The It Cosmetics CC+ Your Way To Radiant Skin is a brand new collection debuting on QVC today as the Today's Special Value! This kit is valued at $172, but today only, you can purchase it for only $59.96 (reg. $72.50). There are three new products that are launching with this collection: the Your Skin But Better CC+ Illumination, The Heavenly Luxe Radiance Wand Brush, and the Luxe High Performance Anti Aging Eye Shadow Trio in Pretty In Spring. Let's take a look!
I was so fortunate to receive this kit ahead of time courtesy of It Cosmetics and I've been trying everything out over the past week, so I'm excited to share my thoughts about the products with you!
I'm already a fan of the Your Skin But Better CC+ cream, so when I found out that they were launching a CC+ Illumination formula, I couldn't have been happier. If you haven't tried the original version, it's a CC Cream that acts as a full-coverage color correcting cream, anti-aging serum, and broad-spectrum physical SPF 50+ all in one! I love it because it doesn't crease, settle into lines, or crack even on my super dry skin...it feels moisturizing like a CC cream, yet covers like a full-coverage foundation.
This new Illumination version is the same formula I know and love but it gives your skin a boost of radiance and a lit-from-within glow that's not sparkly or glittery.
This CC Cream replaces 8 products:
1. Anti-aging serum- This is clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Moisturizer- Clinically proven to hydrate your skin.
3. Primer- Clinically proven to reduce the look of pores.
4. Skin Brightening Serum- Clinically proven to brighten your skin if you have age spots or sun spots
5. Color Corrector- Reduces redness, blue undereye circles and darkness from hyperpigmentation.
6. 50+ Physical Only Sunscreen- no chemicals, perfect for sensitive skin (and no sunscreen smell!).
7. Full Coverage Foundation- Unlike other CC Creams this provides total coverage.
8. Illuminator- Contains "Drops of Light Technology" to give your skin a lit-from-within glow, no shimmer or glitter.
So basically, just wash your face, add the Your Skin But Better CC+ Illumination and you're done!
I received the shade Fair and it's a little yellow for my skin when swatched (I have pink undertones) but once blended, it looks great. It feels like you're putting on a moisturizer rather than a foundation but it covers just about everything- I didn't even need to use concealer, I just added a second layer of the CC+ under my eyes and it didn't settle into fine lines at all. I just love that it brightens my dull complexion and my skin glows when it catches the light. I didn't think the original CC+ could get any better, but I'm loving this formula even more!

The Vitality Face Disc has been around for a while, but it has an almost 5 star rating on QVC for good reason...it's an all-in-one anti-aging palette that's perfect for contouring. It contains the Luxe High Performance Anti-Aging Matte Bronzer, Luminating Radiance Powder, and the Vitality Powder Blush Stain.
I use the matte bronzer (matte bronzers are hard to find, aren't they?) around my hairline, temples, under my cheekbones and down around my chin. Then I apply the Vitality Blush Stain to the apples of my cheeks- it's a powder blush that literally lasts all day. Then I finish up with the Luminating Radiance Powder on the tops of my cheekbones, and down the center of my face for the perfect glow.
The bronzer is the perfect bronze shade...it's not too orange which is something I have to watch out for having light skin. The highlighter is the perfect champagne shade, and the blush stain is such a gorgeous pink.
The Heavenly Luxe Radiance Wand Brush is a brand new brush that's launching with this kit, and it's probably the softest, most luxurious brush I've ever used. It's super fluffy and it's dome-shaped...perfect for applying the powders in the Vitality Face Disc.
The Luxe High-Performance Anti-Aging Eyeshadow Trio in Pretty in Spring is also brand new and launching with the Your Way to Radiant Skin kit. These eyeshadows are packed with high-performance pigments and anti-aging ingredients that help to blur away the look of imperfections. These shades are so beautiful...if I had to pick three shades to put in a palette, this is what I would choose. The pink dusty rose shade is the perfect crease color and the shimmery light creamy color looks beautiful all over the lid up to the brow bone. I used the darker brown shade on my upper and lower lash line and it was super soft and pretty...much less harsh than eyeliner.
The No-Tug Dual Airbrush Eyeshadow Brush is double-ended with an eyeshadow brush on one end and a smudger brush on the other. I used the eyeshadow brush to apply my lid and brow color and then used the smudger end to apply the brown shade from the eyeshadow palette along my lash line. This brush made application so easy.
This is my finished look using all of the products in this kit. The only products I applied that weren't in the kit were lip color and mascara. I used the CC+ cream all over my face, then I used the bronzer along my hairline, under my cheekbones and under my chin. I used the blush on the apples of my cheeks and highlighter just above it. I used the eyeshadow palette on my eyes and also used the brown shade to fill in my brows since it was the perfect color! I love how luminous my skin looks with the CC+ Illumination...my face just has a lit-from-within glow where the light hits it.
Overall, the CC+ Your Way to Radiant kit is an amazing value at only $59.96 for $172 worth of products, and includes 3 new releases, including the CC+ Illumination! The Today's Special Value price is only valid for the next 24 hours, so if you're interested, head on over to QVC to purchase!

I just placed my order. I turned on QVC right after I read this and watched a little of the presentation and that was enough for me. I haven't tried IT yet but my friends all love it and so I'm taking the plunge. Thank you for posting this, its a really good deal.
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, that's great! You're going to love it and IT Cosmetics is such a great company... their products really live up to their claims.
DeleteTotally getting this, thank you for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, you're very welcome! It's a fantastic deal. :)
DeleteI almost died when I saw your post on Instagram. The IT CC Cream is my holy grail foundation!!! I was on a no makeup buy this month but surely I can make some room in the budget for this. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha Natalie, that always happens to me. As soon as I say, "Ok no more makeup for a while" something awesome comes out and I can't resist! :)
DeleteI have always loved IT CC Cream because it's so much easier than using so many different products, and I have seen such great results after I started using it. I've been looking for a new eye shadow brush, and I think I'm going to buy this one. Makeup is my weakness haha! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, it really is an amazing product. It's one of my absolute favorite face products. I like to try new things, but I always end up coming back to the CC+ at the end of the day. And the eyeshadow brush is awesome, so you'll love it!
DeleteYou look totally gorgeous!! These colors look so flattering. I'm a huge fan of the original IT CC cream, probably my fave foundation. I'm still finishing up a big tube, so I can't get this one yet. Do you find the Illuminating one more moisturizing then the original version ? (Katherine T.)
ReplyDeleteHi Katherine! Thank you so much! It seems to be exactly the same as the original...just with some luminizing particles mixed in. It's about the same moisturization as far as I can tell.
