Hey Holiday Shoppers! So, you all know about my extreme love for Ms. Mally Roncal and (almost) everything Mally Beauty. Allow me to introduce you to one more product that Ms. Mally has created! It is the Mally Beauty 24/7 Professional Blush System. This is a great gift for the oily-skinned gal on your list. The system is designed to last all day long, with no fading, smearing or smudging. And it absolutely works!
These are the products I'm loving this week!
So, what are you loving this week, my lovelies?

Lately, y'all, I have been in a beauty slump. Maybe it's because it's summer and I stick to casual, quick make-up because I've been going on vacation, weekend trips, day trips, dates with the hubby, etc. It's just easier to pop on a cheek stain, gloss, mascara and keep it movin'. So, it was time to revive my beauty mojo and when I need to do that, I go to my arsenal and dig out something I haven't used in a while.
This go-round, I have renewed my love affair with Laura Geller and all her baked beauties, particularly the Bronze n' Brighten and a few of the Blush n' Brighten shades. If you've been interested in Laura Geller's products, but thought her blushes were a tad too shimmery, she now has two what she calls "Sugar Free" shades - meaning matte. The Sugar Free shades come in Raspberry and Boysenberry, two really versatile and pretty colors.
So, okay, what old favorites have you pulled out lately? What do you do to revive yourself when you're in a beauty slump?
Dum, dum, duh, dum! The season for weddings is upon us! I remember, as a little girl, how many times I played "bride" and how much I thought of my wedding day. It is the chance to be a pretty, pretty princess and be the center of attention, which was the dream of my young heart (and still, is, really). As a makeup artist, I've had the fortune of beautifying quite a few brides for their Big Day. What I've found is that almost all of them say they want to look their best on that day - like themselves, only prettier than usual. Natural beauty is in! What better way to look your naturally bridely beautiful best than through using one of my favorite products - the lip/cheek stain? And, of those stains, my faves are Three Custom Color's Lip/Cheek Stains. They have come out with a new one called "Marry Me" in both cool and warm options. The Marry Me Lip/Cheek Stain is part of an entire "Marry Me" collection which also includes lip liner and lip gloss. I love it. It gives a wonderful pop of red to the lips and cheeks, which, when paired with a bronzer, a lined eye and some banging mascara, will have you looking elegant, classy and sex-ay! And what bride wouldn't want that?

MAC Just A Pinch Gel Blush came out with MAC's recent "A Rose Romance" collection. I really enjoyed that collection - I'm a romantic at heart and all things pink and pretty make me very, very happy.
One of the products that made me happiest in this collection? Just A Pinch Gel Blush. The name is perfect because this gel blush leaves you with "just pinched" cheeks. Your cheeks will take on a faint, sheer red tint that's immensely flattering and wearable. I wouldn't suggest it for hardcore glam looks, but if you're going for "naturally beautiful", this is the stuff for you.
When I wear this and Lipstick Queen Medieval, I feel like a Jane Austen heroine!
MAC Just A Pinch Gel Blush is still available - get it now!
