Their brushes are super cute! I also love the idea of the pores blush! I’ve never heard of IT Cosmetics so something new for me!
I enjoy having a few minutes to apply make-up. It’s some me time that I treat myself with.
This is an awesome brand. I have a few things from IT cosmetics and I have always been super happy with them.
I feel beautiful as a mom when I take time to put on my makeup or spend a little extra time on my hair.
I have heard of It cosmetics but have never used their products. I love how I feel when I put makeup on . It makes me feel special.
Being a mom of two young children means little sleep for me. So my number one makeup step for confidence is concealer. I have to cover up those dark circles! I also love wearing a daring shade of lipstick!
I think foundation makes me feel beautiful because you can hide anything you do not like but you can still see the natural beauty in yourself.
What makes me feel beautiful in my beauty routine is using quality products, like moisturizers. I think it makes me feel spoiled and like I’m taking great care of my skin! Thanks for the giveaway, too!
I recently discovered it cosmetics on a TV commercial. Then I went out and purchased a couple of products and I love them. I definitely want that brush set it would be fantastic to win .
I always feel more beautiful as a mom when I take the time to do my makeup. Even though sometimes I don’t feel like it, I make sure to apply my makeup before I go out. Some of my makeup steps include foundation, blush, eyeliner, and mascara.
Thanks for the chance to win!

For me the must beauty routine for my face is using a facial scrub at least once a week followed by a moisturizer.
My kids constantly make me feel beautiful!
I always use a rich, creamy moisturizer because I have dry skin. I also never leave home without mascara. On date nights I add eyeshadow, blush, concealer and lip gloss.
Gifts like these would definitely make someone very happy. I think a nice new set of IT cosmetics brushes would be great.
I’ve never tried IT cosmetics, but now I want to! I am really interested din that Pores blush. Sounds like something I need!!
I would love to win some of these! My makeup routine needs a serious overhaul!
I read somewhere that you need to change your makeup kids every so often, and I am at that point. I love the brushes kit. I agree we all need them in our basic kits 🙂
I like to wash my face at night and in the mornings with Noxema. It helps my face to feel soft and smooth and refreshing. I also like to wear a soft pink lip liner and lip stick. One other thing i really like is a light concealer/ coverup and that really makes my skin look softer.
Some of the steps in my beauty routine that help me feel my best are having my hair done, putting on a concealing base to eliminate my redness, and keeping my nails done. These help me feel pretty while still doing mom duty.
I don’t think I’ve had more than five hours sleep a night since my youngest was born, so concealer is a must-have step for me. Otherwise, the bags under my eyes are truly scary 🙂
OH gosh these are perfect for my Mom. She wears a little bit of makeup but like me , not a whole lot. I would love to spoil her for her Birthday in June with these ideas!
It cosmetics is one of my fav beauty brands. I use so much of their skincare and makeup!
I like putting on lipstick. Makes me feel glamorous.
Wow this would make a wonderful gift for a mom who loves her makeup… I know a dear friend whose birthday is coming up and she loves her makeup…
I’ll be honest. No beauty routine here but I would LOVE to work on that and add some IT cosmetics. The products look really great!
What a great giveaway and I do like the look of that ‘bye bye pores blush’. It looks like IT Cosmetics has a great selection of products.
I’ve heard of IT Cosmetics, and have only heard great things about them. I’ve never personally given them a try, because I’m sort of addicted to Neutrogena.
I love putting on a little blush, mascara & some lip color just enough to make my face brighten up.
I wish that my mom would wear makeup. She hasnt worn any in 20+ years. I don’t think shes every cared for it. That’s where we are total opposites.
I love when I add my finishing touch of my fave red lipstick. It makes me feel beautiful.
I really love these brushes. I need new ones and these are beautiful and I think they will work.
Aaaaaaw these look so very cute. I know they are not just cute but I just look the sleek looks and colors.
I make sure I wash my face every night and drink plenty of water. I use face moisturizer daily and I don’t wear much makeup.
I make sure to wash off all makeup before I go to bed, exfoliate once a week and drink water. All these steps help my skin stay clean and free from rash or acne.
Omg I love giveaways! Count me in! I have never tried IT cosmetics but I am thinking I will like it.
I’ve seen the commercial for this! How awesome! I actually don’t have much of a routine. But using my glow lotion from Herbalife really helps me to feel beautiful.
Some of the steps in my beauty routine to make me feel good as a mom is making sure I clean my face and moisturize but getting up and putting on the make up makes me feel good!
Putting eyeliner and mascara on does it for me. I will skip them on days I don’t feel my best and it always makes me feel like I don’t look my best, also.
Some steps in my beauty routine that I do religiously are moisturizing my face and lips every night. Another thing I like is mascara can’t go without it.
Nice giveaway who does not like good quality make up? I am addicted to it I confess =) Hoping I win thanks Maria!!!
I have my makeup routine down to a science. I can get it done in under 5 minutes. I keep it simple with foundation blush and mascara. I’m a huge fan of bare minerals.
I love how my face feels after washing it in the evening and adding a moisturizer. I try to drink plenty of water so my skin stays hydrated. IT cosmetics have great products.
I love IT cosmetics. They have always been one of my favorite brands, and I don’t think I have ever had anything from them that I don’t like lol. I do think that skin care is the most important part of a beauty routine, including drinking enough water!
Ooh I love it all especially that blush. I’m always up for getting new makeup! The best is when you get it gifted on Mother’s Day!
I honestly have never tried this brand before. I think it’s awesome that they’re giving products away for people to test and enjoy! I’m really interested in that blush!
That’s a lovely gift for moms! Especially if she loves make-up. Those brushes sound amazing and it’s definitely a must have in your make-up kit!
What makes me feel the best is a nice, light moisturizer. It makes my skin feel soft and refreshed.
I don’t have much time to enjoy this so I just take a few minutes every morning to apply makeup to make me feel prettier.
I love IT Cosmetics, especially their brushes. They are so soft and really help make application easier. They are great gifts for mom and any makeup lover on your list.
I’m a huge fan of It Cosmetics. Their products are so well made and really deliver on their promises. I have one of their brushes and really want to get more.
Great products! Thank you for sharing. I love the je ne sais quoi lip polish! I am going to have to grab it next time I’m in Sephora.
I LOVE IT Cosmetics. I do my best to wash my face with a good cleanser every night!
Love this post! I have to get new makeup soon! The Brushes in this post look great!
These look so nice. I love my beauty routine and it always starts with a great moisturizing ritual.
These are all great. I don’t wear that much makeup anymore, but my daughter would love this. I will have to tell her about it.
I like the travel brush set. I just bought an eyeliner by It Cosmetics and love it. The gel liner is the best.
I love putting on my lipstick and blending it.
These are all looks beautiful and such a good giveaway, I think I’m in love with the brushes for applying my make up so quick and the beautiful finish of it.
What a nice giveaway! I really need to be better about washing my face every night!
Putting on my moisturizer helps to wake up my skin. Applying lipstick in different colors helps me to express myself.
When all is said and done after the kids are up and getting ready I’m doing my hair and getting just mascara on.
This brand is few for me. Hope the products are perfect for sensitive skin.
Feeling and looking my best with a beautiful skincare routine. Drink lots of water to have a constant glow.
I always use moisturizer and eye cream, it’s definitely an important step in my routine. I always wear eyeliner too!
I have always wanted to try this brand, I have heard such great things about their performance
Having time by myself without interruptions while I’m doing my makeup makes me feel the best!!
Applying a moisturizer and mascara (if not other makeup) makes me feel beautiful as a mom. I feel I don’t look so tired when I have mascara on.
One of the most important skincare routine that I have is to wash your face and apply sunscreen if you’re going out. I’ve tried several products of It Cosmetics and I definitely recommend it!
Ooooo so many fabulous products!!! I need new makeup brushes super bad so I would love to get those as a gift!!!
Some of my beauty routine steps include moisturizing, using a good foundation to cover all my little wrinkles, and putting some mascara on my lashes! I really believe in sticking to a beauty routine even if I’m just sitting on the couch!
The best thing to make myself feel beautiful is putting on my lipstick, I accutally use liner and two different lipsticks. Since my fiance loves my smile it makes me feel sexy.
What makes me feel beautiful is getting up and putting good quality make up that last and looks good all day! I can go with out some make up, but I have to have my eyes made up if I leave the house!! Thanks for the fun Giveaway
I love makeup I have a bad complexion, I feel foundation helps cover it up & powder. This I do my eyes that makes them look more awake and better.
Some of the ways I feel beautiful as a Mom in my beauty routine is when I have the right undereye concealer, black mascara & liner and the perfect shade of lipstick. Of course having a good hair day helps as well!
I feel beautiful after exfoliating, washing, toning and moisturizing my skin. It feels so good to have a clean face and smooth. There are days when it’s not but have to love it when it does happen.
I always feel better in the morning after I’ve put on moisturizer, mascara and highlighter. I love the glow on my face in the morning. It makes my face feel refreshed and beautiful.
Oh I have to say one of my favorite steps is moisturizing! My face always feels so good and fresh when I am done!
Beauty Steps that help me feel pretty is just putting on my makeup and doing my hair.
Yay for all of the amazing Mama’s out here! We are all the MVP, lol. I really love a simple look with a small contour, one color eyeshadow with a nude lip. It makes me feel pretty!
Some of the things I do to make me feel so special is to get my hair and nails done on a regular basis. I try to make sure that I get 8 hours sleep (Notice the word try) then I get up before anyone else, take a shower, get a cup of coffee and try to relax before the rat race begins.
I take some time to do my nails, hair and apply some make-up to feel special.
I like the BB Creams. They combine a light coverage with a moisturizer. So it’s super fast and easy.
Some of my steps is to have a nice hairdo, and wear blush, eyeshadow and eyliner and mascara. I love wearing makeup and getting all dressed up!
As long as I have some eye makeup on, I feel human. Other than that, I’m pretty easy going with the beauty routine.
I enjoy taking the time to do my makeup and skincare routine, it may not happen everyday but always feel good when it does!
These days my beauty routine consists of putting on lotions and moisturizers. I don’t wear make up that much anymore and to tell you the truth my skin has never looked better I get compliments on it.
Adding moisturizer on my always dry skin makes me feel much better and I love wearing mascara.
I love putting on makeup!! It makes me feel good and ready for the day!
I am not lucky enough to be a mom, but being 50, the right makeup makes me feel like I’m young again!!
I like using a gentle facial cleanser to clean my face and then follow with a moisturizer. Once a week I like to do a facial starting with placing a warm wash clothe over my face to open up the pours. I like to do my nails while I’m doing a facial.
Two of the most important steps that are part of my everyday beauty routine are thoroughly cleansing my face and applying sunscreen. Then, I feel even more confident whenever I apply on liquid eyeliner and a good mascara. Thanks for the giveaway! I love this brand.
I never leave the house without at least minimal makeup. Foundation, blush, eyeliner and mascara are a must for me.
Washing my face at night. Putting on a reinol. Moisturize in morning with sunscreen and drink lots of water during the day!
Exfoliating my skin in a nice warm shower makes me feel great.
Moisturizing well in the morning and evening and covering up my imperfections with concealer.
My makeup process is pretty much very basic. SPF moisturizer, a little foundation, and powder. But once I put on that lipstick I feel extra fabulous! Especially if its a perfect nude or a super bright red.
I make sure my face is properly cleansed and moisturized. I apply makeup with a light hand, as I am old, and don’t want to look like an old clown!
I always feel more beautiful as a mom when I take the time to get ready and get out of my t shirt. I love putting on mascara and eyeliner as well as lipliner and perfume.
Entering for my wife. She would love this.
My wife is a natural beauty to me but at 50ish she says she needs some help.
Using a body scrub helps me to feel beautiful by making my skin feel soft and moisturized! I also love for it to leave a subtle scent to really make me feel beautiful!
I like hydrating moisturizer to soften my usually dry skin.
I go all natural, I don’t feel I need to doll up to be a beautiful mom. Once in a blue moon, I will go the extra mile for my husband and get dolled up, but as far as daily, I do well enough to keep the house clean. My daughter on the other hand is all about her make up.
I like using a good facial wash and moisturizer.
I always put blush on. It brightens up my face!
On my beauty routine I have to use a primer before I do anything else. My skin has some pock mark and the primer helps smooth them out. I then put on my cover up and it looks good. I take my time doing my make up cause if I don’t it looks bad.
I feel beautiful by eating right, drinking lots of water, taking good care of my skirt with sunscreen and moisturizer.
My beauty routine is pretty simple. I use primer, loose powder, blush, eye shadow, mascara & lipstick. The lipstick especially makes me feel put together & beautiful!
I like to take some time every night to make sure my skin is healthy. I’ve started a skin care routine that I do once the kids fall asleep. I’m trying to get healthy skin under my makeup as well.
I don’t wear much makeup, but do make sure I buy a decent foundation and lipstick.
Well I really haven’t worn makeup in awhile…..but seeing this brand makes me think I’d like to.
Simple moisturizing and cleansing each day is what makes me feel beautiful.
I use a tinted moisturizer and I feel like it has my skin glowing. I like that it is simple and easy to do.
I try to keep my routine simple and budget minded. One of the ways I have always pampered my face is using witch hazel as a toner. It’s very inexpensive and helps keep breakouts to a minimum. It also doesn’t seem to dry my face out like other toners.
I start by washing my face and moisturizing. I use IT cosmetics in my routine when putting on my makeup.
I make sure to use oil to cleanse my face in the morning. I love how it clears and moisturizes!
I just love having a clean face in the morning and evening. I really like to put on some mascara to make me feel pretty.
I don’t have much time to get ready but I always feel better if I curl my eyelashes! It opens them up.
Filling in my brows and mascara are must dos!! Those two things alone make me feel ready to face the world.
My #1 step is when I’m using the bathroom it’s off limits to kids(grandkids and adult ones)…my morning and evening routines are spent with ‘philosophy’ products and I finally found makeup that works for me IT Cosmetics! can’t live without their concealer.
Mascara and lip gloss are my must do. Can’t step outside without. Even to get the mail. 🙂
Some steps in my beauty routine that make me feel beautiful as a mom are first: After waking up drinking a full glass of water and taking my Collagen supplements. Then washing and moisturizing my face. After that I use my bye bye undereye concealer to make it look like a got a solid eight hours of sleep. Thanks for this awesome giveaway opportunity!
When it comes to skincare, I’m very picky about the things that go on my face. The first, and most important step is to always start with clean hands.
I try to follow the three steps: cleanse, tone, and moisturize.
There really isn’t anything in my routine that makes me feel beautiful…guess I haven’t found the right stuff yet.
Whenever I am going out I always wear makeup and straighten my hair..When I am not going out I like to wear tinted moisturizer. at night I always apply coconut oil to my face and neck before bed.
I am very low maintenance in my beauty routine. A clean face and some moisturizer and I am good to go. If I am going out or it is a special occasion, I will add some eyeliner, mascara and some lipstick. Thank you, I love It Cosmetics!!
My beauty routine consists of cleaning, moisturizing, and mascara! I may do a little more if I am leaving the house but I am a minimalist when it comes to a beauty routine.
The thing that makes me feel beautiful is covering my dark circles. My dark circles seem to be a permanent addition since having kids so I always feel more like my old self when they are covered.
I cannot leave the house without straightening my hair. It is quick and easy!
Taking care of my skin makes me feel good about myself.
I like to get manicures. I also like to get pedicures.
Things that make me feel beautiful as a mom are doing deep oil treatments to my hair. Unfortunately I often don’t have a lot of time for treatments.
Just applying makeup, getting my hair done and for once wearing something clean. lol
Some of the things that make me feel beautiful as her mom are getting up fixing my hair and putting make up on. And for some reason I cannot leave the house without my make up on because I look so sick. LOL. I’m going and getting A massage or getting your hair done also makes me feel beautiful. I have heard great things about it make up and would love to give it a try. Thanks so much for the chance to win this fun giveaway.
I feel beautiful when I cover the dark circles under my eyes and the other blemishes I have. Concealer is a must.
My beauty routine always starts with a good facial cleanser, then toner, then serum then moisturizer! As a busy Mom I always start with under eye concealer before the rest of my makeup!
Taking a hot shower and brushing my hair!
These brushes look awesome. I need mascara and lotion to look beautiful.
I like putting on moisturizer daily and doing facials.
I excercise daily, get great sleep every night and always eat right. I also use lotion every day which I think helps a lot with my skin and I drink plenty of water.
The steps in my beauty routine that make me feel beautiful is to keep my face clean for starters. Also I like to keep my makeup looking natural. I like to add just a little pop of color somewhere.
I always exfoliate and moisturize!
I do a weekly mask. I also like to exfoliate my entire body and apply thick lotion to sleep in. I wake up with smooth skin!
I just like to wash my face, I love to put lotion on and relax. It feels good to just get a moment to yourself.
I feel beautiful when I take the time to contour. And also when i curl my hair. I think it is so important to take those extra steps, especially as mothers, so we don’t forget that we are more. We are still us. Ourselves. And we deserve to feel beautiful because we are beautiful.
I CLEAN MY FACE USING THE SIMPLE SKINCARE LINE, MOISTURIZE, PRIMER, CONCEALER, FOUNDATION.
I feel beautiful when I have just done my nails! Seems so simple but it makes me feel polished.
