IT Cosmetics IT's Hello Glow Duo

From the amazing CC Cream and Setting Spray, both of which I have featured on my blog, I now have the Hello Light Cooling Glow Hydrating Face Illuminating Sticks to share with you. 

Since I spend the majority of my working day in front of my laptop writing reports or on a meeting via Zoom or Teams, I need to look as human as possible and thankfully IT Cosmetics has helped me do just that.

Described as being Multi-use hydrating sticks in Brilliant Copper Rose and Incandescent White Gold, they have been designed to provide you with an instant illumination without the use of any glitter or shimmer.

Infused with green tea, hydrolyzed collagen, peptides, grapeseed and aloe, this formula is really quite cooling as it is applied to your skin and because they offer highlights, they can be used on your cheekbones, eyes or any other area of your face you would like to add a little radiance to your features.

The two shades Brilliant Copper Rose and Incandescent White Gold are both incredibly wearable and rather than choose just one to wear, I have actually used them both at the same time and then occasionally Incandescent White Gold if I am wearing minimal makeup.

The Swatches shown above are not edited at all and the shades you see are the shades that come from each of the two products.  As you can see the pigmentation and colour payoff is amazing and that is from just one swipe.

These Hello Glow sticks are priced around £21 each, but they are currently available on QVC for £32 for the duo set which is amazing value for money and you can see them right here.
