I don't think I've ever reviewed anything from IT Cosmetics. That might just change, after trying their
IT Cosmetics Confidence In Your Glow in Nude Glow and Warm Glow Palettes ($32). I purchased these during ULTA's 20% off sale. They're NEW and their gorgeous OMBRE pattern captured my attention. IT Cosmetics actually came out with three (3) Palettes: Nude Glow, Warm Glow and Natural Glow (see the descriptions below). Each of these palettes contain a BRONZER, BLUSH & HIGHLIGHTER (and they're DIFFERENT for each palette). They kind of remind me (except for the ombre design) of
Urban Decay's Naked Flush Palette (do you remember that palette?) (FYI: you guys always rave about my complexion, but click that link to see how far my skin, skincare & makeup application has come LOL). Let's talk packaging! The OUTER BOX matches the ombre pattern you choose, but the actual packaging that holds the product DOES NOT. So when I store these in my makeup drawer, I WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE NAME ON THE ACTUAL PALETTE. It's a little thing, but a BIG THING! Thought you should know. The silver circle with IT on it is a magnet, that helps close your palette. It works well and doesn't take up too much space. Some may like it. Some may not, because it's raised. When you open the palette, there is a workable rectangular mirror and then the product. I swatched the colors separately and swirled together below. I'm going to wear these more as a blush (as shown below). NUDE GLOW gave me a great warm, bronze-y glow. WARM GLOW complimented me more (which I thought it would) and gave me more color & depth. It has a great rose-y/coral blush. I think WARM GLOW is a close dupe for the
MACxTarajiPHenson Collection I purchased (don't you agree?). These palettes will give you a wonderful glow + color! I also found WARM GLOW to be more pigmented. I really like these and think they can be worn year round. I haven't checked out any reviews on these. What are your thoughts?
Nude Glow – for the softest, sheerest naturally pretty glow
Natural Glow – for a natural rosy kiss of radiance and natural boost of warmth
Warm Glow – your richest shade of bronzer for the deepest
color payoff, with a gorgeous peachy-pink flush for your brightening
radiance

I like the blush shade from Warm Glow the best, but I guess the bronzer would be too pigmented for me.

I don't think it's available in the Philippines but it looks really interesting and glad to know it worked well on you. I love the packaging and, for me, packaging is a big thing. I wish I can get to try products like that. Hopefully online shops here in the Philippines would have something similar. :)

The Warm Glow does look sooo soooo good on you, Kim! Will really have to check these palettes out. I've read another positive review of these. You know....I don't think I've tried any from IT although I've been dying to (esp their concealers).
ReplyDeleteHave a good one:) XOXO
OMG, this is so cute and I love the color. It does remind me similar blush from Kevyn Aucoin x

Ooh the packaging is lovely, but the ombre set of colors is even more lovely! Warm glow gives you a great radiance!
ReplyDeleteI love the ombre aspect but I wonder if it makes it harder to use if you want each individual shade? I love my It Cosmetics brushes sooo much and maybe I need to expand and try more!

What a pretty palette! I love that the inside design matches the outer packaging, how clever! It's great because it lets you know exactly the colors that are inside at first glance. The colors look so beautiful on you and are perfect for spring and summer. I only ever tried a contour palette and a couple of makeup brushes from IT and love the brand, the quality is amazing! I'm glad you've discovered them with this palette and I look forward to more reviews! Thanks for sharing, beauty, and I hope you're having a great start to your week so far!

Pretty tones. I love the Warm Glow on you. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Warm Glow on you Kim! It totally gives you that lit from within radiance. I think I need to check these out.
ReplyDeletethese colors are so pretty! I love the ombre packaging! The nude glow would go best with my skin tone.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful palettes!! I love the two that you have Kim, and they look beautiful on you! I'd have a hard time choosing which one out of the three to get! I'm going to add these to my wish list and swatch them next time I'm in Ulta! I haven't tried anything from It Cosmetics yet, but there's a nice handful of things I'd love to try!
ReplyDeleteWarm Glow is stunning but then again, both palettes are!!! I haven't tried anything from IT cosmetics before. Great post Kim xx

I like how the nude glow looks on you and am guessing it would work well on me... I don't think I had heard of the brand-
ReplyDeleteHow funny that the outer packaging matches the palette but the inner packaging doesn't! Those little details really are big things and that has the potential to drive someone who owns more than one of these palettes a bit crazy. Still, all three of the palettes look beautiful. The is my first introduction to IT Cosmetics and I admit that I'm intrigued now!

Cee

ReplyDeleteNever heard of this brand Kim, but it looks promising!

Honestly I'm not crazy about these blushes. Compared to the other ones you've been trying out they look more "artificial". The nude glow is the one I see best on you! Love, Valeria
