It Cosmetics CC Radiance Palette

 
 
The palette is a fairly new release for it cosmetics and I found this available at ulta.com while browsing. This consists of a Bronzer a Blush and a Brightening power
 
 
All the colors on this palette are pigmented smooth bearable and like any It Cosmetic product does not disappoint. The colors are very universal and I find that most skin tones can use all the products quite easily. The finished look that this gives is very effortless and natural. 
 

 
 
 

 
T to B : Bronzer , Blush and Brighter
 


I find that what makes this palette unique is the brightening power that comes with it . This powder is not your usual  highlighting powders you find with every blush Bronzer  highlight palettes. It gives you the most natural glow from within look. If you like the shimmery highlighters that packs a punch this is not or you. If you have mature skin and want just a beautiful glow that does not look overdone and looks pretty and effortless this is your best friend. Used lightly this can also be used under your eyes for a brightening effect and it is almost impossible too over do this



Brightening Power


The Blush gives you a pretty flush to your cheeks and I find that this will work with almost any skin tone. While it is Matt it is not flat. This is more of a satin on your cheeks and blends beautifully and looks like skin. If you have fair skin you will need to use a light hand since this is a very pigmented blush. This color is very similar to the blush that comes on the Vitality face disk.

Blush

This Bronzer seems to be the same Bronzer that it Cosmetics makes however it is more pigmented. If you are  Tan or lighter this will work as a beautiful Bronzer and if you are darker this can be used as a sitting powder or a all over powder. It blends easily and looks beautiful. Very light skin can probably use this as a contour  tho on my skin this leans more warm

L to R : Brightening Power , Blush, Bronzer
All in all I think what makes this palette worth your while is the brightening powder that comes with it. While the blush and the Bronzer are not unique shades they still do look beautiful. If you do decide to invest on this I believe you will not be disappointed

MAC Mineralize Lipstick in Touch the Earth

This lipstick is from the Lightness of Being Collection and is the only shade of lipstick I was drawn to. It is described as a Light wood brown on the Mac site. I find this to be a cool tone taupe with a bit of tiny bit mauve




 The Mac Mineralized lipstick formula is one of my favorite formulas that they make and this is no exception. Its creamy and pigmented with a beautiful sheen to it. If you are a dark skin girl this color would be a beautiful nude.

Touch the Earth
I find that the most similar color that I have for this color is "to Pamper" lipstick from Mac which is a luster and is one of my all time favorite nudes. Unfortunately this was a limited edition color. To Pamper is a touch more grey. Our Pick Mac lipstick is also similar however is more pigmented and a has more pink/mauve to it
