IT Cosmetics: Celebration foundation in ˝Medium˝

A few years ago, I got quite noticeable (and I believe permanent) sun spots on my forehead and sometimes they can make me feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. I usually wear BB creams or light coverage foundations, but for my problem that is just not enough. I wanted something ˝stronger˝, for every day, without being too noticeable.


I heard about Celebration foundation by IT Cosmetics many times but was always afraid to order. Like many other makeup goodies, this is now available in our country, so you need to buy it from abroad and just keep your fingers crossed that you got the matching shade. And on top of everything, this is expensive even without delivering costs.

Anyway, I got it in the shade ˝Medium˝ and I am very happy with my selection. It might look darker in the pictures, but in person, it is on the lighter side.



This foundation is great for my mixed skin type. Although it is supposedly hydrating, it doesn’t make my T-zone greasy. I usually apply it lightly all over my face with a brush and then use a sponge for my ˝critical˝ areas. Application with a sponge provides full coverage, but it is not super noticeable. You just shouldn’t overreact with the application, building up a product might look quite heavy.


Everything blends out so nicely and quickly. My face is left with a slightly airbrushed and semi-matte finish that looks great and most importantly natural.

I always wear this alone, so I can’t tell you about compatibility with liquid foundations or BB creams. For my taste, it would be just too much. But I do wear this over my under-eye concealer and have no problems with creasing.

The packaging is not my favorite, because the product comes in a rubberized case which is hard to wipe and always full of dust and shimmery fingerprints.

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
