It Cosmetics Holiday Edition Airbrush Complexion Trio Review & Swatches

This was provided to me by a brand for review but all opinions expressed are my own

There’s still time for wonderful beauty gifts! Check out one of the two limited edition It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Wardrobe Anti-Aging Airbrush Complexion Perfection Holiday Trio Gift Sets!

This $39 set comes ribboned, tagged, and packaged with three full size products from It Cosmetics.

Take a peek!

This beautifully presented box set comes in a silver mirrored gift box with a white organza ribbon and a pink tag for gifting. It’s pretty much a no brainer beauty gift if you want the entire enchilada sans any troublesome wrapping or thinking too hard for the perfect gift headaches.

This trio includes full size Airbrush Blush Stain in Love Story, Anti-aging Matte Airbrush Bronzer, and Anti-aging Airbrush Illuminizer.

The trio utilizes is formulated with anti-aging ingredients that include hydrolyzed collagen, hydrolyzed silk, and vitamins A, C, E, and K to not only treat skin but to also give it a more youthful appearance!

Dust the bronzer on your forehead, chin, and nose to contour. Lightly apply the illuminizer to areas of your face you want to add light to such as brow bones and the tops of your cheek bones and finally apply the blush to your cheek bones!

Although it appears white in my swatch, the Illuminizer has more of a transparent finish which adds a glow effect to your face. I’m having a hard time getting it down just right as I stink at highlighter application so I’ve taken to using it on my brow bones to complete my eye looks!

All three powders have a soft, silky easy to blend formula with a strong wear of around 8 to 9 hours before showing minor fading in hour 10. The blush is particularly long wearing even in a warmer room or climate. Speaking of the blush it’s actually one that you can’t over do no matter how much you apply. It gives a nice peachy pink glow to cheeks and applies fairly sheer but still manages to add a lovely flush to cheeks that looks very natural. Being heavy handed I thought perhaps the loose formula would go a tad clown-y on my cheeks but it applies rather flawlessly.

If bronzer and highlighter aren’t your ideal picks, you can also pick this set up in a trio of blushes instead! Same great gift giving packaging but you’ll get three blushes shades sans the highlighter and bronzer.

Each set is $39 and available from QVC.com

The only thing missing?

A brush for application!

Otherwise this is a perfect gift!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    I have the vitality disc and LOVE every product in it. I think it is just a pressed version of the loose but I’m not totally sure. I have the illuminating powder and the ball brush that is sold with it on the Q. The ball brush really helps with application – it’s soft and not as dense as say a buki brush. You may want to try a fan brush too – that may give you the light dusting you are looking for.

    I give IT a huge thumbs up 👍.
