? about the It Cosmetics CC cream & more questions lol

[soiree]

It CC Cream- I picked one up during last weeks Sephora sale. I think I like it but it's a lot more full coverage than I'm used to. I was thinking it would replace my beloved Bobbie Brown BB cream. If I'm going to keep it, I think I need to pick up something with less coverage as well, maybe back to my Bobbie Brown BB cream, unless someone has another rec for something with less coverage? 
My question- how do you apply it? The Sephora lady rec'd a foundation brush. So of course I added that to my basket. Again, I think I like it, but I'm not totally sold. It's a heavier look than I'm used to. I use a beauty blender with my BB cream and I do really like that.

On that note, how often do you replace your beauty blender? 

Concealer- I've used NARS for years but decided to switch to Two Faced Born This Way Concealer after reading the rave reviews. Again, it's a lot more full coverage than I'm used to. I think it works well with the CC cream but might be too much with a lighter BB cream? Does that make sense at all? Should I get a second, lighter concealer for a BB cream (or tinted moisturizer?) 

I got a sample of DE baby facial. I used it Sunday and thought it was fine. I have pretty good skin and it's not easily irritated. I did a thin layer after I washed my face and set the timer for 20 minutes. I think I was expecting awesome results but I didn't really notice anything. Maybe my layer was too thin? How do you use it? I use Retin A nearly nightly (I didn't use after the baby facial.) 

I think that's it for now! I'm pushing 40 and wanting to "up" my makeup game   Thanks!!!

I’m obsessed with IT CC Cream. I use the Illuminizing one though and just love how awake I look compared to what I used to use. But I have a feeling the matte one might be too heavy for me too. That being said, I apply it with a beauty blender and I only use two drops so I apply it sparingly and I really work hard to make sure everything is evened out. When I do that I don’t feel like I have too much on, that being said, I completely understand how IT CC creams can get too heavy easily.

I have the IT Cosmetics CC cream and also find that it is too much coverage for me, especially if I use a foundation brush. I have a better experience with a damp beauty blender, but still a bit much.

Yup.  I'm kind of sad I don't love it as much as I thought I would. I've been using a damp beauty blender and it's better.

I’ve been using IT cc cream for over a year now. I use a foundation brush to apply.

Thought I would chime in!

Add half a pump of the cc cream to your morning moisturizer and stipple it on with a brush. Then use you blender to tap it in and grab any excess!

Concealer- NARS is my fav. I would grab another and use the too faced one when you need more coverage.

I replace my sponges every 6 months and wash them every few days. I keep the beauty blender cleanser on my bathroom counter.

yianna i've been mixing a dot of the CC cream with my sunscreen based on your recommendation, and it's so much better for me that way! so thanks.

[gldnbearz]

yianna if you are mixing the CC cream with your moisturizer, where in your routine do you wear sunscreen?

My current routine: moisturizer, sunscreen, CC cream.

Thanks.

Well my moisturizer and the cc cream have spf in them so I just use that. I also like to use the supergoop or SeneGence natural powders - both have an spf in them.
