Mally Perfect Prep Under Eye Brightener: A Closer Look

9:00 AM


Continuing with the Mally Beauty theme of an earlier post, I bring you another piece in the Mally 7 Pc Makeover Collection TSV I purchased a few weeks ago off of QVC. 

This is the Perfect Prep Under Eye Brightener in Lighter.  This comes in a wand-like applicator, similar to what her lip colors come in. 


Twist up, and the brightener comes through the brush so you can apply directly under the eye and dab in with your finger tip.  You'll notice the color of the product is quite yellow, as this is a brightener and is meant to counter any dark and dull concerns you have under the eye and on your skin. 


I apply this before my concealer, as this isn't a concealing product (see how translucent it is below?).  But, it does in fact do a nice job of brightening the under eye region without adding too much product prior to your concealer. 



You can see this has a yellow tone to it, so if you have redness that needs correcting, this does a very nice job.  Thin, easy to apply, blending easily into the skin, it doesn't get to thick when applied under concealer.  It's taken some practice, but I really am liking this product.  At this point, I'm not sure if I would actually repurchase outside of the kit - I don't tend to have too much redness, for me its dark circles that are the issue - but it's a nice thing to have on hand if I need a little help!

Oh...Hi! Remember me?

Wow...time has really gotten away from me.  Between work, family, just life in general, I realize I haven't spent any time on the blog.  So, I am in the midst of sorting through tons of pictures and looks to start posting again!

Mally Beauty's Diamond Unpowder in Light - A closer look

4:58 PM

 
I picked up Mally's most recent TSV on QVC about a month ago, and in it was her Age Rewind Diamond Unpowder.  I picked up the Light color.  As you can see, especially in the second picture down, this has some yellow tones to the powder, which will help in correcting redness and imperfections.  Also, although not evident in the pictures below, there is a slight shimmer, but nothing that I really noticed on the skin.  Instead, the color and shimmer just added some brightness to my skin-tone, which is quite dull this late into the winter!
 



The brush is this full, soft, rounded fluffy brush.  I was so excited when I felt this - it picked up an ample amount of powder, and gave nice soft coverage, but unfortunately I have found that it is shedding quite a bit.  I am hoping this will slow down, because I really like this to add highlight to the skin - the shape is nice works well on the apples of the cheeks, and has just enough density to add some color without overdoing it on the application.  But, until the shedding stops, I think this one was a miss.


Unfortunately, I'm not really seeing the differences in pictures (befores and afters) that I see in person, so I don't have any to share.  Have any of you tried this product?  What were your thoughts? 

FOTD

A Pink and Gunmetal FOTD: Laura Geller and Mally Beauty

9:54 AM


Ever since I opened the Mally Beauty Favorite Things Volume 2, I have been in love with the bright springy lip colors that came in the set.  Bright corals and pink glosses can really brighten a look, and I find myself reaching for these glosses every day.  Recently I have been grabbing Punch, which is a crème pink. 

Below is a simple FOTD I did last week, using Laura Geller's Spumoni and Sinful Praline baked eyeshadow duo from the Eye Dream of Italy collection years ago.
