Eye and Face of the Day

I have really been trying to break out of the "neutral" and "taupe" eye looks lately and do something a little more fun with my eye makeup. I had a meeting with a local company but this is an easy teal eye that is a little more interesting but isnt too in your face.

I used the Wet-n-Wild Blue had me at hello palette and took the bright turquoise color and put it all over the lid over Nars smudgeproof eye primer. I then took a little MAC kid and put a little in my crease just to help blend the color. I used a little of MAC contrast and Urban Decay's tease eyeshadows in the crease and blended it all out. My brown and inner corner highlight was Urban Decay "bootycall". I used a liquid Nars teal eyeliner on my upper lashline and the top lashline and topped the lashes off with Mally volumizing mascara.

The rest of my face is pretty neutral. Here is a list of products that I used in case you want to try and recreate it. - Hourglass mineral veil primer - IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye - Hourglass Immaculate foundation - Smashbox halo powder - IT Cosmetics bronzer - IT cosmetics blush stain in the Live, Laugh, Love face disk - Mally gloss in Mally's baby Have you been doing a "different" look for the summer?

IT is here!!!

I was literally almost squealing yesterday when the UPS man dropped of my IT cosmetics TSV. I am part of a beauty obsessed awesome group on facebook and all I kept hearing about was how amazing this kit was. Well, the hype is all SOOO true! Let's start with the basics, shall we?

The 5 piece It cosmetics kit will air this Friday July 27th on QVC. It comes with 2 shipping options either the single shipment or autodelivery. I of course signed up for autodelivery because I just had to get more of this stuff :) Here is the breakdown of the products included: Vitality Anti-Aging Face Disk Jumbo Heavenly Luxe Face Brush Super size tube of Bye Bye Under Eye (in your choice of color) Vitality Lip flush 4-in-1 Anti-Aging Lipstick Stain Double ended foundation and concealer luxe brush Everything in this kit blew me away. The brushes are incredibly soft and feel like silk on your skin.

The double ended brush is awesome for concealer under your eyes and you can use the bigger end for foundation, concealer or to buff anything out on your face. I may actually try that end in my beloved Mally cream blushes tomorrow as it looks to be the perfect size for that! The powder brush is so luxe and fantastic.

I used it for my powder today and for my bronzer and I couldnt have been more happy with how it distributed the product evenly and effortlessly on my skin. Bye Bye Under Eye has a cult following and I can 100% understand why. This stuff is seriously awesome. Its creamy and hydrating yet opaque and does not budge once it sets. I picked up the color medium and it is a perfect match for my skin. This color does run a tad light for "medium" shade so if you have a good tan going on you may want to get the shade darker. Here it is swatched on my hand and rubbed out a little so you can see the coverage.

The face disk has already become a favorite of mine and I know it will be going everywhere with me while traveling. It is HUGE and weighs in at over 22 grams- that is alot of product. Half of the disk is a gorgeous matte bronzer and the other half is split into 2 sections. The bottom has a blush "stain" which some people have compared to Nars Orgasm. I don't think that is an accurate comparison and I prefer this blush shade and consistency over Orgasm, it is on the pinker side and is incredibly smooth and buttery to apply. A little goes along way with this shade so you don'e need to pile this on the brush to get it to show up well on your skin. don't let any of the colors in the face disk scare you away from buying it. The bronzer is the perfect color and is buildable if you need it darker and the highlighter along with the blush is amazing as well. 10 out of 10 on this one for sure! I couldn't think of anything to add to this to make it better.

Last but not least is the lip stain in the shade Je Ne Sais Quoi. When I first opened the tube I was pretty shocked to see that the color was almost clear. After it was applied it morphed into the gorgeous brighter pink shade that was so moisturizing it almost felt like a lip balm. I am a nude lip girl so this will probably be going to my mom but I will be ordering the shade Damsel in this formulation as it is their "nude" shade and I am sure it will be gorgeous on! If you like a pink lip this one is certainly for you! All in all this is a great value. The brushes alone are worth more than the price of the whole kit! It sells for $59.94 and the item number for a single shipment is A226577. If you want it on autodelivery the number is A228718. I ordered the fan brush and a different bronzer from QVC already and I will review that once it is here. I also will be ordering their celebration foundation with brush this week as I cannot get enough of this brand and their products. Let me know if you have any IT cosmetics suggestions or if you ordered the TSV. I can't wait to hear more reviews on it!
