FO: Your website Pucker and Pout dishes on your favorite fashion and beauty secrets. What inspired you to start blogging?

KM: Pucker And Pout really is my beauty and fashion diary. My friend Jennifer and I run the site together and everything we post about is secrets and techniques I use in a daily basis. I wanted a fun creative outlet to share with all walks of life and have really enjoyed the process!

FO: Have you learned anything from Lisa Vanderpump?

KM: I think anyone that has laid eyes on LVP agrees that she is a beautiful woman. She always looks amazingly put together. I haven't asked her to share her beauty secrets but think I really should! I have learned from her other lessons mostly pertaining to my own self worth and respect, which has been valuable.

FO: What are your must have beauty products right now?

KM: I always have to have good moisturizer. I love Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream. I think having a great mascara is key, I love Benefits They're Real Mascara and I'm obsessed with my Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Palette.

FO: What is the latest with you and Tom Schwartz?

KM: We are better than ever. I know that the 6 months ultimatum has come and gone but what has happened in that time has made me realize that we still had some work to do but I am confident more than ever in our relationship and for the first time in a long time feel like we are both in the same page headed in the right direction.

FO: Are there any secrets about the rest of the cast of Vanderpump Rules that you can spill?

KM: At the moment if there are secrets they are still a secret from me.

Katie Maloney is a force to be reckoned with on Bravo’s hit reality series Vanderpump Rules, a spinoff of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Maloney’s romantic relationship with castmate Tom Schwartz is in the spotlight this season, but we not only catch up with her about that but her beauty and lifestyle blog Pucker & Pout.
