Mally Beauty QVC TSV 9/23/2011 – “Defend Your Beauty”
As you guys know from twitter, on my last day in NYC last week I attended a breakfast hosted by Mally Beauty herself, Mally Roncal. Now, I am an unabashedly vocal fangirl, so, this was a great treat for me. Not only get I get to chat with Mally, I got to see her demo some great techniques & talk about some new product launches. But, I’ll save most of that for another post and show you the ridiculous amount of goodies I was able to bring home to try out and tell you all about, too, courtesy of Mally & her PR team.
But what I want to tell you about first is that today, Sept 23, 2011, Mally is the “Today’s Special Value” on QVC, with her “Defend Your Beauty” 7pc kit. This kit was one of the things I brought home, so I wanted to show you some pics to help you decide if the kit is right for you.
The kit includes:
When you look a little closer at the products you might be a bit worried about the colors – don’t be. I can tell you that the gold in the Volumizing Lip Gloss gives just a hint of sparkle and doesn’t overwhelming make you look all OG (*over-gold). The blush looks bright, but it really does blend down to a pretty natural flush color & the hightlighter just gives you a bit of glow, not glowY, if you know what I mean. Of course you know that the Face Defender is colorless because you remember reading about my love for it here, right?
You know what? Why don’t I just show you what I mean with the colors. The hightlighter on the far right just glows. I applied the blush very heavy at the bottom so you can see how I blended it in up top. I put the gloss on heavy so that you can see the barely there gold & the also the pink color. And you can see how nicely the Violet shadow stick works with the Black Cherry Liner. Now, this is on my pale skin, applied heavily – your results will vary depending on how heavy-handed you are on application.
So, what do you think? Are you going to make the call and pick up a kit for yourself? Let me know if you do – I wanna know what you think about the colors, too!
*UPDATE* Just to let you know that this kit is regularly available on QVC, and was not just a One Time Special Value!

Backstage at Rachel Antonoff Spring/Summer 2012 – Makeup
I love going backstage at Rachel Antonoff’s presentations, because she always has the neatest ideas for them. Oh, and one of my favorite makeup artists is usually keying it – Keri Blair, for MAC Cosmetics.
In this backstage interview, Keri tells me about the look and the inspiration for Rachel’s Spring/Summer 2012 presentation:
I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for that quad to come out – I love me some cream shadows.

Backstage at Carmen Marc Valvo S/S 2012 – Models’ Haircut
Anything can happen backstage at fashion shows. And the models know it. In fact, they come in knowing they are blank canvasses that will be molded into what the designer wants them to look like for their show. This includes their hair.
Backstage at the Carmen Marc Valvo Spring/Summer 2012, Carmen decided that one of the models’ hair was too blunt & after discussing it with famed hairstylist, Ted Gibson, the model got a haircut that most people would pay a lot of money for & didn’t realize it.
Would you let the designer, or the show hairstylist, change your hair – given the opportunity – or do you think you would only let them style it and tell them to stay away with the shears? I know I would let Ted cut my hair any time, any way, that he would want to, that’s for sure!
