Hi Angie, I am in the UK and after reading your blog on the IT CC cream and then watching the video, I got a friend in America to forward my order. It cost £12 in postage, but is so worth it. I have broken veins and age-related discolouration and none of the foundations I have tried here really cover, and always need extra concealer. The IT CC cream does not. I have got two colours and blend to get my perfect shade. I also tried the powder foundation, but found it too dry looking, and the Bye Bye Redness cream is good, but not better than my Estee Lauder Concealer. I love your blog and recommend it to everyone. Many thanks. Nessie

Thank you Angie for all your trustful reviews. I have been watching you for a year or so. Being that I am 55 myself, I appreciate learning about products that are great for my mature skin.
The difficult thing for me to follow, is finding your current updated list of EVERYTHING … You use… from Anti aging products to your current makeup favorites for mature skin.
Would it be possible for you to provide a list?
Can you also tell me what over the counter chemical peels you use as well as what fillers are your fav?
Thanks ,
Terri

  Hi Terry~ Great idea for a post, I’ll get on it. On the chemical peels, I don’t do them currently.

    I agree. Please do a list list of current products/favorites. I get confused when it goes from 3 yrs ago, to current, to 4yrs ago, etc. Obviously as you have learned and tried things the list has changed. Thank you. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and trial results.

Hi Angie!
I love your input. I was super disappointed to see all the citrus oils in the CC cream from It. Cosmetics. I love the coverage but I understand that they are very damaging to the skin (but not sure in what way?) . Is that accurate? Thoughts?!

Great work, Angie. I love the IT products and feel like I’ve found ‘my’ Holy Grail!

I enjoy and appreciate all the testing you do and opinions you offer. The cosmetics that are available can make choice-making overwhelming. I have just recently started using the IT foundation and am so-o pleased with the overall results. I am 75 yr.’s into my journey and I don’t have many wrinkles, but I DO have large pores. The IT product covers so well for me, yet looks quite natural, I think I have found my Holy Grail. I’ve thrown out all the stuff I’ve used in the past and I believe I can stop ‘looking’ for anything that might do a better job! Personally speaking, I think YOU are pretty from the inside out and you would look great no matter what you were wearing. Keep up your great work.

Thanks for the review! I have been using the IT CC cream with the Bye Bye Pores powder for awhile now. I was hoping you would do a review on this product and share your thoughts. I haven’t been using a primer thinking one wasn’t needed with this, but glad to see your review and the difference it made using a primer. Any thoughts on the dermalogica skin perfect primer?

YAY! I am currently wearing/using the IT Cosmetics CC cream. It feels SO good on my skin…so smooth and luxurious feeling…yet still light. I love the high level SPF too. I’ve been using Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water first and I top it off with a light dusting of Youngblood translucent powder and Chanel Double Perfection Powder. As always, thanks for sharing your fab reviews!

XOXO, Jenn

This is a favorite of mine too! I don’t get quite as much wear out of it as with the Estee Lauder Double Wear, but I do feel like it’s a little kinder to my skin. When I wear this, I set mine with Givenchy Matte and Translucent powder.

I’ve had the same experience with this foundation! I do love the It bye bye pores powder. Magical stuff for minimizing pores! Could you tell us about your eye shadow and lip color in this video? Both look amazing.

  Sure, the eyeshadow is from the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani palette, and my lipstick is Too Faced La Creme in Nude Beach (there are shopping links below the video)!

    Hi Ang,
    I wanted to follow up on the lip color, are you wearing a liner or gloss over the nude beach lipstick? It looks beautiful on you; in fact, you look like a movie star!!! Seriously you are aging in reverse and look absolutely stunning in this video!!
    
    Thanks as always for taking the time to share your tips and tricks as well as letting me know if you are wearing gloss or liner with nude beach.
    
    All the best,
    Nance

      I’m probably wearing Rimmel liner in “Ease End Snob” under the lipstick and NYX “Pump It Up” in Kim over it! It’s a great combo!!

I jumped on the IT bandwagon in December and con not agree with you more!! It does the job, but is not the holy grail for all your same reasons.
I was so fearful you were going to love love, but once again your honesty keeps me coming back to your blog and trusting (and loving) all your advice.
