Spotlight On A Brand -- Mally Beauty

I recently stopped by Henri Bendel's for a quick event and spotted this gorgeous display of pink. A lover of pink for years, I had to take a closer look. The sign read "Mally" and I had to know who she was. I spoke with a few of her makeup artists and they told me more background information. Mally Beauty is a brand started by lovely celebrity makeup artist, Mally Roncal. Mally had an ability to make her clients not only look amazing, but feel amazing. This made her a quick favorite among stars like Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Mary J. Blige, Hayden Panettiere, Rihanna, Teri Hatcher, Celine Dio, Lee Ann Womack, and Ashlee Simpson.

With her success as a makeup artist, she decided to take it a step furthur. She set out to create a cosmetic line. With the introduction of the Mally Beauty makeup collection, Mally takes her messages of "Makeup is simply the accessory that allows soneone's true nature and beauty to outwardly manifest itself" and continues to make women everywhere see the beauty inside as well as out. 

I was immediately impressed by the pigments of all her products and fell in love with the fun, cute packaging. I like the message of the brand and will definitely check out her products more in the future. You can purchase Mally Beauty on her website and on QVC.

Vincent Longo Cosmetics: Meeting Vincent Longo & Henri Bendel Trunk Show Event Photos

I had the amazing opportunity to meet an incredible artist and a man who changed the beauty industry today. The fantastic Vincent Longo. We met at the Plaza hotel in Manhattan, drank cappuccinos and laughed about beauty, life and New York. He was amazingly humble, charming and intriguing. I interviewed him with a few questions that I was dying to know and I will be posting that interview shortly. We'll need a separate post for that :)

We met right before his exciting Henri Bendel trunk show. It's rare to see a master at work, but I was privileged enough to be invited to watch. The event featured his new and exciting products that he recently launched called the "New Essentials Collection." 8 appointments were available and as you can imagine, they were all booked! As soon as we arrived, his first appointment was waiting. A gorgeous woman who herself has been a lover of Vincent Longo products for quite a while. Onto the photos:
