Mally Beauty Reviews

Mally Beauty Reviews Detail

The Muse has grown quite attached and fond of her Bobbi Brown Concealer Palette since hauling it many, many, many months ago. At first I wasn’t sure I loved it but now I have unquestionable admiration for it. I have many, many, many concealers and the one I reach for daily is the Bobbi Brown Concealer Palette. The combination of concealer and finishing powder makes my woes into smiles! It conceals dark circles, fine lines, and all my other problems with a quick swipe of my brush! Loves it!

I succumbed to the draw of Mally Roncal’s sweet drawl and winning smile and bought the Mally Beauty Defend Your Beauty kit from QVC about a month ago. It was hard to resist this kit because it is absolutely loaded with gorgeous products. The one item I’d most wanted to try was Mally’s Poreless Face Defender. I’d read reviews of it (on Prime Beauty among others) and had been wanting it for quite a while but wasn’t willing to spend the money. Then this kit showed up and not only does it have Face Defender but it has new products like Face Defender Blush in Pink Perfection and Face Defender Highlighter in Gorgois Glow and that was it. I had to buy it.

Black Beauty Supply

Black Beauty Supply Detail

One’s hair is essential to every look, whether it is fried, dyed and laid or laid to the side; braided or loose; kinky, curly or straight; and even glued, sewn or bobby pinned. According to the Black Owned Beauty Supply Association, the Black hair care and cosmetic industry is a $9 billion industry and it serves millions of African-Americans.

But while African-Americans are spending most of the money in the industry, especially in regards to extensions, they are profiting the least. Most of the money being made in the industry is going to other ethnicities, the Koreans mainly.

“It is very hard breaking into the (hair) industry, being a Black owned business,” said Nora Johnson, an owner of Sisters Beauty Supply, Downtown. “They (Koreans) own it because they have the money. It takes a lot of money and a customer base to keep it going.”

Asian Beauty Secrets

Asian Beauty Secrets Detail

Asian women are one of the most beautiful women in the world. Their beauty is due not only to the genetics but also to the way they take care of their skin and the procedures they do to maintain their beauty.

The traditional anti-aging products (creams, moisturizers, serums, masks) that are widely spread in USA and Europe are focused mainly on decreasing the signs of aging – wrinkles, fine lines, age spots. In other words these anti-aging products affect only the surface of the skin. Unlike the western medicine, the traditional Chinese medicine pay special attention to the whole body, as well as to the factors that lead to premature aging. The Chinese medicine pay attention to the internal organs, the presence of toxins in the body, the body energy.
