It Cosmetics Gemstone Brush Therapy Duo Collection Brilliant or Gimmick?

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

It Cosmetics has three, new It Brushes for Ulta Gemstone Brush Therapy Duo Sets that includes a full-size brush along with a healing Gemstone Bracelet.

Each Gemstone Brush is paired with a rose quartz, amethyst, or jade bracelet. I can’t say for sure or not but I don’t think the handles of the brushes are made from gemstones. Looks like the bracelet only is. The brushes do have a gemstone look though. As always the bristles are cruelty-free.

I have to admit this makes little to no sense at all. I don’t understand what the healing properties of gemstones have to do with applying your makeup. It’s just really far out there and a little strange for me to see a gemstone bracelet paired up with a brush. Maybe I’m missing the point but to me it’s another try to hard collection that misses the mark completely! That being said, I’m actually not a strong believer in gemstone therapy either. My mom swears her amethyst bracelet she wears helps with arthritis but I’m not completely convinced. It just seems a placebo to me. No offense to anyone who does believe they have healing properties.

I’m on a rant sorry. I just feel like some of these collections and products that brands have been releasing lately are trying a little too hard. It feels like they create a lot of this stuff so that people will Instagram it and they’ll get views/sales from that. Shrug! That’s my theory.

Anyway, each set is $35 and there three different brushes to choose from:

  • Rose Quartz Foundation Brush and Bracelet (gemstone known for its loving and soothing properties)
  • Amethyst Angled Blush/Bronzer Brush (gemstone known for its spiritual and peaceful properties)
  • Jade Powder Brush (gemstone known for its harmonizing and healing properties)

It Cosmetics Gemstone Brush Therapy Duo Collection is available now.

What do you think of these brushes?

Chanel Quintessence Les 9 Ombres Multi-Effect Eyeshadow Palette Is Giving Me Fall Vibes and I Like That!

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Chanel Quintessence Les 9 Ombres Multi-Effect Eyeshadow Palette ($70) caught my eye this morning and it’s giving me all kinds of Fall vibes. I wish Fall didn’t fly by so fast this year. Well, it seems like it does that every year. I remember as a child the Holidays and seasons seemed to last for ages. Nowadays I blink and they are over! Even though we are headed into Spring I’m all about Fall shades for my eyes so I’m quite alright with this sultry little number from Chanel!

The palette contains nine gorgeous shades in matte and satin finishes. I’m loving the blue and gold and of course, that stunning red. It’s a little bit of an odd release as it seems best suited for Fall looks but I’m totally wanting this one none the less even if I have to stash it a few months before using it. But honestly, I love doing a blue and gold look in the Summer too!

This yumminess is available now at Nordstrom.

Hey, what’s your latest high-end purchase? Anything I need to know about?

And by the way, Happy Weekend! What are you plans? It’s been pretty cold here and I can’t remember the last time I spent a weekend at home and that’s exactly what I might do. Tonight I’m going out a bit to have dinner and a movie with friends but I feel like just vegging for the rest of the weekend! I know myself though, it’ll probably never happen as I can’t sit still for too long!

What are your plans this weekend?
