Hi Chino and welcome.
If you can see a reflection of your eye then there isn't anything too far wrong. (Your scope may yet need a collimation - easy - but that isn't your first problem.) You don't say what you are trying to look at nor whether you attempted to focus the scope. My suggestion is to start by looking at a reasonably distant object during the day. Make it at least a few 100m, preferably a km or so. This is so it is effectively 'at infinity', just like the stars. Once you are sure you have something in the field of view (other than blank sky or foreground) operate the focusser by turning the knob on the side of the focusser - the eyepiece tube should move in and out of the main tube. You should then be able to find focus. Don't use any accessories like the erecting prism or the barlow (if you have one). Just use the basics to start. Use the longest eyepiece you have (largest number written on the side).
If you get that far you should then align the finder scope so that both the main scope and the finder are pointing at the same spot. There will be some screws that allow the direction the finder is pointing to be slightly adjusted. You need to get whatever the the main scope is seeing to be under the crosshairs of the finder. Once you do that you can use the finder to point the main scope at something in the sky. Start with the moon.
There is a bit more to learn but lets start with that. Let us know how you get along.
