It Cosmetics New Year, Your Most New Year, Your Most Beautiful Skin Set 2016

You’ll be able to get your hands on the It Cosmetics New Year, Your Most Beautiful Skin Set which is the January 2016 QVC Today’s Special Value today at QVC.com. The It Cosmetics New Year, Your Most Beautiful Skin 6-Piece Set is probably one of my favorite It Cosmetics sets of the moment. Don’t get me wrong anytime It Cosmetics does a QVC Set it’s always a tremendous value but many times they include either their powder foundation or their CC Cream both products of which that I own plenty of. So I’m happy to say that this year’s New Year, Your Most Beautiful Skin Set includes one of my favorite products, a product I don’t mind have a ton of backups of, the CC+ Veil Cushion Compact Foundation with CC + Veil Cushion Compact Foundation

Not only do you get CC+ Veil Cushion Compact Foundation with CC + Veil Cushion Compact Foundation but the set also includes a new addition to the It Cosmetics family which is a refill cushion compact of the CC+ Veil. So once you use it up you can pop out the catridge and replace it with a new one.

Cool right?

At the risk of sounding like an infomercial, “BUT wait there’s more!”, let’s not forget you also get four other great It Cosmetics products too with this set!

The set includes:

    • CC+ Veil Cushion Compact Foundation with CC + Veil Cushion Compact Foundation Refill Cartridge
    • Blurred Lines Lipstick in shade Je Ne Sais Quoi (New Shade)
    • CC+ Crème Blush in Je Ne Sais Quoi (New Shade)
    • Heavenly Luxe Angled Radiance Crème Brush
    • Heavenly Luxe Dual-Ended Complexion Perfection Brush

They also load you up with a sample of their newest and first ever facial moisturizer entitled Confidence in a Cream as well as another of my favs, Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer.

And with many It Cosmetics sets they give you two of their gorgeous brushes. If you’re an It Cosmetics fan girl or guy already I don’t think their brushes need an introduction. They are have super soft bristles, sturdy handles, and are a well made brush all around that deliver flawless, airbrushed results no matter what product you use them with and no matter formula that product is in. Be it cream, powder, liquid, fluid, or other, these brushes all deliver fantastic results. I have a little army of them in my collection and I’m always delighted to add more to my collection.

As I mentioned this contains CC+ Veil Cushion Compact Foundation which is one of my favorite foundations. I’ve reviewed it extensively and you can check out that review here. You get one full size compact of CC+ Veil in this set as well as the brand new refill cartridge which snaps easily into your compact when it’s time for a refill.

CC+ Veil Cushion is exactly as the name implies, a cushion, saturated with a sheer, lightweight fluid makeup that feels virtually weightless on skin and manages to create a smooth, flawless, gorgeous finish on skin. This is an HG (holy grail) foundation for me as it gives my skin but better appearance. I don’t desire nor need a ton of coverage and this is just enough to give me soft, natural, second skin-like coverage that brightens up my entire complexion. I get into a lot more detail in my review so do head over to that post for more information about this fabulous foundation.

Although not new products, there are full sizes of CC+ Crème Blush and Blurred Lines Lipstick in this set. Fans of both these products will be delighted to know both are new shades based off of the popular It Cosmetics pink shade, Je Ne Sais Quoi. Je Ne Sais Quoi is a bright medium pink that gives lips and cheeks a flush of natural pink. With Valentine’s Day around the corner this playful shade of pink is ideal to celebrate with. I did an extensive review of the Blurred Lines Lipstick when it original launched last year which can be found here. This formula is a balmy lipstick formula that glides on easily without fragrance or flavor. They provide gorgeous color with light hydration and a soft, light sheen finish that wears for three or so hours. All the shades in the collection give a very gorgeous my lips but better appearance with a weightless, comfortable wear that keeps lips pleasantly moist.

The CC+ Cream Blush is a thin, sheer gel blush that blends easily onto cheek bones and leaves behind a natural flush of sheer pink. This isn’t an intense blush, it applies very sheer and in doing so looks more natural and seamless on skin especially drier skin or a complexion that has visible pores. It wears for about six hours on my dry skin before showing signs of fading. It’s one of my favorite blush and go products as it takes very, very, very little work to apply and gives a perfect flush every single time without hassle.

After all this I’m sure you’re curious about the price. That, is of course, a deal at $59.95 with $3 shipping! Nice right? You’ll get each item for $10 or so dollars each! Super deal isn’t it?

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.

    what do you feel about the brushes compared to other HG brushes you have? I have the sigma f80 and a variety of real technique brushes. How do you like the angled creme radiance brush? Does it blend creme blushes well?

    • Isabella Muse

      I don’t have any sigma brushes so can’t compare. The bristles are about the same as real technique brushes, very soft, shed-free. Good sturdy handles. The angled cream radiance brush isn’t great with foundation imho as the bristles are a little floppy and too soft. I think it works great with cream blushes though!

  • vanilla

    what color do you use? i am deciding between light and medium. The thing is the swatches on other blogs make it seem like the light shade is very similar to the medium shade while there is a huge difference between fair and light. I normally use skin79 gold label, maybelline fit me in 115, clarins HP tint in light. Missha M Perfect cover 23 is a bit dark on me but I can make it work.

  • Denise

    Meh. The whole cushion concept leaves me cold. I’ll stick to my IT CC cream.

  • Jennifae

    I’m trying to tell myself I don’t need this, but… so hard to resist! I really want to try their CC+ Veil Cushion Compact Foundation.

  • Dee

    I ordered this and really can’t wait for it to arrive. Love their CC cream and hope this one works as well for me.

  • Dee

    One question for you Muse! A lot of the reviews say there is not a lot of product in the compact itself. I went back and read your review and didn’t see that mentioned. Does it last about as long as a bottle of foundation?

    • Isabella Muse

      Hi Dee, it contains 0.34 oz of foundation so no sadly not a lot. It does not last as long as a bottle of foundation would. You do get a refill though!

  • Nicole

    Hmmm… Did I indulge? You know I did Isabella! I love the CC+ Veil! Love everything in the kit! I have no problem having backups of this foundation either.

    • Isabella Muse

      I got purchased a back up set as soon as it launched on qvc 🙂 It’s my favorite foundation too! I figure I’ll gift the other items but the foundation is all mine!

      • Nicole

        May or June should be the next shipment and I will bump my quantity up to 2 (possibly 3) because I have two nieces with birthdays in June & July that I have using IT Cosmetics because the one suffers from acne at times and she doesn’t have flare up issues so far with the cosmetics or the brushes by IT. My other niece has the severe eczema and it is currently under control and she has no problems with IT cosmetics or the brushes causing her eczema to flare up and if she does have a flare up she is able to use them over her moisturizer without any itching or stinging! They are both in high school now and it is tough enough being that age without everyone pointing out every flipping flaw you have (I swear kids do not have a filter from the thought in there brain to there mouth)!
        I had a 27 year old girl walk up to me while I was waiting for some carry out at our local bar and gril (maybe 2 weeks ago) and say, “Excuse me I don’t want you to think I’m weird, but you have the most beautiful skin I have ever seen.” I had some CC+ Veil on, cream blush in the Naturally Pretty, the Tightline Primer, and the Vitality Lip Blush Stain (it’s the kind in a tube like a gloss and I am too lazy to see if that is the correct name 😛 ). Seriously had I done my makeup we know I would have had other stuff on, lol! I was nice and chitchatted with her about skin care, makeup, and yada yada yada… Turns out she thought I was younger than her, and this girl had lovely skin and makeup! When I told her I was a decade older she was like “NO!” Then she had me write down what I was using on my face. Kind of comical, but a compliment nonetheless.
        Hope you are well Isabells! ❤️

        • Isabella Muse

          You’re the best aunt ever Nicole 😀 xoxoxo! That is such a great story 🙂 It’s always nice when someone says, “Gosh your skin looks amazing” I swear that truly is the best compliment in the world! 🙂 I love this stuff because it’s that sheer coverage that I desire without being heavy or over done! I’m great dear and you!? How are you doing? 🙂

          • Nicole

            I know, saying your skin looks amazing and not your makeup always makes me feel good!
            I try to be a good aunt. 🙂
            I have been good. It is like a roller coaster; you think “I’m good” and then you wake up and you think “I’ll call or text or send mom this picture” and reality comes back and let’s you know exactly where you stand in life. I make it through though. When things get hard I take them one minute at a time until they are better.
            Gosh I miss her so much, it feels like I can’t breath at times. It will be OK though, time will pass, it has only been a tad over 2 months.
            I want the review of that Superhero mascara! It will make me smile! 😀

  • Christiane claiborne

    Would you have rated this as good is you hadn’t gotten it for free? Everyone is complaining about the foundations small size and its sheer coverage.

    • Isabella Muse

      Hi Christiane! I’m guessing you’re new around here! 🙂 Yes, I would have rated it just as good if I had purchased it (And I have purchased it a few times since it launched last year as I really love this formula). As I said in this review, the fluid foundation is one my personal top favorites! I don’t lie in my reviews. If you’re a normal reader you’d realize that I tell it as it is in all my reviews. If I hate it, I’ll tell you so and if I love it, I’ll share that love. I’m not trying to trick anyone here, I’m up front and honest in all my posts. The small size compliant is an online rant since the foundation launched. My mentality is if it works I’m willing to pay for the smaller size. But the good news here is you aren’t paying the full price, so you’re getting a deal. Plus you’re getting a back up too. This is six pieces at around $13 or so per piece. That’s a huge saving of more than 50% off retail. Hope this helps! thanks for your comment!

  • Lacy

    I might pick this up… Speaking of which have you seen their new Superhero mascara?! I got the email and ordered the duo set and so far I’m loving it! Holy grail status in my book!

  • Rachel

    Hi dear Muse, do you possibly know if the shade Je Ne Sais Quoi in the lipstick/creme blush was exclusive to this collection, or may be an addition this season? I’m thinking that I would love it but I do prefer to swatch in person after some very upsetting past incidents with online lippie orders! Plus when this was available I was still under my personal makeup buying freeze, which will delightfully end next week! (I have to do that every few months or I’d never get any bills paid. The addiction is real.)

    • Isabella Muse

      I can’t say for sure Rachel but judging from past collections I imagine they’ll offer the shade outside the set. Haha I understand totally! Want all the makeup! 🙂

  • Penny

    Already use and love this foundation, so it was a no brainer for me to order this kit! Plus, you never can have too many It brushes! 🙂

  • Lisa Helen

    Woww… these all things are awesome! but most I like is blurred lines lipstick!

  • Denise

    Help! I’m desperately trying to unsubscribe to comments, but your website is FUBAR. My mailbox is blowing up.

    • Isabella Muse

      There should be an unsubscribe button at the bottom of the email, click it and that will unsubscribe you. What else is screwed up for you on the site???

      • Rachel

        I’m having the same issue Muse…my inbox had 30 new messages from you this morning. When I went to click the ‘Unsubscribe from this thread’ link, I got the 404 error every time. Server issues, maybe?

          • Isabella Muse

            Are they repeat comments or just the same reply over and over!? Been trying to replicate it but haven’t seen any problems yet…!?

          • Rachel

            They are all different comments, I believe, but all delivered at once, though here on the site they appear at unique times. I just tried again to unsub from this thread and got 404 again. Perhaps because I’m on a mobile device? Sometimes that can affect things, I think?

          • Isabella Muse

            Did you subscribe to those comments Rachel? How many did you get today? I know I did a bunch of approvals today, is that what you are seeing? I noticed the subscription issue, trying to clear that up right now. But not sure about the problem with the delivered, just curious if you subscribed to comments on the post or if you aren’t at all that concerns me. Thank YOU!

          • Rachel

            Just went back and counted 28 messages. I was initially subbed to this thread but then when I saw it blowing up this morning I tried to unsub, and that’s when I discovered the problem (thanks very much for looking into this! There could seriously be lots worse than getting emails from you ) lol

          • Isabella Muse

            aha so you didn’t get repeats of it Rachel, just the 29 replies here? It’s kinda a running thread of comments and me replying at one time as these were left over the weekend. Is that what happened? I tried replicating but I’m not seeing 30 emails because I’m not subscribed to any really active conversation posts on the site. haha I love you, thank you! Did you want me to delete your subscription for you?

      • Denise

        I’m having pretty much the same issues as Rachel. And when I followed the link in the email to manage my subscriptions, it took me to a page with a bunch of boxes that, when clicked, gave me the 404 error. When I tried to let you know about it via the Contact button on the site, that wasn’t working either. The weirdest part is that I don’t think I even subscribed to the thread in the first place!

        • Isabella Muse

          I’m sorry Denise. Working on this problem now. I’m not sure what is going on! Are you still experiencing the issue now?

          • Denise

            There are 11 more replies in my mailbox, if that’s what you mean.

          • Isabella Muse

            On this post? Or other comments? Confused…? Can you send me a screenshot?

  • ali

    I just got mine in today! I ordered the medium shade and afraid that it may be to dark! Do you think I should try it or just exchange it for the light shade? I have brown hair and a lighter completion since it is winter time! I lost my tan! I am a NW 13 in Mac so I am scared that my new product will make me look orange! what do you suggest?!

    Thank you,

    Ali

    • Isabella Muse

      Try it first Ali! I find the shades look dark Ali but they apply a little lighter. I’m not too familiar with MAC shades but from what I see in swatches it looks like a lighter beige perhaps with some yellow? Medium might be ok for you! QVC is fine with returns on used makeup as well btw! Hope this helps!?
