https://community.qvc.com/t5/Beauty/Does-anyone-know-an-EXACT-dupe-for-IT-Cosmetics-brushes/m-p/301871#M69653 <P>I'm wondering if any of you beauty experts have found the secret to a lower cost way to purchase these wonderful brushes. I've searched on Amazon and Google but was not able to find an exact match.</P> <P>After trying tons of IT products, I really believe that their wonderful brushes are the main reason for this line's success. Reviews of products sold without brushes are usually mixed and mediocre. Years ago, IT cosmetics had the strangest items. They had kits designed to make your bust appear larger and others to make your teeth seem whiter. Several different sites offered IT cosmetics but always seemed to discontinue them. I purchased many kits at a deep discount clearance price. </P> <P>I actually got the My Sculpted Face Palette totally for free (well, with a $10 purchase) years ago from Beauty.com. I tried it once and was not impressed.</P> <P>Things changed when Jamie started to include her fabulous brushes with products on QVC. I have personally purchased several items just to get the brush. It just seems like a waste of money to me.</P> <P>I know many women have invested a fortune on their cosmetic tools and believe that they are the secret to flawless application. I am finally realizing that this is true. In many cases, a drugstore brand works just as good when you throw away the cheap applicators that come with the product and use a really great brush. For years I used those silly little sponge tipped stiff plastic applicators and wondered why I wasn't satisfied with drugstore eyeshadow. Now with good brushes, I find very little difference between high-end brands and lower-cost alternatives. A good brush lets you blend and achieve a perfect smokey eye with little effort.</P> <P>Sorry for the tangent! Hopefully someone has found these great brushes under a different brand name. Thanks in advance for your help! <IMG src="http://community.qvc.com/DesktopModules/ExactTarget/Controls/TextEditor/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/thumbup.gif" alt="{#emotions_dlg.thumbup}" /></P> <P> </P> <P> </P> Thu, 21 Feb 2013 06:39:12 GMT Lurker 2013-02-21T06:39:12Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Beauty/Does-anyone-know-an-EXACT-dupe-for-IT-Cosmetics-brushes/m-p/301871#M69653 <P>I'm wondering if any of you beauty experts have found the secret to a lower cost way to purchase these wonderful brushes.
