[Press sample. But I would’ve bought it myself anyway!]
Today, March 27th, 2015, for one day only, the QVC Today’s Special Value is this gorgeous five-piece collection from IT Cosmetics. The IT Cosmetics CC+ Your Way To Radiant Skin is everything you could hope for in a makeup kit and more. I’ve sung the praises of IT Cosmetics many, many times in the past and they just keep getting more innovative as time goes on. Honestly, this set is worth it just for the brushes alone and that is coming from a makeup professional who owns far too many brushes! Their Heavenly Luxe Makeup Brushes are my favorite brushes to ever exist in the entire beauty industry, so this kit is perfection as far as I’m concerned. I’ve got full swatches, my reviews, and some pictorial demonstrations using the products!
The IT Cosmetics CC+ Your Way To Radiant Skin Five-Piece Collection contains:
- 1.08-fl oz CC+ Cream Illumination in Fair, Light, Medium, Tan, or Rich
- 0.78-oz Vitality Face Disc
- 0.10-oz Eye Shadow Trio in Pretty In Spring including Fresh, a cream shade; Blissful, pale rose shade; and Serene, a rich toffee shade
- Heavenly Luxe Radiance Wand Brush
- Heavenly Luxe No Tug Dual Eye Shadow Brush
Whether you’re a big makeup lover or you simply want quality products that will make your skin feel and look good, this set gives you pretty much a taste of the best products from IT Cosmetics. I use IT Cosmetics on the regular and I’ve been a fan for years now. My love for them keeps getting stronger as they expand their line and keep coming up with super innovative, modern products that multi-task.
THE PRODUCTS IN THE SET:
Vitality Face Disc // This is, hands down, the largest face palette in my collection (it covers most of my face!). You get tons of product and you will never run out. The trio contains the Anti-Aging Matte Bronzer, Hello Light Luminizer, and Vitality Brightening Blush Stain in Love. The matte bronzer is ideal for contouring your face and adding color to your complexion. It looks incredibly sophisticated and all ages will love it because it is matte. The luminizer is very comparable to high-end highlighters and looks gorgeous anywhere you apply it. The blush is very universally flattering on all skin tones, being a peachy-pink shimmer that is extremely pigmented.
Pretty in Spring Eye Shadow Trio // This trio of eyeshadow shades contains the IT Cosmetics anti-aging formula and the shades are perfect for both everyday and special occasions. Each eyeshadow is super soft, pigmented, and blends smoothly. This is the ultimate in neutral eyeshadow right here. If you don’t usually wear eyeshadow or you prefer a natural look you’ll love this. At the same time, you can easily use that toffee brown shade to create a gorgeous smokey eye.
CC+ Cream Illumination // When you order your set, you can choose what shade best suits your skin tone (shade shown is “Medium”). This was my first time working with this product and I have to say that I am in L-O-V-E. It contains SPF 50+ UVA/UVB sunscreen that helps protect against rays and it has luminous pigments in it that leave behind a hydrated, dewy, youthful looking finish. But the best part of this product? It actually covers your imperfections. I have used so many BB creams and CC creams, all of them leaving me disappointed in their sheer coverage. This one has medium to full coverage without feeling heavy or cakey on the skin. You can see in the photo above the before and after of my skin when using this product. The results are tremendous with just TWO pumps of product and it makes my skin look so much more even and glowing. This will be my new spring and summer face product!
Heavenly Luxe Radiance Wand Brush // The first time I felt the Heavenly Luxe brush line in Ulta Beauty, I almost fell over. These are the softest, most lush brushes you will ever touch or use. I would throw out all of my other makeup brushes for these alone. No exaggeration. They are so effective at blending your makeup and feel like a pampering session when you use them on your face because they are so soft. This brush is perfect for highlighting, contouring, and bronzing your face. As I said in the beginning, I would buy this set for the brushes alone.
Heavenly Luxe No Tug Dual Eye Shadow Brush // More brush perfection! This one is, of course, soft as a baby’s bottom and blends eyeshadow so well. I love that it’s dual-sided so you can just flip that baby over instead of reaching for another brush. The larger end of the brush is perfect for applying eyeshadow to the lid, but it also can be used as a crease brush because it’s fluffy and soft enough to blend out eyeshadow in that area. The other end has a short, stiff, dense, flat brush for applying product like eyeliner. These brushes are absolute perfection.
USING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS SET:
I used the Vitality Face Disc to contour my cheekbones after applying the CC+ Cream Illumination. I love the matte finish for contouring and it also adds a bit of color to my skin without looking overdone.
I used the blush from the Vitality Face Disc, and then applied the highlighting shade from it using the Heavenly Luxe Radiance Wand Brush. This brush. Do you see how perfect it is for getting into the cheekbone area? It’s so soft and supple. It feels so nice on your skin and look at that cheekbone highlight! It lights up both on camera and in person.
For the eye makeup, I used the Heavenly Luxe No Tug Dual Eye Shadow Brush to apply everything, from the crease and socket to the brow-bone to the eyelid. It works fantastically as a multi-purpose eyeshadow brush. I applied the Pretty in Spring Eye Shadow Trio to my eyelids using the chocolate brown shade in the crease of my eye, the rose shade all over my eyelids, and the shimmering cream shade in the corners of my eyes.
THE FINISHED LOOK USING THIS SET:
I will forever love IT Cosmetics because their products just make my skin GLOW like none other. They make me look youthful, radiant, and healthy. This set is a major steal and if it was not sent to me for review, I’d have already purchased it for my own collection.
The IT Cosmetics CC+ Your Way To Radiant Skin is QVC’s Today’s Special Value for one day only: March 27th, 2015. Each five-piece set retails for $59.96USD, making this a major beauty bargain since each piece sold separately would retail for $172.00USD. Purchase this set on QVC here.
Even if you’re reading this past the day QVC has this on special, please check out the IT Cosmetics website. You can purchase each product separately, as well. I am always highly recommending IT Cosmetics to people because the quality is just that great.
