Kawaii Cosmetics: Mally Beauty

I am totally in love with Mally Roncal, the adorable make-up artist who has a pink and pretty line of superb cosmetics exclusively on the shopping channel QVC. Here is some info about Mally from her own site:

As a young girl, Mally began experimenting with color and makeup on her mother, an incredible beauty who undoubtedly served as her inspiration. Motivated by her parents, both doctors, Mally pursued a pre-med education, yet she never abandoned her inner passion for art, makeup and fashion. Luckily, with encouragement and inspiration from mentors (including fashion stylist team Mathu and Zaldy, and celebrity hair stylist Danilo, whom she met while designing for Kalinka), Mally soon put aside her pre-med education to pursue her ultimate dream – exploring the power of makeup.

Mally quickly moved to the top of the “it” list of “who’s who” in the beauty industry, quickly becoming one of the industries most dynamic and in demand talents. With her passion for art, color, and design, along with her charm, contagious enthusiasm and magnetic personality, it is no wonder that some of the world’s top celebrities turn to her to prepare for their most important career moments. Mally has also been featured on Oprah, the Today Show, Isaac, the View, and many more.

Mally is mother to twin girls and has another girl on the way! She is of Filipino descent (where she gets her exotic good looks) and has a love of all things girly and sweet. Her appearances on QVC are like beauty how-to shows and worth watching.

What I like best about Mally Beauty are the colors and unique double-duty products she offers. Everything she creates has more than one purpose and all of her colors are truly universally flattering to almost all skintones. She works with pink and coral pink a great deal, the blush colors look like a tinge of actual blushing and that is what you want from your blush. All of her products are like this – they are natural and when I do an entire Mally face I don’t get compliments on my make-up but on my face – as in, Wow, you look really pretty. That’s the kind of compliment a girl likes to get!

Mally knows make-up. As an artist she knows what she wants the colors to look like and how the application of the products should be for the untrained. We don’t spend our entire lives making up faces for photo-shoots so without her expertise you’d think, oh, well I could never do a face the way she does. Wrong! Mally takes this into consideration and creates products for ease of use.

Take her double-sided mascara (genius) for instance. One side is a full-brush that gives lush lashes, the other is scaled down and perfect for lower-lashes. Two in one, baby – it does everything you need plus more. She also offers a lipstick and lipgloss combo. I love this and always wonder why every cosmetic line doesn’t do the same thing? It is perfect for the handbag. I never have to look for my lip gloss once I have my lipstick on (and in my hand bag that could take forever!).

I’ve been using her cosmetics for a couple of years now and was so lucky to get one of her greatest deals from QVC called Mom’s Indulgences. I may not be a mother but man oh man this surely is the MOTHER of ALL beauty buys! I got it for my birthday – it was a total splurge (my birthday is at the end of this month), I usually try to get super bargains as you well know. But ultimately this was a bargain – 14 different items including the cutest pink violet make-up case.

    Have you tried your new Mally products? Apparently we share a love of kawaii AND makeup (you do such a good job of finding makeup that IS kawaii). I really like the idea of double ended products. I only have Mally’s eye pencils – they’re wonderful.

  2. Hi hunnie, great blog! I really treasure this post.. I was wondering about this for a while now. This cleared a lot up for me! Do you have a rss feed that I can add?
