot so I was nervous because I didn’t know what to do but Nicolás was great at making me feel comfortable. He joked around to make me relax as you can see in this picture, too. It was great getting to work with him for this photo shoot!

Group photo at the end of the day with some of the people that made this possible as well as a few influencers.

Here’s the official photo from the shoot that day! I LOVE how it came out! A BIG thank you to everyone who made it possible from the hair to the makeup to the pictures. Thank you to Laura and Susan for the experience and the beautiful picture that came from it.
