Celebrating It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation

I told you guys that I had received the QVC New Year,Your Most Beautiful You 5 Piece Collection. Here is what's included...




1. 2 in 1 Bye Bye Under Eye/Hello Light Brightener
2. Celebration Foundation
3. Heavenly Luxe Double Airbrush Foundation Brush
4. Feel The Moment Anti Aging Serum Primer
5. Heavenly Luxe Sensory Sweeping Fan Brush





So I had changed foundation probably a month ago from the Clinique Even Better, which I have used since September of 2013 to the Estee Lauder Resilience Lift. I did a lot of research as I call it, getting samples and just using the products before I spend lots of money on something I am unhappy with down the road. 

I ordered the QVC collection for the sole purpose of getting the Feel the Moment primer serum. I had seen and heard so much about this product especially for my dry skin, as to it's powerful hydrating effects and that is was just a great overall product for aging skin. 




So I used the primer as directed and I had seen Emilynoel83 on YouTube, check her channel out she is AWESOME, review it and recommended letting it absorb for a couple of minutes before you put on the foundation, and I did. So I started putting on the Celebration foundation with the foundation brush that came with it. I used small circles to apply it and I immediately could see my red, uneven skin tone start to just disappear. I wasn't having to keep reloading my brush with product, I wasn't having to go over the area and build coverage. It matched my skin color perfectly. I wan't having to spend a ton of time blending it into my neck and jawline like many foundations I have tried in the past. It is so hard to impress me guys and this did. I really went into this thinking the foundation wasn't going to work because it was a powder form and most of the mineral makeups or powder type foundations just don't work on my dry skin, they leave me with dry patches and just a dry look to my skin.



I have used the foundation for 2 days and I have had consistent results. The other products, bronzer, blush and highlighter blended and looked great on top of this foundation. So in conclusion, I am over the moon about this product. I will continue to keep you updated and I am going to keep using this and trying other products with it as we go along.

I will try to post something in regards to the Estee Lauder foundation. Just an update the Theraderm system hasn't been sent to me yet by my grandmother. I might be moving so I'm kinda waiting to see what happens. Ive been using the 3 in 1 Timewise cleanser by Mary Kay, the step 2 exfoliate by Clinique and the Clinique moisturizer along with a drop of Maracuja oil by Tarte. Of course after I moisturize I let it absorb followed by the It Cosmetics primer serum and I let that absorb as well.

I did promise some information on the Naturally Pretty It Matte Lux palette. I had sent It cosmetics an email about the brush not being included and this was the response.

Laying the foundation

This is my routine and my opinions. I have based this on many hours of reading, watching videos, and using the products which I have purchased during the last few years.  That being said. .. I told you about my cleansing process in my first post, this is my next step.

Once you have a clean canvas you want to moisturize, moisturize, don't forget to moisturize.  This is so important for keeping wrinkles at bay, keeping your color even and just good skin health.  I've read different opinions about eye creams.  Some say it's just a way to make more money by selling a different product for every part of your face and body.  I've been using the Clinique laser repair that I have gotten in my free gift with purchase.  As I stated in my prior posts I haven't seen a difference in the last 6 months of use. However that doesn't mean I haven't prevented crows feet or other forms of aging.  


Something I have added in the last month is a  Maracuja oil from Tarte. I use my ring-finger to gently dab it under and around the outside corners of my eyes. Once I've done this I take my step 3 moisturizer from Clinique and put it into my palm where I had the oil.  I then add another couple of drops to my hand, combine and massage into my face with an upward motion. I then continue down my neck and onto my décolletage  The next step is important, let it be absorbed before you continue on to primer.  I wait at least 3 minutes, longer if I'm not in a hurry.

I have read so many great reviews about the Feel the Moment Serum Sensory Primer I had to try it. So I am about to turn my beauty regimen on it's ear. I am changing everything. Changing my cleanser to the Theraderm, my primer to the It serum. Guess what, you are along for the ride.

I will post an interview with my Aunt, LIsa Humphrey from the Chattanooga Plastic Surgery Group later in the week. Hope we can find better skin together, 41 is creeping up real quick.

Much love and God Bless,
