I was able to try a beauty kit from IT Cosmetics with such a great value, and it's called the IT Cosmetics Hello Beautiful Anti-Aging 5-Piece collection. IT Cosmetics stands for Innovative Technology Cosmetics and was founded by Jamie Kern. The IT Cosmetics line is available on QVC.
For this particular set, you get 5 products from IT Cosmetics that I read are some of the best products from the brand for only $60. You get the following:
-0.30-oz Celebration Foundation
-0.33-fl-oz Hello Lashes 5-in-1 Mascara in Black
-0.118 fl oz Tightline Full Lash Length Primer in Black--exclusive to QVC until 9/18/2013
-0.24-oz Vitality Flush Color Stain Stick in Je Ne Sais Quoi, a sheer pink--exclusive to QVC until 9/18/2013
-Heavenly Luxe Buffing Airbrush Foundation Brush
I was skeptical at first because this was my first time to try anything from IT Cosmetics, but I was seriously impressed with the products, especially the foundation. I was also impressed with the other products as well, which I shall explain in-depth below. Let's start first with the product I was impressed with the most: the Celebration Foundation.
First of all, I am very picky about my foundations. I already have some holy grail products in my makeup stash, so I wasn't really keen on trying a powder foundation as I thought it would be caky. I was so disappointed when I got the Tan shade. I thought it would be too dark on my skin, as I am usually a Medium or even Light-Medium. However, when I looked at the shade in the compact, I figured it was probably my shade because it was on the lighter side of tan. As you can see in the swatches, it disappeared into my skin, but it is still a tad too dark, which was okay because I knew I was going to tan anyways because summer is here.
I used the Buffing Airbrush Foundation 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.
The IT Cosmetics Vitality Flush Anti-Aging Color Reviver Stain in Je Ne Sais Quoi is a very natural stain that is perfect for that "glow-from-within" look. It's a sheer flush of color that gives the appearance of healthy, flush of color on the cheeks, thus the name "Vitality". It also has a sheen to it that for me operates like a highlighter as well.
This product is multi-purpose. You can use this on the lips, cheeks or anywhere you want a healthy flush of vitality on your skin.
The Tightline Full Lash Length Primer in Black is to be used in tandem with the Hello Lashes 5-in-1 Mascara in Black. I love lash primers because they really help my asian lashes which I know are the sparsest and shortest lashes in the world.
This product really did lengthen my lashes, but since my lashes are virtually non-existent and hopeless, they don't look much in pictures. In person, though, the lash primer really made my lashes appear longer in more lush, even for a tiny bit (because as I said, my lashes are hopeless).
Okay, the tip of this brush looks like an instrument of torture, but it's actually a great invention. The bulbous tip really makes it easy to apply mascara on the inner and outer corners of the lashes. I also like the brush because the plastic bristles really define the lashes and avoid clumps.
This brush feels very luxurious and dense, and it's the perfect partner of the Celebration Foundation to buff in the product smoothly and seamlessly into the skin.
All in all, this is a great value that is available on QVC for only $60.48 plus shipping and handling. This is a good buy since the Celebration Foundation and the brush already retails for almost $40.
You can purchase this kit on the QVC website or search the website using Item No. A231604.
