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". With a soothing atmosphere, the duo demon-strates one more time that good music is sexy and sexless.

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!
