Beauty, Skincare, and a bit of Lifestyle

[Read more…]
While I love a variety of brands and I’m one of those girls who uses about 50 different brands when doing my makeup (anyone else do that? Anyone? I can’t be the only one!), It Cosmetics is one of those brands that stands out, in my mind, as having a lot of great products that I’ve loved over the years.
Yes, I’ve experienced a few duds (a review on one is coming soon, btw) — every brand does, more or less, but their outstanding products far outweigh the bad. And I love that, while they are high-end, they’re always featuring new products on QVC and offering it for an amazingly low price.
And that’s the news I’m excited to share with you today! They’re currently on QVC’s website as their featured Today’s Special Value —- and the best part is that all the products in this collection are brand new, never before seen!! 😀
I’ve shared a few QVC‘s Today’s Special Value with you in the past — once featuring It Cosmetic‘s CC Your Way to Beautiful Skin and then another time featuring their IT’s All About You collection. Today I have yet another wonderful collection by It Cosmetic’s that will be featured on QVC’s Today’s Special Value TOMORROW, October 14th, starting at midnight!
If you’re not familiar with how QVC works, each day they decided on one item to feature as a “Today’s Special Value”. These items are offered at an exceptionally low price beginning midnight (ET) until 11:59 PM (PT) that day.

It comes paired with the No-Tug Gel Eyeliner to give your eyes the attention they deserve.

This was the first time I was able to receive the collection before the collection went live on QVC, so I’m really excited to share with you my own pictures and initial first impressions of the products! Let’s take a look!
The collection comes safely packaged in this box, complete with an informational booklet on each product and a few samples of other It Cosmetic products.
This foundation provides full coverage and illumination to your skin. Infused with peptides, hydrolyzed collagen, antioxidants and skin-loving ingredients to nourish your skin and to help skin appear younger-looking, Celebration Foundation Illumination will never crease or crack and is also infused with Drops of Light Technology®.
My First Impressions: I own another It Cosmetics powder foundation that I really love, so I am pretty confident that I will love this one as well. It’s so buttery soft and swatched very pigmented and creamy on my finger. The brush that it comes with seems a little useless, but I am sure I’ll find some other use for it in my makeup routine. 🙂
This brand new mascara helps you achieve the look of false lashes. This five-in-one, clinically proven 24-hour wear mascara features the blackest black melted nylon fibers infused into our volumizing and lash-loving Hello Lashes Mascara to help you achieve long, thick and dramatic lashes in one quick coat application! Infused with lash-enhancing and conditioning ingredients, including vitamin B5, peptides, collagen, proteins and green tea.
My First Impressions: I haven’t tried this on my lashes yet, so it’s really hard to give you a first impression. But I can tell you that the wand looks very promising — I like that the end of the wand is feathered out, instead of just cut blunt. This means I’ll be able to get the inside corner of my lashes really well, which is something I like to do. The formula appears to be very black and very wet, so definitely promising.
It Cosmetic’s brand new blush is the perfect balance of color and luminosity, blending from matte to pearlized radiance – it’s a blush and highlighter in one compact. Formulated to minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines, this anti-aging, color correcting formula in the perfect pink shade of Je Ne Sais Quoi® is beautiful on all skin tones.
My First Impressions: I love the idea of a pearly highlighter and matte blush in one compact. I admit I’m a little skeptical of how this will work over a longer period of time — not sure if the two will become mixed together. But I plan to be careful and take advantage of this matte blush. I love matte blushes!
This gel liner is clinically proven to remain waterproof for up to 12 hours without tugging the delicate eyelids. Highly pigmented and anti-aging in both
its application and its ingredients, this eyeliner is formulated with skin-loving hydrolyzed collagen, silk, rose and antioxidants.
My First Impressions: I like the color that they give you in this collection — it’s a brown/black. So I can use it for those days that I don’t want a deep, dark black, but I do want something with more pigmentation then a brown. I swatched it on my arm, and it hasn’t budget a bit. I’ve rubbed it multiple times, to see if it will smear or fad, and it’s held up really well.
This brush features dual fiber brush hairs that flawlessly work to blend foundation onto your skin and help blur away imperfections. You don’t need to be an expert – IT does the work for you!
This brush is super soft and, because it has different length bristles, it almost feels feather-light when you brush it over your skin. I can totally see how this would give you an ‘airbrushed’ appearance. Not sure if you would be able to get a full-coverage application, but I think it will be perfect for those every-day makeup looks. 🙂

— Your Skin But Better CC+™ Cream with SPF 50+ (supersize!)

QVC will be selling it for only $58.98 — which is insanely low for all these high-quality products!

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.
