For $24 (and $3 shipping) you're getting five full-sized products (the Perricone No Lipgloss Lipgloss retails for $30 by itself!). QVC sent me this kit a few weeks ago and I've been playing around with all the products, so I'm able to share my thoughts with you.
Let's take a look!
Perricone No Lipgloss Lipgloss, Julep It's Balm, Nudestix Magnetic Eye Color |
Julep It's Balm in Vintage Mauve (Full Size)- This is a full-coverage lip crayon with a moisturizing treatment core in the middle, so it's not as dry-feeling as a lot of other lip crayons are. It makes my lips feel smooth and soft and the color is such a beautiful MLBB shade that leans more dusty rose than pink. (Retails for $20)
Nudestix Magnetic Eye Color in Immortal (Full Size)- This is my first time trying Nudestix and I'm already hooked! This shade, Immortal is a beautiful deep bronze color with a satin finish, no shimmer. It's really smooth and creamy and glides on easily, but also dries down fast and lasts all day with no creasing. You can use it all over your eyelids or use it to line your eyes. I love taking it under my lower lash line because it stays put! (Retails for $24).
IT Cosmetics CC+ Full Coverage Cream in Medium (Deluxe Sample .135 oz)- This is my holy grail summer foundation for so many reasons. It has amazing coverage, yet is lightweight. It moisturizes my dry skin and doesn't settle into lines or cake, so it makes my skin look younger, not older. It also has SPF 50, which is incredible for a foundation. It's also an anti-aging treatment with peptides, niacin, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants, so it's really everything you could ever ask for in a foundation. (Full size retails for $38).
Algenist Reveal Radiant Color Correcting Primer (Deluxe Sample .17 oz.)- I reviewed this primer a few months ago (see that post here) and I loved it! It contains multi-colored algae to color correct and even out your skintone, plus alguronic acid and microalgae oil which are in Algenist's skincare products, so it also provides anti-aging benefits as well. In clinical studies, women noticed more even skin tone and brighter skin in 10 days using only this primer...nothing else. So it actually benefits your skin from the inside while it's color correcting on the outside. It also feels creamy...more like a lotion than a silicone primer.
Campanelli Fresh Face Makeup Remover Towel- This is magical! It looks like it's just a super soft furry towel but this baby removes all traces of makeup with just water. Yup! Just wet it under the faucet, wring it out so it's just damp and use the short-fiber side to remove your makeup in circular motions, then flip it over to the side with the longer fibers to exfoliate. This took off my eye makeup (even mascara) easily and didn't leave any raccoon eyes in the morning. The best part is, I didn't need any cleanser and this towel can be washed in the washing machine so there's no waste.
This kit also includes a blender sponge, which feels a lot like the Real Techniques sponge (the orange one).
Here are swatches of all five makeup products...they're all such pretty, wearable shades! Even if you're not a match for the CC+ Cream, you can still feel the texture and see if you like it before buying the full size.
Overall, this is a fantastic kit for $24...I'm so happy I discovered some new products (and have some travel sizes of some of my favorites).Grab yours now at QVC.com

DeleteI just ordered one for me and one for my sister who loves QVC. She will be so surprised! I can't wait to try everything, but especially the Perricone No Lipgloss, Nudestix, and Julep Balm. The colors look really pretty. The makeup remover towel sounds amazing too, what a great set! I'm so glad you were able to try everything and swatch it for us, it's very helpful.
ReplyDeleteKimberly that's a great idea. My mom is both a beauty junkie and addicted to Qvc and her birthday is coming up. I was planning to order for myself but this will make a really great gift.
DeleteThat's a great idea Kimberly and Char Char! This really would make a great gift for just about anyone who's into beauty products. :)
