MALLY'S NEW FLUID FOUNDATION

Gerri S — Fri, 12 Sep 2014 22:48:31 GMT

Anyone have any ideas or opinions on Mally's new foundation product A252447?

Saw her last night, sounds great........ but I refuse to buy YET ANOTHER foundation that doesn't work on my skin. I'm 67, I think have great skin and yes I have some wrinkles. I just hate that pasty look most foundations leave. Appreciate any comments or suggestions Ladies.....thanks.

I think a lot of them these days have brighteners in them. I got the last Mally TSV with the compact foundation (it's liquid on a sponge.) I got light which I normally wear, and I swear I could have gone darker. The limited shades here make it hard to find one that doesn't make you look washed out.

One think I liked about Estee Lauder foundations is that they had a plethora of color choices and one usually was absolutely perfect. But I find them all a bit greasy.

Dear Campion,

thank you for your response and yes that is yet another issue.....thankfully I solved that some time back. I am a fair but 99% of the time I go with LIGHT..... eventho there have been times I should have 'upped it' to medium. So now you see why I don't want to spend $40+ on something I end up using, much against my will, trying to alter it so it looks okay. I just read a beautiful comment by a young woman that praised Mally for her contributions to the beauty industry.

The best part of getting it from the Q is that you can use it for 30 days---then send it back if it doesn't work.

I just got a sample of the Dior STAR foundation (brand new) at Macy's---and that is nice. i also got one of the new Estee Lauder Perfection Serum foundation and I like that very much.

So far though, I still think the EL Invisible Fluid is my favorite.

I too got this when it was her last TSV and is one of my all time favorite foundation. I have mature dry skin and hate a cakey or powdery look or anything that shows up fine lines/wrinkles. This does not do that for me nor does the new BE future TSV for the 15 th.

Both are very different though. Mally covers a bit more than the new BE bareskin foundation which is just a bit more than a TM. Mally is a tad more matte than the new BE bareskin and will give me a perfect flawless look. I really love both and went on AD for both kits. These 2 are all I use.

In the last TSV Mally kit I love and use everything in the kit(eye shadow is a tad shimmery for me so I use the BE shadow in the upcoming TSV, 15 th shadow) but other than that I use and love everything in the Mally TSV kit, her lipstick, great neutral natural color, volumizing mascara, a favorite of mine, love the new every color eye lining pencil in navy/black and LOVE that little pot for under the eye area when I don't get enough sleep. I paid $54.98 for her last TSV so think that was a very good deal and glad I went on AD for it.

As for this new Mally foundation. the sponge will give more coverage than the brush but I prefer the brush. If I liked the sponge application better I would pick up a better sponge but I like the brush(is very tiny) and I do also use my real techniques expert face brush for ANY and all liquid foundations as well as this new Mally and the new BE bareskin foundation.

I too got light, ordered both light and medium but the medium was too dark for me. I got bare shell in the new BE bareskin foundation. The BE bareskin gives a tad more of a dewy look, almost like a TM but just a bit more coverage while the new liquid Mally in the compact gives me a more matte air brushed finish.

It would be very hard for me to pick one but if I really had to I think maybe the new Mally although you don't get a lot, won't last as long as the new BE but maybe in time, sure am hoping, that Mally will make a refill for this one to fit into the compact, hoping anyway.

Both are buildable but if I were to use too much of the new BE bareskin, yes, that will show up dry patches so I go easy with that one but do like it as well. I use 3 drops of the new BE bareskin which is perfect for me.

so, all in all, I really love this new Mally liquid foundation in the compact using a brush, either the tiny one that comes with it or a Real Techniques expert face brush which is my preference, Ulta is where I got mine.

You should probably get to your nearest Sephora and pick 3 or 4 foundations and ask for them to make samples. It's a wonderful service, they always give you plenty to try at least twice.

I couldn't have said it better myself! Sample first, buy second!

this is what I had to do with the new BE bareskin, go to Ulta or I for sure would have ordered bare linen which isn't for me at all once trying shades at Ulta. The sales clerk said either bare shell and second bare natural would be my best color after trying several on my jaw line, back or my hands and the back of both wrists. Bare linen looked really bad on me, made me look jaundiced, not a nice look but bare shell is perfect in BE and Light is perfect for me in this newer Mally liquid foundation in the compact.

For the Mally I just took a chance and ordered both Light and Medium since it was a TSV and I didn't have time to go and check out colors, had to send the medium back but light is perfect for me thank goodness since I do love it.

Gerri, I purchased Mally's last TSV with her new liquid foundation. This is the best kit I've ever bought. This foundation is superior for mature skin. It's true that is has time released moisture and stays looking good all day. I got the medium, which I usually get, and it was perfect for me. It's got good coverage but does not look heavy or cakey. It's really fresh looking and a gift to mature skins.

Everything in this kit was great and what a buy! I wear it all now: brightener, eyeliner, lipstick, cream shadow, mascara, beautiful brush and even a pencil sharpener to go with it, and all for $59.00!!! Now that Mally sees how popular this sold out kit and her new foundation was, you won't see another kit like this.

Yes, her foundation is worth it!

best foundation I have ever used-one of the best-I should say-covers without using a lot-does not get stuck in pores like the new bare minerals one and leaves skin looking virtually flawless...........

I've come to really like it. Very smooth finish and no caking. But I need a shade in between light and medium. I'd like to change my A/D to medium but no-go. So I may cancel entirely (the rest of the kit is only so-so and I hear they are not changing out the colors.) The foundation is available on its own. My other issue is...you can't tell when it's used up very easily!

We have to be responsible consumers too! Mally has a new color in mousse that is the only foundation that ever in all my 60 plus years matches my skin perfectly. She took a financial risk in doing it . Not one of the other Q makeup manufacturers have ever taken such a bold step so many have turned away from the q entirely. Mally's mousse clearly says it's a moisturizer yet her critics are giving it poor ratings because it leaves their skin feeling moist. Buy a dry powder or alcohol based foundation then but please don't give the Q an excuse for taking away the only foundation I can use . I haven't found, through all the hype and empty promises , a moisturizer that doesn't make me shiny. I can stop searching now because I can use Mally's mouse when I'm going out and who cares if I shine at home alone? And her Poreless is fabulous and absolutely matte! Please , let's encourage her for adding new shades to her foundations, PTR, LG, IT among a few others , added tones that are atrocious , simply off color deep tans. BE shines like metal from the toxic waste disposal plant, most turn green like vert iron. They started a company branch in Europe to make deep shades that don't have a metallic glare. Why won't they bring that line to US? Maybe because they were sold to people to whom this is not profitable? Is there anything we can count on anymore? Everybody with integrity is selling and abandoning us to money grubbing, animal product users and known mass production driven companies. Please don't run Mally off too? They say no good deed goes unpunished but do we have to be the devil's minions and destroy her too?

It may be true that you can't please all the people all the time but why is it Mally can't please anybody? She has a mousse that IS a moisturizer and a full coverage makeup. It is the only makeup on all of QVC that matches my Oprah colored skin perfectly. She clearly describes it as a moisturizer and the first thing she hears from the reviewers is that they didn't like the feeling, it's moist.

The next one, I think , complained that it isn't a mouse but comes out in bubbles. Well, it you shake it like you would whipped cream in the same type of dispenser you'll find the lightest, fluffiest mousse you could ever want. Perhaps that's the reason the other reviewer didn't like the texture, the moist feel? Did she get a blended product or the moisturizer on top, leaving heavier pigmented matte product in the bottom?

I am in my early 60s too and not only do I have dry patches, I get eczema patches from the least irritation, like blowing my nose during allergy seasons or common cold. I can tell you that this mousse is smooth, silky, not greasy, but never dry, cake or pasty. It lasts all day without retouching, It lasted through tears and laughter, running thru oncoming thunderstorm. It did not change color. With deep shades from other companies you're guaranteed grey, ashy mess or neon orange as your own oils mix with the poorly milled foundation. And forget Bare Minerals. Theypre metallic like iron or old pipes from the dump, ugly green metal. They changed the composition and shades of their foundation for their European customers but didn't think to bring it to US.

Not only did Mally add a shade for me, I've read customers who are between tan and medium or white and pale and she's added shades for them too. Pretty soon she'll have as many choices as LANCOME and her formulations are far superior. I can testify to that one personally.

I'd been looking for a daytime moisturizer that didn't leave me shiny. I've looked for one without the sunscreen (that turns white on dark skin- its the zinc most often). Mally solved that problem and gave me a foundation and non shiny moisturizer all in one. People of lesser color have had this luxury for some time. This is the first one for me. And this is the second foundation she's added shades to in the last few months. I wish somebody would make an eyelid primer that isn't metallic grey/white. All that's out there in color is tan. and dark tan. and those are rare.

I wish just once, the reviewers would consider that their nasty comments affect the future of the product and manufacturer. If ten minutes on Q can make Jamie a millionaire, it should be clear that there are far reaching consequences to our reactions. And it would benefit us all to properly direct our hostility and not use these forums to hack away at someone, anyone, who didn't evoke it.

I'd like to be able to continue to purchase my Mally products. I hope the viewers will think first, hold their tongues if nothing good is going to come off of them, and let those of us who need the products have them. How does everybody feel about no more Grace, Amazing and others? Stacy's on HSN, rollers and all. Ojon is just gone. Maybe some of you remember Yves Rocher? where's Smashbox, Tarte?
