IT Cosmetics Your Most Beautiful You 6-pc Collection.

You know I am all about the great beauty deals on QVC, and today's TSV is a good one. It is a 6 piece collection from IT Cosmetics. You know the people that bring you High Performance, Skin Loving, Problem Solutions. They have put together Your Most Beautiful You 6-pc Collection and it will have you looking your best from the get go.

IT Cosmetics Your Most Beautiful You 6-pc Collection

The 6-piece collection includes:

Bye Bye Under Eye® - This is one of my favorite concealers ever, as it hides a multitude of flaws. It is highly pigmented and offers full coverage so it covers even the darkest of circles and, ahem, age spots. The consistency is so creamy good. It was developed with plastic surgeons so it is formulated with the good stuff like hydrolyzed collagen plus Vitamin K to help treat dark circles too. What I really love about this concealer is that it never ever cracks or creases as it lasts all day.

Heavenly Luxe™ Dual Airbrush Foundation/Concealer Brush - This brush is perfect for applying Bye Bye Under Eye®. I use the concealer end around my eyes and the fuller, foundation brush end for dotting over my hyperpigmentation and age spots. It blends it out to evenly and smooth.

Hello Light™ Anti-Aging Crème Luminizer - This soft illuminator completely erases shadows, sallowness and any type of darkness on the skin as it gives off a subtle lightening effect. It is superior to most other luminizers I have tried as this does not highlight fine lines or wrinkles, like so many tend to do. This includes some super powerful anti-aging ingredients like peptides, hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, silk and some Vitamins to hydrate, condition and nourish the skin while it makes it glow.

Heavenly Luxe™ Pointed Precision Complexion Brush - This perfectly shaped lush brush applies Hello Light™ with ease. I use it to apply the luminizer on the tops of my cheekbones, brow bone and right on the top of my upper lip, where it sinks it.

YBBB™ Your Brows But Better™ Brow Power Skinny Pencil - I don't know how this works so well, but this super skinny brow pencil adheres to the skin, taming the brows as it fills them in perfectly. The one universal shade works on everyone too. I use it on my medium-brown brows, my daughter uses it on her black brows, and my mother uses it on her blonde brows. The shade works great for us all.

Vitality Lip Blush™ Hydrating Gloss Stain - This is a brand new product for IT and it makes the perfect final addition to the collection. This gloss is infused with nine ultra-rich butters and oils to hydrate lips to the max. Collagen and peptides nourish the lips, while hyaluronic acid plumps the lines to make lips look smoother. The shade is a very natural looking lip color, but it offers a lot of lasting power and high shine. I like this alone for a naturally, beautiful look.

All you have to do is choose your concealer shade, and the rest of the collection will come as is. Choose from Light, Medium, Tan or Deep. I am using the shade Medium right now. My winter shade would definitely be Light.

The IT Cosmetics Your Most Beautiful You 6-pc Collection is item #A235134 and the Today's Special Value price is $59.96. Now remember, this deal is ONLY good today Saturday, July 13, 2013. The link to purchase Saturday, July 13, 2013 ONLY is http://qvc.co/ItCosmetics_TSV.
