Product RAVE!! In LOVE with this CC cream and concealer!
Last week I was chatting with ExH's new wife, who is a makeup artist and always looks like she has flawless skin. I was telling her how my foundation just never looks right. She recommended a product that she lives by - she actually has very uneven skin from acne when she was younger and yet I would have NEVER guessed...her skin looks amazing. She also has very dark circles under her eyes (as do I) and I have never seen them EVER. She swears by this concealer.
I went out and purchased both products she suggested: CC cream by IT Cosmetics and Bye Bye Under Eye by IT Cosmetics and tried them for the first time yesterday. Unbelievable!!!!! Seriously my skin looks like someone airbrushed it on. Not one crease, wrinkle, discoloration. Its perfection. And the concealer is fabulous. I used to swear by Laura Mercier concealer because it was the only one that would mostly cover by bags, but it also didn't last long and I would re-apply like crazy. This concealer COMPLETELY covers them and blends beautifully into the CC cream. And it lasted all.frickin.day.
I believe IT Cosmetics are only sold at Ulta - that's where I ordered mine. I highly recommend both!!

Re: Product RAVE!! In LOVE with this CC cream and concealer!
I was JUST googling looking for a foundation or something to give a more flawless look
I can never seem to acheive it and I blame it on my skin.
I MUST try this.
Thanks!

What color did everyone get and what is your skin tone?

That is a great CC cream! The ULTA near me is always sold out of it! I use the concealer too, like it a lot.

I also got the light and it blends perfectly. I'm pretty fair but I tan easily. I'm tan now and the light still matched well.

OK. I am fair as well but I do tan. So I'm white, but not ghost white!
I was looking at medium but maybe that's too dark.
I will see if they have testers there and Ulta is great with returns anyway.

It sounds like you have similar color to me. ExH's wife is ghost white (very porcelain looking) and she uses the Fair. I went one shade darker than that. I'm white but not THAT white and I do tan well. The Light was perfect. It was actually a tad darker than I expected it to be, but that worked out to my favor.

Too funny I was researching this yesterday. Went to Ulta for something else and saw it but was in a rush and didn't have time to test it. It gets great reviews online. I'm going to have to buy. Thanks!

I bought the regular one with SPF. I think she said she uses the illumination one on herself because it gives a little bit of a glow on the cheek bones. But honestly, I feel like the regular one did the same on me.

Re: Product RAVE!! In LOVE with this CC cream and concealer!
I just went to ulta at lunch and got it. Curious to try it tomorrow.
I saw something else next to it that I want to research. Some kind of loose powder that is supposed to airbrush away pores, etc.
It was pricey though and the brush they showed with it was even more pricey so I want to read some reviews first

I don't know about the powder, but she did say that she uses the IT airbrush foundation brush to apply the cc cream. I didn't purchase it though and just used my regular foundation brush.

Here is the powder. It calls itself an anti aging powder which is funny because I find that powder usually does nothing but age me- settles right in those lines!
I will have to read up on it.

Hmm interesting. I just asked her and she said she likes to use the Dermablend loose setting powder over the cc cream on her clients to set it for the day. But she's never used the powder you posted.
I actually have pretty large pores on my face, but the cc cream minimized them and they're not even noticeable when its on.

I didn't use anything over the cc cream yesterday and today and it's held up fine.

Re: Product RAVE!! In LOVE with this CC cream and concealer!
I have been using that cc cream for a while and I do love it but I honestly don't find enough of a difference between it and the garnier oil free bb cream to pay the price difference.

Re: Product RAVE!! In LOVE with this CC cream and concealer!
Tried it this morning.
I have to say, I have tried almost every BB cream on the market, from drugstore brands to super expensive, and always go back to Garnier. Nothing ever compares.
However, this one impressed me. For once I was like hmmm, this might be as good or better! It actually provided coverage without sinking right into my huge pores- which is the problem I have with everything out there other than Garnier BB cream.
I still see my pores in the one part of my face where they are just super prevalent, I don't think there is anything on the market (short of photoshop!  ) that will ever completely hide those bad boys, so I did sweep a little Bare Minerals foundation over it to really give it a fully finished look.
But overall, it looks great. Love the formula.
I want to see how it holds up all day, and I might get that bye bye pores powder I saw with it yesterday- it got some good reviews.
Depending on how it wears throughout the day, I may have found a new favorite!

The video I watched on the Ulta website said this takes the place of primer as well.
I did not use one.
