IT TSV: Review

luvsstoshop — Sat, 04 Jan 2014 17:06:21 GMT

Hey All!

I received this thursday and have wore it for two day and I LOVE it!

I purchased the Medium set and the CC Cream.

I must say the finish is beautiful it gives you a glow very similar to BE original. ( I swatched them beside each other) but it is not chalky like BE. The Coverage is wonderful! Covers everything!

The serum smell is lovely. It is like going to a spa. I like the way it feels on my skin and it does dry down and is not slick at all.

The BYE-Bye concealer is awesome and the brightener really does brighten.

The fan brush I will use for highlighters.

All in all I am really pleased with the TSV.

I'm still playing with the CC cream but so far it's a winner as well.

Post your reviews here!

I really like mine, I got medium. At first I thought it was too dark, but I think I was using too much primer. For the ones who did not like the kit, if you use more than a drop of the primer, you could end up looking like the tin man. I think this new foundation makes your skin look good!

I just tried mine this morning, for the first time, and you can add me to the happy camper list! For me, the fan brush is a bit of a waste because the single drop of primer dried down so fast there was really no time to use the brush to smooth it out...fingertips do just fine. The coverage and finish of the foundation is fabulous. The "light" is just right for me - no line of demarcation at all - the color on my jawline matches to my neck perfectly. I still have some other foundations to use up, but I'm so glad I got this kit on A/D.

Not happy with mine and my first IT purchase. The foundation is metallic and just sits in any lines (I don't have many). It seemed drying to me and aging. The fan brush is useless and not sure why they have it to use with the primer. I don't care for the scent of the primer. I did like the concealer-the highlighter was ok. Not keeping this kit for one product. I was disappointed. I did order the gel brow pencils so hoping I like those.

Just got mine yesterday and love it, too. I don't need the fan brush, but everything else is perfect. I think this version of the Celebration foundation may be even better than the original, and l still like that one, too. The new one does give a little luminescence to the skin but is not pearly or tinny, and I have oily skin. I don't know how IT products work on younger skin, but they're a big help to this 63 year old.

Try it using only one drop of primer for the whole face, and then wait several minutes, before putting on foundation.

I did do that...I don't care for the foundation. It's too drying for me and I don't like the sheen. Thanks for the tip, Persephonel!

I Received mine Thursday and tried it Friday. I too thought it was very drying even though I put moisturizer on before the primer. Today I did half my face with moisturizer, It primer & foundation and the other half with moisturizer, BE primer & foundation. I could definitely tell a difference in dryness and see a difference in color. It side felt dry and looked orange. I purchased the tan. Back it goes and back to my BE

Re: IT TSV: Review

GymBunny — Sun, 05 Jan 2014 03:30:58 GMT

I ordered the tan too and actually thought it was on the lighter side for a tan color.

I got mine Friday and have worn it Friday night and today Saturday. I ordered light (I'm Fairly Medium(Original) or Medium(Ready) in BE for the winter, Medium(Original) in the summer), and this shade is close, but it is a tad yellow on for me. I think it could work, but doesn't completely match. My verdict is still out, I'm going to continue to wear and see how I feel after a few more days. I always go back to BE even though I love trying new foundations, so we'll see!

I do like the concealer/highlighter pen, but I'm not so sure about the primer either. It smells very earthy to me which doesn't bother me, but I'm not sure I see a difference no matter what primer I use honestly. Also it's messy, I'm always afraid I'm going to make a mess and/or use too much. I think a pump would work better for this particular primer. Also I don't get how to use the fan brush so I've been just using my fingers.

The Heavenly Luxe Double Airbrush Foundation Brush is okay, but I think I actually like the regular Heavenly Luxe brush better, just sayin!

I got mine last night and LOVE it! I even got compliments today

I could literally take a bath in this new primer; I love the feel and the smell. And this Illumining foundation is so beautiful. Glad to be a new IT girl.

Okay, after sitting here, doing laundry and watching tv, my face kept feeling more and more uncomfortable and irritated, so I washed off the foundation and put on my BE, and right away it feels and looks better. The it foundation really did look too yellow on, and I guess it's irritating my skin. I so wanted to love this, but BE looks and feels so much better. Maybe I'll give it one more shot, but it's not looking good. What a shame because it is such a good deal, especially for the future deliveries which are only $39.95 without the brushes. *Sigh*

Thank you for posting the review. I use and really like the concealer, but the foundation didn't work for me when I tried it this year. Which bummed me out b/c it seemed right up my alley!

Sad to say, I will be returning mine. The primer was okay, the under eye concealer didn't work for me, and I had to use a lot of make up to get comparable coverage to BE. the concealer was too moisturizing or something, as my mascara ended up melting and giving me a raccoon eye. After the way the presenters raved about the brushes I was very disappointed, they seemed really skimpy. I like the long wear of BE, but was hoping to find something that doesn't settle into my fine lines like BE is starting to do. Michele

Michelle, I know what you mean about the raccoon eyes. I have the same problem, I juts don't know how to make it stop.

If anyone has any ideas I'll take them

I tried the original celebration foundation when it first came out and thought it felt too powdery & rough on, I thought I would love it too but it didn't work for me. I thought this newer version might be better because of seeing all of the good youtube reviews, so I tried it again. I do like it better, however I think it irritated my skin. The Hello Lashes irritated my eyes too. I've not had good luck with it cosmetics, even though everything looks like it would be so good!

Try using less, you barely need any. I tried the concealer awhile back and liked it, except it stayed too tacky/oily when on so I returned it, but I think I was using too much. Now trying it in the TSV after seeing youtube reviews, you need very little to provide coverage. I like it better than I originally did, but I think I prefer Serious Skin Care's CC Eye, it works really well for me and a little goes a long way.
