My mom finally convinced me to see the movie at movies with J.LO and I remember everyone was so quite at the end, crying.
My mom wanted to get me a poster for my room and I remember that day like it was yesterday I was so upset, I didn't want to talk about it and I couldn't see anything regarding her because I was so young and didn't know how to process what I was feeling. When I first learned of her death, I didn't want to hear anything about her again. I remember the day she died as well, I was little girl and she was an artist I looked up to SO much! I loved her music and tired to do my hair, makeup, and create outfits like her. I can never not see a photo of her or hear her songs without crying, so I teared up reading this post. For me, this collection goes beyond the makeup.the colors.the quality! When I see her name, I think of her heart & soul.
When I use these products, that is what I'll think of. Whenever I get off track, I think about how she lived her life. You don't see qualities like hers much anymore. Her impact on me in death was very strong, so I can imagine her impact on people while she was living. There was a concert later that evening.ĭo you feel the love? I have 3 cds of hers and I love her music. The Quintanilla family was there (God Bless Her Mom.picture below). Dunkin Donuts made specialty donuts for that day. I loved seeing their remembrance tshirts, costumes, nail art, and odes to Selena. The fans lined up the night before to get the collection. MAC held a big event in Corpus Christi, Texas. I thought I would include some pics that I saw on Snapchat. There is good news! Because of it's popularity, MAC will be releasing this collection again (see below). This collection sold out within minutes at Macys, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Belk, etc. Many of her true fans (even ones that signed the petition) were left with hardly anything. MAC pretty much sold the collection to customers who spent over $150 - $500+ a year. Many bought multiples to re-sell on eBay at exorbitant prices. Some maliciously joked about the collection. Some YouTubers mispronounced names of the makeup (her songs). Many did not know anything about Selena Quintanilla to relate to this collection. Because of the age difference, some thought this collection was about Selena Gomez. This collection didn't go without controversy. Selena loved the color purple, which explains the packaging. She used Selena's own personal makeup bag to put this collection together. A petition was started and it gained enough signatures that MAC worked with the Quintanilla family on this collection. There had been talk among the beauty community for a MAC x Selena Collection. She had so much more to offer this world. They had a modest home right there in their community. She loved her husband and wanted to start a family.
She had a small role in a movie Don Juan Demarco.
Opened her own business (a boutique shop), where she designedĪccessories & clothes, and had fashion shows. Selena gave back to her community in CorpusĬhristi, Texas by raising money & awareness for charities. Started out doing fairs, traveling in an old bus, but ended up selling Group, that was just about to crossover into mainstream music. Let alone kill her? She and her family formed a successful musical I drove straight home to find out who she was.įinished it, I kept asking myself. I could feel & hear the love (through the radio). But from just sitting their & listening, I knew she was loved by many. I didn't know what Tejano/Tex Mex music was or sounded like. I sat still in my car listening to everything. The outpouring of grief, sorrow and condolences I heard over the radio really got to me. The radio host stated that popular Tejano (Tex-Mex) singer Selena Quintanilla had been killed.
I had just finished working out at the gym, sat in my car and turned on the radio. I unfortunately learned about Selena Quintanilla the day she died (3/31/95).
