Go get ‘IT’ CC Cream: it works miracles on your skin

I am IN LOVE with IT CC cream. This is the BEST foundation/ make-up/ cc cream ever. I am not usually given to superlatives, I swear. Developed in conjunction with plastic surgeons and dermatologists, it has rapidly gained cult status.

Yes, IT Cosmetics has produced the perfect CC+™ Cream with SPF 50. It is like a second skin: ‘Your own skin but better’.

Maybe you’ve never heard of it. I only learned about it when I was invited to the launch of some of their new products.  Now I am hooked.  At the moment, you can get it in Arnotts (and online at www.arnotts.ie) and in Brown Thomas in Cork, Limerick and the Beauty Lounge in Dublin (and online at www.brownthomas.com).

WHY AM I IN LOVE?

  • It gives perfect full coverage, but it feels really light on my skin
  • It camouflages imperfections, even dark spots
  • It has pore-minimising primer
  • It makes my skin look smoother, luminous and radiant
  • It seems to minimise wrinkles
  • It is moisturising and hydrating
  • It makes my skin look BETTER in every way
  • It has SPF 50+UVA/UVB physical sunscreen
  • It is cruelty-free

INGREDIENTS INCLUDE:

HYDROLISED COLLAGEN

Collagen depletes as we age and its loss causes sagging and wrinkles.

PEPTIDES

Peptides not only help stimulate collagen growth, but they also deliver copper into the skin, which can help the skin heal faster. Made up of amino acids, peptides are compounds that send signals to your cells to produce more collagen, which is one of the major building blocks of your skin (see above).

HYALURONIC ACID

I have written about this before. It has been estimated that hyaluronic acid (HA) can hold up to one thousand times its own weight in water. It has an unrivalled ability to hydrate our skin.

ANTIOXIDANTS

Antioxidants are important for two reasons. They prevent degradation of natural ingredients (proteins, sugars, lipids) in the cosmetic product. Antioxidants protect the skin cells from being damaged and slow down the aging process. They have been shown to boost the skin’s radiance, minimize age spots, sun spots, and fine lines.

VITAMINS A, C, B, E

We all know how important it is to ensure we have plenty of vitamins in our diet and many of us take supplements too. But vitamins are also important in skin care.

  • Vitamin A is becoming more widely used and is a potent anti-ager.
  • Vitamin C helps with brightening skin and reducing pigmentation.
  • Vitamin B helps with the skin’s texture and also to reduce fine lines, because it keeps  the skin moist.
  • Vitamin E helps to protect skin against UV rays and pollution.

All the above ingredients work in harmony to diffuse the look of wrinkles, minimise pores and give you a more radiant and flawless-looking complexion. What is not to love?

PHYSICAL SUNSCREEN

  • Provides chemical-free broad spectrum coverage (protects against both UVA and UVB rays)
  • Acts like tiny mirrors reflecting light
  • Less likely to cause irritation on your skin

 

FINAL THOUGHTS

I was faithful to Charlotte Tilbury for years and used her Light Wonder. (I still use many of her other products) But now that I have discovered this all-in-one multi-tasking beauty miracle, I have switched my allegiance. And there will be no going back.

There are seven shades from which to choose – fair to deep -and I am sure there is one to suit you. Do yourself a favour and see if you can get your mitts on this amazing CC cream. It is €39 50, but IT is money well spent.

You will not be sorry.

      I love hearing that so many people already love it…I have started using their cleanser and got some lippies to try too. They are beautiful.

    Well you look fantastic Hilda. You know me I do take your advice so I will definitely give it a try. I wouldn’t order it on line as I would need to see the different colours. I also like the fact that it contains a high SPF . I hope you wont recognize me when we meet again! 😘

    Hello Hilda,

    You have convinced me to give this a try! I’m currently using a tinted moisturizer with an spf 30 and now that I live in Florida I’d prefer a higher spf
    The ingredients are an added bonus. Thank you for doing the research and saving me time.

    My Best,
    Nancy

    Great review. I’m going to try it! Have been trying different foundations lately. My skin has changed and no longer happy with what I’ve used for years. Thanks, Hilda

Core memories made celebrating GG's 70th Birthday Core memories made celebrating GG's 70th Birthday with our beautiful family on Safari in Birmingham last week.

Let's call it chaotic; wild & wonderful all at once with four Grandkids between 17 months and 7 years old. 😂

Our Indian Summer and a visit to Gorgeous Gort and Our Indian Summer and a visit to Gorgeous Gort and our friends @annademart.ie and @hynes6026 gave me a chance to wear this beautiful dress from @paulasmalahide. Visited Coole Park and Thoor Ballylee, ate delicious food  and drank too much wine with lovely people @mcevoycarlos and @mcevoyleonie. More pics on stories.

Realised I had not given this lovely dress a place Realised I had not given this lovely dress a place on the grid. Bought from @studio124dublin. Over on the blog I have published a post on having a colonoscopy. 
Yes exciting stuff! But decided not to publish a picture of my colon. Yes you have been saved that!
Have a lovely day. The sun is out.

Magic weather this weekend .... Magic weather this weekend ....
Great fun at launch of @travel_department and @tda Great fun at launch of @travel_department and @tdactiveholidays 2024 brochures with new initiatives and destinations. Get planning now with the best in #guided travel. Don't leave it too late. Practically nothing left this year.
Crochet is the theme for this month's 'Style Not A Crochet is the theme for this month's 'Style Not Age'! I may not have crushed it but I did do some damage to my fingers. Hence splints and red bandages.Yes rushing about and tripped ...luckily only on grass or it could have been worse. It might have been my teeth!

Anyway back to the outfit. I had to borrow a crochet top and bag from my friend @marie.sweeney4. And they look amazing with my suit bought from @studio124dublin and hat @wallaroohatsuk (old)

Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I found the perfect leather phone bag @bagsbylanda A/W launch today. It holds more than a phone, by the way! Room for lippy, cards and keys too!
I love a small bag for walking and shopping and this beauty in top quality leather comes in a variety of colours. 
And yes it came home with me!
More pics on stories.
Shopped my wardrobe for the rest.

Love the colour of this linen shirt and it is always packed for sun holidays, because of its versatility.

 Years old and bought @paulasmalahide.  Here it acts as a cover up over a swimsuit in Dubrovnik. Also love the colour and roominess of the Yoko bag @absolutely_patsy.

Let's hope the good weather stays. I might even venture into the Irish sea!😂

'Kimono my House' is Gail's prompt for this month' 'Kimono my House' is Gail's prompt for this month's 'Style Not Age'! And I did not realise it was an album by The Sparks back in 1974. 🫢
That was the year I did my Leaving Cert exams so maybe that is why it passed me by. But I do like kimonos. 
Love the paisley pattern and have no idea where I got it. Check out my friends @is_this_mutton_ @thestylesplash @annasislandstyle @mummabstylish.

Do you have clothes that only see the light of day Do you have clothes that only see the light of day when you are on holidays? I do. Though this jumpsuit from @trafficpeople was worn a few times in Ireland when we had a heatwave! Remember😂
The hat from @h&m was prettied up with a scarf and birkenstock dupes are @tkmaxxie.
Blog post up about our trip to Dubrovnik. We had a blast at Ali and Ian's wedding. Dubrovnik is beautiful.

We were married 41 years ago on the hottest day of We were married 41 years ago on the hottest day of the year. Still mad about him and often with him, but still love him completely and for ever!

'Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come.'

 What is the secret? 
Resilience, an ability to compromise and a sense of humour. Oh and an ability to zone out. GG is a sweetheart, kind and loving. He has an endearing/annoying habit of telling the same stories time and again. Now I zone out. 🙂
He puts up with my shortcomings too, though I am sure they are minor😂
