We had a great response last month when we shared our first “Behind the Scenes Style” post so we wanted to do it again.  Because our Spring line is all about being pretty we asked Shannon for makeup tips  that would do just that. Is it any wonder that her answer to pretty is pink cheeks and lips?! Of course not! And we were thrilled when Ford Artists offered to do a giveaway of Shannon’s suggested products to our readers! (winning these is a sure-fire way to get the look!)  So we are giving away 2 sets of the following items:

Benefit Posietint Poppy-pink tinted lip & cheek stain- $29.00 value
Benefit Coralista Cheek powder- $28.00 value
Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Pink Petal- $19.00 value
Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Melondrama- $19.00 value
Smashbox Face & Cheek Brush #2- $48.00 value
Smashbox Retractable Lip Brush #18- $24.00 value
Approximate retail value of entire prize pack- $167.00

Enter to win by leaving a comment about which of these beauty products you’d most like to try.  (or if you’re already a fan of these products, which ones you can’t live without!)  2 random winners will be chosen next Tuesday at 3:00pm ET from the comments below & notified via e-mail.

Get the look, get these products and get pretty!!

Behind the Scenes Style

Just like Lilly, our Lilly Lovers loooove the details – and not just Lilly details – every detail. Questions like “what shade of lipstick does your model have on in the picture of the Whinnie dress?” or “what color nail polish is the model wearing in this catalog shot?” come up all the time. Questions like this inspired us to partner with our on-shoot stylists from Ford Artists to create a series here on the blog about how you can get the looks we’re featuring.

All of our tips are from Shannon Grey Williams, a Lilly girl herself (she panicked when she realized her headshot featured her in black! *gasp*), who loves working on the Lilly set creating fun, happy and pretty styling for our models.  She’ll be providing the step-by-step on how to get these looks yourself all the way down to WHAT products she uses for styling. This week she’s sharing her know-how on creating the fishtail braid- an adorable look she used on Elsa here!  We hope you enjoy this new series and stay tuned next month to get our next look!
