Valentine'​s Day Tips from Mally Beauty

Whether you’re a single lady, in a committed relationship or just celebrated an anniversary, let’s face it – we all want to look our best this Valentine’s Day. So, if you’re spending it with your closest girlfriends or with your soul mate, here are three looks to choose from:

Pretty Pink Lips: A pink pout looks good on every skin tone and every age. If you want to choose a light pink, try the Mally Beauty Lip Defender Volumizing Lip Gloss in Pink ($29) that creates plumpness to your lips. If you want a more intense pink, try the Mally Beauty Lip Magnifier in Fierce, a bright fuchsia. No matter which pink you choose, start by exfoliating your lips with the Mally Beauty Perfect Prep Lip System ($35) that conditions the lips so they look and feel soft and smooth throughout the day.

Smokey Emerald Eyes: A smokey eye doesn’t have to be just gray or black – play with color! The hottest color this year – Emerald – is just the trick. Use the Mally Beauty City Chick Smokey Eye Kit in Central Park ($40), follow the easy-to-use palette that includes all of the steps to creating an intense smokey eye.

Black Liquid Liner and Red Lips: A sultry eye and lip are the perfois combination for a night out with the girls. Start by applying the Mally Beauty Professional Ink Liner ($23.64) and creating a slight wing tip at the corners of your eyes. To find the right rouge lip to match, try Mally Beauty’s Red Lip Kit ($35) that comes in three shades: Cool Red, Neutral Red and Warm Red.

Golden Goddess: Create that glow, by using a bronzer that is 1-2 shades darker than your natural skin tone. Apply it to the following areas: concentrate on the perimeter of your face and start behind the ear, working down along the jawline. Then, go across the top of the forehead (along the hairline). Lightly sweep across the forehead, bridge of the nose, cheeks, and tip of the chin. To prevent your face from looking "muddy" or "dirty", make sure that you also apply a great pink blush on the apples of the cheeks, and a sweep of highlighter on the tops of the cheekbones. Try Mally Beauty Believable Bronzer ($40). Next, apply a shimmery champagne eyeshadow all-over eyelids. Try Mally Beauty Evercolor Shadow Stick in Saddle Shimmer ($25) and finish off with a nude lipgloss. Try Mally Beauty Super Natural ($20).

OSEA Undaria Algae Oil



An exotic, omega-rich cocktail, OSEA’s lightweight marine-based body oil is loaded with luscious seed oils - acai, babassu, passion fruit, sesame, and Undaria algae, to deliver powerful antioxidant vitamins and essential fatty acids to dry, sun-damaged skin.

Their certified organic Undaria Algae are hand-harvested off the coast of Patagonia, from the most pristine waters on the planet. It is then soaked in organic seed oils for six months at the OSEA seaweed farm on the southernmost tip of Argentina.

Undaria Algae (common name: Wakame) is composed of molecules known as Fucoidan, which play a unique role in maintaining skin cells. Undaria inhibits the activity of hyaluronidase - an enzyme that breaks down the hyaluronic acid in our skin. Hyaluronic acid makes skin smooth, elastic, firm, and flexible, without it - elastin and collagen lose their ‘glue’ and skin sags and wrinkles.

OSEA Undaria Algae Oil ($38) contains concentrated sea minerals, rich in B vitamins, to firm and tone. Potent omega fatty acids minimize redness and inflammation. Vitamins A, C, and E along with hydrating sea minerals, help repair environmentally damaged, sensitive skin and restore a healthy glow. OSEA Undaria Algae Oil absorbs easily with no greasy finish and carries nutrients deeper into the skin.
