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.

Tiffany Trump steps out in Saiid Kobeisy gown

DUBAI: Tiffany Trump is proving to be a fan of Lebanese designer Saiid Kobeisy’s designs.

This week, Trump’s 31-year-old daughter wore one of his gowns to the Kennedy Center Honors, an annual event held at the White House that recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to American culture through the performing arts. 

For the occasion, Tiffany opted for a floor-length emerald-green velvet gown with a sweetheart neckline and long fitted sleeves, cinched at the waist with a slim belt and finished with a thigh-high front slit.

She has previously chosen Kobeisy for other high-profile appearances. In September, Tiffany wore another of his designs to the state banquet held during US President Donald Trump’s visit to the UK, stepping out in a blue quartz couture gown paired with a beaded clutch by the designer. Styled by Toni Breisse, the look was completed with jewelry by Samer Halimeh.

Tiffany is known for her affinity with Lebanese designers; at her 2022 wedding to Lebanese-born businessman Michael Boulos, she donned a custom-made Grecian-style gown by Elie Saab.

Tiffany chose her wedding dress as a nod to Boulos’ heritage. “It’s a Lebanese American wedding, so we were so happy to have Elie Saab create the magic,” said mother of the bride Marla Maples, according to People magazine at the time.

In January, she turned heads in a dress by Zuhair Murad at the Trump-Vance inauguration candlelight dinner, hosted at the National Building Museum in Washington. The custom chocolate-brown chiffon gown boasted an asymmetric one-shoulder neckline, and a dramatic cape-like sleeve.
