BECCA Undereye Brightening Corrector is my #1 product so far in 2015. That’s a strong statement, considering the amount of products I’ve tried so far this winter! The BECCA corrector neutralizes dark circles, while priming, smoothing, and adding light to the undereye area before applying your concealer. The full coverage emollient creme is infused with ultra-fine light reflecting illuminators that BECCA is known so well for. The Brightening Corrector is currently out of stock at Sephora online, but available at ULTA. The corrector retails for $29. It’s very pigmented, and a tiny bit is all you need for both eyes.

Not just meant for under eyes, the Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme is pigmented enough to work brilliantly on discolorations, acne scars, hyperpigmentation and blemishes. The concealers texture is creamy and lightweight feeling, never sticky or cakey. The Concealing Creme is quite pigmented and concentrated, so start with the tiniest amount, and build up if you need more coverage. The Concealing Creme comes in 12 long-lasting shades and retails for $32.

Have you tried either of these new products from BECCA? I’m so impressed! I’m going to be grabbing some foundation samples the next time I’m at Sephora. I’d love to hear your dark circle banishing routine! ?

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness

I don’t know about you, but facial redness is something I have no problem saying BUH-bye to! I don’t have rosacea, but I do have sensitive skin with redness on my cheeks. It Cosmetics has a unique solution to any redness you may want to say bye bye to.


IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Correcting Cream is a red neutralizing and correcting cream. Of course, because it’s from It Cosmetics, you know it’s packed with good for your skin ingredients!

Bye Bye Redness incorporates:
*hyaluronic acid
*anti aging peptides
*collagen
*aloe
*avacado
*colloidal oatmeal

What kinds of redness it is able to tackle:
*rosacea
*blemishes
*sun or wind burn
*sun damage
*age spots
*broken capillaries
*redness from physician procedures
*irritation

So, basically, everything. I liked that it’s not overly yellow for being a corrector. It’s pretty neutral, and the shade (it comes in one shade, I’d say it’s a medium tone) blends very easily into my skin. The texture is truly lovely. It’s a cream, but not heavy at all. If you’ve tried Revlon Colorstay Whipped foundation, it’s similar consistency to that. Maybe a bit smoother. Did I mention it comes with the cutest, softest baby kabuki brush ever?!

Here’s how I use it, and while it may work for me, you may need to play around with application techniques. I dip a clean q-tip into the bye bye redness jar and dab on my red areas. My cheeks are the worst, but I usually dab a little on my chin and around my nose as well. I stipple and blend it in with the kabuki brush. I was AMAZED the first time I used it! I have never found a product like this. It works amazingly well on my acne scars which are much darker than my fair skin tone.

I let it set for a few minutes and apply my IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Antiaging Concealer (review HERE). I may or may not use foundation over it, but I always set it with a powder to get all day coverage.
