Well just look at me getting into all the hyped up products. This product was on my radar for what feels like forever. But it isn’t sold in my country. It’s like torture. But I finally found myself in an Ulta, and there was no way I was leaving without the It Cosmetics CC Cream.
It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream in Fair – $38.00 USD
Expensive CC cream? You betcha. I have to say I wasn’t expecting this product to cost as much as it does. But I only find myself in the States every so often, so I knew I had to seize my opportunity to try out something from It Cosmetics. This CC cream is at the tip of everyone’s tongues, and I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Turns out it’s awesome.
I have the shade Fair, which is the lightest, and it’s a great colour match. The packaging is amazing, finally a company that understands the necessity of a pump. It just makes life so much easier. You get the perfect amount with just under 1 pump. This CC cream has a great texture, it’s really thick, but blends excellently, and doesn’t feel greasy at all. I must say my skin feels lovely to the touch when I’m wearing this product and it’s set nicely on the skin.
The coverage is excellent for a CC cream. I tend to go for a light coverage to begin with, so this really impressed me. It’s a light-medium coverage that builds nicely to an extent. Obviously you don’t want to go applying two massively thick layers, but within reason this layers well. What I really appreciate about this product is the SPF 50. This is going to be the greatest base of all time for summer. The product feels really light on the skin, so I can see this being lovely for beach days when you want to protect your skin, even out your skin tone, and not look like a cake face.
In the photo above I’m only wearing the CC cream. As you can see it evened out all my redness beautifully. Obviously it doesn’t completely cover the monster zit on my chin that I couldn’t resist picking at, but the aim of a CC cream is to simply even out. A touch of concealer and it was all hidden.
I feel like I already need to ration this stuff as it’s not sold in Canada. Perhaps trips across the border will need to become more frequent…
Talk soon,
