Mally's Dream

by - edited

Hi My Loves! Makeup has always been my dream and I wanted to share with you QVC Mallynistas just how important it is to dream and go after your dreams each and every day!

Ever since I was a little girl, I loved makeup. I even sometimes say I was born wearing makeup! I was a celebrity makeup artist for years, traveling everywhere with some of the biggest A-list celebrities. I found myself making and mixing products to meet the demands of my clients and the looks that I wanted to create. At that time, I knew I wanted to eventually develop my own product line!

Of course, any new journey you embark on is going to bring challenges, but I always find that having a positive energy and surrounding myself with people who have positive attitudes is the best key to achieving your accomplishments. I always knew that I wanted to launch my product line on QVC as I felt it was the only channel that would really let me speak directly to my consumers, my "Mallynistas."

My parents were both doctors and I originally went to school to study medicine, but my passion and love for makeup was always there. My mom was a huge inspiration in my life, she was fashion forward and so beautiful. When I told my father I wanted to become a makeup artist, he was (and still is) so supportive in helping my dreams come true, which I am so grateful for!

My husband Phil has been someone very special in my life who has helped me get to where I am today. People always ask me what it's like to work together and be married and I always say, for us, it just works! We help each other every step along the way and I am so blessed to have him and our three beautiful children to inspire me every day.
