Last Friday I was at the M.A.C Selena global launch in Corpus Christi, TX. I’m lucky enough to live in San Antonio which is a quick 2 hour-ish drive to CC. One of my blogging besties, Marisa from Mexi Moments set everything up and drove us down there.
On the way to Corpus I watched interviews that Suzette (Selena’s sister) and Chris (Selena’s husband) had done earlier this month. I really enjoyed getting some behind-the-scenes info and thought you’d like it too! I grew up listening to Selena’s music and I believe she is still a positive and encouraging role model. I hope my daughter will one day enjoy and dance to her music as much as I still do.
7 Things You Didn’t Know About Selena
- Selena’s clothing line had made it into JCPenny stores back in the day.
- Selena would spend her “quiet time” flipping through fashion magazines while her husband played the guitar. How cute is that!
- Selena was working on a makeup line when she passed. Is it any coincidence that M.A.C picked this up and this launch became the largest in M.A.C history?! Ps. There was also this petition from her fans!
- Selena never travelled with a makeup or hair person. What?!! Crazy, right? Talk about a natural beauty!
- Selena was doing a correspondence course to earn a business degree. Smart & Beautiful!
- Selena’s sister Suzette still has her makeup case. She sent pictures of Selena’s makeup to M.A.C and this is how this #MACSelena line is really all about Selena.
- Want to know Selena’s off-stage-every-day-look? Nude-style lipstick, light foundation, mascara, hair pulled back. Wearing jeans and a t-shirt. That sounds like the perfect low-maintenance, Latina beauty style I can keep up with!
M.A.C Selena Highlights
I found these lovely ladies at the #MACSelena event. They were in line at 2:30 am and were among the first to shop! Can you believe the one in the middle is the mom?!!
We found this beauty, Hazel who was kind enough to take our picture when my camera stopped working. And our phones were dead.
Later we found out that all the M.A.C makeup artists at the event had won a contest to be there. That meant only the true fans of Selena and best of the best were there. Look at her entry–she used body paint to transform herself into Selena!
Take a moment to follow Marisa, Funmakeup505 and Slink Jeans on Instagram.

Thank you Daisy! Selena was such an iconic person to the Hispanic community. I’m so happy I was able to share this post 🙂
This looked amazing! I wish I could have gone, I’m so glad you had the opportunity to go. I love Selena and her signature red lips!
