#pixiskintreats – Forty, Flirty & Fabulous

Hi all! I’ve recently received a bunch of amazing products from Pixi for my honest review! I love Pixi because their products have amazing natural ingredients and have really improved my skin. Plus, the packaging is always gorgeous!

These products are from Pixi’s New Colourtreats +C Vit collection. They give the long-term benefits of Vitamin C while correcting tone and perfecting the complexion. The products I have from this line are:

+C Vit Lip Brightener ($10 USD) — Inspired by nature, this Vitamin C infused lip balm smooths with a hint of tint and shine. It gives a very natural color and feels hydrating.

+C Vit UnderEye Brightener ($16 USD) — This Vitamin C infused under eye perfector blurs and energizes to give an instant awakening effect. Refreshing treatment in a tube brightens and restores vibrancy. It has a peachy color that helps with my dark circles!

+C Vit Priming Oil ($28 USD) — Infused with Vitamin C, this tri-phase oil nourishes, energizes and balances to prep and prime for a radiant glow. Gently shake to mix & smooth on a few drops into skin in between Skintreats routine and makeup application.

• Vitamin C brightens
• Turmeric provides Antioxidant protection
• Carrot Oil replenishes & hydrates

+C Vit Brightening Perfector ($18 USD) — Vitamin C infused complexion enhancer blurs and perfects to give skin a dewy radiant finish. This works well under makeup, but I really like it on it’s own. It’s nice to apply when I don’t have time for makeup. It smooths my skin and gives me a bit of polish. Add the lip brightener and I’m ready to go!

Here’s a shot of the priming oil so you can see the three layers. When they are mixed together, they smell like fresh citrus. It feels so hydrating, but not greasy. It’s very nice under makeup to add hydration and glow.

Collagen LipGloss ($14 USD) — Enriched with Botanical Collagen and Peptides, this nourishing lip balm hydrates and softens while helping to create smoother, fuller looking lips. It is so lovely! It’s hydrating without being sticky and is so comfortable on. It’s not a plumper and doesn’t sting, but my lips do look fuller because of the collagen and peptides.

I also was sent some new makeup!

On-the-Glow Blush in Ruby ($18 USD) — Formulated with Ginseng, Aloe Vera and a unique mix of Fruit Extracts, this tinted balm provides a hint of natural color while hydrating and conditioning skin. This is a bit bright for me, but it would be gorgeous on darker skin tones!

LipGlow in Fleur ($14 USD) — Sheer, buildable color that leaves lips softer after each use, making on-the-go no-mirror application effortless. This shade is so natural on and I really like wearing it with natural daytime looks.

Eye Effects palette in Rosette Ray ($22 USD) — A selection of gorgeous super silky shadows come in a portable compact to help create any look needed, day or night. This palette has beautiful, natural shades that are perfect for every day looks.

The shades in the palette are on the back of it. From left to right are: French
Rose, Ice, Glow, Plum, Mocha, Wine, Berry, Mushroom and Black Tulip.

As you can see from the swatches, the shades are very soft and natural. They can be built up for more drama. The mattes are very blendable. The shimmers give a glow. If I want a more metallic look, I need to wet them. The shade Ice looks nice on me as a highlighter, too! I’m really happy to have this for more natural days. Plus, it comes with a nice mirror which would make it nice for travel.

I’m so happy I got to try all of these amazing products. As always, Pixi has made stunning products!

What do you think of these new Pixi products? What are your favorite products by the brand?

Hi all! Happy Skincare Sunday! This is a new series for me that I’ll tried to do every week or every other week.

Today I have a review of Pixi Beauty Skintreats that I received for my honest review. I love the brand, and their skincare and makeup! I’ve been trying them out for a few weeks. Here is what I received and my thoughts:

Glow Tonic Cleansing Gel ($18 USD) — This hydrating cleansing gel removes impurities without stripping the skin of essential moisture. With Moisclean™ and a unique blend containing glycolic acid, horse chestnut extract, aloe and ginseng, it helps refine and brighten complexion leaving skin energized and smooth.

What I think: This is one of my favorite products of the bunch. It smells really fresh and it cleanses my skin sow well. It leaves it feeling really clean, but not dry or tight. My skin is so smooth and soft and glows! I like using this in the morning before makeup, because it preps my skin for makeup.

Milky Tonic ($15 3.4 oz) — Calming and hydrating milk enriched tonic to comfort complexion. This tonic is infused with oat extract to help soothe and balance.

What I think: This toner does sooth my skin, which I need especially during allergy season. It’s hard for me to use a lot of my skincare because everything irritates my skin when I have allergies (I have extreme seasonal allergies). This helps my skin calm down and gets it ready for serums and moisturizers. And it has a soft floral scent that I really like.

Collagen & Retinol Serum ($24 USD) — Unique concentrated formula of collagen, retinol and vitamins to help restore natural plumpness & elasticity. Helps to soften fine lines and revive skin’s natural radiance.

What I think: This is a very light serum that sinks into the skin right away. And to me it smells like unripe bananas. I know that’s so specific, but that’s what it reminds me of. LOL! I use this every other night. I haven’t used retinol for a while, so I thought I would ease myself into using this. I have found that the mornings after I use this, my skin is so much smoother and younger looking. Maybe that’s also because of the collagen. I don’t know about that, but I do know that I will continue to use this!

Vitamin-C Lotion ($24 USD) — Skin brightening moisture lotion. Vitamin C has potent antioxidant power, promotes healthy collagen production and is known to boost skin luminosity.

What I think: The first thing to say about this is I don’t like the scent of this. It smells like overripe fruit. And it’s kind of hard to get past it. But I only use it at night, so I don’t have to deal with the scent for long, before I fall asleep. The lotion has a light texture and absorbs into my skin fairly quickly. It’s nice for those who don’t wear heavy creams. I can’t wear anything too heavy at night because I get very warm. This feels nice on. I wear it over the serum, and I do wakeup with glowing skin, so this may help with that!

I really enjoyed trying all of these. I will definitely continue using the cleanser, tonic and serum. I’m still on the fence about the cream. But, I really love Pixi Beauty products and will continue loving and trying new products from the brand!
