So, I told you about when I was at home sick a few weeks ago and I purchased the Givenchy Makeup Palette right? Well….I may or may not have held back the fact that I also purchased this Mally Beauty Carefree Color 3-pc. Kit too! I can’t resist the energy and enthusiasm that Mally projects–she could talk me into buying ocean front property in the Sahara!
This 3-pc kit ($35.46) creates a fresh, flawless face in minutes. It includes:
- Perfect Prep Neutralizing Primer
- Evercolor Shadow Stick Extra in Bliss
- Blushing Brilliance Blush & Highlighter Wand in Fiesty/Fierce
I was most excited to try the Perfect Prep Neutralizing Primer. This is a fairly new primer that boasts a color-correcting hue that neutralizes sallow tones, redness and veins. I did notice after using it that I didn’t need to use concealer on my chin to cover the redness there and that’s a definite win! I applied the primer to half of my face and saw an immediate blurring effect on the side with the primer. My pores appear smaller, the rough texture on my chin is smoother and my whole face looks fresher! Unfortunately, my camera couldn’t capture the subtle difference. The texture is lightweight with just the right amount of slip to it and my foundation lasted all day with no breakdown. I appreciate the tube having a pump on it for sanitary reasons. This is a real winner for us over 40 beauties!
I adore Mally’s Evercolor Shadow Stick Extras so I’m delighted to have another shade to add to my collection. The extra line is the queen of multi-tasking. Mally’s Evercolor Shadow Sticks are truly smudge-proof, transfer-proof and crease-proof! These babies will NOT come off until you say so! Bliss is stunning shimmery beige taupe with a silver shift with universal appeal—LOVE this shade! Aside from the quality of the shadow sticks and the wonderful colors, I love the convenience of these!
The Blushing Brilliance Blush & Highlighter Wand in Fiesty/Fierce consists of a double-sized wand with a cream blush on one end and a cream highlighter end. As an older woman, I prefer cream blushes and highlighters over powders because they don’t settle into my lines and wrinkles. This wand provides a sheer flush of color and a soft, lit-from-within radiance in one convenient stick! Fiesty is a creamy, warm medium pink blush that blends beautifully and easily. I even used it on my lips! Fierce is a pretty shimmery champagne highlighter that flatters all skin tones. I’m not sure if this is in the regular line, but I would love a few more colors!
The combination of all three products results in a pretty, fresh and carefree face in literally minutes! This kit is a great value too: the primer alone is $30, the shadow stick $25 and I guesstimate the blush/highlighter duo at $25 which is a total of an $80 value for only $35.46! Get it on QVC here.
On a side note: what do you think of my new bangs? My sister made no bones about telling me she hated them and didn’t think they were flattering. What say you? Tell me the truth, beauties I trust you!
I would fall for this cute kit too! I adore Mally’s shadow sticks and I have a similar shade but w/o the silver shift. When it comes to bangs, you know where I stand 😉
Thanks Allison!
You look stunning! I haven’t tried Mally’s line of cosmetics but I have heard great things about it. I am now very curious about the shadow sticks. Thanks for your review. I think I will give them a try!
The shadow sticks are amazing! Beautiful shades, long lasting and easy to apply!
Girl, keep the bangs. I like it! This kit is awesome, I love the colors. The eyeshadow is lovely and easy to use. It’s nice that the blush has a highlighter attached to it.
Yes, I love the double-ended wand, so convienient!
The first thing I noticed was how much softer your face looks with the bangs. My sister usually gives me her unwanted advice and I hate it. The Mally crayon shadows are terrific. I need to check out that shade.
Thanks Marcia! I love the Mally shadow sticks too!
I completely agree with Marcia
I love your finished look!
Thanks Phyrra!
I think the bangs look lovely and as a woman who just turned 40, I think I could appreciate these products. Can you get them in Canada?
I’m pretty sure if you order from http://www.mallybeauty.com they ship to Canada.
Awesome kit! I really like the color of that shadow stick, it’s perfect for the daytime.
I love this shade!
What a cool kit. I love the shadow stick, that is a really gorgeous colour and looks AMAZING on you!
Thank you!
Those shadow sticks look so easy to use!
They are and they are bullet-proof!
I LOVE the bangs – they look fabulous on you! I am one of those people who thinks that you cannot go wrong with bangs, unless the face length is particularly short.
Thanks!
I really want to try that primer! The neutral shadow stick looks like something I need too
I love this primer, I’ve been wearing it everyday and it keeps my skin moisturized too.
sisters – phooey!! I love your bangs!!! I think they’re cute and flattering.
LOL thanks, Shelley!
First thing I noticed was how great the bangs look; keep them!!
Love the bangs…very, very flattering & give a younger appearance. Great review!
I could really use with a new primer. This one looks like one that I should give a try.
I love that eye stick! What a fun way to put on your makeup and to be able to blend with that.
