Happy Monday from Vegas, friends! It’s our first big out of town tournament, and it’s definitely an experience!  I love watching her play, but it’s pretty much round-the-clock volleyball! Pretty sure I’ll be hearing whistles from 100 courts for the rest of the week, ha!

We did have last night off, so some of us surprised our girls with tickets to Cirque de Soleil’s ‘O‘… I highly recommend it for pretty much all ages if you get the chance! I didn’t realize how much I’d missed performance shows, and was practically giddy in my seat the entire time.

Speaking of giddy… IT Cosmetics is having their annual Friends & Family Sale today, with 30% off for Love It Rewards members, and 25% off for non-members! (Membership is fast and free HERE!) PLUS, an extra 10% off all makeup today and tomorrow only!! That’s a huge savings!

They offer tons of cult favorites from makeup to skincare to brushes, but it’s the CC Cream+ with Illumination that I’m grabbing first!

IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream Illumination Full-Coverage Foundation with SPF 50+

I’ve been wearing IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream Illumination for as long as I can remember! It’s a lightweight full-coverage foundation that covers my uneven skin tones and blemishes, but doesn’t sit like a layer of makeup on my face. Meaning, it evens me out (reducing the appearance of acne scarring, wrinkles, redness, dark circles ,and large pores), but has such a natural finish that it looks like my skin, not like foundation.

What makes the Illumination formula so incredible is it has light-reflecting pigments that give a natural radiance and glow, without glimmer or shimmer! Our skin dulls as we age, but the IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream Illumination Foundation gives me back a youthful glow.

It also has hydrating anti-aging serum and SPF 50… so it covers both my foundation and sunscreen.

Here’s an unfiltered Before & After of my face with just the IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream Illumination. (I’m wearing ‘light medium,’ applied with the Heavenly Luxe Complexion Perfection brush.)

I always grab a new tube on sale, and keep a range of colors on hand to adjust to my skin tone year round. I wear everything from ‘light‘ to ‘medium tan‘, depending on the season.

You know who else wears IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream Illumination? Mama Sugarplum!! It’s all she wears and she swears by the natural, youthful glow! I mean, hello… I’ll have what she’s having!

If Illumination isn’t for you, there are three other formulas of this best-selling foundation to choose from. (It was voted the #1 Prestige SPF Foundation in the US!) The original CC+ Cream has a matte finish, perfect if you prefer to add highlight yourself.
