It Cosmetics CC+ Your Most Beautiful Skin! Skin Perfecting Essentials Collection QVC TSV 7/27/18

Its the most beautiful time of the year if your an It Cosmetics lover like me or if your new, its the perfect time to dive in and try out the latest from It Cosmetics. Several times a year It Cosmetics comes to QVC with their best value of the day or the Today's Special Value. That means starting at 12AM on July 27, 2018 and for that day only you can buy the It Cosmetics CC+ Your Most Beautiful Skin! Skin Perfecting Essentials Collection. This is a 3 piece collection that contains two brand new products. I am beyond thrilled to share with you what is in the collection and why I love everything so much. I have been using everything for more than 2 weeks now and this is a TSV you cannot miss. This is currently on sale for $49.20 retails for $121.00 is available in 12 shades (my shade is medium) and for that price I am buying one additional one for myself and two as gifts.  Read on to learn more and shop here to purchase. It is item number A310436 (hint hint presale happing right now July 23, 2018)
These are my everyday must haves since it arrived! It Cosmetics are the best TSV's QVC offers! Shop Item #A310436 before it sells out!

According to It Cosmetics, "this exclusive three-piece collection features two new CC+ complexion must-haves—one that’s your best-selling favorite, now in a matte finish, and one that’s your skin-perfecting powder— plus, a revolutionary brush for flawless application. While CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 delivers full, natural-looking matte coverage, skincare and SPF 40 UVA/UVB broad-spectrum sunscreen, CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder with SPF 50+ helps diffuse and color-correct the look of imperfections. Both of these innovations pair perfectly with your included Heavenly Skin CC+ Skin-Perfecting Brush No. 702 for your most beautiful finish!" That is how It Cosmetics explains this TSV I call it a miracle for anyone with acne, oily skin or if you have larger pores. Of course this is for all skin types but if you are someone like me with acne prone oily skin than you have been waiting for this forever and now you have the best of the best that It Cosmetics offers. Shop Item Number: A310436
As always the It Cosmetics TSV's come packaged perfectly and with two additional samples for you to try out! 

I was so thrilled to have the CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 and when I applied it with the Heavenly Skin CC+ Skin-Perfecting Brush No. 702 I was so happy that it was a matte formula. My oily skin tends to get worse if something is to high in the SPF range I never use anything past SPF 50 but the SPF 40 in this formula is perfect. I used one pump for my entire face and every flaw and my dark circles disappeared from view. It didn't feel like a heavy foundation that I could wait to take off. Now if that wasn't good enough included in the It Cosmetics CC+ Your Most Beautiful Skin! Skin Perfecting Essentials Collection is the new CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder with SPF 50+ and when I dusted this on my face it truly color corrected my imperfections making old acne scars disappear and the redness was gone. I love to apply a light dusting of this over my CC+ Oil Free Matte and some days I just used the Perfecting Powder for light coverage I did a light dusting but I want to note that you can build this up to full coverage and it looks amazing. I also must mention that the powder has SPF 50+ which is awesome and I reach for this all the time. When you use the No. 702 brush with these two must haves you makeup will go on as if a professional makeup artist did your makeup. It truly makes the makeup just glide on evenly. I swear by It Cosmetics brushes. The TSV from It Cosmetics for July 27, 2018 is a must have. I adore it and use it every single day. Its a miracle for my skin type and I give it a 5 $$$$$ along with EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Shop QVC.com to purchase but remember this is on sale for one day only! Just a reminder my links are live and you can purchase right now during the presale starting July 23, 2018! HAPPY SHOPPING!

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Bronzer

#BeautyBagDolls and #ITGirls I am so happy to have my hands on the new It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Bronzer. I am a girl who loves bronzer and during the summer months its important to give yourself a safe tan which is why I love the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Bronzer. This bronzer is giving you a beautiful sun kissed look while giving your skin a poreless airbrush finish. I must mention it in the shade Beach and it smells like a coconut which to me smells like the beach. Read on to learn more.
You can apply Bye Bye Pores Bronzer and look like you had a day at the beach! I love It Cosmetics!

It Cosmetics always makes my favorite bronzer and Sunshine in A Compact  has been the one I have used over and over again. Hitting then pan finishing and purchasing again. When It Cosmetics came out with Bye Bye Pores Bronzer I thought what an amazing concept making my favorite Bye Bye Pores powder into a bronzer. Some background information according to It Cosmetics is that it is "developed with plastic surgeons, Bye Bye Pores Bronzer is your revolutionary bronzing finishing veil that airbrushes away the look of pores while adding instant sun-kissed warmth to your skin. Infused with Bye Bye Pores Optical Blurring Technology and real silk, this talc-free, oil-free bronzer is designed to glide over your skin without settling into lines or pores and diffuse the look of imperfections for your most flawless glow. The universally flattering shade also features coconut extract for essential moisture and a refreshing sensorial experience, plus anti-aging collagen, hyaluronic acid, peptides and vitamins A, C, and E. Wear on bare skin or over your favorite complexion products, as your all-over bronzer, for your features but better." I am so in love with this bronzer it is something I dust on and it adds the perfect sun kissed look to my face and neck. I can also contour with it if I am in a hurry and it makes me look on point. I am in love with the outcome of this bronzer and each time I open it I smile because it smells amazing! This bronzer is a beauty bag must have. I love It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Bronzer and give it a 5 $$$$$ along with EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

It Cosmetics Miracle Water 3-in1 Glow Tonic

#ITGirls #ITGuys and #BeautyBagDolls I am so thrilled to be bringing you a review of the It Cosmetics Miracle Water.  Right now my skincare routine is dominated by It Cosmetics products for a good reason. They are just suburb. The It Cosmetics Miracle Water is just as good as I imagine it to be. Read on to learn more.
Add this simple step from It Cosmetics and your skin will be glowing!

I am so happy to tell you that this is such a must have in your beauty routine morning and night! This has changed my skin for the better. I immediately noticed that my skin was brighter and softer.  There is not other product like this on the market. I have tried toners and other micellar waters but this one takes the grand prize. It doesn't leave your skin feeling tight, dry or stinging like others on the market. Instead it is filled with ingredients like "anti-aging peptides, hydrolyzed collagen, rose, aloe, rice, chamomile, green tea water, licorice root and vitamin C." The It Cosmetics Miracle Water 3-in-1 Glow Tonic also "combines a skin-brightening radiance booster to enhance radiance, a potent anti-aging treatment essence to reduce the look of lines and wrinkles and restore skin's appearance, and a skin-softening micellar cleanser to gently remove dirt, oil, impurities, and all traces of makeup in one simple step. Perfect for all skin types, this groundbreaking tonic is formulated with Secret Sauce fermented complex: seven key fermented ingredients that work to increase absorbency and maximize the efficacy of your moisturizers and serums." I have sensitive acne prone skin and this truly didn't irritate my skin at all in fact it felt comforting which is why I choose to use it both morning and night.  I love using it at nice just to make sure I got off all my makeup which if you use Bye Bye Wipes you will have no issues. I find that this does indeed prep my skin for my Bye Bye Lines Serum and the my moisturizer which is tough to choose between the  Secret Sauce or Confidence in a Cream Moisturizer which is what I use every morning, right now I am using Secret Sauce every night. The Miracle Water just preps my skin beautifully leaving it soft and glowing I am so happy I have this in my skincare routine, it is an absolute beauty bag must have and a 5 $$$$$. EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA is in order!

#BeautyBagDolls and #Doll10Dolls I have review for you that will make you as happy as I am. The  Doll 10 Split Decision Gel Eyeliner. Doll 10 is one of my favorite brands and when they come out with an eyeliner I know to expect the best because their eyeliner is the one I use most. I was excited to try out their Split Decision Gel Eyeliner because it looks amazing and do note it comes with the application brush inside the box. Please read on to learn more.
This gel eye liner from Doll 10 is a must! Lasts all day and look beautiful on the eyes!

A little background information from Doll 10 about the Split Decision Gel Eyeliner "This 2-in-1 creamy gel eyeliner gives you two versatile looks in one convenient package! Use the satin side to define the lash line, giving you dramatic definition and fuller-looking lashes. Use the pearl side to create fun looks that draw everyone’s eyes to yours, as it reflects light and makes your eyes sparkle! Both sides contain the same richly-pigmented, long-wear formula that glides onto lids with precision like a liquid."  This eyeliner is awesome. It comes in 2 shades Total Eclipse and Luna. Total Eclipse is a true black and Luna is a brown. The brush that comes in the package is duel ended and is cut perfectly to help you apply the perfect line. It glides on easily and is creamy without ever tugging your eyelid. I am very happy with the performance of the Doll 10 Split Decision Gel Eyeliner. I apply it at 5AM and it lasts all day until I wash it of at 7PM. This eyeliner is such a beauty bag must have I reach for it every day, the only choice is what shade Total Eclipse or Luna.

It Cosmetics Secret Sauce Moisturizer

Hello to all my #BeautyBagDolls I am and so very excited today to be bringing you a review of the latest moisturizer from It Cosmetics called Secret Sauce. I have very high expectations from It Cosmetics when it comes to moisturizer especially since they nailed the Confidence in a Cream. While Confidence in a Cream amazing for hydrating the skin and helping in preventing the aging process I must now say the It Cosmetics Secret Sauce has completely conquered the hydration, anti-aging and discoloration. I will get into all my thoughts about Secret Sauce so read on.
It Cosmetics Secret Sauce Moisturizer is my secret to antiaging.

When I apply this luxurious Secret Sauce Moisturizer I am at awe at how it melts and absorbs into my skin quickly without feeling heavy or greasy since it seems so thick in the jar. My skin feels instantly hydrated after application which  I appreciate the instant hydration but what I love even more is that the look of my pores began to shrink within a few days my lines and wrinkles around my eyes on my forehead softened after a week and in two weeks they were smooth. My other favorite place to apply this amazing moisturizer is on my neck and décolletage because it smooth's it out and minimizes the lines on my neck and chest. After seeing my skin hydration improve and the fine lines and wrinkles soften I was thrilled but when the pores shrunk and my skin brighten I knew the ingredient deck must be packed and I was right it is stacked with ingredients like anti-aging peptides, hydrolyzed collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and licorice root but the Secret Sauce also has the  Fermented Complex which is  7 clinically advanced, penetration-enhancing fermented ingredients that help to increase absorbency and maximize the ultra-hydrating, anti-aging benefits. I am thrilled with my results and this is a beauty bag staple that gets 5 $$$$$ along with EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

It Cosmetics Confidence In A Cream

#ITGirls today I have something extra special for you from my favorite brand of cosmetics. I have a review of their It Cosmetics Confidence In A Cream. This is an amazing transforming moisturizing super cream that is for all skin types, which means its perfect for anyone like me with acne prone skin that is super sensitive. I must also note that it does have a lemon scent to it which is my favorite scent when it comes to a face cream, it was not irritating to me at all in fact it is refreshing. A little more background information about It Cosmetics Confidence In A Cream is that it "nourishes your skin with collagen, hyaluronic acid, peptides, ceramides, antioxidants and colloidal oatmeal to help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving the texture of your skin and delivering the ideal amount of moisture." The website also states that the "proprietary Anti-Aging Armour Regenerative Concentrate is activated upon contact to immerse your skin in moisture for powerful results that you’ll see instantly, and more dramatic results over time." You can learn more by reading on.
Loving the hydration and antiaging benefits from Confidence In a Cream

My personal experience has been nothing but perfection for my imperfect skin. After the first use and just about 5 minutes after applying Confidence In A Cream to my neck, décolletage and face I noticed that it absorbed within a minute, didn't feel greasy or heavy and my fine lines around my eyes plumped up and look smooth. I also felt that my chest, neck and face had the perfect amount of moisture. After using it morning and night for about 5 days I could see that the subtle but noticeable to me fine lines on my décolletage and forehead had softened and my pores were non existent. Around day 7 I was thrilled that my acne scars lightened to the point were I did not need concealer and I am HAPPY to report I didn't breakout at all, as not from the Confidence In A Cream and as in Confidence In A Cream balanced my skin. I don't know how it did it but it did. I am pretty sure it balanced the amount of hydration my skin need to stay clear of acne. My skin feels silky smooth, looks glowing and has gotten better and better each day that passes. Fine lines around non-existent along with pores, acne and acne marks of the past! I want to SING my PRAISES for It Cosmetics Confidence In A Cream but I am not a singer so instead I will give you the direct link to purchase your very own It Cosmetics Confidence In A Cream here and without any hesitation I have give It Cosmetics Confidence In A Cream a 5 $$$$$ along with EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Mermaidful Mermaid Box

#BeautyBagDolls I have a very interesting and fun review for you today. As you may know if you have been reading this blog for a while I am someone who loves the beach, in fact I am a self proclaimed mermaid. When I get to the beach I am setting up my spot and then I am heading to the water. When I learned about the Mermaidful Mermaid Box I was immediately drawn to it. This is a monthly subscription box that is filled with the latest mermaid clothes, siren products and undersea accessories. The cost is $19.95 a month. For the $19.95, the Mermaid Box contains 3-6 pieces with a total retail value of $50 or more. Grab yours today or give a subscription as a gift to the mermaid in your life! For the Luxury Mermaid Box includes everything in The Mermaid Box PLUS 1-3 more pieces. For only $29.96/month, each box contains 4-9 pieces with a total retail value of $72 or more. Read on to learn more about the June Mermaid Box and why the Mermaidful Mermaid box is my favorite subscription box.
The Mermaidful Mermaid Box is the must have subscription box for beauty and fashion!

Now for $19.95 you will get so many goodies. My jaw dropped when this arrived, I was thrilled. For me the box pays for itself immediately upon opening when you see the beautiful T-Shirt it is so soft and so cute I wore it immediately and would have paid $19.95 for it without hesitation. It has a beautiful mermaid on it and says "Mermaid In America" ( the T-Shirt will come in the county you are having it shipped to, note Mermaidful ships worldwide) The next product is this beautiful mirror compact with a mermaid on the front. This was a weighty mirror that had a double mirror on the inside. This is the most exquisite mirror I have seen. The mermaid looks painted on the front and I am just so impressed. I proudly take this out to use. The third product is a super cute beverage sleeve that says Mermaid Fuel on it. Its a beautiful teal color that I take with me to hold my mermaid fuel which is some sparkling water. The next product is a cute necklace (a necklace!) I could not believe that necklace was included I mean accessories are so pricy and to include one for this price is a total deal! This one is a cute mermaid tail that I have been wearing since it arrived. The final item is totally awesome and another unexpected product to find for the amazing price of this subscription box a gorgeous pair of aviator sunglasses in a carrying pouch and cleansing cloth for them. The sunglasses themselves are beauties they have sea shells subtle placed and I wear them everyday but the ultimate test was the day I went to the beach (which was the day after the box arrived) and they truly protect your eyes from the sun! Mermaidful Mermaid box is my favorite subscription. I love it because its different. Its a mix of beauty and fashion which for me is a beauty bag must have and a 5 $$$$$. The Mermaidful Mermaid Box gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA without hesitation.
