IT Cosmetics™ Bye Bye Foundation Set as shown on TV

AngelPuppy1 — Sat, 13 Aug 2016 12:11:04 GMT

Has anyone ordered this from the t.v. commercial? I am most interested in the foundation which seems to be a tinted moisturizer. You get several different products for $39.95. One is a concealer which I would also like to try.

I have some rosacea which Jamie says is a big problem with her, though mine is not really bad and would like to have more coverage, while not looking like I'm wearing a mask and not making me look older.

Just wondering if anyone had tried this and what your thoughts are. And also, if you think this is a good deal.

Thanks!

I bought the Bye Bye Foundation but not from the infomercial. I didn't want to get roped into multiple payments and auto renewals and I also didn't want the rest of the kit. I received the foundation direct from the It Cosmetics online site. So far I like it but I was surprised by how thick it is. For some reason I was expecting a tinted moisturizer but this is a true foundation. I have older skin so I have to dab it on with my finger or use a pouncer brush. It does have good coverage and did not feel greasy or sticky. By the way, It customer service is excellent. My initial order was either lost or stolen (USPS tracking said delivered but apparently not to me). CS replaced it without question and sent the replacement by UPS with signature required. It shipping is free if you spend more than $25.

@AngelPuppy1 - Be careful ordering from the informercial. Once you are in that type of offer, it is really hard to cancel. Maybe buy the item you want to try from a B & M or get a sample to try first.

People who have tried both the Bye Bye Foundation and the CC cream see no difference between the two except the scent. I'm convinced that IT simply used the CC cream formula (with a tweak in the scent) and packaged it as Bye Bye Foundation so that Guthy Renker and the infomercial could have a product that you couldn't get anywhere else.

@Jasmine19

Thanks for replying. Do you think this foundation is too thick and heavy?

Thanks -- I hadn't thought of that! Good point!

Oh, that could be true! So, now they are saying you can only get the so-called "foundation" through this infomercial? Hmmm --- I think I will think about this some more! Thanks!

That's been my theory too.

I don't think so.

You can also get it on the IT site. However, its $65 for the same size and same ingredients (minus the scent) as the CC cream which is only $38.

I watched a youtube vid about comparing the CC and Foundation, sorry I can't remember who on yt. But she said she did not find any significant difference between the two as far as performance on the skin. She said if she had to choose it would be the CC because of the cost.

Kathleen Lights did a comparison of the two. She said they have the exact same wording on the back of both packages. The only difference she found was the scent.

I have been using the CC 50spf cream for almost 2 yrs. I bought the try me kit off the TV - BYE BYE Spf 50 foundation ++ other items $39.00 I did get roped into an autoship that I was unaware of = $ 154.00 foundation, powder, mascara, lipstick and concealer ( may be something else (? cannot remember). I was able to cancel it. I like to buy what I need in pieces rather than AS kits. I find the CC cream is more yellow based ( I am med) more emollient , spreads easily and a TM finish . This Bye Bye 50 spf Foundation ( in med also) is a little thicker , more coverage and no so yellow based which I prefer. I am not sensitive to these minor smells they have so I did not even notice . I at first wondered if they are the same but concluded they are not- slight difference in color, coverage and spreadability. Just like WEN from Guthy has a slight difference.

@Mellie32

Am I getting this correctly then -- the one on the infomercial has no scent and the other one does??? I ask this because I have problems with fragrance in products. Thanks.

I haven't smelled the BBF myself. I don't know if there's NO scent - I just know the CC Cream is more citrus smelling.

Here are a couple more comparison reviews:

Thanks for this information. I, too, wanted to try the one on the informercial but already have the CC cream in Illumination, full coverage, and the new bronzer.

Also what stopped me from ordering from the infomercial is that the kit is NOT $39.95, that is just the first payment installement of 3!

@Mellie32

Thanks for replying, I appreciate it. But now that I see that I was wrong about the price (another poster pointed it out), I will not be ordering. Too much money for me!
