Do I have a major scoop for you: Come October, run, run, run to your closest MAC cosmetics outlet, chicas. Their newest collaboration with Colombian prodigy/designer Esteban Cortazar, who designs for Ungaro, is nothing short of breathtaking. Achingly pretty shades of pink eye shadows and crimson cream blushes are so completely easy to wear, I’ve […]

In addition to reporting on fashion and beauty for Latina.com, I also write up a fashion news page for Latina magazine. It’s really cool, because I get to chat with all kinds of groovy Latin designers from all around the world and find out what’s going on.
