What was your favorite stop that Desi explored? Comment below 💜
Refinery29 the clay mask shop. And the market!
gotta love el mercadito!
I wanna go to el mercardito to get me some of the drinks from the bags 😝
Refinery29 nice effort and try , but going skin deep into Desi Mexican culture is not about only going to the "Mercado ". Next time try and do more research.
The permanent makeup and the clay mask place! So lovely 😁
I️ had so much fun filming this! Thank you for having me!!!
Desi Perkins We had so much fun with you! Can't wait to do this again soon ❤️
Love u desi!!! #snapfam
Desi Perkins is an icon!!!! She’s innovative , creative and beyond talented! She represents the whole Latin community!!! Best wishes to the beautiful mrs. Perkins ! 🐓🐓🐓SQUAD
so proud of you chicken mama!! 🐓
Love you Desi! Our new generation Selena representing the Latinas!!!
To everyone saying she’s not a “true” Latina: stop being the ignorant fools that Trump has us painted as, please. Latinos come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. The fact that someone doesn’t speak Spanish (btw Desi DOES) doesn’t make someone less of a Latino. Instead of uniting together because we’re not as accepted (as we SHOULD BE) in the U.S. right now, we’re arguing with each other about who is more Latino. Really!?! We should UNITE. SPREAD LOVE and POSITIVITY!!! Desi, I love you and the whole squad, and this video made me feel so happy to be Mexican American. Sending love from TX!!
Perla Gomez preach! Bc I’m not fluent in Spanish people tell me I’m not a true Mexican, but I grew up around the culture, language and traditions so idk what makes me any less Latina.
Idk is just that actually living in a Latino country gives you a WHOLE different way of living. Life in the USA is not the same as in a Latin country therefore our experiences aren't the same.
Cris Baiiar That’s true but this video is about being a Mexican AMERICAN. It’s a beautiful mis of TWO cultures, and I totally embrace this. 😀
Perla Gomez exactly!
but being AMERICAN is being latino too , America is the whole continent, this is something latinos that live in latin countries totally hate about gringos , we are also americans .
if you mean mexicano-estadounidense i understand that
This video made my heart soooo happy! YASSS LATINA POWER! :)
Watch this video everyone:
th-cam.com/video/3e6ChgL1EC4/w-d-xo.html
It's sad how Latin Americans have been brainwashed to believe they're actually Latin (White) because of colonized European Latin languages.
@@elizal.8473 But I look white...so I'm sure there is European in my family lol
Latina power 💪🏽 yes girl! Keep inspiring us 👏🏼
Guys. Desi speaks Spanish. And even if she didn't she'd still be a Latina so stfu and stop hating or coming up with these stereotypes saying she ain't Mexican enough dios
Ashley Melo yep!
For real it’s like they’re saying Latinos can’t be well spoken and elegant..
This is just on Mexican beauty. When I see a title that says Latino beauty, I think of not just Mexico but Central and South America as well. :/
Jennifer Renee si, a donde está videos sobre mi país, Venezuela? O lo gente de los otro países de Latinoamérica?
That’s true! But they’re also the biggest population of Latinos in the US and the most discriminated.
Omg it's Desi!!!!! I love her and love this series you're doing with her
Latina girls are so pretty wtf wow but how😫😍😭
Pehal Panjwani not all of them!!!
Thankssss💓
Days of our life Us You jelly lol
J88 S Bitch you’ve met every single latina in the world?
js S Nah my mama taught me to keep those legs closed.
So nice seeing Desi not in a makeup tutorial setting❤️❤️❤️
Desi is the most down to earth, humble and genuenly sweet human ever! Specially as a beauty influencer, she is very real. Proud snap fam! ❤️
MY BEBE LOVE LOVE LOVE HER so damn much so proud of this amazing ass year she's had
QUEEN DESI REPRESENTING!
I love Desi!!! So glad she did this video! So much cultural and it’s awesome to see some aspects of Latin America. Beautiful!!!
Mary Ann 10000p agree with you! What a beautiful video!!!
🐔🐔🐔🐔 soooo proud representing us all so well! 💕 I know you have so many things under your sleeves hiding from us you keep popping all these stuff you’re working on idk how many more times I can handle being shook before I have a stroke or something 😩 love you girl can’t wait to see what else you’re doing 💕
This video was great but the title is a little misleading because they manly talk about Mexican beauty and it don’t necessarily accounts for all Latino beauty. There’s nothing about showing Mexican beauty, it’s actually amazing, but just a change in the title would be better.
I loved getting to learn more about this community through Desi's eyes. Everyone seemed so happy and wow, they are all beautiful!
Desi is so amazing! She has such a passion for her culture and human kindness in general. So happy to see her on here. More Desi and other sweet influencers please! :)
DesTheFashionEater 😭😭❤️❤️❤️thank you
Desi Perkins You’re very welcome! ❤️❤️ ❤️❤️
The fact that I used to go there a lot with my family before moving makes me sooo happy but also to know someone is putting info out there about Latino beauty and cultural stuff love ittt 💕
Omg this makes my 16 hour shift at work so much better!! And being on Desi's snap....🙏
I started tearing up. Desi is such an inspiration! This was such a cool video. I live in Tennessee and wish I could see this much of my culture here.
Laura Garcia Have you been to Nashville? there's a huge Latin population there.
Chica you better head to Memphis lol
I loved every bit of this as a displaced Latina on the east coast! I could watch whole episodes, Desi is the best
+tianasigala Glad you enjoyed! What would you like to see from us next?
I'd love to see this channel explore other natural remedies form other parts of Latin America, you guys should definitely expand this series!
Thank you so much for choose Remedios Holisticos. We really care for healthy beauty in natural artesanal remedies that we proudly make. And they work right away. Misnoralba Ramirez Natural therapist the owner.
YASSSS DESI!!! Represent the latinas!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 love it that you're still talking about beauty but going more in depth. I hope other beauty youtubers follow suit (bc I know many of them are fellow Latinos too!!)
Desi is soooo relatable to me, I’m Mexican American born and raised in LA ❤️. I️ love how humble and down to earth you are and how no matter what she does or how much she is growing in her career she doesn’t forget her roots. Love you Desi you’re a true inspiration to me.
She finally admitted that she's Mexican born in America. She had said once that she was Spaniard and Mexican. She looks nothing like Spaniard. Love her and her natural beauty! She doesn't have any fillers on her face!
Spainards are a mixed people also some have Arabic and gypsy not all Spainards have light eyes and hair.
Every time I watch Desi I just love her more, such a beautiful soul😭❤️
I LOVED THIS! I'm minoring in Chicano Studies at my university, and this is crazy relevant! Much needed, so different.
i love +Desi Perkins so much! Her personality is what made me fall in love with TH-cam no matter how large her platform gets she stays herself. Great video!
This series is amazing!!! Love learning about people's heritage 💖💖
This made me so emotional. I am so proud of my Latin roots.
A queen! I love her and her love for her culture! Important to stay close to your roots and your heart ❤️
Loved this Desi! I get so happy seeing any Latina doing well and representing our culture
Love this @desiperkins!!! My dad grew up in east LA and the mercadito is one of my favorite places for chips and candy from mexico💕💕💕 you look gorgeous!!!
Wow I loved this! It's so cool to see Desi and other beauty bloggers embracing their latinidad!!!
Also 🐔🐥
One of the many things I love about being Mexican is great skin!! Thank you Dad and Grandma!!
Yes Desi!!! Love how you show us your Mexican American Side.. I feel like I can relate to you more.. Me encanto todo el video 🤗 Thank You Refinery29 for choosing Desi 😊 She is such a inspiration 🐔🐔🐔
+dannyperez You're very welcome! What else would you like to see from us?
Herbs of Mexico is two blocks away from my house!!!!! Omg I missed you! And it’s East La not Boyle Heights lol
Desi is the best! This video makes me so happy to be Latina!
Desi is so pretty, I really enjoyed this video :) it made me feel happy
the title should be changed to mexican beauty lol
But Mexicans are Latinos thou! Plus it says LA which it's mostly Mexican Latinos!
Nani Castillo yeah but not all Latinos are Mexican...
@@mysoulisdarkerthanthevoid9862 but that's the point of this video so. you're wrong
Exactly Mexico has its own Culture very unique and diffrent from other Spanish speaking Countries.
@@amykarr6163 it's... confusing that you'd emphatically say she's "wrong" if you agree that the focus was on Mexican/Mexican-American beauty rather than beauty practices general to Latin American which was her point to begin with
La Desi is gorgeous! The market stop brought so many memories and how I wish there was one in my area.
why does the video say "latino" when everyone was mexican-american?
jewelzdany1 thank you !
A Latino is someone who is a person of Latin American origin or decent so Mexican-Americans are Latinos...
jewelzdany1 ikr😂
at_trujillo this video is aimed for Mexicans
Exactly they cant say latinos if its only mexicans, cause latin América is huge and we all have different costumes in beauty and everything else
I just love Desi!!
I live in this area and it's so exciting to see it get mainstream coverage!!
I LOVE DESI SO MUCH I FEEL SO PROUD TO HAVE A ROLE MODEL LIKE HER. She's so genuine and gorgeous!!!! 🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
This notification caught me off guard BUT I AM HERE FOR IT
OMG YAS SHE WENT TO EL MERCADITO!! LOVE that place and coincidentally going there tomorrow lol 💞
seriously teared as soon as they came out with the beverage in a bag. Love our culture!
Aw Desi you are amazing in this I'm so proud of you! You a truly an amazing person and my favorite youtuber! When are you coming NY?? I need to meet you
🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔 Desi is so inspiring and admirable! I wish her even more success and I hope to see more recognition for her work and other beauty influencers!
Thank you for this! Makes me feel so proud being Latina
+nikkinicole You're welcome! What do you want to see next?
Refinery29 Maybe something like a "Girl's Guide to International Beauty" where women of different cultures/countries share their best kept secrets for all things beauty ☺
Growing up in east la going to the Mercado was a must & seeing an influencer show my childhood is nice
+jasminerodriguez Thanks for watching!!

i love this sooo much !!
+lauraflor Thank you! What else would you like to see on our channel?
Love desi!!
so much Indigenous heritage is obvious in this video, so beautiful 💜
Mestiza (criollo culture) not indigena 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I wanna try their skincare stuff
Congrats @desiperkins!!
This was super cool and I love Desi
🐔🐣🐥🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓 love it! Representing 🙌🏼🇲🇽and remembering ur roots ❤️#latina
YASSSS DESIIIIIII LOVE HER SO MUCH
Crazy how you see Mexican culture here is so ingrained in the American..while the president himself is building this massive wall to divide the two...makes me feel sad. I love Desi so much and love seeing her going back to her roots.
Inner Maverick he is not building a wall to keep the sharing of culture and good or legal immigrants he is building the wall to keep illegal immigrants not just of Mexico but central and South American countries.
Also I didn't know Katy was a Latina too! 🤔
Arriol Rose she's said it before..her mom is white and her dad is Mexican but she's said many times that her mom raised her and her siblings alone
I was surprised too
maria g Mexican - nationality not a race. He was probably Mestizo.
Arriol Rose she probably is but didn’t grow up in a traditional Hispanic home so she can’t relate at all. That happens a lot, they relate more to just being American. Which sucks cause being a Latina is such a beautiful thing but maybe that’s how she grew up
Her dad is Mexican and her mom is white I think she said in one video that she was only raised by her mom and never got to learn Spanish and Latino culture
This was great, I learnt so much! Had no idea semi perm makeup has Mexican roots :D
I go there every time I go to L.A cuz my aunt lives a street away from the mercadito ❤️❤️❤️
This is a beautiful video.
