I can honestly say that I use IT Cosmetics on a regular basis and I’m a huge fan of their products. You’ll find many, many features of this brand throughout the years here on Beauty Gala, as I just think their products deliver results as they say they will. Also, their makeup brushes are divine and definitely some of my most-used brushes in my collection.
KIT PRODUCT BREAKDOWN (all shades are “Medium”):
The CC+ Color Correcting Full Coverage Cream Compact is a very modern, innovative product. I haven’t actually seen anything quite like it before, and I’ve been using makeup products galore for years and years. As the freshness sticker says, a little goes a very long way. I was impressed by how much coverage this product gives. Most CC (and BB) creams give you very sheer coverage, which isn’t always helpful if you’ve got redness or imperfections to cover up. You simply press the little button on the bottom of the compact, and a small amount of product comes through a tiny hole, as you see above. I pressed my button twice, and I actually ended up having product leftover in the compact. It’s THAT full coverage. What I like the most about this product though is how great it makes your skin look. Though full coverage, it feels insanely moisturizing and glides over your skin with ease. I used the angled brush that came in this kit and it was perfect for buffing the product into my skin. It leaves a dewy, luminous finish that looks incredibly natural. The SPF50 is also a huge bonus.
The CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder is a pressed powder that can be buffed into the skin after you apply your CC cream or even used on bare skin. Again, I was impressed with how little product you needed in order to achieve really great coverage. You can build this product up to be very heavy, or simply tap your brush into it once and lightly press it into your skin. I used it mainly in the area’s of my face that I know get oily, like my t-zone, as well as underneath my eye area to prevent my concealer from creasing. This gives you a “Photoshop” blurring effect to the skin without feeling heavy or looking heavy on the skin. Out of all the products in this set, this one is my favorite for how well it performed.
The CC+ Eye Full Coverage Cream has a “cold spoon technology” to it. The applicator fits the contour of your under-eye area and is made of metal, so it always feels cool to the touch. It feels very nourishing and helps with puffiness. Like all the other products in this set, this is very full-coverage, so a little goes a long way. This helps conceal those under-eye circles really well and the cooling metal applicator just feels so good in the early morning.
The CC+ Angled Buffing Foundation Brush is so versatile and is honestly a spectacular makeup brush. I use so many IT Cosmetics’ makeup brushes on a daily basis because they are high quality and blend products really well. This one has a holographic silver handle (like the rest of the packaging in the kit) and has an angled brush head. It’s great for blending foundation, concealer, contouring your cheekbones, or even adding highlighter to your cheekbones. There really isn’t anything this brush can’t do for your face products. The brush is ultra soft and plush and does a fantastic job at buffing products into your skin to give you a natural, blended look.
The CC Lipstick in Love is another product a lot of people are going to fall in love with. The “blurred lines lipstick,” as they call it, really turns back time on your lips. It moisturizes, hydrates, plumps, and fills in fine lines. I definitely feel like my lips look larger and younger when wearing this lipstick. I also adore the color because it’s sheer but still adds enough color to be noticeable. It’s a “your-lips-but-better” shade.
BEFORE/AFTER COMPARISONS:
Before: I have absolutely no makeup on in this photo whatsoever and it has not been retouched in any way. You can see I have some redness to my skin and some small spots I like to cover up.
After: I used every single product in this kit (and only products in this kit) and this is the result. My skin looks dewy, luminous, and yet natural. I mean, look how natural my skin looks! My complexion no longer looks red and uneven, and all small spots are covered. My skin is even, smooth, and gives me a much more desirable canvas to work with for bronzer, blush, and highlighter. Also, the lipstick is the perfect natural shade to wear on an everyday basis.
Overall, as usual, I am impressed with this IT Cosmetics kit. My skin still looks like skin and not caked-on foundation. The luminous, healthy glow makes me look younger and more awake. I’ve left these products out on my vanity and I’ve been using them every single day since I received them!
The IT Cosmetics Complexion Perfection 5-Piece Collection will be a ONE day only QVC deal. Starting at midnight EST on QVC.com, you will see it as “Today’s Special Value.” This set retails for just entire $60.00USD, making this a major beauty steal.
