Pixi Beauty +C Vit Collection review

Pixi Beauty +C Vit Collection of makeup enhancers (gifted with no obligation)
DRY SKIN REVIEW

 

I have to be honest, I’m usually not a big user of priming products for my face, so when I first received this fabulous gift from Pixi I thought I would not like it. However, I always am willing to try any product and be proven wrong.

And fortunately, this set did just that. For me, having dry skin, priming my face really just means having a very hydrated and smooth base.

  • The Priming Oil is not only cool to look at with its 3 layers, but it nourishes my face and leaves it beautifully smooth and ready for makeup.
  • Then I follow with the Brightening Perfector, which really gives my face a beautiful blurring and illuminating effect. I only apply this to my forehead and cheeks which is where I need it most.
  • The Undereye Brightener is basically a colour corrector which goes nicely under my concealer and helps mask my blue toned veins/circles better than concealer alone.
  • The Lip Brightener is the least “necessary” in this line in my opinion, however it makes applying lipstick to dry lips a much nicer experience without being overly creamy like some lip balms are, which can change the opacity of your lipstick.

✔️Overall, I can’t believe how much I actually love this line. I love Vitamin C for my face because it really helps keep my complexion clear and radiant even without makeup.
I would definitely repurchase at least the Oil and Brightening Perfector.

🙏Thank you to Pixi for gifting me this beautiful package.

Pixi Beauty Retinol Skintreats review

Pixi Beauty Retinol Skintreats review (gifted with no obligation)

I’ve been using this skincare line for several weeks now and I can say with confidence that I love it 👌

  • The Overnight Retinol oil quenches my dry skin nicely after I wash it with the Retinol Jasmine cleanser (you can use any cleanser you love though). It smells beautifully soothing, and releases retinol over time as you sleep (anti-aging benefits). It also has peptides & ceramide – which firm and lock in moisture. If you have dry skin, this is heavenly!
  • The Retinol eye cream comes next in my routine. It’s very lightweight and absorbs quickly so you don’t have it running around your eyes. It has caffeine (which helps depuff) in addition to the retinol and peptides as well.
  • After I let those sit on my face and watch TV, I top it with a light layer of the Retinol Jasmine lotion, and it melds really well together.
  • The jasmine in this line is so relaxing and it really helps me feel ready for bedtime.

This is one of my favourite skincare sets I’ve ever used. For realz! 😂💯
(The have this at @ultabeauty now too if you have a 20% off coupon 😏)

Pixi Beauty Chloe Morello lip icings review & swatches

 Pixi Beauty & @chloemorello Lip Icings

Pixi sent me their latest Lip Icing collaboration they made with influencer Chloe Morello. How beautiful are these sweet, soft colours? Swatches:

  • These lip glosses smell sweet and delicious.
  • They are sparkly but not ridiculously so – once you put them on, they mostly look shimmery on the lips. You can dress these up or down – Alone for a more natural look or over your lipstick to give it a beautiful shimmery glow.
  • The colours are very wearable. At first I thought “Sorbet” was too blue to be a lip gloss for my taste, however after applying on the lips, I can say it looks more like a soft lavender and pink shimmer.
  • These are infused with rose hip & marula oil, and they feel super hydrating and comfortable on the lips!
  • I literally have no negatives to say about these Lip Icings ?

?Thank you SO much to Pixi Beauty for sending me these to try! I seriously am very pleasantly surprised with them.

Do you prefer matte or shiny lips in the cold season? For me it’s moist shiny lips all winter.

Pixi Skintreats – Vitamin C line

Pixi Skintreats – Vitamin C line review

I know I say this a lot, but I really LOVE Pixi Skintreats.
?So when they sent me their new Vitamin C line to try I was thrilled.
These are full of antioxidants, probiotics and of course, Vitamin C.

  • I started using it immediately that night and my face already felt more glowy the next morning.
  • I’ve been using it for several weeks now and I really think it’s evened out and brightened my face a lot – The other day I went out without foundation and I kept looking in the mirror, thinking how it looked like I had put on a BB cream or something.
  • My favourite is the Vitamin-C Juice Cleanser: the bottle has a reverse pump that’s super easy to use as you just press your cotton pad down on it, and it leaves my face clean, fresh & ready for skincare.
  • The Vitamin-C Tonic smells so clean and fresh, and leaves my skin ready for hydration without any irritation (I was worried about that since I have dry skin)
  • The Vitamin-C Serum feels hydrating on my skin, and just a couple of drops are enough to cover my entire face.
  • The Vitamin-C Lotion is a nice, lightweight cream that is, in my opinion, best suited for daytime use (as I prefer heavier hydration at bedtime).
  • The Vitamin-C Caviar Balm is a beautiful, heavier/deeply hydrating and brightening product, which I like to use as an overnight face mask. I always wake up with bright, plump skin the morning.
  • I haven’t experienced any type of irritation from any of these products! (Yay!)

I received these for free, but they’re so good I’d gladly pay for more when they’re empty.23

Pixi Glow Tonic Review

PIXI Skintreats – Glow Tonic Line

PIXI Skintreats – Glow Tonic Line

I’ve been using these for a couple of months now because I love the original Glow Tonic, so I wanted to test this line really well before posting about it.

I have dry skin and I try to exfoliate often enough to keep dry patches away, but not so often that I dry out my skin even more.
It’s honestly a fine line to walk, and I feel that this will vary from person to person.
?However, I found a happy balance between the two extremes with these 3.

  • The Glow Tonic Cleanser is clear and has a gel type consistency, it doesn’t strip my skin and has no beads or bits in it – it exfoliates without being abrasive.
  • The Glow Tonic itself is a toner most of us already know and love – it’s what got my into Pixi to begin with. With regular use it gives my face a subtle glow and my skin looks brighter overall, without drying it out.
  • The Glow Tonic Serum is surprisingly hydrating. A couple of drops will slip and cover my entire face. It’s described as an Exfoliating Radiance serum and I agree with that. I wouldn’t recommend this for use under makeup, because it’s somewhat tacky, however I love using it at home followed by a day cream.

Overall, if I could only choose one it’d be the tonic, however I really have seen an improvement in using all 3 over time and I don’t have to use scrubs or peels as often as before.
❓Unrelated question: What’s your favourite face mist to use in summer SPECIFICALLY for refreshing your face (not for setting makeup)
?I hope you’re all having a wonderful Wednesday!

PIXI SKINTREATS GLOW MUD, PEEL AND POLISH REVIEW

PIXI SKINTREATS – MASK AND FACIALS REVIEW

PIXI SKINTREATS – MASK AND FACIALS REVIEW

PIXI Beauty sent me this beautiful package with some of their Skintreats to try!

I used the Pixi Peel & Polish last night in place of my usual exfoliators. I have very dry skin and I only exfoliate a maximum of 2x a week.

My skin was feeling a little textured and slightly rough, so it was a great opportunity to put this product to the test. It only takes 2 minutes to use, so it’s very convenient for nights when you want to do something extra for your face but you also want to go to sleep.

I accidentally left it on for 5 minutes, but thankfully suffered no repercussions!
It has little particles which will provide you with extra exfoliation if you choose to massage for 30 seconds when you apply this peel. I did this and when I rinsed it all off I could definitely feel that my face was less textured than before.

I’ve never used a peel&polish hybrid but I have to say I really do like how quick it is and the results I got!

This morning I used the Pixi Glow Mud Mask. I had never used a Pixi mask before, but I love their Glow Tonic so much that I was really excited to use this mask.

I applied it thinly with a mask spreading tool I have from Peter Thomas Roth (when I use my hand I always end up using too much product!). I left it on for 15 minutes during which my dogs were scared of me.

After I washed it off, my face felt tighter (in a good way) and I also looked younger and more radiant, which I know is a temporary effect but I still loved it!

I followed it with my Glow Tonic, which is recommended, and I will say I didn’t dry my face out (which some mud masks do for me). I’ve really enjoyed these 2 products so far and I will for sure repurchase the Glow Mud Mask when I run out.

UPDATE:

I have now also used the Pixi T-Zone Peel Off Mask. I made the mistake of applying it to my chin in addition to the T-Zone, and I ended up having to wash it off in that spot because it wouldn’t peel properly off my chin. That’s probably why it was designed only for use on the T-Zone! *facepalm*

I did enjoy using it and peeling it off, but due to the colouring that’s in the mask (a pretty pearlescent pastel green), I ended up with shimmery particles all over my face after using it, which I did not enjoy.

However it did work well for peeling dirt off my pores, and I don’t mind washing my face after using it to remove the undesired shimmer.

I am so grateful to Pixi for sending me legitimately good products that I actually enjoy!
I’ll try the rest of the products they gifted me in this package soon and let you know what I think.

PIXI Natural Beauty & Reflex Light shadow palettes

PIXI Natural Beauty & Reflex Light shadow palettes

This photo captures how I’ve been feeling about Pixi Beauty lately, because I’ve been definitely feeling the #pixilove.

Out of these two palettes I immediately was more drawn to Natural Beauty for its cooler neutral tones. But after using them both I’ve been surprised by liking Reflex Light more!

I think as much as both are beautiful, the warmer tones in Reflex Light are just more flattering on me and play better with my brown eyes.

  • I enjoy that the mattes in “Natural Beauty” show up well but are not overpoweringly pigmented – I like to be able to build my mattes without making a monumental mistake if I apply too much from the get-go
  • I wish that “Reflex Light” had some mattes in it, but I don’t mind using mattes from other palettes, and in addition to that I actually experimented with some of the deeper shades here as a crease colour, and they surprisingly did work and finished my look even though they’re not mattes. I guess the fact that they don’t have sparkles in them make them wearable in that manner!
  • The shimmers in both palettes are very pigmented and beautiful, and the only shade I experienced fallout from was “Metal Mauve” (top row center shade from Natural Beauty palette) and this might be due to the fact that palette arrived broken (I pressed it back but it’s still not the same consistency as original). All the other shimmers have performed beautifully and stayed put for me.
  • My absolute favourite shades out of all are “Vintage Gold” & “Brilliant Bronze” from Reflex Light.
  • If you have brown eyes like me and aren’t sure which one to get, I’d personally recommend Reflex Light! But of course, when in doubt, wait for a sale and get both!

Thanks to Pixi for sending me this beautiful package! The more products I try from them, the more I like them as a brand. If you know me, you know I’m honest about my opinions regardless how much I paid or didn’t pay.

If you have never tried anything from them I’d recommend you try their Glow Tonic first because that’s what got me hooked!

New Pixi Beauty Reflex Light Shadow Palette

New Pixi Beauty Reflex Light Shadow Palette

While I was gone in London I found out that I had a beautiful package waiting for me at home, compliments of Pixi.

I have never before owned an eye shadow palette from this brand and I must say it’s absolutely beautiful. I just arrived at home sick again from my transatlantic flight, so I will save my full review of this palette until after I’ve used it more.
Sadly, the other palette in the package arrived broken ? so I will have to try to clean it up and repress it before I can test it too.

This palette features 12 pigmented shades in metallic finishes, in a range of specially curated warm colours that catch the light. It’s absolutely beautiful!

(You can check it out / purchase at Target or at Pixi’s website by clicking HERE )

For now all I can say is that this palette is looking amazing and these shades are very wearable for any occasion, although with this specific palette you might need to bring out some mattes of your own to finish your look.

I will have a more complete review up in a few days!
