Radiant…
That’s a word that gets used a lot in beauty circles, isn’t it?
“Her skin was so radiant that one could read by it!” It’s like, naw, forget the candles. Just bring that girl with the radiant skin over here, badum-bum! 🙂
Speaking of radiance (how’s that for a lazy girl segue)…I’m kind of lovin’ the CC+ Radiance Palette by It Cosmetics ($38). The bronzer, blush and highlighter make me feel fresh-faced and bright.
Must be the finishes. They all have a little sheen to ’em, which adds a soft glow to the skin.
Oh, and the wear time? Exceptional. If Tabs refrains from rubbing his forehead all over my face, I get around 10-11 hours of great color from them.
In the pic below I’m wearing the blush and bronzer (the highlighter I’m wearing is the new Aura by Urban Decay — review coming soon).
You can find It Cosmetics CC+ Radiance now at Ulta stores and online.

It seems like the colors would work good for fair skin. I’m still hunting for the perfect contour shade since I’m super pale.
Karen says
Hi Sam, I think so too. The level of intensity is pretty flexible too. It’s easy to sheer out or build up!
Genesis Callejas says
You look gorgeous once again. What foundation are you using here?
Karen says
Hi Genesis, I’m wearing Laura Mercier’s Flawless Fluide applied with a Beauty Blender.

Whoa! 😀 Gorgeous!
Uh, Karen… it’s evening here, and a couple of bulbs have blown in our household. If you could just, you know, maybe stand a bit closer? Just for a couple of seconds while I finish reading this chapter, OK? Thanks so much! <3

Kiss & Make-up says

You looking gorgeous Karen.. Though the palette doesnt seem to impress me as the shades wont look great against my skin but you made them work girl.. 🙂
Dee says
So pretty !! Did you get to try the Sephora Divergent Palette when it came out earlier this year Karen?They had a blush/contour/highlight thingy with a similar concept and it is just…the bomb.Thats been my HG since I found it but I always welcome intros to any new palettes in this space ! ty
Karen says
Hi Dee,
I saw it and swatched it but didn’t walk away with it. Glad to hear you love it! It’s always wonderful to find a HG.
Have a great week!

sooooo excited to see IT COSMETICS on your page! i have been waiting anxiously to hear your thoughts on their products. I ordered their cc cream a few weeks ago and upon trying to decide on color, I checked your blog and was shocked to find out you had not used or reviewed it yet :/
I would fully recommend it! you will probably be the Tan color 😀
been wearing it all week and gotten lots of compliments (after setting it with a bronzer) but definitely has a dewy finish like you like.
bring on more IT COSMETICS reviews please 😀
Karen says
Hi Yelena,
I’ve tried a couple things from them so far (powder products) and have been enjoying them so far! And thank you for recommending the CC Cream. I will check it out. 🙂
Nicole says
Karen, you are stunning! =)
Karen says
You’re so sweet, Nicole. I hope that you had a great weekend! Did you do anything fun?
Kim says
Oh, wow – that is pretty great. I also like the flecky look of the color correcter in the pan. Your skin always looks nice but it definitely has a little extra glow in this pic. And I like how you’ve highlighted the inner corners of your eyes. It’s a good look. 🙂
Marisa says
I want that Aura highlight! I may have to haul it this Saturday 🙂
zFashionizta says
I have this palette and it’s
FAB-U-LOUS!
I was afraid bronzer would be to dark for me (I’m NW20) but it is perfect.
Kathy Smith-Woodcock says
I have this palette and I love it, will have to pull it out again.
