That rose tint Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Lip Treatment in the upcoming TSV turns my lips an odd pink. It was in a kit last year and I don't want it again, or the illuminated bye bye pores powder. Wish it was the original, like the CC cream. I would like the rest of the kit, but not sure if I'll buy.

@KarenaJeannettewhat lip product is included in the TSV?  IT Cosmetics Vitality Flush Reviver Color Stain Stick ,  IT Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi Color Awakening Hydrating Lip Treatment, and Je Ne Sais Quoi Lip Treatment all contain the exact same ingredients in the exact same order.

 

I can see that the packaging and name have changed. Is that what you are referring to? Or is it a new product with totally different formulation?

Gee, for a cosmetic company who boasts that 'they bring very few items to market' due to 'their years in formulating products until they're just right' - they sure do have many (too many IMO) products, some so very similar to the next.  Just my observation....

@Porcelain The Je Ne Sais Quoi Awakening Hydrating Lip Treatment, which is in the TSV, is contrasted with the Vitality Flush Reviver Color Stain Stick and the (same product in a smaller tube) JNSQ Hydrating Lipstick Stain, in that the pigment is far less pronounced in the Awakening Hydrating Lip Treatment. I have all three and now avoid the Vitality Flush Reviver Color Stain Stick and JNSQ Hydrating Lipstick Stain because one application is fine, but repeated applications result in a horrible bright pink stain, whereas that bright pink stain never happens with the Hydrating Lip Treatment. That key distinction is addressed in the product video by Jamie at 1:35. http://www.qvc.com/IT-Cosmetics-Je-Ne-Sais-Quoi-Color-Awakening-Hydrating-Lip-Treatment-Duo.product....

@KarenaJeannetteThanks for the info! Nice to hear from someone with the inside scoop. Less hot pink stain will appeal to many. I can imagine it must be difficult to get the pigment balance right.

I wear Light Medium Neutral in Tarte Rainforest of the Sea.  It is a near-perfect match.  Any recommendations for which shade CC Cream I should order?

I would go for the light. I wear the light neutral in the tarte and the light in CC cream. I think you could probably use either but I would go with the light. It's always easier to work with something a tad light then a tad dark. The light is pretty much light medium.

Is there a TSV coming up on this, or did I miss it?  I looked at the program guide and I don't see anything in the near future.
