What if you could smell the way that Beyonce, Heidi and Angelina look? Each celeb has a very different look, but they do share the same make-up artist, Mally Roncal, a pretty fab lady who’s just launched her own perfume via QVC. It’s simply called the Mally Beauty Fragrance and is described as clean, fresh and citrusy, and runs for $59.16. The scent is based from the Sampaguita flower, the national flower of the Philippines and sometimes referred to as a type of jasmine. Sounds refreshing and sweet, and it’s always nice to hear about a career crossover from someone behind-the-scenes (read: a person who actually knows what they’re doing).

When it comes to multi-purpose items, I’m all down for it. That’s why when I received these Q-Tip vanity packs in the mail, I was kind of happy to learn that they serve many purposes.
We’ve all used Q-tips- and even though we were specifically told NOT to, we all know we out in it in our ear canal to, -er, clean up.

But these babies aren’t your old school version. Q-tips recently released a set of Vanity Packs, a collection of four 285 count packs, in four designs with really cute colors! I love the purple one (obvi)! Now we don’t have to worry about that annoying trying-to-open-the-package-without-spilling-it-all-over-the-place!

We can now keep q-tips on our vanity while it looks super cute and blends in. I know gals who used Q-Tips to smudge their eye makeup for that perfect smoldering look. What beauty related use do I have for my q-tips?? Put some eyeshadow on the q-tip and stash it in a ziplock back, that way you can use it later on throughout the day for touch ups. When you’re done..it’s easy to toss. Plus its a great way to avoid a messy makeup in my bag situation

Tip of the Day:
“To achieve a lasting sultry celebrity pout, and prevent lip color from bleeding, dip a Q-tips® cotton swab in translucent powder and apply along the outer edge of the lips. The powder will help the lip color stay through the night.” -Mally Roncal, celeb makeup artist.

“Having lost my mother at a young age, I immediately felt a strong connection with Mommy’s Light. My mother has never stopped being present in my life and I know that keeping her spirit close is what has allowed me to feel fulfilled and complete. I am so happy to support Mommy’s Light, especially now that I am a mother, because I understand the profound difference it makes for children to keep their mother’s memory alive.”
