I’ve had the pleasure of doing Alison’s makeup several times and for this look, here’s what I used:

Complexion: Temptu s/b Foundation in 004, Temptu bronzer, Too Faced bronzer to set,  Tarte Fearless stain blush,  Lancome Effacernes Concealer in Light Bisque, Contour by Maskcara in Shadow.

Eyes: Urban Decay Anti-Aging Eyeshadow Primer, MAC Eyeshadows in Ricepaper, Saddle, and Bronze, Lancome Le Stylo eyeliner in Noir on inner rim and, Lancome Artliner in Noir on top. Hypnose Mascara, and Lancome Brow Pencil in Taupe.

Lips: Lancome Color Design Lipstick in Love it!, Bobbi Brown Crystal gloss

I also used  Tweezerman slant tweezers (love these! And this is a good deal for them.)

Alison is not just a pretty face, she’s an awesome business person too. She’s a founder of How Does She , a successful blog and is currently in the running to be on the cover of Costco magazine. She also started Pick Your Plum, a site that sells things for a super good deal.

Speaking of good deals, I know sometimes makeup can add up cost-wise. One of the best ways to get a “deal” on luxury cosmetics is to buy when there’s a free gift (which typically is loaded with super useful things like mascara, eyeshadows, lipcolor and skincare.) If you’re in the Salt Lake City area you can swing by the Lancome counter at Nordstrom Fashion Place in Murray to get your free gift with any $42.50 purchase. And if you mention my name, you’ll be entered to win a basket filled with Lancome product. AMAZING! If you’re a frequent reader of my blog you know that I often use Lancome products and love them.

You can pre-sell with them now, which means they will hold your product for you to make sure it’s not sold out when the gift comes (you can go in or call 801-261-4402.) Or the gift will be in store from July 9th-16th. Don’t forget to make sure you’re entered to win the free basket of Lancome!
