Wich ones are thebest Brushes for you?

By Maria Laura Carrizo

There are a vast variety of brushes to be

used for make-up. Each one of them has

a very specific function.

All brushes have diverse forms, each

one of them is capable of distribute the

make-up on the skin and create special

effects. The quality of these brushes are

also very important, the best one as usu-

ally the ones with naturals bristles, which

are better for applying powder make-up,

while the brushes made of synthetic bris-

tles are better for applying oily make-up.

In general, it is better to have quality in-

stead of quantity. It also depends on how

you apply your own make-up, if you like

to focus more on your eyes then the eye

make-up brushes are essentials. If you

hardly use any make-up and only apply a

light base of blush, then this type of brush

is the most important to you.

the bush to apply blush on

the cheeks is the most used. There are

specific brushes for this application. The

most commonly used is the medium size

one. There are the ones that are almost

round with the ends rounded and the very

flat ones with rounded ends.

the brush to apply powder

on your face is big, rounded and soft. It

is used in the entire face to distribute the

powder uniformly (creating a fine cape).

There are also the giant brushes, but re-

member, if it is too big it will be difficult to

apply the powder in the entire face.

this brush is not commonly

used in the daily make-up routine. It is

used to apply color in the contour of the

face and in the tip of the nose creating

the same effect the sun would produce. It

is a soft medium to small sixe brush. This

brush has to be the right size. Normally

use to delineate the factions of the face.

• Use the brushes, they are easy and create a more pro-fessional looking make-up. Buy the good quality brushes that will last you a very long time. It is very important to maintain them clean, and bacteria free. Normally, they could be washed with water to eliminate waste. If they need soap try to use shampoo. When you wash them, try to put them under the water flow for the pressure to wash them better. Let them dry in the air.

• The use of brushes is fun; once you get use to them you will be able to experiments and create fabulous make-up.

Recommendations

[ ] in this case, it has to be

a small, very soft brush, rounded so it is

better for applying the light shadow on

the eye (not underneath the eye). This is

the first step to apply make-up on your

eyes.

this is an angular brush, small, very soft to

apply the shadows on the eyelid and on

the line between the eyelid and the eye-

brow. It helps to create effect in the eye.

this brush is necessary when

liquid eyeliner is used. It is very small. For

a very defined line it is better to use the

thin brush, and for a thicker line it is bet-

ter to apply the liquid with more pressure.

we all know this kind of

brush. It is, in reality, a very small comb

to separate the eyelashes. Normally

is a synthetic comb.

it is a small brush, normally synthetic

to get the hairs of the eyebrows to go

into the same direction. It is mostly

used to apply color to the eyebrows.

it is a plain brush with straight

tips. It is used to apply lip color into a

more specific form. iN

By Mayor Tomas RegaladoCity of Miami

Every city has its own attraction.

Ours have many. For the visitors

arriving via air or sea, the profile

of the city alongside Biscayne Bay is

marvelous and invites to rest and enjoy

the beauties of this tropical city. The

Brickell area is, indeed, an important

component of the city profile.

Brickell is an interesting combination

of monumental buildings of condomin-

iums and the largest concentration of

international banks of the whole U.S.

lts residents also show a harmonic

mixture of middle age people, retired

after a successful professional or en-

trepreneurial life, and young people

that just begin their careers on those

major fields.

The recovery of Brickell, after the col-

lapse of the real estate industry at the

end of 2007, is evident. Over 90% of

the A buildings are sold out and the

demand for rental apartments is larger

than the available supply. Every unit of-

fered for rental is immediately snatched

out. Another good sign of the rebirth of

Brickell is how busy restaurants and I

entertainment places are around Mary

Brickell Plaza. l welcome this success

that, on our side, we have stimulated

by keeping property taxes in the city

low. As Mayor, I am extremely proud of

the Brickell area.

I also want to share my concern that

so many buildings together and the

increasing demand for more space to

build, get away with the green areas of

Brickell. Green areas are the lungs of

Miami thrivesIn spite of economic difficulties

I also want to share my concern that

so many buildings together and the

increasing demand for more space

to build, get away with the green

areas of Brickell. Green areas are

the lungs of the cities. Because of

this concern, I have joined Com-

missioner Marc Sarnoff in the ef-

fort to create and maintain more

parks with green areas in Brick-

ell. Another of my priorities in the

protection of the environment is

recycling. On October 1st, we be-

gin the "Fully Automated Recycling

Collection Program" that will save

energy, mitigate global warming, re-

duce pollution, litter illegal dumping and

reduce waste products in our landfills.

Fully automated recycling collection is a

technologically advanced system of col-

lection and disposal that is more cost-

efficient and reduces job related injuries

while enhancing the quality of services

for our residents. Recycle cars are pro-

vided at no cost for our residents.

We are also working to reduce speed

limits on Brickell Avenue to protect the

lives and safety in the neighborhood.

Last March, we implemented a trolley

bus service as an effort to improve ac-

cess to and from the hospital section

around Jackson Memorial Hospital and

the new Marlins Stadium. Next year, we

hope to open a new line alongside Brick-

ell Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard that

will substantially improve transportation

capabilities for the residents of the area.

lt will also reduce vehicular traffic on

those usually congested avenues. The

trolley bus service is free of charge and

does not cost a penny to taxpayers. it

is paid by the half cent increase to sell

tax approved by county residents some

years ago A and by funds from the fed-

eral government and the Florida Depart-

ment of Transportation.

And last, but not least, we have attained

contract agreements with the workers

unions of the city to balance the budget

for the fiscal year 2012-2013. Under the

premise of not raising property taxes

to the residents, negotiations were dif-

ficult, but handled under a spirit of un-

derstanding and search of solutions to

the difficult economic times we are liv-

ing. Once more, Miami has been able

to move ahead amid the economic cri-

sis without firing employees or reducing

services to the community.

I take this opportunity to express my

gratitude to Brickell Magazine for this

window to communicate with Brickell

residents, and reassure them that next

year 2013 is going to be a better year

for all of us.

MonicaSuleski

Monica Suleski is a South Florida dynamo in full explo-

sion of the art and design scene today. Her energy

in build of her massively successful Coral Gables

Interior Design Firm and furniture showroom, Eclectic Ele-

ments, is so hot, it's sending smoke signals sky high with

every move she makes. As if that's not enough to cause this

heat driven doctors wifer and mother of oner to cool down,

she is also Founder and President of yet her other highly

successful company Widebay Estates where she focus-

es on building and designing for sale or rent her celebrity,

highly sought after, waterfront properties. Her stylistic de-

signs have graced the homes of high profile clientele includ-

ing notable celebrities such as Lebron James, Rashard Le-

wis, Carlos Boozer, Lil Wayne, Trey Songz, and Sean Kings-

ton in name of just a few. Though she runs a big crowd,

Monica stays grounded with friends and family, proving you

can successfully mix business with pleasure, as nothing

to her is worth doing without the loyalty and love of both.

Monica's vision sprung early as she was raised between

Philadelphia and South Beach by a Polish father and Colum-

bian mother, giving her a blend of traditional value and clas-

sical Latina style and sex appeal. She credits much all of her

learn in early to her "say it how you mean it" mom Rose, who

taught her the heavy draw of self motivation as a woman,

and how to apply it successfully in a mans world. "I grew

up watching my mother transform our home constantly. My

fascination for design grew out of experiencing the power a

physical space can have on our spirits and our perspective.

Where and how you live shape who you are, your home is

a reflection of you. This is why I love design and why it is

so satisfying." Brought up with an artistic and strong goal-

oriented background, she attended the University of Miami

where her interest for business and design were further cul-

tivated. Upon graduation, Monica wisely traveled globe, and

studied first hand the art of furniture production and design.

"Where you are in life is temporary; where you end up in

life is permanent; how you get from here to there is entirely

up to you. The key to success is simple... never give up!"

A day with Monica is always sure to be filled with fun and

entertainment as she travels in pack of many. She has taught

and composed a diverse and multi-cultural team that con-

sists of driven professional designers and architects who add

to the flavor of the spicy dishes she creates for others to take

taste of. Not unlike beautiful food and the

presentation in which it's served, Moni-

cas interior designs and style continues

to draw them in for

more, leaving be-

hind a unique fla-

vor in stand of her

own. Where does

she get the energy

to respectively run

such companies

in full of her force

one may wonder??

Super powers per-

haps, or just super

driven in drive her

life! To date, the

latter of the two

holds most reason-

able in pick, as she

continues her ca-

reer acceleration to

such high speed,

not even her equal-

ly successful hus-

band Dr. Edmundo Tamayo and thirteen

year old son Christian can slow the stop

of her. Whether at work or on personal

time, Monica stays with the consisten-

cy and strong determination needed to

draw and emit confidence and success

each day. "I love my profession because

everyday is a new challenge and that's

what inspires me to keep going." Wak-

ing up each morning with an abundance

of energy, enthusiasm and will, she starts

her day motivated

by a full body work

out. "A healthy body

is a healthy mind. In

order to have every-

thing we want in our

lives, we must learn

to discipline ourselves

to strive only for the

best." Adhering to a

naturally organic diet,

a strenuous exercise

program and a winning

"never say no" attitude

gives her the non-stop

energy she needs to

run her business. She

carries a vision on the

necessity of maintain-

ing a positive work-life balance. "Health is

equivalent to a lifestyle, not just a diet or

how much exercise you do. It's a combi-

nation of stress management, happiness,

a good environment, good sleeping hab-

its and a well balanced diet and exercise

program."

Aside from her fast paced and busy life-

style, she finds time to give back to her

community and shows yet another tal-

ent that she's steadily become known for

over the years. Believing strongly in giv-

ing back, Monica produces charity events

which she graciously hosts in her water-

front Miami Beach resident. She also

enjoys visiting schools in give of motiva-

tional and inspirational speeches to the

youth of her community and writes as a

columnist for the luxury New York Maga-

zine VENÜ in cover of Miami design.

Her accomplishments are

due to the hard work and

motivation she puts in

each day, not to mention

her consistency in positive

think. "Nothing is impossi-

ble or unachievable, only if

you believe it to be." says

Monica. Her zesty attitude

transcends everything she

does, even onto her spiri-

tual beliefs as "peace and

love" are at the heart of

both her designs and her

life.

Eclectic Elements is

placed beautifully close

to the ultra stylish heart of

Miami, right in the vicinity

of Brickell Avenue. "Out

of the many places in Miami I could have

opened my showroom, it seemed just

right to have it here. It is the variety of

cultures and mixtures of different people

in this area which made me realize... This

is where I want to be." With expensive

residences, radiating apartments, luxu-

rious condominiums and iconic Miami

skyscrapers next to the bay; Brickell is

the epicenter for the urban renaissance

that Miami is currently undergoing and

it's the high-end city living

that draws Miami’s young

upscale professionals to this

side of town.

Always pushing towards the

stars, it's her persistence,

perseverance and vision

which drives her to achieve

and fulfill her ambitions and

dreams. In essence, Moni-

ca's recipe of life has proven

more than just delicious, as

her flavor pallet shows true

taste of the real success in fill

of her life today!

When I first visited Lima, it was my first encounter with

a true metropolis—an energetic cityscape whose rich

history could be felt on almost every corner. I am

a city person, but every time I make the 5 hour

flight back to this country each time I return, I

am surprised by how this urban landscape

continues to change, while at the same

time remaining committed to its past.

There are classic centuries-old hotels

still standing and new ones sprouting up

in stately buildings, innovative restaurants

with cutting edge chefs, and

jewelry and clo-

thing boutiques merging traditional materials with modern

techniques. I keep a list of my favorite spots in the city, which

you’ll find in the following article, they’ll lead you from the posh

San Isidro neighborhood to bohemian Barranco.

The 1927 Country Club, where France’s former president

Charles de Gaulle once spent the night. The colonial-style

building has been converted into the 83-room Coun-

try Club Lima Hotel, filled with Peruvian art from Lima’s

Museo Pedro de Osma, brocade-covered chairs, gilt mir-

rors, and mahogany armoires. Along the nearby malecón

(boardwalk), the Oceanside Miraflores Park

Hotel has one of the city’s best

rooftop infinity pools and panoramic views of the Pacific from

the private in-room balconies. The 33-year-old Miraflores Ce-

sar’s Hotel was the place to stay in its heyday, but a much-

needed makeover transformed it into the more modern Casa

Andina Private Collection Miraflores . Despite its new look—

bold artwork; a palm-fringed indoor pool—the hotel hasn’t

completely done away with tradition: Wood-beam ceilings and

Peruvian ceramics decorate the rooms, and you can still hear

boleros in the lobby lounge.

Over the years I have had my most memorable meals at the

intimate, 15-table Rafael Restaurant, housed in a 1940’s man-

sion. Do not let the traditional atmosphere here fool you: The

Asian- and Mediterranean-inflected Peruvian dishes, such as

lomo salteado made with rice vinegar and pisco, are exquisitely

prepared by the chef-owner Rafael Osterling Letts.When I want

to taste Lima’s most daring culinary offerings, I head to Astrid y

Gastón, in a rambling villa in Miraflores. Lima-born chef Gastón

Acurio’s menu is full of surprises: a “shot” of sea urchin emul-

sion mixed with cappuccino; spicy rabbit spring rolls. Plus, it

has the city’s best selection of Latin American wines (try the

Uruguayan Pisano Tannat). You cannot come to Lima without

sampling Peru’s most famous dish—ceviche. And La Mar Cebi-

chería is the best place to try it in my opinion. The bamboo-roof

restaurant is a hot spot for Lima’s beautiful people and does

not take reservations. But it’s worth the wait for the house spe-

cialties, such as tuna, sesame, and tamarind, or sea bass and

octopus with chile.

When I am in Lima, I always swing by All Alpaca to stock up

on colorful and reasonably-priced sweaters, knee-length coats,

and scarves, all made from downy-soft Peruvian alpaca wool

sourced in the Andes. One of my favorite new jewelry design-

ers is Anna Dannon, who creates the imaginative silver baubles

sold at Ara Joyas, on the lively Álvarez Calderón. You’ll find ev-

erything from sculptural cube-shaped necklaces to thick, gold-

dipped arm cuffs. Mario Testino’s sister, Giuliana, is one of the

most talked-about designers in town. I love her hand-crocheted

clothes at Giuliana Testino. If you do not like your dress hems

short (and these are short), there are also plenty of delicate car-

digans, shawls, and capes. In southern Lima’s up-and-coming

Barranco neighborhood, Las Pallas carries traditional Peruvian

crafts collected by British-born owner Mari Solari. The intri-

cately designed Ayacucho pottery and Andean retablos are the

perfect gifts to bring back.

Britpop duo Pet Shop Boys made their come back with Elysium, their elev-enth studio album after a two years waiting period. Usually marketed in

US as part of Gay Culture, Pet Shop Boys is well known Worldwide more for the quality of their commercial music than for their sexual orientation. Selling more than 100 million records all over the World, they are listed as the most successful duo in british musical history in the Guinness World of Records. Warm deep electronic sounds show a renovation than sometimes reminds the newer Owl City, leaving behind the style they created in the eighties and their biggest hit "West End Girls".

RS Ingredients:

- A lime cut into 8 pieces

- Two tablespoons of

white sugar- Half a glass of c

achaca

- Half a glass of crushed

ice- Glass on the rock

s and

a straw

The history of cachaça goes back 400 years

ago when plantation owners began serv-

ing his slaves because increased physical

vigor. Over the years it was refined distil-

lation and began to drink at the tables of colonial

Brazil.

Caipirinha is based on Poncha, an alcoholic drink

from Madeira, Portugal. The main ingredient is

Aguardente de cana, which is made from sugar

cane. Sugar cane production switched from Madeira

to Brazil by the Portuguese as they needed more

land to plant it on. Before this people in Madeira had

already created Aguardente de cana (sugar cane),

which was the ancestor to Cachaça.

The caipirinha is the national cocktail of Brazil, and

is enjoyed in restaurants, bars, and many house-

holds throughout the country. Once almost unknown

outside Brazil, the drink has become more popular

and more widely available in recent years, in large

part due to the rising availability of first-rate brands

of cachaça outside Brazil. The International Bar-

tenders Association has designated it as one of their

Official Cocktails.

The word caipirinha is the diminutive version of the

word caipira, which refers to someone from the

countryside, being an almost exact equivalent of

the American English hillbilly or the Lowland Scots

teuchter. The word may be used as either a mas-

culine or a feminine noun, but when referring to

this drink it is only feminine (usage of diminutives is

common in Brazil).

In the Brazilian vocabulary, the word caipirinha is

mostly associated with the drink itself rather than

the class of person.

The term caipirinha is sometimes used to describe

any cachaça-and-fruit-juice drink (a passion-

fruit caipirinha, kiwifruit caipirinha or

strawberry caipirinha).

PREPARATIONCut the lime into eight pieces

and place in a glass with sugar.

Crush using a wood mortar,

gently to extract the juice and

pulp of the fruit without too

detached from your skin oils.

Add the crushed ice and cachaça,

and shake, shake, shake!
