What we are buying today: IT Cosmetics

There is a new group of Internet icons taking social media by storm: “Skinfluencers,” — people who talk, promote and educate netizens on how to make their skin better.

Recent dermatological trends have seen people spending more time (and money) on taking care of their skin by investing in skincare products rather than buying excessive makeup.

But a new skincare startup, IT Cosmetics, has found the perfect combination between the two: Makeup that also doubles as skincare.

All of IT Comestics’s products are approved by dermatologists and actively improve rather than damage your skin, as is often the case with makeup.

Jamie Kern Lima, co-founder and CEO of IT cosmetics, created the brand because there was a gap in the market for people with skin conditions. Lima was especially interested in filling this gap as she has rosacea.

She spent years trying to perfect each of her products to suit people with skin issues. Their slogan, “Your skin but better,” encapsulates their mission of caring and enhancing the skin of their customers.

IT Comestics’s leading product is their CC Cream, which contains hyaluronic acids, niacinamide, hydrolyzed collagen, and peptides, along with SPF 50.

Boasting a wide variety of shades for all the different undertones, this cream is designed for everyone.

Another one of their products that works like magic is “Bye Bye Pores,” which is also infused with peptides. This product decreases the look of pores and gives you a flawless look without packing in too many products onto your skin.

On their website, the women who market the products show their skin concerns, such as acne, wrinkles and pores.

The photos of the results from the products are real. There are no filters or enhanced edits, what you see is what you get.

The honest and clear approach to skin issues is cleverly executed: IT Cosmetics makes no promises that it cannot deliver.

The products can be found in Sephora all over Saudi Arabia.

Review: Voyna 19 — ready-to-wear pieces designed with precision

  • The collection features pieces such as the trench jumpsuit and signature belts, which highlight attention-to-detail and create garments suited for fast-paced urban life

In today’s fashion landscape, a few brands stand out not just for selling clothes but for presenting a clear lifestyle vision.

Among these emerging names gaining attention regionally and internationally is Voyna 19, a contemporary women’s fashion label that blends modesty with modernity and offers a forward-looking take on elegance. 

At its core, Voyna 19 focuses on ready-to-wear pieces designed with precision, combining comfort with a bold artistic touch.

The brand recently launched its “Silence” fall-winter 2025/26 collection, which marks an evolution in its identity toward more structured, contemporary pieces.

The capsule emphasizes clean lines, geometric cuts and layering techniques that balance strength and femininity. Each piece is designed for flexibility and movement, catering to women seeking elegance that fits seamlessly into a modern, urban lifestyle.  

The collection features pieces such as the trench jumpsuit and signature belts, which highlight attention-to-detail and create garments suited for fast-paced urban life.

The use of textures, precise tailoring and layered silhouettes demonstrates the brand’s commitment to blending practicality with high-concept design.  

While Voyna 19 excels in blending modernity with modesty, the brand could further diversify its palette and materials to appeal to a broader range of climates and cultural contexts.

Some pieces, though visually striking, may lean toward conceptual styling that might not fully translate into everyday wear for all women. Expanding accessibility in sizing and experimenting with more versatile, seasonless designs could help the brand to strengthen its global presence.
