My Interview with Celebrity Makeup Artist Mally Roncal
By Faith
Mally Roncal is one of those inspirational women: beautiful inside and out, an entrepreneur with her own business, a beautiful family…the list goes on. You might have seen her work on your favorite faces from Jennifer Lopez, to Beyonce, to Mariah Carey and more. I have already spent many a night with Mally (watching her on QVC that is).
I caught up with the super busy, super chic beauty guru to dish on celebrities, the Bachelor Wedding and all the makeup tips one could ever need.
What is your daily beauty routine? There’s no such thing as daily in my life, but if I’m not going on camera and just planning to be around the office or at home, my routine is pretty basic. My skincare routine starts with a lot of moisturizer from Dr. Brandt and my new Mally Beauty Perfect Prep Eye Cooling Gel System. Then, I apply my Perfect Prep Poreless Primer, curl my lashes, apply a couple coats of mascara, waterproof eye liner, groom the brows with my Brow Beauty Brow Boost, a touch of color on the cheeks, and a sheer gloss.
What inspired your line? Living on the road with my celeb clients for so many years, I wanted to create makeup that was bulletproof and easy to use so that women could realize their true beauty. It was important for me to give them products that were high performance and long-lasting.
Describe what inspires you to create new products. Definitely my clients! I listen to their beauty woes – especially about makeup companies that promote waterproof, long-lasting makeup and don’t stand true to their word. We test and test to make sure our makeup doesn’t come off, until you want it to. I also strive to give these women the most current, gorgeous colors.
What are 5 beauty essentials that you believe every woman needs? What are 5 key products from your line? Eye Lash Curler (Mally Beauty), mascara (Mally Beauty Volumizing Mascara), eye brow grooming product (Mally Beauty Brow Beauty Brow Fix), blush (Mally Beauty 24/7 Professional Blush System) and concealer (Mally Beauty Cancellation Concealer).
Now you are a makeup artist to the stars. Who have you loved working with? I’ve worked with so many gorgeous, talented women from Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez to Mariah Carey, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Rihanna.
Who would you like to work with in the future? I’m up for anything!
If not a beauty guru, what else would you be? A drag queen and a soccer mom!
Which other makeup artists/beauty gurus do you look to for inspiration? My mentor has always been Mathu Andersen. I met him when I was a teenager. He’s a true artist and continues to inspire me to this day.
Talk about your involvement with the Bachelor Wedding, exciting! When the opportunity was presented to me, I was thrilled to come on board. Molly was such a pleasure to work with. She was completely calm and open to my ideas. We agreed to go with a classic bride look with a modern, sexy twist. When she came in from the downpour after the ceremony, all I had to do was dab her dry with a white towel. The makeup didn’t budge, what a proud moment!
How do you manage your personal life with your busy work life? It’s all about balance and making rules and sticking to them. When I’m home, I make it a point no matter what to have dinner with my family and put all my babies to bed. If I’m away, we Skype the whole time so I can always be a part of their day. My husband and I work together so that helps us stay close all day every day.
Any upcoming projects in the future that we should know about? I have tons of amazing products to share, join me my loves! Mally Beauty on QVC

Edward Beiner: Fun In The Sun
By Samantha
Since the 1980s, Edward Beiner has created eyewear coveted by some of Hollywood’s hottest celebrities from Jennifer Lopez and Heidi Klum to Alicia Keys and Lindsay Lohan. Beiner creates both regular and prescription shades, constantly offering something new and timeless to his famous clientele. The sunnies are classic yet possess a “cool” vibe that has everyone raving. The stylish shades are a hit among those fortunate enough to live in sunny South Florida, where the designer has seven locations.
Beiner knows that great sunglasses can’t just be chic, they also have to be practical and useful. He uses Eye Point Technology which stimulates the human eye and recreates perfect vision, meaning that only the most technologically-advanced lenses are used in his products.
Living in Miami, Beiner draws inspiration from the sunny skies that frequent Florida. Being a Brazilian native, the sun is no stranger to the designer. In a time when people were solely wearing sunglasses for corrective reasons, Beiner capitalized on their accessorizing capabilities and made his glasses fashion staples. The designer works with only the most skilled factories and artisans and the best materials in creating his dramatic, yet totally wearable eyewear. Upon looking at the collection, you can immediately draw in the Miami Art Deco lifestyle paired with classic elegance.
In a rough economy, Beiner’s collection is consistently growing, thanks to his true passion and niche in the eyewear industry. His stores offer his own collection alongside the likes of Chanel, Chrome Hearts and Cartier. It may still be winter, but Edward Beiner is making us long for the summer sun.

Agent Provocateur Has Celebrities Going Animalistic
By Samantha
Agent Provocateur is known for its high-end lingerie that can take any woman from the boardroom to the boudoir feeling confident and sexy in herself. Whatever the mood of the day this British lingerie line delivers in romantic, sensual and exotic collections.
However, nobody said that lingerie is meant solely to be shown off in the bedroom. In fact, the Iona bodysuit is quite popular lately amongst Hollywood’s hot ladies. The leopard print jersey bodysuit is made with built-in cups and a corset-hooked back that comes with a detachable belt and bowtie …that definitly adds cuteness to a steamy hot number.
Jennifer Lopez is the latest celebrity to rock the Iona in her music video “Fresh Out of the Oven”. The bodysuit is already a cult classic …its recently been rocked by Lily Allen, Scarlett Johannson, Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera. The uniqueness of this bodysuit is the cinched in waist that sculpts the body giving a instant nip and tuck to a woman’s silhouette. To find out how you too can rock this look of the ‘”Iona” Bodysuit, ( retails for $350), visit Agent Provocateur.com.
