Re: IT TSV: Review

ginabfly · ‎05-02-2013

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.

Thank you! I will try that!
