My Review…


First Impressions & Packaging…
Looking at It Cosmetics’ CC Cream on the website, I didn’t realize how much product actually comes in this tube. There’s just a little under 2 ounces of product — almost double how much product typically comes in foundation bottles. I love that this tube has a pump on it! It ensures that no bacteria can get in and contaminate the rest of the product. And, all around, it just makes it easier and cleaner to dispense the product onto my hand or brush.


Product & Application…
The product itself has a very thick and creamy consistency. I’ve handled a few CC creams from the drugstore before, and I know none of them had the thickness and opaqueness of this product! And it’s not just opaque in appearance — It Cosmetic’s CC Cream has amazing coverage! I was very, very surprised by how well this covers my acne and redness. Even more than some of my drugstore foundations ever have! Which is awesome, considering that this is better for your skin than typical foundation. It’s a total win-win! 🙂

Application is awesome! I’ve applied it with a brush, sponge, and my fingerss — and with each method it blends almost flawlessly into my skin. I personally tend to prefer using my fingers, as I feel the warmth from my hands really helps it melt into my skin. When the CC Cream sets, it has a very dewy finish. It’s not straight-up shiny, but it does give the skin a very healthy glow. I typically set this with a light powder on top, to cut away some of the shine. But, in recent days (with my move to dryer climates), I haven’t been using the powder as much and have really been appreciating the glow and moisturize it gives my skin.

As far as how long this CC Cream lasts once on your face, I’ve put it to the test both with and without primer. And both times it has held up very, very well. With primer, it stays more fresh-looking for longer, but even without primer it will last the majority of the day. For example, I put it on in the morning (without primer) and it will look great all day, though I will usually touch up a few acne-areas right before my husband comes home. Just to ensure everything stays covered.

Major Likes & Dislikes…
There are a LOT of things I like about It Cosmetics’ CC Cream! I think I’ve already touched on them all above — consistency, blend-ability, longevity. While the price may seem rather expensive at $38, it’s actually not a horrible price considering that it has double the product of most drugstore foundations (which can range between $10-$15). And this is definitely a very high-quality product, so you are definitely getting your money’s worth out of this! As for dislikes…there is nothing I can think of! I’ve been using it for about 3 or 4 months, and haven’t come across any cons. Which is pretty awesome!

Final Thoughts…
If you haven’t been able to tell yet…I totally love this product! For being just a CC cream, this has amazing coverage! Depending on how bad my acne is flaring up, sometimes I doesn’t even have to both with concealer. That’s pretty awesome, in my eyes! 🙂 All around, I highly recommend you try out It Cosmetics’ “Your Skin But Better” CC Cream! Once it sets, it doesn’t even feel like you are wearing anything on your skin. Whatever It Cosmetics’ did to this product…they did it right and have a BIG fan (me!). 🙂

 I was sent the product mentioned above for free from It Cosmetics’ in order to review. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use
personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Question for my Readers: Do you have a tried-and-true CC or BB cream that you love to use on the days you don’t want to pack on the foundation? Share your favorites with me in the comments below. 🙂

Today I’m really excited to be partnering with It Cosmetics to bring my readers some great news — especially if you are a QVC kind of girl! 😉

First off, for those who aren’t familiar with this brand, It Cosmetics is  makeup company all about “…High Performance, Skin Loving, Problem Solutions!” The founder of this brand, Jamie Kern, suffers from Rosacea, Hyperpigmentation, and all around problematic skin. She works with a team of plastic surgeons to create her innovative, high performance makeup products that focus on helping women solve their beauty problems.

So, the excited news! It Cosmetics is going to be on QVC today!

CC Your Way to Beautiful Skin!

Collection available at a special price for one day only!

That’s right! This great collection by It Cosmetics is schedule to be offered on QVC as the ‘Today’s Special Value” on Monday, March 10, 2014! TODAY!!!! 😀

(For those who aren’t aware, QVC’s Today’s Special Value is when they offer one time each day that is available at an exceptionally low price and only valid from midnight until 2:59AM ET the following day…or while supplies last! 🙂

So what does the It Cosmetics collection contain?? It includes…

— CC+™ Lip Serum Hydrating Anti-Aging Color Correcting Crème Gloss
— Tightline™ Waterproof Mascara Primer
— Your Skin But Better CC+™ Cream with SPF 50+ (supersize!)
— Heavenly Luxe® Plush Paddle Foundation Brush

If you purchased every product on it’s own, it would add up to about $130 (some products are new and I couldn’t find the set price yet). QVC will be selling it for only $58.98 — which is insanely low for all these high-quality products! If you do some quick math and rounding, by purchasing this on the Today’s Special Value, you’re saving $70!! Which is an excellent deal for high end makeup!

They even give you a suggestion on how to use all these products in your daily skin-and-beauty-care!

First, start your routine off right with Your Skin But Better CC+ ™ Cream with SPF 50+. Using the Heavenly Luxe™ Plush Paddle Foundation Brush, apply a smooth, even layer to clean skin or on top of moisturizer. This CC Cream combines several products in one step, including SPF 50+ UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum, Physical Only, Non-Chemical Sunscreen.  This is the SUPERSIZE Your Skin But Better CC+ ™ Cream with SPF 50+; at 2.53 FL oz, it more than twice the size of the original CC+ Cream!  Be sure to blend this multi-tasking cream all over the face, neck and décolleté to provide the look of an even, hydrating, luminous finish.

Next, prep and prime the eyelashes with a waterproof mascara primer that lasts 12 hours! Lightly and gently press theTightline™ Waterproof Mascara Primer wand along the root of the lash line to fill in the gaps between the lashes to achieve the look of full volume and definition. Move along the entire upper lash line for a beautiful and natural liner effect for lashes that appear longer and fuller.Lastly, finish off your look with hydrating vitality! Glide ultra-conditioning CC+™ Lip Serum Hydrating Anti-Aging Color Correcting Crème Gloss in the Love shade over the lips for instant color correction and a lip tone that appears even. It can be worn day or night for improved hydration and a pretty flush of color that lasts!

Again, the It Cosmetics’ “CC Your Way to Beautiful Skin” 4-piece collection will be available for only $58.98, while supplies last, for only ONE DAY on QVC! You can also get this deal on the QVC apps and at QVC.com anytime today — until they’re gone! 

So if you’re a fan of It Cosmetics or are curious about their products, I’d encourage you to take advantage of this deal! I was hoping to get my collection in time to review it for you on here today. But I have used a few It Cosmetics products and handled some of their brushes — and they’re all very luxurious and excellent quality. 
If I do receive my products before the day is out, I’ll get back on here and update this post with my first impressions of the product — so be checking back here in the late afternoon to see if I have any news for you. 
But QVC is pretty popular so these products might go really fast…so…
If you want them, go get ’em now! 🙂
