She would like to look the best she ever has, but does not have much of a budget to work with. Angelica Castro takes her to a local Los Angeles boutique and shows her that she does not need to spend a fortune to be able to afford some nice designer items. She also surprises Liana with a private hair and make-up session with Eva Longoria's personal stylist.

Episode 2. Ana is a young new singer preparing for a concert, who does not quite know how to define her look.  Angelica takes her to a bargain store in search of the perfect dress for an incredible low price.
