It Cosmetics CC+ Radiance Ombre Blush in Je Ne Sais Quoi: Swatches and Review

I am not always a fan of everything It Cosmetics releases, but more and more, I find myself becoming an 'It' girl, and the product I have been reviewing the last few weeks, the It Cosmetics CC+ Radiance Ombre Blush in Je Ne Sais Quoi has been constantly on my cheeks.

 

This blush retails for $24 and with the amount I have been using it, worth every penny! There is currently only one color selection, which is a pink. But according to It Cosmetics, it is supposed to self-adjust to give you your own unique glow! It turns rather peachy pink on my skin!

It is also has collagen and peptides, which is where (I am assuming) the CC+ comes into play.

 

Isn't this just the prettiest? You can use the top section as a highlight, which I like to do, although swirling all the colors together will not get rid of the ombre´. I love this because it really does give a lit from within glow that is just so easy, which is why I keep reaching for it. 

 

The swatches show the individual sections of the blush and then what it looks like blended together. The texture is easy to work with: not too dense or powdery.

This gives me a healthy glow that I am addicted to. Keep in mind that it has a luminous finish but is neither sparkly or matte. I love it!

IT Cosmetics My Sculpted Face

Contouring is a world I am extremely new to. I take that back. Beyond a few weeks ago, I never really thought of contouring AT ALL. But since I received this awesome IT Cosmetics My Sculpted Face Palette for Christmas, my procrastination about learning to contour has come to an end. Sort of.

So...for $38, you too can supposedly become a master of contouring. I admit, IT Cosmetics is brilliant with face products. They give you a handy-dandy chart to show where to place the powders as well. 

These 6 shades are waterproof and packed with moisturizing Jojoba oil and Vitamin E, so they are good for your skin. They blend easily as well.

You get a matte cream, a shimmery cream, a matte light brown...

...A rosy light brown, a tan, and a dark brown. All matte. They are a little patchy is swatches because they are a bit powdery. Over foundation or BB Cream, these are creamy and really have a lot of pigment but it is still hard to over-apply them. I think this is a great starter contouring kit.

I have been playing around with it a lot lately and hope to use it in upcoming looks, but even with the helpful sheet inside, I am still terrible at contouring. My beauties, any tips?

IT Cosmetics Heavenly Lux Brush Set

Hello Pandas!

The foundation for all good makeup application is good makeup brushes. It is a known fact, but still, beauty mavens often scrimp because brushes just aren't as appealing as a new blush or lipstick. Or maybe it is just me. In the past year or so I have treated myself to middle-range brushes including Sonia Kashuk, Ecotools, and RealTechniques, all of which I love and highly recommend. But recently, I received the IT Cosmetics Heavenly Lux Brush set, and now I am thoroughly spoiled.

 

 

IT Cosmetics Heavenly Lux Brush set is a set of 6 essential brushes housed in a travel, black stand-up case for $45. They are made from 100% cruelty free fibers as the company claims. IT Cosmetics has all of the proper cruelty-free labels and stamps on their website and it is amazing how these look and feel like real hair. I am SO happy these are eco-friendly too.

The brushes you get, from left to right: A foundation brush (large, flat and tapered), a powder/blush brush (so soft, perfectly round), a small eye shadow brush, a crease/blender, an eyebrow/eyeliner brush with a spoolie on the other end, and a concealer brush.

I would recommend this for anyone looking for a good quality travel set of brushes. The handles are beautiful and have little jewels at the bottom and the brushes do not shed and hold their shape as well as apply makeup flawlessly. If you are willing to shell out the little extra, this really is a great value.

 

This is a close up of the foundation brush. It is so pretty and sturdy and the bristles are packed so tightly!

The black case closes shut with a velcro tab at the bottom and can be flipped open to stand on a sink or vanity whilst getting ready.

I love this brush set. Good quality, all the essential brushes, and cruelty-free!
