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 :)
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!
HI! OK -- so, for me, I really enjoyed the CC cream -- which, to me, I refer to it as foundation but whatever. The foundation went on very light and what I liked was that the color was more my speed. Like Nell had mentioned, it runs on the fair side which is great for me as I'm very fair. So, vs. the MAC one I have --- and it's almost the same kind of product, this went on a little more weightless feeling and spread easier PLUS I liked that the light color is just right for me on this one whereas the MAC lightest color is a tad dark for me - I can wear it, but it is a wee bit dark.
When I went to Ulta to buy this I went to get it for my sister under the caveat that I would try it out :) When I did that the salesperson was helpful enough to suggest a brush to apply the foundation cream with. THAT is what really helped a ton. I dot it around my face - two small dots on the forehead, two small dots throughout my cheeks, one small on the nose, one small on the chin... and use the brush to blend it together, in circular motions. Works great. I like the little shimmer that the cream has to it.
Then, the bye bye dark circles under eye concealer is good -- it is not as great as my MAC one. But, in a pinch, it is good. I will use it but I prefer the MAC. My MAC one is actually a liquid that I apply with a brush so it is super weightless. It is also a very light color, it comes in ever shade of the rainbow and I need that very light color under the eyes. the bye bye from IT (Ulta), the lightest was a tad too dark for under my eye. I can use it but I prefer the other.
The powder foundation - bye bye pore powder or whatever was nice for setting the cream foundation and getting rid of some of the excess shine. I like a little pop and shine to my skin but not too much and that did the trick well for that. I was not a fan of the little pillow applicator that comes with it but I never am - I used one of my MAC powder brushes to apply it.
All in all, I really like the foundation the best. I think I'll go back and get that and use it but most likely in conjunction with my other MAC products. I like how weightless and light it was though. The complexion was a perfect match.

Am I the only person who doesn't like it?!
I have to say after all of these reviews I got so excited!!!
I bought it yesterday & I'm just not overly impressed. It's a good foundation, but for $38 & these rave reviews I expected a bit more.
I'm very happy it was so good for everyone else though!!!

Re: Product RAVE!! In LOVE with this CC cream and concealer!
After seeing this thread, I went out and bought the Illuminating CC cream and the Bye Bye Under Eye Corrector.
I've been using it daily for over a week, experimenting with different primers and such. So far I like it for its medium coverage with SPF (great for my every day use.) I think I'm going to give the regular CC a try (the one without the illuminator) because I tend use other illuminator products on my face.

Love the CC cream. I bought the corrector and it does nothing. It's useless on bad dark circles. I'm returning it and will see if the concealer is any better.

I noticed a pimple or 2 near my nose-but I can never tell if it's a product making me break out or just a normal hormonal pimple.
I haven't had any new pimples since so maybe it was a fluke.
The CC cream is much less oily than my Garnier- so I find it does last a lot longer.
I'm kind of loving it.
I like the smell too- like Lemons!

I felt that way too- then I bought the celebration powder foundation and used it over it and I have to say it's much better that way

With the pimples - don't forget that with a new product of any kind when you first start to use it your skin needs to adjust and may react with a break out or two and then it'll calm down, get used to it, and go back to normal.
