Shine-Busting Beauty: Alison Raffaele Giveaway at MBB
May 15, 2008
Author: Jen Hill | Filed under: Acne, Alison Raffaele, Cosmetics, Oily Skin, Primers, Skincare Solutions
Summer is around the bend, and summer brings the heat, humidity, and the blazing sunshine. Unfortunately for oily-skinned gals, the summer heat helps create another type of shine, the skin shine that causes our makeup to slip and slide off within a few hours.
Alison Raffaele Cosmetics has come up with a fantastic set of products to offset the slippery effects of the summer skin oil slick.

Introducing Alison Raffaele’s “Shine Buster” set:
Face Forward Primer Acne Response ($44)
Alison’s Face Forward Primer is one of my favorite rave about products and was reviewed on St Patrick’s Day as a great way to go green. A little bit goes a long way. This primer not only makes my skin feel like velvet; it helps my foundation glide on beautifully, and it provides an spf 15.

- Foundation primer + acne treatment + SPF 15
- Contains proprietary, time-released (12+ hours)
- 100% paraben, talc, oil, gluten and fragrance free
- Natural mineral-based sunscreen SPF 15 provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection
- Dermatologist Tested and Approved
Alison Raffaele Blotting Tissues ($9)

Unbleached and powder-free, these super-absorbent paper tissues remove excess oil and perspiration from the skin without disturbing makeup.
Transparent Finish To Go ($42)

- New cornstarch-based formula is talc and paraben free for your healthiest skin ever
- Although powder appears white in jar, Transparent Finish is completely clear on ALL skintones, from fairest to deepest
- Suitable for ALL skin types – will not build up or oxidize on oily skins and will not collect in the fine lines of more mature skins
- Ultra lightweight formula feels clean and comfortable on the skin
- Perfect for setting all liquid and cream cosmetics
- Will not change the color of other cosmetics
- Banishes shine and provides a natural matte finish
- May be reapplied as necessary
- 100% paraben, talc, oil, gluten and fragrance free, Dermatologist Tested and Approved
Now that I have your interest, Alison Raffaele is awarding this exclusive “Summer Shine Buster Set” to three lucky winners at Mythbuster Beauty! Isn’t that incredible?!
