a role on the set of ‘The White Lotus’ Season 2. Can you tell us more about the journey of Vie En Rose and its involvement in the entertainment industry? Malea: I am so lucky that the head of the makeup department for The White Lotus, Rebecca Hickey, is a die-hard Vie En Rose fan. She is always fully stocked with my products. She’s amazing because her main focus on her celebrity clients is focusing on the skin. She has been using my Mile High Ultra-Hydrating Mist as a makeup primer, setting spray, and makeup refresher between takes, on her incredible actors since season 1. I can’t wait to have my own White Lotus in Thailand for season 3... My mist is a celeb makeup artist’s dream and let’s be real, celebs can get anything for free and the best of the best. It’s a huge compliment that I actually have real “pinch me” customers. Vie En Rose is an extension of me. It’s my baby. The entertainment industry has played a large role in my life and evolution to get to this place. The entertainment industry isn’t for the weak or faint of heart, you gotta grow some tough and rough skin, I prefer mine hydrated and dewy. But there is so much crossover because I put everything I knew/know into Vie En Rose and so much of what that is, is to connect with others. To make people feel things. I believe how we feel is how we look. You wouldn’t believe the amount of insecurity the most beautiful A-list actresses have. I am grateful for the tenacity that business taught me. It taught me how important lawyers and contracts are, how to be polite when your time is being wasted, and how to smile when I need to be political. Vie En Rose is still alive and growing because Hollywood made me the tough, insightful, unsinkable, strong woman I am. It also taught me how to take a really really hard punch - and get back up fiercer than before - metaphorically. ML: Your newest product, Vie En Rose Ash and Smoke Creamy Charcoal Cleanser, seems like a game-changer for skincare routines. Could you explain the science behind this product and how it benefits the skin? Malea: My new Ash + Smoke Creamy Charcoal cleanser is revolutionary! It is literally a pore eraser. When choosing my next product to launch, I asked everyone their top 3 skin issues, and everyone said “pores.” The problem with most deep detoxifying cleansers is they strip the skin of its good healthy oils, along with the dirt and bad oils. My skin is way too dry and sensitive for that treatment and I always would gear towards creamy cleansers, however sometimes having to wash twice, but I never felt super clean. Ash + Smoke was formulated as the perfect cleanser. Jammed with activated charcoal which goes deep into the pores and detoxifies deep within the skin, removing dirt, oil, debris, and waterproof makeup! It is gentle enough to use on the eyes. I also filled the cleanser with rose stem cells with high anti-aging and collagen boosting qualities. 30 botanicals to cleanse, hydrate, replenish, soften, lightly exfoliate dead skin cells, coconut water for hydration, organic aloe for soothing, rosewater, hyaluronic acid- sooo many hydrating goodies. It is the only cleanser you’ll never cheat on. I’ve been using it religiously for the past 2 years. It was my 1st formulation I signed off on because it was perfect. It leaves your skin radiant, soothed, dewy, and extra clean! plus it smells divine, and I love the creamy charcoal grey natural-color. I also got to launch it exclusively through Fab Fit Fun which was such a wonderful experience! Now it’s available exclusively online at vieenrose.com. ML: Vie En Rose incorporates unique ingredients like CBD and Cannarose. What led you to select these ingredients, and how do they contribute to the effectiveness of your skincare line? Malea: Being a total ingredient nerd, I went on a quest for the most soothing, healing ingredients to
