It Cosmetics Your Most Radiant You Holiday Collection

It is FINALLY the holiday season! That means new clothes, new shoes, and new makeup! Oh, and food, family, hay rides, blah-blah-blah! I am just excited about new fashion and new beauty. You don't have to be into fashion to know that the outfits and clothing colors change for the holiday season. That's a given. Did you know that there are a ton of holiday beauty do's and dont's ? I mean everything from the colors that you wear to the way you do your makeup; it all changed when Autumn and Winter arrive. That is where It Cosmetics comes in.

My Full Experience with the Holiday Collection

After using this collection, I can confidently say that It Cosmetics is my new favorite makeup brand. Every single item of this 5-piece collection gave me incredible results! I was a bit worried at first because the Celebration Foundation looked a bit too dark for my skin tone. I figured that I would give it a try anyways because the cooler weather, tends to make my skin look very pale. I followed the instructions that came with this collection. I used the Heavenly Luxe Double Airbrush Foundation Brush to smooth the foundation onto my face. I am not one to wear powder on my face because it always make me look, well, powdery and unnatural.  I smoothed it all over my skin and I was shocked to see how well it blended! My face looked and felt incredible refreshed and illuminated! I have been using this every day since I received it and I am absolutely in love. I don't need liquid foundation any more because the Celebration Foundation does the job just right! My only critique is that it does not appear to be as FULL COVERAGE as I'd prefer.

I continued to follow the “Get the Look” instructions. I used the Heavenly Luxe Double Airbrush Foundation Brush to apply the CC+ Radiance Ombré BlushI lightly dusted the blush over the apples of my cheeks and I applied the highlighter to the top of my cheek bones using the side of the foundation brush. When applying the blush, I swirled the brush through all of the colors in the compact, to give my cheeks a more dimensional look. This blush is JUST pigmented enough to give you a natural look! The highlighter isn't too shiny or shimmery, so your it makes your cheek bones look raised and beautiful. The CC+ Radiance Ombré Blush gives you a light and feminine look that is perfect for the holiday season! The Heavenly Luxe Double Airbrush Foundation Brush has the softest bristles that I have ever come across. I almost lost my breath when I realized how incredible this brush is! You can seriously use it for anything and it will NOT disappoint!

I moved along to the No-Tug Waterproof Gel EyelinerI decided to create a winged look with this beautiful eyeliner. It went on very smoothly. It is just the right texture. It isn't too dry to apply smoothly or so smooth that it smears easily. It is just right. I like that you don't need to sharpen this eyeliner, so you can get into the waterlines and the corners of your eyes without it irritating you. My favorite thing about this eyeliner is that is literally lasts for 12 hours. It does NOT rub off easily. I received this in black. I would love to try a brown color in this gel liner, because brown is more fitting for the holidays and brings out my blue eyes.

I finished with the Hello Lashes Extensions 24HR MascaraThe first thing stood out was the mascara brush. It is a normal brush with a ball at the end meant to help you pay close attention to your smaller lashes and/or hard to reach lashes. I love how beautiful this mascara makes my lashes look. It isn't my favorite mascara, but it is definitely in my Top 5 list. I love that it is infused with nourishing and conditioning ingredients, so it is protecting and conditioning your lashes while you wear it. Something that really impressed me was that it lasted all day, without flaking, and it didn't clump up my lashes. Some mascaras are almost painful to remove from my lashes, but this one cleaned right off leaving my lashes healthier than before I applied the mascara.
