Mally Cosmetics review
I finally received my Fierce in Five Mally kit that I ordered from QVC a couple of weeks ago. Yay!
I've been eyeing her products for over a year but wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the money on them. I have only ordered from QVC one time and that was years ago (like 10-15 years ago). So when I saw that it was available for their easy pay plan of 2 payments, I decided to order it. Because somehow in my brain, it seems like I've spent less money that way.
This was the kit that had the Ultimate Performance liquid foundation that everyone seems to be talking about and wanting to get their hands on. Apparently, it's not available for purchase anywhere else. And it's only available at QVC with the purchase of this kit, I believe. When I first looked at the foundation color, Medium, I immediately thought it was way too orange for me. So much so, that I had already put it away and was planning on trying to sell it later on. However, I kept on reading the reviews about it everywhere and decided I'd give it a try. Well, you know that saying never judge a book by its cover? That definitely applies here. I LOVE this foundation!!! And I don't even like liquid foundation! Ever since I can remember, I've only used cream foundations. I've tried several liquid foundations over the years, but I've never found a liquid foundation that could give me the full coverage I prefer.

This kit also contained the infamous Mally volumizing mascara. I wasn't impressed with it. I may be the only person in the world that doesn't care for it, but I don't. I'll take Clinique any day over the Mally mascara. Sorry!
Moving on, also included in my Mally kit was an Evercolor shadow stick (cream eyeshadow), an Evercolor Ultimate waterproof eyeliner, a High Shine liquid lipstick (basically it's a lip gloss) and a tube of Liquid Face Defender Blush. I ordered the kit for "Medium" skin tones. The blush is awesome! Having never used anything but powder blush, this was different for me. I honestly didn't think I'd like it but I do! It just takes a very small amount, which means that I'll be burnt out on it way before I even put a dent in it. I think this could possibly last me about 3 years, and that's if I used it every day.
The eyeliner and lipstick (gloss) were nothing special. Once again, I prefer my Clinique eyeliner and lipstick over Mally's (sorry all of you Mally fans).
However, I will briefly write about the shadow stick, which is basically a creamy eyeshadow in a tube. Just like the Mally blush, I have never used a cream based eyeshadow before. I will say that I really did like it. The color I received (medium kit) has just a wee bit too much shimmer for me, but even with that shimmer in it, it still looks better on me than the powder eyeshadow that I've used all my life. At my age, I know that I need to be using more cream based products on my face and that I also need to be using matte, not glittery or shimmery colors/products.
**SPECIAL NOTE** If anyone reading this right now isn't sure if you, too, have reached that age where you shouldn't wear shimmer and/or glitter products, then just let me know and I'll gladly give you my mother's phone number and trust me, she won't have a problem letting you know!!
I know that Mally also sells a blush set that is a cream/powder duo. I plan on trying that soon but I'm still trying to figure out what color to order.
So I think that wraps up my Mally cosmetics review. I will look tomorrow and get the actual names of all the product "colors" that I have and I'll post those then.
Thanks for reading my Mally review and as always, if you have any questions, please feel free to post them here or you can also send me an email.
