IT Cosmetics It’s All About You! Customer Favorites Collection Review & Swatches
The It Cosmetics It’s All About You! Customer Favorites Collection ($59) is the June QVC Today’s Special Value (TSV) that will available on the 25th and includes 3 fufull size It Cosmetics products as well as a full size makeup brush. This set is a launching pad for the new It Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Awakening Lip Treatment which is a new treatment lip balm that contains essentials butters and oils for moisture! It also gives your lips a natural, pink pout.
Let’s explore the contents of the entire set.
IT Cosmetics It’s All About You! Customer Favorites Collection contains:
- 3-in-1 Tightline 3-in-1 Black Primer/Eyeline/Mascara
- Heavenly Skin CC+ Skin-Perfecting Brush
- Supersize CC+ Illumination Color Correcting Illuminating Full Coverage Cream SPF 50+ (2.53 oz)
- Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Awakening Lip Treatment
The set is available as a one time purchase or you can get it on auto delivery. When purchased on auto ship your first ship arrives with the Heavenly Skin Perfecting Brush but your next shipments will not include a brush and the price will be $49.97 instead of $59. Personally, I would not recommend an auto ship for two reasons. One, you’re never going to run through nearly 3 oz of the CC+ Coverage Cream before your next order ships. And two, the contents remain the same with each shipment. So, unless all of these products are staples or holy grail products I’m doubtful you’ll need an entire set arriving at your door step every three months or so.
Above I’ve linked to my detailed reviews on each of the items in this set but I’ll do a brief recap of each here.
It Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Awakening Lip Treatment is one of the more exciting pieces in this collection but unfortunately failed to wow me. Jes Ne Sai Quoi is one of It Cosmetics most popular shades and it is available in a variety of products for both lips and cheeks. Most will likely thing of the It Cosmetics Color Stain Stick upon seeing the Lip Treatment but the formulas are different. Keep in mind this was also formulated for lips only where as the color stain stick was for both cheeks and lips. I felt the color was quite sheer and provided a hint of pink with light moisture but much else. The formula feels a little waxy and balmy with a very faint fruit flavor. I think I expected a bit more color from it and a lot more moisture which was the cause for much disappointment. If you’d like further info do read my full review of the balm.
The second item that’s brand new to this set and exciting is the new Heavenly Skin CC+ Skin Perfecting Brush was created for use with the CC+ Coverage Cream. As with all It Cosmetics Makeup Brushes this is a keeper. It has a lighter handle with soft, full bristles that had no shedding issues and retained their shape after two washes. It Cosmetics brushes are always very well made and there’s no exception to that rule here. I thought the brush was made very well and it buffs the cream into skin beautifully. The full bristles sheer out the super pigmented formula wonderfully for natural yet still excellent coverage. For me, it was a highlight in an otherwise uneventful set.
This does include on of my personal favorite products from It which is the Tightline Mascara. I actually use this daily to prep my lashes for mascara as it pulls them up and out with a lighter formula that doesn’t make my lashes crunchy. It’s very, very light so using thicker mascara on top of it doesn’t cause clumping or a mess. I also love the way the thinner bristle-less brush is small enough to wriggle under my upper lash line creating a tightline look without the need to use an eyeliner. And on days I want natural yet soft, longer lashes this is a great pick! If you’d like to know more things I love about it do read my full review.
And finally this set includes a massive size of CC+ Illumination Color Correcting Illuminating Full Coverage Cream. I’ve always loved It Cosmetics CC+ Coverage Cream but I’m not a huge fan of the Illumination one. To me, it’s pretty much the same formula as the original but it is a bit more yellow and it does contain a good deal of mica. Typically after blending really well I wouldn’t say I noticed the mica or the illuminating finish it apparently has. However, I do feel it is a little bit more yellow compared to the original shades. Read my full review for more info on this.
All in all, the IT Cosmetics It’s All About You! Customer Favorites Collection is an excellent value. You’re getting 4 full size products with this set for a mere $60 bucks plus $3 shipping. The value is most definitely here. What is not here or at least for me, is the excitement. I love It Cosmetics very, very much and I’m an It Girl no doubt. Many of their products are staples for me but I wish their QVC Today’s Special Values contains more color and newer products. Many of the sets include base products and after a while it can be repetitive. How many tubes of CC Cream does one girl or guy need? How many Bye Bye Foundation Powders? I wish they would do a curated set with more color cosmetics in it. Something that includes options for lips, cheeks, and eyes. Don’t get me wrong they have done these in the past but I feel like their base product line is their focus point where as many of the color cosmetics don’t get as much airtime.
The set is a great value but if you’re anything like me you likely have a few tubes of CC+ as well as a few tube of Tightline hanging around already. Unfortunately, I can’t say that the new brush or the new lip treatment make this set any more appealing. The brush is great but the lip treatment formula wasn’t that good.
If you need a tube of CC+ and you’re simply gagging to get your hands on this brush you might wish to indulge. No doubt, this is a great value. But some It Girls and Guys might find themselves questioning if they need it.
