Re: IT Confidence in a Compact

IT Confidence in a Compact was my favorite, too! I was so bummed when it was discontinued. I'm on my last compact, but have no clue if there is another brand that is similar.

@SurferWife I think MAC may still have a powder foundation in a compact.

@Shanus , Confidence in a Compact was a cream/balm type of foundation. I too used it and liked it until my tastes ran toward more light coverage. It was great for travel. You can still find some "new" compacts (by now at least a year old) on ebay, but the current going prices are in the $70-$80 range! No thanks! I can get a Dior cushion for that!

Kevin Aucoin makes a similar type foundation, but I'm not sure the price.

I've been searching & it looks like there are 2 others that may be a good match.

MAC Studio Tech is a creamy foundation in a compact

Cover Fix Cream Foundation is in a compact

I have never heard of Cover Fix, but it looks promising. I know & trust MAC so I may stop by the MAC store next time I'm in town. I have no idea if I can even test it or touch it for that matter. I may have to buy it without testing it, which is a bummer.

i have at least two different compacts from IT that could be refilled. now, i cannot find refills anywhere other than a few on ebay or amazon where they are charging an arm and a leg.

Confidence in a Compact was also my favorite and I've purchased replacements from eBay. Brand new, in my color (Light) and although I've not paid more than $60 I've bought two from eBay successfully since Q stopped carrying it. Frustrating as heck when these products are discontinued. I've tried IT's powder compacts and they highlight every nook and cranny on my face. No thanks! I don't want to pay too much for it either, but I'll keep trying to get it until I find something better. Frankly tho, I'm not as inamored with IT as I used to be.... small portions and higher prices make me wince.

@SurferWife I alternate between the IT Confidence in a Compact and Merle Normal Expert Finish Compact. The Merle Norman has a SPF 25. It has always been my favorite until I found IT.

It's a cream to powder in a compact, easy and quick to apply and it isn't drying.

I guess I'll be going to Merle Norman because I really don't care for the powder foundation.

I was just on the MAC website & they have a new cream to powder foudation. It looks like I might like it, but I want to go to the MAC store & try it on. Hopefully I can.

Just a heads up...the Bye Bye Redness Powder has been discontinued too & only the Porcelain is available on the IT website. I really like it, just a little & my redness is covered...my color is sold out everywhere.

@kitcat51 Well dang! What's going on with IT? My daughter is a true redhead with a ruddy complexion. She really like the Bye Bye Redness Powder. She will be disappointed.
