May 2019 IT Cosmetics QVC Today's Special Value

IT''s here again, the much awaited IT Cosmetics' QVC Today's Special Value for May 2019!  To be honest, though, although this collection is compact, I love the fact that IT Cosmetics included the most basic and yet most important face essentials - the CC Cream matte, their AMAZING mascara, the Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Awakening Lip Treatment that makes lips so soft and supple, and the requisite makeup brush (although this time, it's wonderfully angled).

This kit includes the following:

-1.08-fl oz Your Skin But Better CC+ Oil-Free Matte SPF 40 Full Coverage Cream
-0.3-fl oz Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara
-0.11-oz Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Lip Treatment in Rose
-Heavenly Skin Skin-Hugging Foundation Brush

Here are the individual products and my thoughts on these!

IT Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Awakening Lip Treatment 

IT Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Awakening Lip Treatment 

The Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Lip Treatment is one of my favorites from this kit, just because I am always looking out for a good balm that will make my lips soft and supple since I use a lot of matte liquid lipsticks.  This one really does the job.   This lip treatment makes the lips really soft and moisturized without making it super glossy.

IT Cosmetics Heavenly Skin Skin-Hugging Foundation Brush No. 707

NEW! IT Cosmetics Heavenly Skin Skin-Hugging Foundation Brush No. 707

This new makeup brush has a very unique and interesting shape.  It has a unique brush head that literally hugs the contours of your face to seamlessly apply your CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte and even bronzers!

IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara

Seriously and honestly - The IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara is probably in the Top 2 Best Mascaras of all time for me.  Really.  I have super straight, short lashes, so this is a godsend.  It makes my sparse short lash hairs grow literally before my eyes and make them look decently lush.  This kit is worth if just for this mascara.

IT Your Skin But Better CC+ Oil Free Matte Full Coverage Cream

The IT Your Skin But Better CC+ Oil Free Matte Full Coverage Cream is great for those who want a seamless, matte finish.  I like my foundation with a little bit of glow, but this is perfect for those who have combination to oily skin and want something to control the oilies.

This new CC+ Oil Free Matte contains peptides, niacinamide, and hydrolyzed collagen, and gives very buildable, color-correcting coverage.

Again, this set is on presale today through Friday, and will be on Today's Special Value on QVC. It is available right now for $52.98 or 6 easy pays of only $8.83 each! (Item Number A372237)

And don't worry, even after this Saturday 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.

IT Cosmetics IT's Your Top 5 Superstars 6-Piece Holiday Set

IT Cosmetics IT's Your Top 5 Superstars 6-Piece Holiday Set

IT's back!  The much-awaited QVC Today's Special Value IT Cosmetics 6-Piece Holiday set is now on air selling for only $59.94 with FREE shipping and handling (only for today, November 10th), or 6 easy pays of $9.99 each!  The kit has a value of over $200 but you're technically only paying $10 for each item!  I can honestly say this is one of my favorite kits from IT Cosmetics in a while.  

The kit includes:

-0.30-oz Celebration Foundation in Fair, Light, Medium, Medium Tan, Tan, Rich, or Deep
-0.40-fl oz Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer
-2-fl oz Confidence in a Cream
-0.30-fl oz Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara
-0.057-fl oz Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Awakening Lip Treatment Serum
-Heavenly Luxe Dual-Ended Buff & Blend Brush

Let's discuss each item:

IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream Moisturizing Super Cream

IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream Moisturizing Super Cream

IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream Moisturizing Super Cream is a non-greasy type of moisturizer that I use right after I cleanse, tone, and apply my prescription-strength retinoid or BHA exfoliant. I mix it with my 100% pure argan oil or use it by itself. I wake up to soft and supple skin when I use this.

IT Cosmetics Celebration Foundation

The IT Cosmetics Celebration Foundation is a revelation.  It looks powdery (duh, it is powder), but it gives a really creamy, beautiful finish to the skin.   I swirled some product on the dual ended Heavenly Luxe brush that came with this kit, and it gave a beautiful, flawless finish on my skin.  I was truly impressed!  It covered imperfections great and also gave a seamless, creamy finish.  This is IT Cosmetics' Anti-Aging Foundation as the brand claims that this product blurs imperfections and wrinkles.  Honestly, I really did feel that it blurs my imperfections when I wear them, and it simply does look good.  I wear this foundation on a regular basis and I'm still pretty happy with it.

To make this product look creamier and less powdery, I mist my face with a facial mist after applying the product, then I buff in the product again to mix with the facial mist to give it a creamy  finish.

IT Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Awakening Lip Treatment Serum

The IT Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Awakening Lip Treatment Serum is one of my favorite items in this kit.  It makes the lips super soft and moisturized, kind of like a lip mask.  I use this before applying my liquid lipsticks which tend to be drying.

IT Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Dual-Ended Buff & Blend Brush

IT Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Dual-Ended Buff & Blend Brush

IT Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Dual-Ended Buff & Blend Brush

The Heavenly Luxe Dual-Ended Buff & Blend Brush is super soft, as with all It Cosmetics brushes.  The buffing end is for the application of the Celebration Foundation, and the other end is for the blending of the Bye Bye Undereye Concealer, but I mostly use this to buff the foundation.  This is such a versatile little brush.

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer

 For some reason, I think the new IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer is a bit creamier and not as difficult to blend.  It does help that you warm the product first with your finger before applying.  I love the new packaging with a bigger opening.  It is an anti-aging concealer, so this will not settle into fine lines when applied carefully.

IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara

IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara

The IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara is such a great find, and I can honestly say that.  I am loving volumizing mascaras as I tend to have short, fine lashes.  The IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara truly gives my short, sparse lashes the boost they need.  I like that it also elongates the lashes and makes them look lush.

Go ahead and grab this Today's Special Value from IT Cosmetics, you won't be disappointed.  The price point is beyond amazing.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance

Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renassaince

I purchased the  Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance way back in November 2016, after all the hype and accolades it received on blogs and social media, and after I watched Stephanie Nicole on YouTube say that this was one of the best (if not the best) palettes of 2016 that she's tried. I didn't want to feel too skeptical about it, but I was.  

I was also hesitant to purchase it because I don't really use a lot of pinks, magentas and hues in that color family on my eyes. I prefer neutrals, bronzes and earth colors for my eye shadows.  However, I was definitely intrigued, so when the Sephora VIB sale rolled around, I quickly snagged this palette, and posted a look on my Instagram.  However, this is the first time that I am formally reviewing this palette.

The Modern Renaissance palette has fourteen shades (14 x .02 shadows) in neutral, rose, berry and plum tones.  It also comes with a double-sided brush.  The colors are very appropriate for fall, but are versatile enough to be worn year-round.
