Re: IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation Now Available

This flex dealie that is in the concealer supposedly prevents it from creasing. Notice how she's always crinkling her eyes to show that it moves and doesn't crack. I think BBUE is quite good in that regard -- not perfect, but hey.

What I'm not sure is whether it's crucial in an all-over foundation. But my main problem is the ridiculously sparse shade selection. As it is, I compromise with BBUY, using the Tan ("warm medium" because there's nothing in between it and Neutral Medium.

Re: IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation Now Available

Wow. This is one of the most expensive foundations on the market. The CC cream is great, but if the foundation is the CC cream plus some mystery gimmicky ingredient, I can't see it being worth an extra $30 for an ounce of foundation!

Yikes. Well I took one for the team and ordered the G-R set, which should come next week, so I'll know soon how good it is or isn't. I sure hope I don't end up loving this stuff!!

If anyone is going to spend $65 on foundation (not that this is necessary to get a quality product), it would be a good idea to do some comparison shopping. Chanel, Dior, Tom Ford....Most foundations in this price range come in 15-20 shades.

Re: IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation Now Available

Man alive, that is pricey foundation. I would stick with the CC cream, as I'm not sure this 3D flex thing is worth it, although I've obviously not tried it. I'm sorry, but you can buy some really high end foundations for that price. And I agree with pas4116, you could get a perfect (or near perfect) match in some other foundations for that price!! I'll pass.....

Re: IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation Now Available

Ok, just receieved an answer. I will re-type their response, verbatim. Just as a preface, I also asked whether the coverage is sheer/buildable, as the description states, or full, as the product name suggests. I will list the ingredients in a separate post, as this one will be long enough!

"Hi!! Thank you for your email! We are more than happy to help you with this today and we are so sorry for any confusion about this. Where did you see this description as this is not correct. It is full coverage!

Bye Bye Foundation on our website is the same size as the CC Cream! On TryITnow.com, the sizes differ!

IT is all about the 3D SkinFlex technology that makes these items different from our exisiting CC Cream and Bye Bye Under Eye - 3D SkinFlex Technology is proprietary to IT Cosmetics and it's only available in Bye Bye Foundation and Bye Bye Concealer. This exclusive high-performance technology has multiple skincare and coverage benefits and works to deliver serious results and flawless skin in one!"

Then it goes on to list the ingredients and return policy.

Re: IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation Now Available

I have been using their foundation for months. I bought it from QVC. I really like it. You'd never know it by looking at me but I wear the fairest color there is of EVERY foundation sold (I know, it surprises me too).

I've used and like Laura Geller, Mally and too many other's to bore you. However, my most recent like/love is IT.

Re: IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation Now Available

Ok, sorry, I would love to type the ingredients for you all, but that list is WAY longer than it first appeared. It would take me all night to type! I'll list the first few, so you know what it has most of:

Titanium Dioxide 9.015%, Zinc Oxide 6.305%, Water, Snail Secretion Filtrate, Butylene Glycol, Phenyl Trimethicone, Dimethicone, Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil, and LOTS more.

As I stated in my post, CS told me it is the exact same ingredients as in the CC cream except with the 3d flex technology "infused" in it. So all someone needs to do is look at the CC ingredients and they will get the gist.

Re: IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation Now Available

It would probably be better if you tried (key word tried) to contact the manufacturer and see what's in it.
