IT Cosmetics IT's All About You! Customer Favorites Collection

For IT Cosmetics fans, here's your chance to grab customer favorites in a sweet deal. IT Cosmetics partners with QVC to come up with TODAY'S SPECIAL VALUE: Four IT Cosmetics Customer Favorites in one:

-2.53-fl oz CC+ Cream Illumination

-0.012-oz Brow PowerFULL Universal Volumizing Eyebrow Pencil

-0.11-oz Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Awakening Lip Treatment in Honey

-Heavenly Skin CC+ Skin Perfecting Brush

This is all for a sweet Today's Special Value Price of $59.94 with $3.50 standard S&H!

What's best is that this set is available RIGHT NOW for 6 easy pays of only $9.99 each! That is one amazing value. Below are the individual items in this set:

The SUPER SIZE CC+ Illumination Color Correcting Illuminating Full Coverage Cream SPF 50+ (a whopping 2.53 fl. oz) compared to the regular sized version

SUPER SIZE CC+ Illumination Color Correcting Illuminating Full Coverage Cream SPF 50+ in Light, Medium, With Flash

SUPER SIZE CC+ Illumination Color Correcting Illuminating Full Coverage Cream SPF 50+ in Light

SUPER SIZE CC+ Illumination Color Correcting Illuminating Full Coverage Cream SPF 50+ in Light, blended

In this kit, you will get the Supersize CC+ Illumination with SPF 50, but I am comparing it to the regular size of the CC cream. As you can see, the SUPER SIZE CC+ Illumination Color Correcting Illuminating Full Coverage Cream SPF 50+ that comes in this set is a Supersize CC+. It is indeed a great value and you get your money's worth. This is my favorite CC cream (or even out of all BB creams) that I've tried, because many of the CC/BB creams have very little coverage. This is a product that is Full Coverage and really hides my imperfections and blends into the skin seamlessly.

Wearing SUPER SIZE CC+ Illumination Color Correcting Illuminating Full Coverage Cream SPF 50+ in Light

This is honestly one of my favorite everyday foundations. It really does what it claims and illuminates the face and gives it a subtle radiance which is not over-the-top.

IT Cosmetics Brow PowerFULL Universal Volumizing Eyebrow Pencil

I am very particular about my eyebrow pencil. I hate when it is overly waxy because it ruins the shape and appearance of my brows. I LOVE the IT Cosmetics Brow PowerFULL Universal Volumizing Eyebrow Pencil. It is quite stiff which I love because it really shapes and contours the brows, and it is not overly waxy, which is great because I hate wax residue on my brows. It doesn't look natural and just ruins the entire look. The IT Cosmetics Brow PowerFULL Universal Volumizing Eyebrow Pencil is perfect for shaping and structuring your brows, and the angled tip is great for filling in the hairs.

IT Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Awakening Lip Treatment in Honey

IT Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Awakening Lip Treatment in Honey is a new shade of an otherwise cult classic product. This lip treatment makes the lips really soft and moisturized without making it super glossy.

IT Cosmetics Heavenly Skin CC+ Skin-Perfecting Brush

The Heavenly Skin CC+ Skin-Perfecting Brush is a nice dome-head brush that is the perfect companion of the CC+ Cream Illumination Color Correcting Illuminating Full Coverage Cream. The Heavenly Skin CC+ Skin-Perfecting Brush reminds me of my kabuki on a stick which is my go-to kabuki or brush to apply my cream and liquid foundations when I don't want to use the beauty blender sponge.

Again, this set is Today's Special Value on QVC. It is available right now for 6 easy pays of only $9.99 each! (Item Number A346924)

And don't worry, even after today, this item will still be available on QVC.com. If you are a fan of these makeup staples from IT Cosmetics, do not pass up this chance to snag this set.

Zoya Winter Holos Collection Swatches, Review

Friday, March 8, 2019

Press Sample

Zoya Winter Holos: Zoya Cadence, Zoya Everly, Zoya Brighton

I am such a sucker for holographic nail polish that I think I have more than 20% of them in my vast collection. I am showing you three holos from Zoya that I think are not just for winter but are perfect year-round.

Zoya Brighton

Zoya Brighton is a beautiful full-coverage diamond holographic nude. This is such a pretty color and would be an amazing bridal nail color.

Zoya Cadence

Zoya Cadence is described as a full-coverage, holographic classic pink. It is very girly and would be a great spring and summer color.

Zoya Everly

Zoya Everly is described as a full-coverage, diamond holographic fuchsia red. It is not as bright as the red creams but this is still quite pretty.

I used to just like linear holos (the holographic polish that has that linear "flame-like" line) as opposed to the scattered holographic polishes such as these Zoya holos. However, I really like how sparkly these are on the nails, and just as pretty as the linear holos. I would definitely snag them in a heart beat if I didn't already have them, just because holos are like palate-cleansers to me and are a nice break from the usual classic creams.

These holographic polishes are also $10 a pop and are available at leading salons nationwide or at the Zoya website.

Zoya Spring 2019 Innocence Collection Swatches, Review

Friday, March 8, 2019

Press Sample

Zoya Spring 2019 Innocence Collection

I am so excited to share with you the new Zoya Spring 2019 Innocence collection. It is quite unique from Zoya's other collections as it has a beautiful polish with a somewhat different texture - shards of silver flakies mixed with dark blue glitter, but more into that later. Here are my swatches and thoughts on the new collection.

Zoya Birch

Zoya Birch is one of my favorites from this collection because it's a marriage of two of my favorite hues - grey and lilac. It's a greyed lilac cream that is just soooo pretty and very springy.

Zoya Agnes

Zoya Agnes is a warm-toned softened blush cream that looks very pretty and clean on the nails. This will make a very nice office or job interview color.

Zoya Fern

Zoya Fern is an absolute beauty! It is described as a sage with a warm pearl accent. The flashes of gold are very eye-catching and just so pretty. Also one of my faves from this collection.

Zoya Arie

Zoya Arie is a deep dusty periwinkle in full cream coverage formula. The formula of this one is amazing. It can be opaque in one coat but I use two to be perfect.

Zoya Evette

Zoya Evette is a red-based purple cream that is also full-coverage. It is described as a softened grape. I think this is the brightest of the bunch and is also perfect for spring.

Zoya Theo

Ahh, Theo! My most favorite polish from this collection! It's a beautiful textured polish with shards of silver flakies mixed with dark blue glitter. It's quite unique and the irregular shapes of the silver flakies are what make this polish my absolute fave - it's very edgy and innocent at the same time (aptly suits the name of the collection).

All in all, I am loving the colors from this collection. Faves are Theo, Birch, and Fern. These retail for $10 a pop and are available at all leading salons nationwide and on the Zoya website.
