Today Only! IT Cosmetics IT's All About You! Customer Favorites Collection #ITsAllAboutYou

Press Sample

I LOVE QVC TSV’s when they involve IT Cosmetics!  I purchased the last one myself because I didn’t have the chance to review it.  Lucky for me, I did have a chance to review THIS TSV, and it’s an amazing value at $59.95… but that price is for TODAY only!

IT's All About You! Customer Favorites Collection Includes:

• 0.30-oz Celebration Foundation SPF 50, in choice of Fair, Light, Medium, Tan, and Rich
• 0.28-fl-oz Bye Bye Under Eye concealer
• 0.78-oz IT's Your Beauty Palette, including Vitality Matte Bronzer, Hello Light Creme, Bye Bye Pores Pressed Blush, and Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder
• Dual-ended foundation/concealer brush

I have tried everything in the collection, and I have to say the standouts are the Celebration Foundation SPF 50 and the The IT's Your Beauty palette.  As I have said before, the only powder foundations I wear are IT Cosmetics, and I love the addition of SPF in this hydrating, full-coverage powder foundation!

The IT's Your Beauty palette includes skin-perfecting products. Vitality Matte Bronzer gives the look of warmth to your skin with a talc-free hydrating powder. Hello Light Creme provides the look of light and lift. Bye Bye Pores Pressed Blush helps blur the look of imperfections across your cheeks while adding a beautiful flush of naturally pretty color. And Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder will give your skin the look of airbrushed perfection and treat your skin to anti-aging ingredients.

For those of you wondering how the blush compares to IT’s other face palettes, I have swatched them for you below.

I have to say, the majority of the cosmetics I apply on a day to day basis are from IT Cosmetics, and I am so happy to have these new pieces in my arsenal!

Will you be trying today’s TSV from IT Cosmetics?

Coming Soon: OPI for Coca-Cola 2015

Affiliate Links

OPI is following up last year’s highly coveted OPI Coca-Cola Collection with the Icons of Happiness Collection for Summer 2015.  This collection will include 6 repromotes from last Summer plus two brand new shades inspired by the iconic Coca-Cola bottle, which is celebrating it’s 100 year anniversary!

New for this year are Centennial Silver, a shimmering pewter and Visions of Georgia Green, a sparkling green inspired by the classic Coca-Cola bottle.  Sadly my favorite shade from last, Green on the Runway, is not making a comeback this time around – though it’s currently available RIGHT NOW on HSN with FREE SHIPPING, along with both new shades from this collection!

The shades that are returning are You’re So Vain-illa, a sweet, creamy nude; Coca-Cola Red, the iconic red that’s always in style; My Signature is “DC,” a glimmering silver; Sorry I’m Fizzy Today, a smooth and creamy pink; Get Cherried Away, an over-the-top black cherry; A Grape Affair, a deep, dark purple.  You can see my review and swatches of last year’s collection here.  

Don’t forget to check out my comparison post to see if you already have a dupe!

The Icons of Happiness Collection for Summer 2015 is available June now at select professional salons and on HSN.  Don’t forget, HSN has FREE SHIPPING on these polishes!  Individual shades retail for $9.50, and they also a duo with both new shades and a 10 piece gift set of mini polishes!

What’s In My Kate Spade Aurelia Court Jessmin?

Purchased by Me Affiliate Links

Yes, you are reading this right, I am posting to my poor neglected blog!  Today I am sharing a “what’s in my bag?” post with you as part of The Beauty Spotlight Team.  Each week the ladies from the BST are sharing the nitty gritty of the insides of their bags with you!  If you love these kinds of posts, make sure to check out these previous posts: 

Pammy – What’s In My Mommy Bag?

Lola – What’s In My Yves Saint Laurent Tribute Tote?

Christine – What’s in my Gucci Sukey Original GG Canvas Tote?

Sunny – What’s In My Rebecca Minkoff Cupid?

Marcia – What’s In My Stella & Dot?

Back to my bag!  I am currently carrying around my Kate Spade Aurelia Court Jessmin.  I wanted something lightweight and fun for Spring, so when this bag was returned BNWT at my store I snatched it up right away!  I knew it was fate, because I already owned Literary Pencil Pouch that matched perfectly!

In my bag I always have:  my Kate Spade pencil pouch (pens, phone charger, lipgloss, etc), my Kate Spade Wellesley (more on that below!), my wallet and sunglasses (I just switched back to these).  My iPhone 6 Plus fits perfectly in the inside phone pockets!

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I am really into planners lately!  Back in February I really fell out of love with blogging.  It felt like a full time job on top of my full time job!  My husband and I were not spending as much time together as I would have liked, because I was always in my room swatching, editing, writing, or trying to find more ways to promote and monetize this blog.  My depression went from bad to worse.  One day I decided to give myself a one month break and walk away. 

Two things happened after I stopped blogging – I got bronchitis and I discovered the planner community.  To be honest, I am not sure which happened first!  My bronchitis was actually very bad and I have missed several days of work over the past two months.  When I did go to work, I didn’t wear makeup and I certainly didn’t do my nails.  Every time I think I am getting better, it knocks me on my ass again!  So I have had a lot of time to order stickers and make pretty dashboards for my planner.

I am still conflicted on coming back to blogging.  If I do, it’s only going to be for fun.  I don’t want to worry about sponsored posts, page views, or blogging networks.  I am going to leave this blog up, and I am going to leave my Google Adsense on it, because TBH I need to pay off all the planners I have bought!

Last week I gave myself a manicure for the first time since February.  I even posted two NOTD’s on Instagram.  Does that mean I am back to blogging?  I am still undecided.  But atleast I feel good enough to care about what I look like again!

I am not sure how many of you are interested in the planner community.  If you have questions or want details about what I have shared today, leave them in the comments.  I may write another post.  I may just respond to your questions.  We’ll see.
