Love It Cosmetics

By Kathy, North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

I am already a lover of the Your Face But Better foundation and was looking for something to wear when I didn't want as much coverage. I ordered the intro set, received it, LOVED it, but cancelled further shipments, only because I didn't need the kit every time. As for not being able to order only the foundation, YES YOU CAN. It is available on the itcosmetics.com website. Since I began using their products, my skin is in much better shape. I never feel as if it is heavy and I can use as much or as little as I want. The Bye Bye Foundation is great for those days that you want a little coverage. I use it on my workout days. Stays on through an hour of serious sweating

I also started using Rodan and Fields skin regime and now the makeup looks even better. I don't understand the negative comments about the product or customer service. I have never encountered a problem with either. I also love the fact that I can purchase It Cosmetics from QVC on Easy Pay. Great way to stock up.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I'm impressed

By Eileen, California, Verified Reviewer

I bought this on an impulse at Ulta because of the gift with purchase. I would never buy makeup online unless it was something I've used previously and I refrain from anything that auto ships. I grabbed the light foundation and light concealer and the gift included nice sized samples of the concealer, eyebrow pencil, and mascara. There were also little packets of the foundation and a moisturizer. First time I used it I was impressed. I am 56 and have relatively good skin but its super sensitive and for some reason, most foundations do not go on smoothly.

I've used everything from drugstore brands to high-end foundations. I've tried mineral, cremes, BB, CC you name it. I've tried brushes, sponges, airbrush, my fingers, everything with not so great results. The first time I used the IT foundation, I used a foundation brush and sponge and really took my time. I was happy with the coverage and my skin looked moist and smooth. Next day I was in a rush and put the foundation on just my moisturizer: one pump in the palm of my hand rub my hands together and pat the foundation into my skin. The result was wonderfully even and no streaks. This is now my preferred method. You could not tell I had foundation on.

Now as for improving my skin, I can't say it has made any significant improvements but it doesn't irritate and it comes off easily with makeup remover oil and micellar cleanser.

I like the concealer but I think it is too light for skin and I ended up using it for highlighting (older skin you want to stay away from shiny or glittery so this works well). I absolutely LOVE the eyebrow pencil. It's blade shaped and the consistency is ideal for someone with sparse brows like mine. It's easy to apply and goes on light and looks natural. I haven't used the mascara or moisturizer yet so can't comment on those. I would recommend this product line if you have sensitive mature skin and want full coverage. I strongly suggest going into a store and testing it, even getting your face done before investing $35.00 for the tube.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very cynical

By Amber, Miami, FL, Verified Reviewer

This review is quite cynical about every single aspect. The only two points that were valid were the "clinically shown" and not depending on the foundation for sun coverage. The company does clearly state however that it's a moisturizer that serves as a foundation, not the other way around. But do also use your own sunscreen just in case you're not getting the adequate amount of protection you need.

The claim about the autoship program is what really convinced me this was a very biased 'review'. Autoship programs are used for virtually all skin care and cosmetics products not available in stores. The terms of trial offers include automatic enrollment in the program. For example, I purchased the Luminess Air Airbrushing system using the trial offer and I was automatically enrolled in the auto renewal of the Luminess Air foundation. I'm also automatically enrolled in Murad skin care products. I stayed enrolled because I love the products and obviously need more product when I've used up mine. But I changed the frequency of shipments according to how often I'd need new product, and still I can postpone shipment for as long as I want If I don't need it at the time by calling. It is the same with IT cosmetics. Easily cancel the "autoship" program by calling customer service, or change the frequency of shipments to meet your needs.

Delighted to have found it!

By Claudia, New York, Verified Reviewer

After seeing an ad and watching a video on YouTube, I bought the IT Bye Bye Redness on Ebay. New, unopened, original package, for much less than anywhere online.

I am a pretty young-looking "over 65". You need the tiniest dab over a few parts of the face. I used a brush. And it covers redness, irregular coloring, gives a smooth, uniform look, and lasts all day.

I have tried so many products through the years and have never been so satisfied with a product.

Having bought it on eBay, I cannot vouch for the company's service.

Best product I have ever found at 66 years old.

By Dana Luedtke, Lafayette, CA, Verified Reviewer

This product is amazing. I am 66 and have never worn much makeup because it's too thick. The Bye Bye products are fantastic. I will send you a before and after picture if you like. I'm sold.

I love IT!

By Pam E., Washington DC, Verified Reviewer

I haven't purchased the Bye Bye foundation yet, but I will be. I received the Bye Bye under eye cream/concealer and I have purchased other IT products directly from Ulta and I love IT!

My mission was to find a full coverage foundation with a higher than usual SPF (usually 15 or 20).

I have really sun-sensitive skin and am often in a rush in the mornings. The lovely sales rep directed me to IT. I tried putting it on with my fancy foundation brushes. But I actually like the way IT looks when just putting IT on with my fingers, like a moisturizer.

Currently, I have the CC cream. But at $35 per tube, the online product is a steal at $39.95 considering all the other goodies. I'm definitely going to be giving this a try. And I should mention that I have acne scars, freckles, rosacea, you name it. I can't say it enough: I love IT!

And I have actually braved the outdoors without my usual sunscreen and, no sunburn!

So, the SPF is doing something! But, I'll continue to use my usual SPF on a daily basis. I just won't freak out if I forget. You can get a "deluxe sample" of the CC cream at Ulta for $12. DEFINITELY worth the try.

I bought the Bye Bye pores powder, I love it! And the awesome gentleman at the checkout counter, I asked for a "good sample" to go with, and he gave me a sample of the Bye Bye dark circles under-eye cream. Again, I love it. It takes just a TINY TINY bit. I haven't even put a dent in the sample.

I can imagine the full tube will last quite a while. And the CC cream SMELLS AMAZING, like citrus! A really energizing scent to go along with the early sleepy mornings.

A+ all the way!

The best foundation

By Cindy, Ohio, Verified Reviewer

Purchased this product via Trial Offer. Loved the product but do not like the way it is marketed. It is light and covers beautifully without fail. It does make your face look natural and flawless.

As an RN in a plastic surgery office, I have patients who have commented on my even skin tone. Suffering from Malaise (hyperpigmentation), this foundation covers completely without feeling heavy or drying.

However, the auto delivery system is quick to charge and when attempting to cancel, the operator told me discontinuation and refund would take 8-10 weeks to correct. Was continually charge 49.95 and took many phone calls and frustrating customer services to resolve.

Please consider purchasing at Sephora or Ulta on an as needed basis. Price is the same and you do not have more than you need.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Finally a product I love!

By Cheryl, Fitchburg, Massachusetts, Verified Reviewer

I have been purchasing this product on QVC. No, I'm not forced into auto-shipments, I actually use "easy-pay" and make two or three payments over the course of a few months.

http://www.qvc.com/IT-Cosmetics-Full-Coverage-SPF-50-CC-Cream-Illumination-w-Plush-Brush.product.A266440.html?sc=NAVLIST

I absolutely love the full coverage SPF 50 CC cream Illumination with the plush brush! I love the coverage and only use one pump on the back of my hand and the great brush that was sent to use to apply the product. The Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder is ok, but my favorite product to use is the Je Ne Sais Quoi Luminizer. My skin has a glow, and I feel so pretty.

I also use the mascara and lip gloss. Love all of the products!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Do yourself a favor and try this product!

By Stephanie, Illinois, Verified Reviewer

I tried this product after watching the infomercial because it really appeared to have everything I was looking for. I cannot stress enough how pleased I was (and still am) with IT cosmetics!

I wash my face with my Clarisonic, use a light serum, and then apply my Bye Bye Foundation and my skin looks amazing! It takes so little to do the job too. I think perhaps the people who didn't like it applied too much or did not apply it properly. In the event that I do need a concealer, the IT concealer is truly amazing. It needs to be used VERY sparingly for best results, though. And it really does stay on all day. In fact, when I don't wash my face at night, the next morning, the previous day's makeup still looks good enough for a trip to the grocery store, etc.

The bottom line is, this stuff works! This is the first review I have ever written in my life, but after reading the negative reviews, I felt it was my responsibility to let everyone know that it really is a great product.

I think the problem with some of the negative reviewers was a bad experience with the auto-ship (which I canceled immediately after receiving my kit, just because I can buy it online at the same price and I don't like auto-ships) or perhaps a wrong color choice? I really can't imagine anyone NOT loving these products!

I will say this: the Bye Bye Foundation and concealer ROCKS. I do think the shades run a bit dark, so I recommend buying a shade lighter. The powder works very well as long as it is the right shade. I personally use the translucent no color Bye-Bye Pores powder purchased at Sephora. The blush/bronzer/color wheel was ok, as was the mascara, about like any other higher end product, but nothing as amazing as the Foundation. I did not care for the lip balm because I like more color.

So, ordering the kit is a great deal to try it, but I would cancel right away and buy the full-size products at Sephora, where you can test the shades, and buy only what you love.

Sometimes, especially in summer, I will mix a dab of the waterproof concealer with any moisturizer, and it gives me GREAT coverage when I don't want to wear a lot of makeup.

In conclusion, the foundation, concealer, and powder (in the proper shade) are LIFE CHANGING! I have used those three products since the day I got that first little trial kit, and that was three years ago. It's a great thing, girls, and actually a great deal, because you use such minimal amounts of the products, they last a long, long time.

Also, FYI, they sell it on QVC (full sizes, not the trial sizes) and often have specials, including easy pay, and they have a liberal return policy. I bought a "super size" of the concealer offered only on QVC over a year ago, and I have not even used half of it!

I hope this testimony helps someone out there looking for that one, lifetime foundation/concealer/powder, because I will never go another day without it!

Bought from Ulta

By Alise, Connecticut, Verified Reviewer

After seeing the infomercial, I was intrigued. I did some research and noticed that I could buy the foundation at Ulta. If you purchase the kit online, you are charged when you order, including two additional installments that add up over $150 over three months, until you are shipped a new kit (installment charges are then taken the same way as the original kit was.) I don't know about you, but I don't need that much makeup (in the kit) every three months, plus that is really expensive!

At Ulta, this can be purchased for $38. The product is in a plastic pouch that has a pump. The pump is easy to use, two pumps covered my entire face. The color "fair" matched me perfectly. It was not cakey and blended very well without looking like I was wearing makeup. It covered my dark circles, acne and red spots on my face ALL day. It is silky but not oily (I have combination skin.) My face felt hydrated all day. It did not break my face out, which is great since many products do after the first use because I have sensitive skin.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best makeup ever

By Monique, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I'm 49 years old with a lot of hyperpigmentation because I have suntanned for over 30 years. These products are by far the best I have used. I use her whole line of products, and people are shocked when I tell them I'm turning 50!
