Everyone and their dog seem to be talking about the
It Cosmetics CC+ Cream recently, and for good reason. I am pretty new to It Cosmetics but from what I have tried so far I think I can say it's a pretty amazing brand, but more on that another day. Today I am going to be talking you through the CC+ cream. If you have been round these parts before then you may hazard a guess that I love a good light to medium dewy base, and well this is just that. It is supposed to be a full coverage CC cream with anti-aging benefits and a SPF of 50 all in one. I have the shade 'light' and it's still a little dark for me so I feel like I can't build it up to it's full potential to really test it out as being full coverage without mixing it with anything to lighten the shade. When I have fake tanned I will get back to you on that. Right now I can just about get away with it if I blend it down my neck and only use a small amount. Considering the small amount of product I used, it gave great coverage and looked really natural, I did the magnified mirror test and up close it still looked like real perfected skin. I am suffering from quite a few dry patches right now and it didn't overly cling, in fact it is proven to boosts skin moisture up to 79% with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid. I think you can apply this with your fingers or a brush but my favorite way is with the
It Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Complexion Perfection brush, It's quick thick in texture but not as thick as the
Chanel CC cream. It has a really nice glow-y finish but isn't wet looking or oily at all. I think it is best suited for dry, normal, or combination skin, so if you re oily it may be one to avoid. It has an SPF of 50 which is amazing for a makeup product I think; it's this and it being a CC cream that makes it me think it is a great cheaper alternative to the
Chanel CC Cream (don't tell anyone I may even prefer it). The SPF is a physical one so great for those who are sensitive to chemical SPF or just prefer a physical block. Overall I can say I really like it, it looks like real skin but with a perfected finish. It has just the right amount of glow but isn't overly dewy and the SPF is a real added bonus. The only downside, maybe the shade but I think trying 'fair' maybe on the books.
What are your feelings on CC creams? Love...

To be honnest i don't really trust all the promess that the brand tell us about the CC Cream.. For me it's just a base with light coverage for the most..

I agree, some can just be re named tinted moisturizers. But there are a few that are an exception, for instance this It Cosmetics one has some serious pigment too it. Nothing wish washy here.
Delete50 SPF is great for the face, i would use it JUST for that! I can't imagine back in the day that people diddnt use SPF, it feels like such a staple now, that is if you dont want wrinkles, haha!
