Lancôme has launched some amazing new products for fall 2016, and has given a facelift to some of their cult-favorites. They were perfectly presented in this beautiful picnic basket, and let me tell you… this is my kind of picnic!

IT Cosmetics It’s Your Top 5 Superstars QVC TSV

These incredible QVC TSV offers are the #1 smartest way to shop IT Cosmetics. As it is, these value sets of product always have a low pricetag. When they are featured as a TSV though? Well then that LOW pricetag gets slashed to a too-low-to-pass-up level. The IT Cosmetics It’s Your Top 5 Superstars Collection contains customer favorites, so IT Cosmetics addicts will be happy to replenish their stash for a steal. A new Heavenly Skin Foundation Brush is also included, featuring a gorgeous floret design. The little details count in my book!

Today’s TSV includes the following:

Celebration Foundation Illumination– If you want to see how amazing Celebration Foundation is, you should click here. I NEVER post before and after photos, but this product works so jaw-droppingly well I had to show everyone.
Bye Bye Under Eye– This concealer has ingredients that actually work as an anti-aging treatment while you wear it! This amazing concealer delivers full-coverage that looks smooth and even.
Brow Power– I adore this little triangle-shaped pencil! The unique shape makes it easy to use for a thin like or broad filling, and the opposite side has an eyebrow brush for convenience.
Je Ne Sais Quoi– This moisturizing lip balm is intended to give the lips some TLC, but it simultaneously flushes to a universally flattering pink shade!
Superhero Mascara– This fan favorite delivers volume, lift, length… and a sexy deep black color.
Heavenly Skin Full-Coverage Foundation Brush– I LOVE LOVE LOVE all IT Cosmetics Heavenly Skin brushes. They are, hands down, the best makeup brushes I have ever used! Well this new full-coverage blush has a special added detail. It looks like a blooming rose! I can’t imagine a prettier finishing touch for such an amazing brush. This brush works beautifully for buffing Celebration Foundation onto the skin.

As usual, the price of this TSV remains a mystery! I’ll be sure to update this post as soon as I am able, but in the meanwhile you can click HERE to shop for this TSV on QVC.com and see what the steal will be! If you’d like to see more from the brand you can shop IT Cosmetics online at QVC, Ulta, Sephora, and ITCosmetics.com.

IT Cosmetics F&F Sale Starts TODAY!

Just the other day, a friend of mine asked me if I had any experience with IT Cosmetics. I had actually been wearing IT Cosmetics the day she and I met for coffee, so I went on an exited rampage telling her about some of the products I use and how amazing they are. Then a day later I get an email announcing that the IT Friends & Family Sale is starting TODAY 11/1/16, and running through 11/6/16! The discount is 25% off using the code ITFRIENDS, and any order of $30 or more qualifies. Perfect timing for my friend (and you) to get to know this brand if you haven’t tried it already!
