It Cosmetics Vitality Face Disc Review

Hi guys thanks for coming back to my blog.

So I promised a review of the It Cosmetics Live, Love, Laugh Vitality Face Disc with Drops of Light Technology and I must say for the most part it really works for me.  I picked mine up from QVC which is my favorite place to get It Cosmetics, many of the products offered by QVC have a brush included for just an extra $10.00 or so where if you get it on the It Cosmetics web site or Ulta they will not have the brush offer.  The brush that came with mine was the  Jumbo Heavenly Luxe Mega-Brush which if purchased alone on QVC or the It Cosmetics website, would be $58.00.  On QVC I paid $48.50 for the disk and brush, the disk alone is $38.00.  I have never had good customer service in Ulta and you can’t get It Cosmetics at Sephora.  QVC has a great return policy as well as easy pay options on a few products, unfortunately easy pay isn’t currently offered on this product right now.

The bronzer in this palette is a matte finish.  I find it is darker and less orange than say NYC’s Sunny and a touch darker than Two Faced Chocolate Soleil with the same neutral undertones.  The bronzer doesn't come off orange at all on my skin tone.  It leaves a natural shadow when I use it to contour and it blends out with ease.

The blush is a cool pink with a hint of coral with a slight shimmer, however the shimmer doesn't come off on the cheeks leaving a more satin finish over shimmer.  It also blends very easily and gives a natural pinched or light burn look.  I use this blush often, it goes very well with my tan lending itself to the slightly pink cheek that I would have after a little to long in the sun.

The highlight in this trio is a champagne shimmer and can look very disco ball if you don’t use a light hand.  This also blends out beautifully but I think it has a less natural look unlike the other products in this palette.  I wish it was a little more of a natural highlight rather than the heavy iridescence that comes off on the skin, you can easily overdue it so start light, better to add than take away.  It will blend easily but you end up with to much highlight in places you didn’t intend for it to be.



The palette is my favorite product to use right now for contour and blush.  I find I’m reaching for this bronzer over my Soleil Tan De Chanel, which was my favorite last month and my Two Faced Chocolate Soleil.  The entire palette is finely milled and as I said before is so easy to blend out to a natural finish, with the exception of the highlight.  I find myself reaching for my Hourglass Ambient lighting palette over the included highlighter, it’s my favorite for highlight, I love it and want to use it everyday if possible, it’s just a beautiful finish to any look.  It Cosmetics is a cruelty free company and their products have things included in them that are said to be good for your skin. According to their website this product includes anti-aging ingredients hydrating ingredients, including hydrolyzed collagen, acai, green tea, and vitamins A, C, and E. Talc, paraben, sulfate, mineral oil, petrolatum, synthetic fragrance, and phthalate free. Hypo-allergenic and non-comedogenic.  Although it’s disappointing to see parabens and sulfates it’s not something that keeps me away.  One last thing, it doesn't settle into fine lines!  That is becoming a huge thing for me.  I didn't realize how bad that does look until I tried a very cheap blush, Horrifying!

Thanks for reading!  I’m working on part 3 of my “On The Daily” series.  This will be the final installment and it will cover concealer, contour, blush and finishing powder.  I wish you all the best and thanks again for stopping by.

Much Love and God Bless,

On The Daily Pt. 2

Hi Guys!

So I’m back.  We finally got moved into our new house over 4th of July weekend and I have spent the last week unpacking and getting things put away.  No more excuses for me, I am back to work writing beauty blogs for you.  I have so many goals for not only the blog but the nonprofit I am starting.  I had no idea just how much paper work is involved with getting a nonprofit status from the federal government.  Hopefully I will figure it all out sooner than later and get things rolling.  I want to start helping women out and the sooner I get this paper work done the better.

I posted a “On The Daily Pt. 1” way back on the 23rd of June, part 2 is running very late but here we go.  I only go through my It Cosmetics CC+, I had started with moisturizer and going in the order of products as I put them on.  We went through “Skin Prep” now I move on to eyes.

Eyes

Two Faced Shadow Insurance Primer: I have been using this primer since I got it with my Chocolate Bar Palette.  I have used several different shadow primers over the last 2 years and I really can’t tell a huge difference except when I use one that is horrible.  I’ve been lucky because I got the 4 samples of Urban Decay primer with my Naked 3 palette then the full size with the Chocolate Bar palette, the only one I’ve bought lately is a NYX HD and it all works the same.  I might see a big difference if I had oily eyelids or needed staying power.  Regardless if you can get one free or super cheap that works best for me.  I’ve always said spend the money on the foundation and your house will stand longer i.e. skin care, moisturizers, primers and foundation.

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk: I have found that no matter what shadow I’m using it still looks best with a white base behind it.  The NYX pencil formula is my favorite. I just dot some around my eyelid then blend it out with my finger, easy and I like easy.

Insert your favorite shadow here…  I change up almost daily… However my new Makeup Geek shadows are some of my new favorites.  I have my first Z palette here and you can see my starter kit around the right side with the new awesome Makeup Geek blushes in the middle.  You just can’t beat the quality for the price.  The starter kit is sold out but it’s worth it to wait for them to come back into stock, you can still grab a few of the blushes, most are sold out but I counted 6 out of 13 that are still available.  Mascara and Liners are the same way, I’ve not really found my HG on either one of those.  I just bought the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz 2 days ago and so far I’m loving it.



House of Lashes Au Naturale: I watch a ton of YouTube beauty videos and I have seen dozens talking about the House of Lashes lash glue and lashes.  So I am horrible at applying falsies and I prayed this would be the answer to my false lash prayers.  Although it does work beautifully I still have a huge handicap when I try to use them.  This glue does however make it ten times easier as well as the lashes themselves.  The lash case is just to die for so I got the deal 2 for $10.  I did just check and they are sold out on their page so keep checking back.



So to keep from boring you to tears I will continue this another day.  I will finish up with concealer, contour, blush and setting powder, give you something to look forward to.  I am also working on a post comparing 2 nail polish subscription boxes, Julep Maven and the all new Square Hue.  Also coming soon is a review of my new It Cosmetics Anti-Aging Vitality Face Disc, just a quick preview, I’m loving it.

Much Love and God Bless,

We Have A HOUSE!!!

Hi guys, thanks for coming back.

Just wanted to make a quick post to let you know we finally found a house.  We will be moving over the weekend and hopefully I will be up and going by the middle of next week.  I will have cable on Tuesday so I will try to get the 2nd half of my haul as well as the rest of my “On the Daily” series ready and posted to my blog.  Another plus is we will have the fastest internet speed in the country, 1Gb!  My husband thinks this is the greatest thing ever.

Thanks for sticking with me and coming back to my blog.  I hit 128 views in a single day last week and I cried.  I have many goals for the next year and everything has just been on hold until we moved.  No more excuses after this weekend, I will be off and running.  I hope you continue to join me on my journey and help me with any comments you might have for what I should post in the future.  I also plan to get my nonprofit off the ground very soon as well, it is something very important to me and is heavy on my heart to help women that are experiencing the same struggles that I have fought through.  It is still a daily struggle but one that is easier day by day.  With a firm faith in a higher power, anything is possible.

I will see you soon!

Much Love and God Bless,
