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).

Photo below – at the launch of IT’s latest lippies with their gorgeous ambassador Rose Gallagher.

 

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.

    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

Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, tak Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, taken when we could go further than 5k. Wearing all Zara except for old @carl_scarpa boots. How are you coping with the present lockdown? I am reading lots and watching telly and walking. I sympathise with those of you who are homeschooling and trying to work. Not easy. But we are nearly there. Stay strong.

New Year Resolutions are not for me. I just love New Year Resolutions are not for me.
 I just love the life I live. Of course I am worried about the Pandemic. Who isn't? 
But even though I cannot meet friends, eat out or do many of the 'normal' activities I used to do, I can still walk and enjoy the lovely place I live. Pop over to the blog to see my farewell to 2020.

 'Life is not measured by 
the number of breaths we take, but
the moments that take our breaths away.'

Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Year's Eve for certain. We are sitting at home watching the telly. But welcoming in 2021 with open arms and hoping that in a few months we can return to a more normal life. 

While 2020 was tough, it also made me appreciate (even more) the beautiful place where I live. 

2020 also had its highlights: our third grandson arrived a few weeks ago!

Stay positive my friends. Stay safe and
 thank you for your support.

It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we are out and about. Warm outerwear has never been more important, as we meet up with friends for socially distanced coffee outdoors.

 The coat from @primark has kept me cosy during these difficult Covid times.  This pic was taken down a country lane a few weeks ago when I was visiting my parents.

And I have lived in these camo leggings from @fandfclothing for the past few months.  Walking boots and hat are old. Pop over to stories for more pics.

Writing about the importance of supplementing with Writing about the importance of supplementing with Vitamin C (particularly at the moment) on the blog. Liposomal Vitamin C is all the rage becuse it promises optimal absorption. It is all quite scientific. But what you need to know is that taking it will benefit your immune system, your energy and your skin. Did I mention this Somega is delicious? More on the blog.

From the archives. Remember when we tried on dress From the archives. Remember when we tried on dresses etc in changing rooms? And browsed in shops?
This is one that got away. Kind of wish I had bought it now @lkbennettlondon 
I am not so good at online shopping. Bought runners online in the size I normally get in that brand and they had to go back. Anyone else with the same problem?

🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) h 🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) has Ionic Brushing Superpowers! 

🪥Sounds impressive? It is!

🪥But do not ask me to explain it.Check out @ion.sei for all the science stuff. And learn about the innovative technology used in this German manufactured and Japanese inspired toothbrush. 

🪥It has to do with a UV LED light, a titanium bar and negative ions. But it is rather complicated and I am not a science geek.

🪥What I know is that my teeth  and gums feel cleaner and are cleaner. Because it actually prevents plaque from forming.

🪥Easy to use (there are 3 brushing modes) and gentle on gums, it turns off after 2 minutes. And delivers minimum 36,000 strokes in that time!!
