It Cosmetics Confidence In Your Glow Blushing Bronzer, or Neapolitan Ice Cream? You Be the Judge

April 25th, 2017 by Karen 10 Comments

Clearly, the universe doesn’t want me to go low-carb because it put these blush pans in front of my eyes.

Don’t they look like Neapolitan ice cream? Seriously, I’m starving over here.

OK, it could just be me and my tum making that jump, LOL!

At any rate, these are the new It Cosmetics Confidence In Your Glow Blushing Bronzers, and each pan has a separate bronzer, blush and highlighter.

Now available in the It Cosmetics permanent line

These are new this month and available in three combo shades. There’s Instant Nude Glow, Instant Warm Glow and Instant Natural Glow.

Peachy Nude Glow is the lightest, Warm Glow is smack dab in the middle, and Natural Glow has the deepest shades. All of them lean warm with satiny, glowing finishes similar to the MAC Extra Dimension blushes, and they’re $32 each.

Basically, It Cosmetics squished a powder bronzer, blush and highlighter together in a single pan, which isn’t exactly a brand new concept in the world of makeup (peeps have been doing it for years), but I do think these are cuter than usual.

You can use the three products in each of the pans separately, but with combo powder pan products like these, I almost never do. Most of the time I mix them together with my brush and apply the combo to my cheeks.

Smooth, and not patchy

Whenever I’m mixing multiple cheek products together, I’m always hoping that the products will blend well, but a lot of the time they end up patchy.

With these I was afraid I’d see a blob of bronzer on one part of my cheek and a spot of blush on another, but the soft, silky powders melt into each other. When you swirl your brush in the pan and sweep the combined color on your cheeks, it goes on evenly.

They’re pigmented too!

I only need one layer with any of these — two at the most.

Any blush brush should work fine with these, but the It Cosmetics One-Sweep Wonder No. 705 Brush ($48) fits perfectly in the pans and effortlessly applies and blends the powders. I think it works really well with these and might be worth the investment if you decide to get a pan.

Things can get messy, though…

If you’re a butterfingers like moi, I end up with lots of free-wheeling, excess powder in the pans around the inside edges after I use them. The bristles of my brush must kick it up, and if I forget to empty the excess before I close the compact, whoa, Nelly! — powder inevitably ends up on my clothes or the carpet.

It’s happened a few times.

The final verdict

I think these are great, especially if you’re all about low-maintenance makeup looks. Like, if you stick to tinted moisturizer, mascara, gloss, blush and/or bronzer a lot of the time, these should work perfectly for you.

They can be a bit messy, though…

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Hm, ice cream… I tend to swirl powder products together too, but I eat my ice cream separately. Is that weird?

    I can see how you get Neapolitan from these (I’m much more partial to Spumoni but only the kind with pistachio and cherry…. chocolate ice cream gags me!). 🙂

    The colors seem nice and I’ve never tried anything from It. Bummer on the mess, though. Definitely don’t need that.

    Yummy! These are pretty colors and I always like ideas for low maintenance looks. Too bad they are kind of messy. I can be a klutz sometimes, so I would definitely need to be careful.

    I’ve already seen these blended face palette and I was looking for a convenient one!
    They look great and the fact they are really pigmented pushes me to search them!
    I think Instant Warm Glow is the one I would see better on my skin after the first mini sun tans on my balcony 😀

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
