It Cosmetics' Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer

Hey everyone!

It Cosmetics introduces Bye Bye Under Eye, a full coverage, highly pigmented concealer utilizing truly innovative technology and ingredients – giving women the power to finally say “bye bye” to those stubborn under-eye issues!


Bye Bye Under Eye offers a waterproof, yet moisturizing formula that will stay put no matter what. The truly innovative formula contains high concentrations of Vitamins K, A, C, E and Collagen - clinically proven to reduce under eye puffiness and discoloration while strengthening the delicate skin of the under eye area.

“This formula is so highly pigmented that just a little goes a long way. Simply use a small pea-sized amount and with your finger (or a concealer brush) gently pat under and around your eye,” says Jamie Kern, creator of It Cosmetic. “Using your pinky finger, pat a bit of concealer into the small indents along each upper side of the nose, between your bridge and the inner corner of your eyes. The skin in this area thins as we age and appears more blue, like a dark under eye circle. Concealing this area as well will make you appear instantly healthier and more youthful.”

Additionally, the ultra-fine and creamy formula won’t cling to fine lines and wrinkles thereby not making them more visible as some concealers do. Bye Bye Under Eye is great for all skin tones and comes in four shades; light, neutral medium, tan and deep.

How To Use: Apply to bare skin, underneath foundation. Set with powder if preferred. Remove with regular soap or makeup remover.

XoXo,
Whitney

Avon Be Blushed

Hey everyone!

For years, women have fallen in love with Avon’s Split Second Blush Stick. Now, Avon Global Creative Color Director Jillian Dempsey has expanded, reformulated and renamed the Avon favorite as Be Blushed – an Avon classic in the making.


Be Blushed is a twist-up blush stick that instantly imparts a natural flush. The ultra-blendable multi-purpose stick is now a wax-based formula, so it can be used on both cheeks and lips for the perfect sheer color. It goes on smooth and even for an effortlessly gorgeous hint of color that lasts for hours. Plus, the twist-up packaging makes Be Blushed the perfect portable color boost for women on-the-go. 

"A cream blush stick is a quick, easy way to get a soft wash of color,” explains Jillian Dempsey. “This is my favorite blush and it gives such a healthy flush to the cheeks. Everyone should have at least one Be Blushed!"

Jillian’s Beauty Tip: Smile to see the apples of your cheeks, and apply a dot of Be Blushed on the center. Blend with your fingers in a circular motion toward upper cheekbones. To complete your look, add a touch to your lips.

Available in 8 Shades: Icy Petal, Pink Melon, Powder Pink, Mandarin Glow, Tropical Peach, Blushing Nude, Crushed Berry and Golden Rose.

Sue Devitt Lip Products

Hey everyone!

Sue Devitt's collection of lip products features irresistibly flattering shades and revolutionary formulations drawn from nature and inspired by Sue's travels to exotic destinations around the world.

Her lip cosmetics combine color with natural antioxidants and moisture-boosting ingredients like Peptides that promote collagen production, Nylon-12 which expands and contracts with facial movements with no creasing and Marine Filling Spheres that smooth out fine lines. Sue’s lip products beautifully enhance the look of your lips, while keeping them healthy and hydrated.


From Top to Bottom:
~Long Lasting Lipliner in Safi.
~Lip Intensifier Pencil in Bellona.

Long Lasting Lipliner

Long Lasting Lipliner pencil creates additional longevity for your lipstick or can be used to enhance your own natural lip shape. The revolutionary non-feathering texture contains Nylon-12, which expands and contracts with facial movements without creasing or cracking, guaranteeing non-drying, long-lasting coverage. The perfectly shaped brush tip allows for a professional application.

Sue's Secret Beauty Tip:

Apply Long Lasting Lipliner after lipstick using light, feathering strokes, blending outward to buff color together. For a fuller-looking lip, use the lip brush applicator to apply lip gloss to the center of the bottom lip.

Lip Intensifier Pencil

Lip Intensifier Pencil, inspired by our best-selling Eye Intensifier Pencil, features a unique formulation that moisturizes while intensifying natural color to maximize the appearance of the lips and to enhance natural lip shape. This lip pencil offers a soft, velvety texture with Aloe Vera that binds moisture to the skin while locking in color that looks natural and beautiful. Marine Filling Spheres smooth out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hibiscus Extract offers antioxidant properties.

Sue's Secret Beauty Tip:

Apply Lip Intensifier Pencil over lipstick using light, quick strokes. Blend the lipliner pencil outwardly using a lip brush to buff color together, and apply Lip Enhancing Gloss to the center of the bottom lip.

Sue Devitt Seaweed Series

Hey everyone!

Sue Devitt's revolutionary Seaweed Series Foundation Products are formulated with three types of seaweed. Each Seaweed Series product contains her high performance, proprietary triple C-Weed complex that promotes skin hydration, luminosity and rejuvenation.

These nutrient-rich, treatment-focused seaweed cosmetics include everything you need to fight signs of aging, hide imperfections and prepare your skin for color. Your healthy, radiant complexion starts here.


From Left to Right:
~Triple C-Weed Whipped Foundation in Quiet & Still.
~Triple C-Weed Pressed Powder in Great Sandy Desert.
~70% Triple Seaweed Gel Foundation in Tanami.

Triple C-Weed Whipped Foundation

The Triple C-Weed Whipped Foundation features an exquisitely smooth, whipped texture. This restorative seaweed foundation dramatically evens out skin imperfections while locking in moisture, offering immediate radiance and minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A unique Australian botanical deeply hydrates and replenishes the skin's own lipid balance up to 20% to restore your natural hydration level instantly. Three types of seaweed revive delicate skin tissue, powerful antioxidant Vitamin C combats free radicals and environmental pollutants, while gentle Chamomile Extract soothes and nurtures. Suitable for all skin types and tones, the Triple C-Weed Whipped Foundation offers medium to full coverage and is oil-free.

Sue's Secret Beauty Tip:

Warm the luxurious Triple C-Weed Whipped Foundation between fingertips and massage (not rub) a small amount liberally into the skin to allow nourishing vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to penetrate the skin. Use sparingly at first and build to desired level of coverage.

Triple C-Weed Pressed Powder

Triple C-Weed Pressed Powder Foundation offers a silky smooth finish and maximum control over shine. Infused with Vitamin C, Green Tea and other powerful antioxidants to help fight free radicals, and flexible Nylon-12 locks in moisture and expands and contracts with facial movements without creasing or cracking, guaranteeing durability and long-lasting coverage. This pressed powder seaweed foundation will never settle into fine lines, ensuring a seamless finish. Portable and lightweight with an ultra modern micro-sponge, this mirrored compact is the perfect travel companion for touch-ups on the go.

Sue's Secret Beauty Tip:

Instead of using a sweeping motion to dust the pressed powder foundation, apply using a pressing motion to pat powder into the skin with the Sue Devitt Powder Brush. Dense, domed and compact, the Powder Brush reaches delicate areas under the eyes and around the nose, allowing precise application.

70% Triple Seaweed Gel Foundation

A truly revolutionary experience, this seaweed gel formulation improves skin tonality, hides imperfections, offers immediate radiance and a healthy glow. The 70% water content leaves skin looking and feeling visibly more healthy and hydrated while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Suitable for all skin types and tones, the 70% Triple Seaweed Gel Foundation offers sheer to medium coverage and is oil-free.

Sue's Secret Beauty Tip:

Blend 70% Triple Seaweed Gel Foundation gently into the skin with fingertips to ensure the delivery of restorative marine nutrients and minerals. Apply the seaweed foundation only where needed for a sheer, natural finish.
