New QVC TSV Installment -- Mally Easy on the Eyes #2

It seems like just yesterday that I received the Mally Easy on the Eyes TSV from QVC, but the second installment already showed up last week -- and I think I might actually like it better than the first kit.

The AD collection contains six items:

• Mally Citychick Celebration Shadow Palette
• Mally Perfect Prep Under Eye Brightner
• Mally Volumizing Mascara in Black
• (3) Mally Evercolor Starlight Waterproof Liners in Steele, Enchanted Violet & Sailor 

It also comes with a small pencil sharpener for the eyeliners. 

Product Alert -- Mally Easy on the Eyes TSV from QVC

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you probably realize that I am a total sucker for QVC's beauty TSVs.

They're just such good values and can be a really great way to try a brand that you're not familiar with.

However, in all the years that I've been purchasing TSVs -- and it's been at least 10 now -- I have never purchased a Mally Beauty collection.

I've tried a couple of Mally's products over the years -- lipglosses, eye shadow sticks, eye liners, and mascara -- but I guess none of her previous TSVs really caught my eye.

However, when I saw that her upcoming collection scheduled to air on QVC on July 5th contained an eye shadow palette, I was pretty much sold.

Mally Beauty Goodies

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that I'm a full-blown QVC addict.

Well, at least when it comes to their beauty product offerings.

I am a sucker for pretty much any beauty-related TSV.  I just can't help myself - they're always such an amazing deal.

But despite my weakness for QVC beauty items, I had never tried any products from Mally Beauty, the cosmetics line founded by celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal.
