I have been hearing tons of great things about It Cosmetics’ Bye Bye Redness Neutralizing Correcting Cream so I had to get my hands on it to give it a try.
This cream (read: not foundation), suspends red-cancelling and colour-correcting pigments into an ultra-hydrating velvety nude cream that leaves you with a flawless complexion. This cream erases red-toned skin discolourations from rosacea, broken capillaries, blemished skin, irritated skin, sun damage, scars and more. The formula also soothes inflamed and irritated skin and contains colloidal oatmeal, aloe, avocado, and chamomile.
Now unlike most colour correctors, this stuff is nude rather than green or yellow. Although it’s not billed as a foundation, you can totally use this over your moisturizer to cover any redness you may have.
This 0.37 fl. oz. cream comes with a silver stand and mini kabuki brush which is the perfect complement to buff this into your skin. Although the jar may not be big, you only need a little bit of the product to cover your whole face.
I personally don’t have really bad red skin (just in some areas), so for the purpose of photos for this review I grabbed my resident bestie and PIC Jessica for the photos.
No makeup
Jess has some redness in her cheeks and a little on the forehead and chin so she was the perfect candidate to try out this product.
Right half of face with Bye Bye Redness.
As you can see, after we applied the product all over her face, the product neutralized the redness leaving her with flawless skin. At first we did notice some redness, however, as the minutes went on the redness all but disappeared.
Overall, this is a great product if you suffer from broken capillaries or rosacea. Although I personally think it’s more of a foundation than a cream, this stuff can seriously be your secret weapon in ridding redness from your skin.
Bye Bye Redness can be found at QVC for $39.50 (with the brush and stand) or The Shopping Channel in Canada.

I don’t think I have ever done a Saturday post, but I had to get this up to tell you guys about an amazing deal this weekend only.
If you have been following my blog for a while, you know that I absolutely love It Cosmetics. Standing for “innovative technology”, the brand has come out with some amazing products that are staples in my collection.
The only that is disappointing about the brand is that you can only buy it directly from their website or from QVC or The Shopping Channel in Canada. You can’t actually hold or try the products out before you buy them, but Jamie Kern, the founder of the brand is often on the shopping channels promoting the products and showing you the benefit of everything.
I am so excited to tell you guys that The Shopping Channel Showstopper for this weekend is It Cosmetic’s Most Beautiful You Six-Piece Anti-Aging Collection.
The set includes:
- 1-fl oz Bye Bye Under Eye concealer (in your choice of Light, Medium, Tan or Deep)
- 0.23-oz Hello Light luminizer cream
- 0.003-oz Your Brows But Better pencil
- 0.11-fl oz Vitality Lip Blush Hydrating Lipgloss Stain in Je Ne Sais Quoi (a sheer pretty pink flush)
- Dual Heavenly Luxe Airbrush Foundation and Concealer Brush
- Heavenly Luxe Pointed Precision Complexion Brush
- Application chart
Regular size (left) compared to the jumbo size.
Bye Bye Undereyes has been my concealer of choice for the past two years and in this collection you get the jumbo size of the product, which is like three bottles of the normal size, and on its own it retails for $72. Crazy right?! This was the first product from the brand that I tried and really opened the gates for my love of anything IT. You only need a small amount of the concealer to cover whatever you need covered, so this tube will last you a loooooong time (I’m still on my original one and I got that two years ago).
As for the other products, I have been obsessed with It Cosmetic’s brushes as they are literally the softest things ever and really distribute the products perfectly on the skin. In this set you get two of them, a double-ended concealer brush and an airbrush foundation one.
The brand also has a variety of different brow pencils available; in this set you get the Your Brows But Better pencil, which allows you to draw skinny hairs, recreating the effect of your natural brow hair. They also always infuse their brow products with ingredients that are good for the hair and hair regrowth. The product comes in one colour and the shade is determined by how hard you press down on your skin.
The Vitality Lip Blush Hydrating Lipgloss Stain in Je Ne Sais Quoi (full review coming soon) is another “show-stopping” product from the brand as it’s a lip stain, gloss, and balm all in one. The gorgeous nudey-pink shade actually transforms on your lips to a custom colour based on your skin tone. For me, the colour ended up being a rosy-shade.
Lastly, I already own the Hello Light powder illuminizer, which is amazing, and this one is billed to include ingredients such as peptides, hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, real silk, and anti-oxidants that hydrate, condition, and nourish your skin. I highly recommend their highlighters as they give you the most perfect glow.
If you were to buy these products separately, it would cost you an arm and a leg. Luckily for those thrifty shoppers, The Shopping Channel is offering this for a special low price this weekend only!!! I believe these usually sell out quite fast, and honestly, it’s such an amazing deal for what you get and the quality of the products. I know you don’t get the benefit of trying everything out ahead of time, but take my word for it, you won’t be disappointed!
Before – no makeup
After – foundation applied with It Cosmetics Luxe Pointed Airbrush Complexion Brush. Bye Bye Undereyes concealer in the colour Light applied with the smaller end of the Dual Heavenly Luxe Airbrush Foundation and Concealer Brush; Eyebrows filled in using It Cosmetics Your Brows But Better, Vitality Lip Blush Hydrating Gloss in Je Ne Sais Quoi; highlight with the Hello Light Creme Luminizer applied with the Luxe Pointed Airbrush Complexion Brush.

Every week I try to get at least a couple runs in. When I was in high school I would always dread the Terry Fox run or the 12 minute run in gym class. I was overweight, out of shape, and just hated running.
Fast forward to now, where I can run 5K no problem. I’ve never done an actual marathon before, although I have always tempted to do one (especially when I see shiny metals around people’s neck right after a race).
A few months back, Winnipeg was announced as one of the stops that the uber-popular Color Me Rad 5K will be taking place. Color Me Rad is more like a fun run, rather than a marathon, as it’s not timed. The appeal of the run is that you are bombed with colour while on the trail. Color Me Rad has stops all over North American in Canada and U.S. and held two runs here at the Assiniboine Downs (July 20 and 21). The race fee cost me $35 (although it went up closer to the actual date) and part of the proceeds went to Camp Manitou.
Before.
After
I did the run with my coworker Carly (check out her blog here) on the Saturday and although our race time “started” at 9:40 a.m., we got there a little after 10 because the traffic was crazy. It didn’t seem to matter what time you were there as they let people run every 10 minutes or so.
The trail is 5K and featured varied terrain, so we ran on pavement, grass, up a hill, gravel, etc. You get bombed with colour every kilometre and each colour station had either liquid colour that they squirted on you through a hose, or actual powder colour. Although I wished there were more colour stations, it was nice knowing that if you hit a station you were one kilometre closer to finishing.
The race itself isn’t timed; you get a race bib but that’s just so you can look up photos of yourself after. There were tons of people just walking the trail; they were just there for the colour and the fun. Honestly, though, if you just show up and blend in, anyone could run it. There were a couple days before the race where participants had to pick up their race kits which contained a blue Color Me Rad T-shirt, sunglasses, a race bib, and a “RAD” tattoo, so they don’t even check when you get to the run location.
Overall, the race was fun. I mean, there’s not much to it; it’s a 5K race and you get blasted with colour which is very hard to wash off after. I actually had to jet right to a fitness class after so I showed up there covered in purple and people were asking me if I had either A) a really bad sunburn, or B) a skin disease. I really had to give the old loofa a go to get the rainbow off me, and even then some of it stayed on (including some yellow along my breastbone which will not go away). The white wifebeater I wore still remains peach after three washes and the colour finally came out of my shoes after I hosed them down, left them in the rain, and then left them outside to dry for two days (there is still some pink on them. Seriously, if you are running this, don’t wear your nice gym or workout clothes.
Overall, I had a really great time, and although I don’t count this as my first marathon, I’m still really glad I ran it. Would I do it again next year? Maybe. It was a bit too messy for my taste (literally the stuff was everywhere), but I mean that’s the whole point of the race right? If you are hesitant about doing it, I would put your hesitations aside. Color Me Rad really is about having fun. It doesn’t matter what skill level you are or if you are athletic, it’s a fun way to get outside (and to get a little dirty).
Are you participating in Color Me Rad this year? If you already ran it, what were your thoughts?
