Re: Product RAVE!! In LOVE with this CC cream and concealer!
Posted by Ian&EmmesMommy23
does she use a primer with this? btw i love how you're getting makeup advice from your ExH's wife. LOL mine isn't allowed to breathe the same air as me LOL
She does not. She's also an esthetician and she highly recommends using a good moisturizer underneath you foundation or cc cream. I applied my moisturizer first and it helped the cc cream to blend smoothly. She's also a very big proponent of making sure your moisturizer and cc cream has SPF in it.
LOL I never in a million years would have ever thought that I would not only be civil with, but actually be FRIENDS with my ex's wife. We have a TON in common (guess my Ex has a particular taste in women LOL) - we have the same name, the same birthday, went to the same high school, we're both 1/2 Italian and 1/2 jewish, we drive the same car, and we both worked in cosmetic manufacturing for several years. She's really a very sweet woman and I've very lucky to have a good relationship with her.

There used to be one on Glen Cove Rd., but I think it moved to the shopping center with The Container Store

Re: Product RAVE!! In LOVE with this CC cream and concealer!
Thanks! Went there on lunch!
I got the concealer, the foundation, and then the powder too - figured, why not?
I have always used MAC and loved it but my sister wanted to try this so I stopped in and got it for her but I said, under one condition: I get to try it! LOL! So she said fine! :)
I'll report back :)

Product RAVE!! In LOVE with this CC cream and concealer!
I got it too! Bought the CC, Celebration foundation powder and the bye bye pores micro powder. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with coverage for a cream like this. I felt Garnier BB cream was a little thin/light. I'll give it an 8/10.. I'm pleased, and didnt use much. Thanks for the recco... I was dying for new makeup and your post came at the right time.
(I bought the tan color.. I'm more olive toned. The others were way too light).

Question- how do you use them? All together?
I saw the celebration foundation but thought it would be used alone. Do you use it with the CC cream?
Over it?

So glad you like it! The best part is you hardly have to use any to get coverage. I use the teeny tiniest drop of concealer under each eye and it covers everything! Ex's wife said she's had the same tube of concealer for 9 months and she still has enough to last another few months!

I'm so curious to hear what you think of it!!! I saw your post a while back with the MAC makeup and your skin looked stunning so I'd love to know how this compares!

I used the cc, then celebration powder. And a very fine dusting of the pore powder.

Interesting. And the coverage was not too heavy with both on?

It's pretty good. Most stuff I try I have to rerturn because it just lays right in the fine lines and accentuates them.
So far the Garnier BB and this one are the only ones that don't do that for me.
It's not going to cover them from view completely, but it will mask them and not make them worse.

Re: Product RAVE!! In LOVE with this CC cream and concealer!
So I wanted to come back and give my full review now that I have used it a few days.
I also ended up going back and getting the Celebration Foundation:
And the Bye Bye Pore powder.
So the CC cream I liked a lot. But I didn't find it THAT much better than my Garnier for the price difference. However, I have horrible skin- lot of acne scars, so for me to not return a BB or CC cream- it's a big deal. It did work very well. And it didn't sink into pores or lines. I apply it with my fingers. I find I get the best coverage that way. I am not a fan of applying liquids with a brush.
then someone on this thread menitoned the Celebration foundation. I got that, along with a brush from IT cosmetics for Ulta- #115 Airbrush complexion perfection brush
So using the celebration foundation brushed over the CC cream worked wonderfully.
It really made my skin glow and look smooth and as flawless as possible given my skin (it will never look flawless without photoshop or cosmetic procedures) but this got it looking the best it ever has with make up on
It didn't settle in lines and pores, it didn't age me at all
The only thing I felt was a waste was that bye bye pore loose powder. It is supposed to hide pores and blur imperfections, etc
I used it after the CC cream and foundation and honestly it did nothing.
I looked exactly the same with it as without it.
So that I wouldn't recommend. It's pricey and not worth it at all.
One other thing to note. I found the color to run to the light side. I am pretty fair/light but I had to get medium in the CC cream and the foundation was too light for me in the darkest medium shade (medium beige) so i had to go to the one called Tan.
I NEVER wear Tan shades in foundations.
So it does tend to run lighter in color than what I am used to.
All in all, I think it's a homerun for me.

Great review. I'm gonna return the pore powder too. I agree it seemed unnecessary with the cc and celebration powder.
