IT Cosmetics CC cream compact vs. tube??

I know this has been addressed before but I can't find the thread. I have the new CC cream compact and I love the CC cream but hate the compact and I think the color is too dark for me. I am ordering the tube and I need to know if the color of the product is the same in both the compact and tube. I am using "light" in the compact and I need to go with "fair" if it is the same for those of you that have used both. Thanks!

Yes, the shades are identical.

I have medium in both and they are the same. I do definitely prefer the product in a tube though rather than the compact - a LOT more product for the $. The compact is a novelty and would be more useable if it could be refilled so I won't repurchase it in that configuration - only in tube form.

Be sure you save your light shade in the compact. You might need to mix them, the fair is much lighter than the light.

There is a youtuber who demonstrates how to open the compact. It's not intended to be done that way, obviously, so it takes a little work. I figure once it's empty, I'll have to throw it away anyway if it can't be refilled, so I've got nothing to lose by opening it up, even if I break it. Easy come, easy go!

This is exactly how I feel. I absolutely love the cc cream in the tube. The new compact in the medium was much darker for me. I had to send it back. Glad we still have the choice of both

Thanks for the info! I will definitely keep the darker in case I have to mix. Smiley Happy

Oh thanks for that - I'll have to look it up!! You're right, I've got nothing to lose since I'd just be throwing it away anyway. It's a shame it wasn't made to refill because it would be much more travel friendly and shade-mixing friendly.
