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

Bedazzle Queen: Kerin Rose
By Michelle
The “overnight success” usually falls under the category of Urban Legend but POSHGLAM has actually located one— sunglass and accessory designer Kerin Rose with her line, A-Morir. Founded in the winter of 2008 when she bought crystals to bedazzle a new iPhone but instead decided to intricately decorate a pair of new sunglasses… just for fun.
After being ogled for her sunglasses on the streets of New York City, she decided it would be worth her while to make more. All pieces are made by hand and feature between 400 and 600 crystals. Rose began her line with a small collection of four styles and a handful of headpieces and necklaces. Shortly thereafter A-Morir pieces were featured in the New York Post, Missbehave Magazine, New York Observer, The Fashion Week Daily blog, Urban Outfitters blog and many more. Rihanna also recently wore a pair of A-Morir Barracuda sunglasses in her video “Run This Town” and other celebs such as Katy Perry and Jazmine Sullivan have been seen about town in them. A-Morir can be purchased at the following stores, Patricia Field in NYC and Down At Lulus in Oakland, CA or online at a-morir.com

Katy Perry in The Blonds
By Faith
The 2009 Video Music Awards were truly an unique event from Kanye West’s outburst to a Michael Jackson tribute sure to go down in history. The Red Carpet was nothing short of interesting from Lady Gaga in Gaultier to Pink and Shakira sporting the same dress.
One lady who stood out from the masses was the always lovely and original Katy Perry who capitalized on the big trends of the night: metallics and minidresses. Perry rocked an amazing one-of-a-kind piece from Philippe and David Blond of The Blonds. The piece was rhodium-plated and made of silver mesh chains, though a far cry from the traditional notions of armor. Crystals adorned the dress and helped Perry to shine like the star that she is.
Philippe and David also made Perry’s performance piece which was an ode to Frankie Mercury and crowned Perry as one of the best-dressed of the night. The Blonds have dressed like-minded fashionistas such as Rihanna and Beyonce and we cannot wait to see what other designs they have up their sleeves.
