Artistry Ideal Radiance™ Illuminating CC Cream delivers targeted brightening combined with the complexion-perfecting properties of a makeup foundation. When used with the Artistry Ideal Radiance™ skincare regimen, the multi-benefit color correcting formula reveals flawless-looking, more even-toned skin and long-lasting, luminous coverage that instantly helps minimize visible dark spots and redness.

“The ‘alphabet’ cream category is predicted to grow 32 percent by 2017,” notes Vice President of Global Beauty Maud Pansing. “Women today have very full lives and want products that deliver more benefits. With Artistry Ideal Radiance™ Illuminating CC Cream, our scientists have created a solution that does more than cover visible dark spots – it conveniently helps brighten and perfect skin’s appearance in one single step. It’s a natural extension of the collection.”

Brighten. Perfect. Prime.

Like its Artistry Ideal Radiance™ counterparts, Illuminating CC Cream delivers multiple skin benefits:

  1. Brighten: When used with Artistry Ideal Radiance™ skincare, luxurious Pearl Protein boosts skin’s natural radiance while diminishing the look of dark spots and discolorations.
  2. Perfect: Exclusive Multi-Dimensional Finishing Complex, which powers the formula, instantly enhances skin’s appearance as innovative color-control pigments even tone with lightweight, sheer-to-medium coverage.
  3. Protects: Provides sun protection from harmful UV rays.

“Artistry Ideal Radiance™ Illuminating CC Cream enhances a woman’s beauty regimen with clarifying color correction that brightens and perfects the look of skin,” explains Artistry Global Makeup Artist Rick DiCecca. “Skin instantly appears flawless, lit with subtle luminosity.”

Oil free, non-acnegenic and non-comedogenic, Illuminating CC Cream is suitable for all skin types and ethnicities. It can be worn alone or under foundation as a targeted upgrade to tinted moisturizer that also shields skin against harmful UVB/UVA rays with broad-spectrum SPF 50 minimizing the aging effects of free radicals and environmental damage that cause dark spots and discolorations to form in the first place.

A Holistic Approach to Healthy Radiance

The Artistry Ideal Radiance™ Collection includes Illuminating Cleanser, Illuminating Moisture Lotion, Illuminating Essence, Spot Corrector, Illuminating Moisturizer, Illuminating Moisture Cream and, now, Illuminating CC Cream. As the skincare collection’s first cosmetic complement, Illuminating CC Cream helps boost results for women by further reducing visible hyperpigmentation, leaving skin looking even more radiant and more even toned.

– Volaris now services San Juan, Puerto Rico from Cancun, Quintana Roo


– Puerto Rico is the carrier’s first incursion into the Caribbean marketplace


MEXICO CITY, May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Volaris (NYSE: VLRS and BMV: VOLAR), the ultra low cost Mexican airline with the most extensive route network servicing Mexico and the US, as part of their active expansion plan today announced the introduction of new international service from Cancun, Quintana Roo to the city of San Juan in Puerto Rico, effective July 2nd operating with two flights per week.

During a press conference, Volaris CEO, Enrique Beltranena, addressed the importance of including San Juan in the Volaris destination roster and informed the carrier is the only one to connect Mexico with this important Caribbean island in the last 15 years. “Today we are announcing expansion of our coverage to a total of 60 destinations. Sure enough, Puerto Rico is now closer than ever to Mexico! Plus, with Volaris’ clean and clear fares, this a truly irresistible destination.”

“Incorporating Puerto Rico into the Volaris route network responds to our expansion strategy for the region. It also underscores our commitment to Cancun, where we are currently servicing 18 destinations and operating 257 flights per week,” Beltranena said.

He further explained this service opens doors to diversify the island’s offering, “At Volaris we are committed to promoting air connectivity for the country’s most important cities, which in turn fosters their economic development. This is why we are offering connections from Mexico City, Monterrey, and Tijuana, which helps our Customers avoid long layovers at other locations,” he said.

Volaris continues to strengthen its positioning as the Mexican airline with the most extensive route network throughout Mexico and the US, totaling 139 routes to 60 destinations – 22 international and 38 domestic. Since its inauguration, Volaris has transported nearly 50 million passengers, 7 million of which have been for international travel.

“Volaris’ arrival to Puerto Rico is part of concerted efforts by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company to extend access to our destination. With this flight, we are restoring direct connection from our Island to Mexico, which is the Latin American country sending the highest number of visitors to Puerto Rico,” said Ingrid I. Rivera Rocafort, Executive Director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. “Now, arriving in San Juan will be much easier and affordable for tourists who visit us from Mexico,” she added. 

Agustin Arellano, Chief Development Officer at Aerostar Airport Holdings, the managing company of San Juan’s Luis Munoz Marin International Airport said, “Today we are enthusiastically celebrating the arrival of Volaris to Boricua territory. We extend a warm welcome to this carrier, not only for opening a new route for us, but also because it enables us to reassert our commitment of projecting Puerto Rico as the ideal Caribbean destination before the eyes of the world.” He expanded, “Volaris’ incursion to the Caribbean as part of our operational offering positions us as the first cruise travel destination in the Caribbean. With two flights per week, it will clearly provide better options for the varied tourism offering generated in Puerto Rico.”  

Separately, Asur General Director, Adolfo Castro, said, “At ASUR we are delighted with the announcement of the new Cancun – San Juan route, not only are we talking about a new link between Mexico and Puerto Rico, something that hadn’t happened in 15 years, but also, this brings our two airports together, with greater passenger traffic: San Juan and Cancun, serving 8.6 and 17.5 million passengers in 2014 respectively. Added to Volaris’ successful formula, this looks to be quite a promising route, congratulations for that!” 

For those interested in the new service, flight schedules, including dates and times of operation, are announced as follows:

Cancun, Quintana Roo – San Juan, Puerto Rico
(Effective July 2. Thursdays and Sundays)

  • Departing Cancun, Quintana Roo at 11:30 hrs., arriving San Juan, Puerto Rico at 15:50 hrs.

Student Orchestra from Los Angeles and Mexico to Perform at White House Cinco de Mayo Celebration

0

WASHINGTON, May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Students from the Esperanza Azteca Youth Orchestras in Los Angeles and Puebla, Mexico will perform during the White House's Cinco de Mayo celebration today.

The invitation to perform comes after the 2014 launch of the Los Angeles orchestra, the first Esperanza Azteca in the United States, and serves as recognition of the program's positive influence in the lives of thousands of underprivileged youth. With students from both the United States and Mexico, the performance represents the special relationship between the countries, while also honoring those who fought bravely on May 5, 1862 in the Battle of Puebla.

Founded in Mexico
in 2009 by Ricardo Salinas, chairman and founder of Grupo Salinas and its Fundación Azteca, the Esperanza Azteca program has grown to include 80 orchestras and choirs throughout Mexico, El Salvador and – most recently – the United States. Through after school programming, Esperanza Azteca provides more than 16,000 school children ages 5 to 18 the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument in a positive environment where they develop creative skills, resiliency, strong work ethic and determination. The program plans to expand to New York City and other U.S. cities.

"It is thrilling to see these hardworking student-musicians from Los Angeles and Puebla recognized by the White House, especially on Cinco de Mayo," said Ricardo Salinas, founder of Grupo Salinas. "President Obama and other audience members will be blown away by their performance. But
more importantly, they will be inspired by the hard work these young musicians have put in, all while learning valuable life lessons of teamwork, positive self-esteem and perseverance."

The Los Angeles Esperanza Azteca orchestra was launched in October 2014 as a public-private partnership between Grupo Salinas, the City of Los Angeles and other community partners. More than 200 Los Angeles school children are participating in the program's inaugural year, with plans to expand during the 2015-2016 school year. Five students from Los Angeles are joining 15 students from Mexico for the White House performance; many of the American musicians are making their concert debut.

"The Esperanza Azteca program demonstrates the power of collaboration between government, business and nonprofit organizations in improving the lives and education of Los Angeles children and
strengthening our community," said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. "We congratulate all of the students for their hard work and dedication and hope they 'break a leg' in their performance for President Obama."

About Esperanza Azteca

Esperanza Azteca is a network of youth orchestras and choirs that provide young people from low-income families a better quality of life. We seek to form better human beings through music. The project is a joint effort among local communities, local, state and federal governments, spearheaded by Fundación Azteca. The program currently features 80 orchestras in Mexico, El Salvador and the United States, encouraging values such as discipline, excellence and teamwork in over 16,000 talented youth.

N’s National Sexual Assault Online Hotline Now Available in Spanish

RAINN’s National Sexual Assault Online Hotline Now Available in Spanish

Expands services to meet the needs of Spanish-speaking survivors of sexual violence


WASHINGTON, May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — RAINN today launched free, confidential support for Spanish-speaking survivors of sexual assault through the National Sexual Assault Online Hotline. The new Spanish-language service, made possible by a Vision 21 grant from the Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime, will be available 24/7 at rainn.org/es. It is designed to be accessible to survivors among the 37.6 million people in the United States who primarily speak Spanish.

RAINN’s hotline staffers are now able to provide support in Spanish or English. The Online Hotline provides sexual assault survivors with live, one-on-one help in a safe and secure setting, leading them to take their first steps following an assault.

Through the Online Hotline, Spanish-speaking survivors of sexual assault, and their family and friends, will have access to confidential support services, as well as information about short- and long-term care, medical options and the criminal justice process. RAINN staff can also connect visitors with local referrals tailored to meet their long-term needs.

“This RAINN initiative embodies the kind of work the field must undertake to ensure that all crime victims have access not only to services, but access that is linguistically accessible and culturally competent,” said Joye Frost, director of the Office for Victims of Crime. “The hotline’s new Spanish-language service exemplifies our shared commitment to reaching under-served victims through appropriate and victim-centered services.”

RAINN launched the Online Hotline in 2006 as an extension of the National Sexual Assault Hotline telephone service (800.656.HOPE). Visitors can access the Online Hotline through a computer or mobile device any time of day or night to chat one-on-one with a RAINN staff member. To date, the Online Hotline has helped over a quarter of a million people.

Many survivors feel more comfortable reaching out for help online before speaking out loud. “Over 70% of our visitors are under the age of 24, and we often hear from them, ‘You’re the first person I’ve ever told,'” said Candice Lopez, director of the National Sexual Assault Hotline.

RAINN’s online chats are completely anonymous: The technology does not capture the IP addresses of users, so interactions can’t be traced. The Online Hotline is operated by professionally trained support specialists who are responsive to cultural sensitivities. Staff do not need to know any personally identifying information about hotline visitors in order to provide help and resources.

Beatriz Alvarado, a survivor and member of RAINN’s Speakers Bureau, explained that when she was assaulted as a child, her immigrant parents felt as though they had nowhere to turn for help:

“They did not even feel comfortable telling any family members about it, but anonymous help or support in Spanish may have made a huge difference,” she said.

In addition to the Online Hotline, Spanish-speaking visitors will have access to a new search tool at centros.rainn.org: The tool allows users to search by state or ZIP code to identify Spanish-language sexual assault service providers near them. Services provided by local providers are usually free or low-cost, and may include counseling, casework assistance or legal advocacy.

“The expansion of the Online Hotline will be an outstanding supplement to the work already happening at sexual assault service providers across the country,” said Jennifer Marsh, RAINN’s vice president for victims’ services.

RAINN.org’s informational content has also been expanded to provide recovery information, tips and advice in Spanish. Later this year, RAINN will expand its Spanish-language services to include an online group chat system, allowing survivors to connect with and support one another in a secure way through RAINN’s website.

Spanish language services are made possible through a Vision 21 grant from the Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime. The Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance has served as an official partner in launching the services.

If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual violence, it’s not your fault. You are not alone. Help is available 24/7 through the National Sexual Assault Hotline: 800.656.HOPE and online.rainn.org, and en espanol: rainn.org/es.

About RAINN
RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) is the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization and was named one of “America’s 100 Best Charities” by Worth magazine. RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline (800.656.HOPE and online.rainn.org) in partnership with more than 1,000 local rape crisis centers across the country and operates the DoD Safe Helpline for the Department of Defense. In 2015, the Online Hotline expanded to offer services in Spanish at rainn.org/es. The hotlines have helped more than two million people since 1994. RAINN also carries out programs to prevent sexual violence, help victims and ensure that rapists are brought to justice. For more information about RAINN, please visit rainn.org.
