I know this is an older video but I've just discovered the Neutrogena perfector and I LOVE IT. I don't need anything with full coverage and I feel like the Neutrogena perfector gives me an even, brightened complexion. The retinol is a bonus too.
I turn off my adblock for you, Emily! I trust you so much, and appreciate the care and knowledge you bring to these videos. I feel like so many beauty gurus are mostly just shilling products for companies, but I believe in you. Thanks.
Your timing is impeccable! Got the Neutrogena Skin Perfector 2-3 wks ago. I love it! I have very oily, acne prone skin & can use it as a light coverage "foundation" that lasts @ least 6 hrs w/powder &/or setting spray. I simply dab concealer on angry spots if needed. It's perfect for running errands or when I don't have time for foundation. I don't want to go bare faced when my skin is acting up, but I don't always want a full face for Walmart either & the Neutrogena Perfector fills that gap. I love that it goes on like moisturizer w/just my hands as the tool. It disappears into my skin even while providing light coverage. Both Hubby & son thought I'd put full coverage foundation on for the store cuz my skin looked so good! Now THAT'S a testimonial for the product that they even noticed my skin & then complimented me! Wore it to a party over the wknd & 5 people said my skin looked beautiful! The cherry on top is that it's anti-aging for my 41 yr old skin.
You are wonderful and honestly very professional at what you do. A lot of the people doing RU-vid videos try being gimmicky but in my eyes they are more annoying than anything else. Another thing that you do that I really like is how you describe the product from packaging to content and how it does or does not work... Your videos show a very smart, beautiful, and educated woman which makes the rest of us look good. Thanks for your videos! It's not what you do is how you do it that counts...you are doing it well! Keep it up and thanks!
It Cosmetics is in my top five makeup brands. They have wonderful anti aging benefits, and talc free. The It cc cream is one of my favorites. I use it in place of a traditional foundation, and I sometimes mix it with Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel to give it a bit of a warm glow. I've just purchased the It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation, and I'm excited to see how it feels, and looks on the skin. If you've never tried It Cosmetics CC Radiance Ombré Blush I highly recommend it. It's very finely milled, and glides on the skin beautifully. It's become the only blush I use. Heather
Even if I'm not planning on purchasing a product, I love watching your videos because I can hear you talk forever lol, so satisfying and interesting and informative. Love your work 😊
I'm so glad I saw this video Emily. After watching it I ran out and bought the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Aging Perfector and I wanted to let you know I LOVE IT! I have used IT Cosmetics CC cream before and for me the cheaper Healthy Skin is better. The color and consistency is spot on. I felt with the expensive version I had color matching issues. Not worth the $$$ for me. I would not have know about the Neutrogena product if it wasn't for your very informative video. So I just wanted to say thanks for helping an older woman look her best.
Great review! I recently bought this before our family trip to Disney World and it performed beyond my expectations. Much better than my Maybelline BB Cream. The coverage was great and, for me, lasted all day. I did not notice any breakdown at all. I do have dry skin and normally I will see foundation breakdown around my nose.
I bought the Neutrogena anti-aging perfector today. $12 is the most I want to spend on a B.B. cream right now. I need SPF for sure and I’m definitely ok with the retinol! We’ll see how I like this new product. I almost got the Garnier skin active B.B. cream that you recommend in a newer video. If I don’t care for this one I’ll try the Garnier one. Thanks Emily!
I only found your channel a few months ago, but I am addicted to your videos :) the time and effort you put in to your explanations and demos is very much appreciated!!
soooo glad you compared it to the IT cosmetics cc cream. because that is what i am looking for a dupe ! i think i will just spring for the it cosmetics again
Yeah I have the IT cosmetics one & I really like it. I have oily skin but it still looks really nice as long as I set it with powder. The IT cosmetics Bye Bye pores powder is the best to set it with
I don't know about others but I enjoy ALL of your videos! I have learned so much from you. Thank you for all you do in the name of beauty! You are beautiful inside and out. Keep up with the amazing videos please!
Love the It cosmetics CC cream. The full coverage is amazing and stays on all day all. Take it for someone who works 12 hrs a day, so really I wear it for 14-15 hrs total.
I have to say after watching many videos, your review on the It cc cream had me sold. I like the fact that more companies are going the way of the It cc cream. To me the down fall is only 20 spf I'm very fair and am pretty darn impressed the It cosmetic one has a 50.
Thanks for the review/comparison! I love It cosmetics! Their Bye Bye Undereye is the BEST concealer I have tried yet! As far as BB and CC creams go, I can't get past how much I love the L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream to even try anything else! I love the way it applies, love the finish, love the color, and love how it controls my SUPER oily skin!! I also like the fact that I don't have to put anything over it if I don't want to. But it's always fun to see how new products work and get a glimpse of other people's opinions!
my favorite too ( it Cosmetics)... I have finally ordered and tried the majority of the products. Try the eyebrow pencil, the eyeliner and the disk with the bronzer, etc. Kind of expensive but a good treatment for yourself and your skin..
Wow....Great review Em!!!!! i've been wanting to buy the It cosmetics CC for the longest time but always put it back on the shelf because price 😏 but keep getting mixed reviews on it and yet yours were so positive! I guess this is what I needed to make my final decision.
I just found your channel over the weekend & I love it! I also used to work in local TV news & my husband works for a network. I'm so happy that I found your channel, and I enjoyed your older Dollar General videos as well. 😆
I bought IT cosmetics CC creme and found it much too heavy looking for my pale skin. I don't need all that coverage of the IT brand. I will try the Neutrogena healthy Skin Anti-Aging Perfector I need a very little amount of coverage as I don't need any concealor or much makeup. Thank you for your review.
I love this series, so thanks for doing it! However, I won't be watching this one in particular since Neutrogena is not a cruelty free brand. I love my IT Cosmetics CC cream and will continue to use it even with the cost. I want to thank you for recommending the In the Balm of Your Hand Greatest Hits Vol.1 as I love this palette and travel with it. Next stop Balm Jovi palette and the liquid lips...😚
Thanks for this review! :) I am a big fan of the It Cosmetics version because it evens out my skin and really looks natural. I also love the SPF and the fair shade is the most perfect fair neutral shade I have been able to find. If you are fair and most foundations seem too yellow or pink, this is a real winner.
Your reviews are always so informative but still fun to watch! Would love to see a review of the new Milani conceal + perfect 2-in-1 foundation + concealer, maybe compared to the Clinique beyond perfecting 2-in-1?
Great to know! I'm especially interested because it cosmetics doesn't make a shade for my skin tone. I also don't need a full coverage, so this would be great to add in my arsenal of lightweight products that I can use. Tfs Emily
I bought and started using this Argan Rain %100 Pure Argan Oil - something is really But my face looks seriously smoother and brighter. Pores slightly smaller. I use it in the evening religiously. Sometimes in am if I know I won't be outside in sun. I have fair skin and am over 50.
Rimmel Radiance BB cream is my all time favorite bb cream. I've tried high end brands and asian brands. I will buy it until they no longer make it probably. Great coverage and looks natural.
Emily, have you heard about the Maybelline Dream Urban Cover that was released in the UK? The UK youtubers are saying it’s a dupe for IT CC. It’s only at BOOTS and not even on Maybelline’s webpage. The tube looks just like IT CC.
I just purchased the it cosmetics cc cream and I was looking at the ingredients it has snail secretion filtrate in it and yes its from actual snails. love your channel!
i LOOOOVE IT cosmetics CC cream! i only use it on special occasions tho because of the price. but wow! it's a miracle for my skin. i have some rosacea redness weird dry patches and it covers my problem areas beautifully. Also the scent is like Lemon pie! I kept wondering what does the Neutrogena smell like as you were applying it!
Love the new idea of these dupe or dud videos! i think your skin looks beautiful with the freckles showing through on the neutrogena side! great one for the summertime! I'll have to try it!
Loving this series from you, Emily! So far both of the higher end products you are comparing these to are ones that I own so I find it quite interesting to see how the more affordable items hold up. Have a blessed day.
emily, you could talk about paint drying and I would totally lay here with my mouth open completely engrossed in what you have to say lol! what an awesome review. love that you do voice over while actually applying products and not just watching it on your arm or something. I live how polished and refined you are, how real you are...(I could go on all night) haha. God bless you
Great comparison video, both products unfortunately are not available in Australia. My favorite CC cream is Bourjois , not sure how this will compare with two others mentioned
I was just looking at this last night and thinking of trying it and then you pop up with a review on it yay!! You actually helped me decide to give it a try. I kinda like some of my freckles and imperfections to show through on most days and if its got anti aging properties then that's a bonus. Thanks so much for this, as always so helpful. I'll try to remember to come back and let you know how it works for me :)
What a timely video as I was just about to head to Walgreens to pick up Neutrogena's Healthy Skin foundation, and I was trying to figure out which second product to grab at 50% off. Double Woohoo since I cannot tolerate It Cosmetics - it had too many irritating ingredients and fragrance, I believe. Thanks Emily!
Hey Emily! Have you seen the new clinique product? It's like a scrub and lip product in one. It has a scrub on one side and a lip product on the other. It looks interesting. Love you!
Yes this is a nice product . I feel like it enhanced my skin tone and like it set in a nice velvet bright soft Matte way . If that makes sense . It’s very nice and I appreciate it❤
I bought the Nuetrogena one and I actually liked the original one The healthy skin Enhancer better, I ended up returning the one you just reviewed, had no coverage or staying power, thanks gor the review, been waiting for someone to finially review this product!
I know this is 7 years old.... I just found out the healthy skin enhancer is discontinued. I was hoping this might be similar. Any recommendations would be appreciated!! I used that stuff for YEARS!!! I hate when they take away our products. 😣
need to get this product, i live Texas and this is going to be perfect i don't need full coverage just sun protection and retinol, thanks for the review. God bless you.
Hi Emily, love your chanel ! Would love see a review on the Ulta & Sephora "store brand " makeup, maybe the eye shadow and foundation? I have Not seen 👀 anyone do one any where. Thanks for your very detailed and honest opinions. Have a blessed day!
That it cosmetics isn't hydrating for me but over moisturizer it is an amazing coverage for all the reasons you mention. I really like the concept of this series. Well I hope it's a series. Thanks Emily.
This is a great video Emily. I always look forward to your videos. I love my IT cosmetics CC cream. I wore it today with the Celebration Illumination foundation by IT. It is one product that stays put throughout the day. I have dry skin and it really helps to moisturize my skin.
I really wish IT Cosmetics would expand their shade range. Sadly, none color match me and I want to try it out. Maybe in Neutrogena, I can find a match. Thank you for the review :)
I realize they do only have a few colors, but if you haven't tried it out on your face, give it a shot at Ulta. It looks much darker in the tube than it actually looks on your face. It still might not work for you, but just a heads up!
Chelsea Wilcox I did and the Ulta employee gave the news a lot of people don't want to hear, "We don't have a shade for you". The Tan isn't deep enough for my skin and the shade rich is too dark. I am right in the middle and for that price I am not buying two to mix. I will do that for drug store, but not for high end products.
Looks pretty good for those days when I wanna even out some redness but not go the whole nine yards. and I love the healthy skin foundation, so I'll probably give this a go!
I have tried the BB , but didn't like the finish on my face. Right now having trouble finding a makeup that looks good on my face. I am 60 so i think that is one of my problems. Love ur videos.
Thank you Emily, my daughter and I were just talking foundations w/spf. I agree with you in that the IT CC spf 50 is the best in more coverage, but I don't think my daughter needs the coverage and I think she would be happy with what the Neutrogena would offer her. I think it's great it has an spf 60, nice.
Your skin really looks good in this video, so while the Neutrogena has less coverage, I don't feel you need this right now. I am a big fan of the IT CC cream, but I may try the Neutrogena one for casual days.
Great video, Emily! Did u check out the new Tarte "Rainforest of the Sea" collection? It looks awesome and is love for u to give us ur thoughts on the products! Especially the concealer, foundation, and lip products (tinted lip balms and lipsticks) Thanks!~Lena
I saw a product at target by la roche posey called roseliac cc cream. That would be a good comparison to the it cc cream. it's closer in price too. Great video!
Love this series of videos. Also it's just in time as I was waiting for the It foundation in my shade as the Ulta was all sold out. Can't wait to get it and try it for myself. Side note: I almost don't recognize you from your no make up face to your completed look! Just gorgeous!
Can you please demo and/or dupe the IT bye bye undereye? I have a couple tubes and cannot seem to get it to work-a little too thick. Would love to see how you apply it. thanks so much :-)
I love, love, love the Loreal BB cream, the coverage is great! Any thoughts on the new It cosmetics full coverage moisturizer? I saw her infomercial but haven't heard anyone talk about it.
I've been on the look out for a BB/CC that could even out my skin tone. I saw the Neutrogena SAAP at the drugstore and was wondering how well it worked. thanks for the great review!
I have the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation and wonder if its the same as the CC+ Cream. They have the same SPF and is called a tinted moisturizer. Have you heard of it? It was on an infomercial
Dang! I've never been interested in the It Cosmetics one until now. After seeing the coverage and staying power on your skin, I gotta try it! Those are 2 very important things to me!
Always So Happy when I see my Favorite RU-vidr has made another video:). You have NO idea how much I look forward to seeing Em in her element!!!! Huge Hugs Em, XoXo. P.S. I'm in St. Louis, I know how darn coooold it is out....Keep yourself Healthy and Warm Girlfriend:)
I only use bbs , ccs, etc because foundation doesn't work on my DRY skin. I mix the neutrogena with the new phys. Formula insta bb and I love the coverage and staying power. Doesn't cling to dry patches and wears all day which is unusual for bb/cc products.
Hi Emily, I also am a "IT Girl". I have been using this CC cream for some time now and very pleased with the coverage and staying power. Love your videos and have learned a lot of new tips and techniques. I really like your drugstore hauls and have been having fun doing my own "hauls".How about a video with the new Tarte products that have recently come out?
What a great video. I LOVE the IT CC Cream. It's hands down one of my favorite foundations. I say foundation because the coverage is wonderful. But it would be nice to have a lower priced alternative. I'll have to give this one by Neutrogena a try.
