Recently I’ve been obsessed with everything IT Cosmetics. I’ve been loving their Bye Bye Pores loose powder, but they recently came out with a pressed version that has taken it’s place in my heart! I’ve already hit pan on it in less than 2 months, so I think I’m going to need an auto-mailer of it every few months… 😉

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder Review — IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder

This $29 award winning powder is transparent and gives the face a beautifully matte, airbrushed finish. I love it because it doesn’t look cakey at all throughout the day. Although I get greasy eventually because I have super oily skin, my makeup remains even looking and still looks great even with the added oil. This powder would be perfect for those with normal skin, but I’ve never really found a powder to keep me matte all day and night, at least not in this California heat!

I’m absolutely loving everything from IT right now and can’t wait to post more reviews soon. And you want to know a fun fact I stumbled upon? Jamie Kern, the founder of IT Cosmetics, was on the first season of Big Brother- I found that out through researching the show because I am always obsessed with it, and was a huge fan of #BB17- I couldn’t resist that little tidbit!

It Cosmetics Tightline Full Lash Length Mascara Primer Review — It Cosmetics Tightline

I’ve always wanted to try It Cosmetics, a brand popular among a lot of bloggers. I received It Cosmetics Tightline Mascara Primer in a gift bag earlier this year and was super excited to try my first It Cosmetics product! This black tinted primer is essentially a mascara base coat that will act as a liner, filling in gaps in your lashes. I have the waterproof version, which is great on it’s own for a waterproof look. Since it’s black, this primer can easily be worn on it’s own. It contains lash enhancing ingredients to strengthen lashes. I find that this is primarily a separating and lengthening product, not a lot of volume is created by it. I add another mascara on top to provide volume.

It Cosmetics Tightline Full Lash Length Mascara Primer Review Swatch — It Cosmetics Tightline Swatch

In this photo, I’m wearing it on both my upper and lower lashes. I like the effect it gives, but I don’t think it cooperates as well as I’d like with other mascaras, as lashes tend to clump together. I had the same issue on my lower lashes, when I used it alone. The brush is super thin and makes it easy to apply to both upper and lower lashes. I haven’t pressed it against my lash line in an attempt to tightline, but I don’t really love that look on myself. I’m not sure if buying the waterproof formula is worth it, because it will only work if you use a waterproof mascara over it. I wore this under a mascara and on my lower lashes, and after cutting an onion my eyes were a mess! Overall I think this is a good product, but I’d stick with the non-waterproof formula, and experiment with different mascaras to see how it builds up.

It Cosmetics Tightline retails for $24 and is available online and at ULTA. There are so many products I want to try from It Cosmetics now! If you’ve tried any, comment with your favorites!
