Re: Is IT Celebration Foundation much different than Laura Gellar Balance & Brighten?

I thought I would like Celebration. I tried it at Ulta, and it looked very cakey and dry on me. Plus, the color was off.

I use B & B and I get much better results.

Is it possible to actually go to a cosmetics counter or store and try several and see what works better for you?

I wish that was possible! But I live in a rural area where the closest makeup counter or Sephora is 3 hrs away...which stinks for me! Thanks for your input on IT.

I like B & B very much. Nice light coverage, not dry or cakey for me.

Thanks for all your responses. It's surprising to hear the IT was drying on the skin for so many. When it's presented they always talk about how great it is for all skin. I will pass until I get to somewhere I can try it at a counter. You all really helped me out!

I not only love listening to Laura more on air but like her products more. Jamie talks way too fast she says the exact thing every time she's on air. I've stopped listening to her and buying from her line.

Hello Kittymama - Sasha is my kitty child!

I have been using B & B maybe 10 years . . . when I need more coverage I dip a clean eye shadow brush on the powder and dab on the area on my face which then helps to provide more coverage.

I have both. IT offers more coverage for me. Application is different too. LG BB can be applied with either a sponge or brush....but, I find that the IT foundation is brush only, a sponge just doesn't apply it evenly.


Actually, the celebration compact (which is black) comes with a sponge. It's in the other compartment. I use the sponge to blend in my bye bye eyes (btw, which I could never use as a complete foundation as it is way too thick).
