When I was compiling a list of beauty products to get from Sephora in Sydney, one of the brands I really wanted to check out was IT Cosmetics. This brand and most of its products were highly raved by Emily from Beauty Broadcast. When I visited a number of Sephoras in Malaysia, I noticed that they didn’t stock this brand so I made doubly sure to hit the IT Cosmetics shelves when I popped into the Sydney branch.
I picked up several items from the brand and one of them was the CC+ Radiance Ombre Blush in Je Ne Sais Quoi. You know that I had to try out a blush, I mean come on! 😛 I didn’t really know which ones to get, so I settled on the prettiest blush I could and that’s the Ombre Blush. I’m a sucker for ombre blushes, I really am.
Je Ne Sais Quoi is a pretty peachy pink blush that leaves a matte finish on the skin. It’s very finely milled and you can “feel” the quality of the blush; it’s not gritty and doesn’t create any powder fallout. This is the sort of universal blush I’d recommend to anyone (to be honest, not so much of NARS’ Orgasm).
The blush wears well and long. I have no complaints about it at all. The packaging is sturdy. It may not look fancy on the outside but the product more than makes up for it. As the name would suggest, it does give a bit of radiance to the skin!
If you’re a blush fiend like I am and you see this blush, do give it a go! Methinks you’ll like it as much as I do too. 🙂
IT Cosmetics’ CC+ Radiance Ombre Blush in Je Ne Sais Quoi retails at AU$39.00. As I mentioned earlier, I bought this at Sephora Sydney. The Sephora in the US does not stock IT Cosmetics; at least, it’s not available on the Sephora US website. In the US, IT Cosmetics is available at Ulta (this blush retails at US$24.00).
Yes, IT Cosmetics is stocked in Ulta in the US. This brand is a hit/miss for me. Their CC+ foundation – thumbs down. The It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness – thumbs up!! I haven’t seen the ombre blush in stores, but I see on the web site that it’s “New”.
Funny you should mention Nars Orgasm blush. I have the duo blush/laguna bronzer and I wore it today. The bronzer is nice, but I think I’m so over the blush. It’s just so sparkly and doesn’t pack any pigment punch. It’s just not a good stand alone blush for me. I’d rather wear Mac’s peaches and maybe use orgasm as a highlight 🙂

I haven’t tried their CC+ foundation yet. Thumbs down eh? Right, I’ll strike that off my to-buy list then. And add the Bye Bye Redness in!
NARS Orgasm doesn’t do much for me. I don’t really know why it’s so popular; it barely shows on my skin and like you said, it’s so sparkly. That Super Orgasm is even worse.
