It cosmetics CC cream vs TARTE! Help!!

Hi beauties! I am tempted to get the new IT cosmetics CC cream March 10 TSV. I have TARTE BB creams, TARTE amazon foundations in brown tube Unused from TSV auto deliveries, PoNDS BB cream and other makeup. I do not need more makeup. Please help. I am trying not to get new IT TSV, but looks nice. Many good reviews.

I was just reading the reviews on the It CC cream at various sites and it gets great reviews everywhere. I can't give an opinion on Tarte though. Sorry. I'm going to get it but not sure on the color. They have it at Ulta so I may go over there today to check out the colors in person.

I have 2 tubes of the IT CC cream I purchased from the IT friend and family sale a couple of months back. I am using a 3rd tube up now. I would like to buy the new TSV tomorrow but realize that it will be too much to have on hand, something will go bad before I get to use it. I will pass on tomorrows deal, the other items really dont do anything for me. I had the tightline from another TSV, meh... I could not achieve the results others have with it. I am not a lippie person either. I use my fingers to apply the CC cream now, it looks great! I don't need another brush. If I didn't have the surplus of product now I would not hesitate to purchase.

Paula's review on Beautypedia dot com says that although IT's CC cream is a beautiful formula it has MANY irritants in in so she can't recommend it.

Re: It cosmetics CC cream vs TARTE! Help!!

I really love the IT CC cream and can comment on using the Tarte BB Primer and trying the Ponds you mentioned. I haven't use any Tarte foundations though.

For me the IT CC cream is superior for a few reasons. I love the all physical spf 50 and the fresh faced finish it provides. It's not too dewy but its not matte either - more like a satin finish to me. My skin leans dry and this does not accentuate any dryness. It covers beautifully and I don't need a huge amount.

The Tarte BB Primer is similar to the IT CC cream as far as coverage but it is way more drying on my skin than the IT one. It also leaves my skin looking a bit "flat" due to the drying effect. If you like a more matte appearance you may wish to keep using the Tarte BB Primer.

The Ponds BB cream has a nice appearance on the skin - maybe even a bit dewier than the IT CC cream but provides no where near the coverage IMO.

Hope that helps you decide. I did really like the Tarte BB Primer but the dryness is what prompted me to try the IT CC cream. And for me, I absolutely love the all physical spf 50 the IT CC cream offers. HTH
