Mally Shimmer, Shape & Glow (Blush, Highlighter, Contour), Review & Swatches of Shades,

Mally Shimmer Shape & Glow Palette

Price: $49.50 w/brushes from Mally's Website

$40 w/out brushes from Ulta 

CRUELTY FREE!!

Ulta's Description:

Create Mally's signature "superstar glow" in three easy steps using this powder trio. First, the shimmer powder lifts and illuminates the cheekbones giving you the bone structure that you have always dreamed of. Second, the shaping powder softly contours making you look like you lost five pounds. Lastly, the glow powder gives you a soft, warm look like you had a beautifully romantic evening. 

Times must be changing. While the wording is tasteful, I don't know that basically claiming this will give you the "just laid look" is the best approach for what I always assumed was the typical QVC shopper, but this could just be my gutter mind.

So will Mally's Shimmer Shape & Glow palette really do that much for your complexion? Keep reading!
