IT Cosmetics

 Mini CC+ Cream Foundation with SPF 50+

I finally found a product that sits well on my face. I suffer with combination skin as well as redness and psoriasis, so I struggle to find anything that works well on my face. But this...oh man...my new home grail. It blends beautifully and sits well after 8 hours.

Within 2 hours i got a serious allergic reaction. It itched very deeply into the pores. On my hairline it was itching so badly and creating zits in real time that i had to take a shower immediately. It showed my pores like nothing ive even seen. What a shame!

Ladies!!! Ive been wearing this CC cream for at least 6 years. It's been my holy grail for "foundation". I have rosacea, sensitive skin, and I dont do well with most SPF…this was my GO TO PERFECT FOUNDATION FOREVVVEERR!! I was loyal and loved it! I turned so many people onto it because they'd say my skin looked beautiful while wearing it. Well to my extreme surprise, the last tube i bought was completely different. I use the shade Light Neutral, my perfect match. I put it on as normal, like i have for the last 6 years. Im telling you….it was SLIDING off my face within seconds. I was putting on my mascara, so i had my hand resting on my cheek a bit. The area where my hand was resting was bare when i moved my hand…the CC cream transfered to my hand like a stamp! I had a big bare spot on my face. I thought..hmmm.. that was strange, so i just put some CC cream back on that area, and went about my day. BIG MISTAKE. I use the Loreal infallable setting spray, which works SO good! But even that power house of a setting spray couldnt help this new formula. I checked my makeup when I went potty at work (about 2 hours after application) and I looked CRAZY. Huge areas the CC cream was completely gone, I had steaks everywhere, around my chin and nose it was piling and chunky, under my eyes it creased and was DRIPPING off. I looked insane. I work in health care…I see 50+ patients a day, I was so embarrassed by what I looked like. I almost cried. Florescent lighting is bad enough for everyone, but my face looked like I just smeared skin toned oil all over my face. Again, I've used this CC cream for 6 years. It's NEVER done this before. I always use the shade Light Neutral. I went to Ulta and returned it. I thought I got a bad batch, but the worker at Ulta said IT Cosmetics has indeed changed their formula for their CC Cream, and she's seen just about everyone who bought a recent tube return it asap. She also mentioned Estée Lauder changed their Double Wear formula as well (I don't use that, but to anyone reading this that does…I guess the Double Wear is doing the same now…sliding off your face with EXTREME transfer..so just a heads up!) She mentioned that just that day alone 5 tubes of the CC cream were returned, all with the same complaints. IT cosmetics is saying they have NOT changed their formula, but that's a LIE. They might be using the same ingredients, but they changed how much or how little is used now. That's how they are getting away with lying. TRUST ME, I have been using this religiously for 6 years, it was flawless, perfect and the only foundation I would ever use. This is NOT the same CC cream. It's a shame. I'm totally bummed tbh. I've switched to Revlon Colorstay Longwear make up now…and I love it. No transfer at all, lasts all day, and the coverage is even better than the CC cream (which us rosacea gals need!) Boooooo to you IT cosmetics!!! Why change a *perfect* product, and LIE about it!?!?? I will never buy any IT cosmetics product ever again. Trust broken, and your CC cream sucks now! Ugh!!!

If there was an option for 4.5 stars that would be my score as this is the closest foubdation to perfect that i have found. I have tried so many foundations as a makeup junkie (from expensive to value brands) but I keep coming back to this one! The price is steep but a little goes a long way, so it lasts a long time. This foundation covers, blurs fine lines, fixes redness, covers like a dream, hydrates my perimenopausal skin, and all of my students think I am ten years younger than my actual age! I credit this foundation because if they did the same evaluation without it, I am pretty sure they would think I am Yoda. It's that good! The biggest con for me is that it transfers pretty easily (tissue season is not my friend). It stays all day everywhere else though throught the day. I keep a cushion foundation in my bag for a nose touch up every now and then and that sorts the problem. Despite this, I still keep coming back because my skin loves this foundation and no others stack up! Thank you for keeping me youthful IT! 💋
