pixi Archives - Lace & Pearls

Have you heard of Pixi by Petra? It’s a super affordable, all natural makeup and skincare brand that can be found at your local Target or online. Surprisingly, I didn’t know about this brand until I became an ambassador for them a little over a year ago. I’ve obviously been living under a rock, but that’s a story for another time. Anyway, I originally intended to do a monthly review but got a bit behind, so in honor of the holidays and getting back on track, I am doing a roundup of my favorite Pixi beauty products for her and adding in a giveaway with 2 chances to win!

My Top 7 Pixi Beauty Products For Her

To help you with your Christmas shopping, here are my top 7 Pixi products to gift someone special on your list.

Pixi by Petra Glow Mud Cleanser. I’ve been using this cleanser for a couple weeks now and love it! The formula is gentle and provides a deep cleanse while detoxing the skin. It also removes dead skin cells and reveals a more radiant complexion. By the end of a work week, I can start to look a little haggard, but this product seriously rejuvenates my skin! Definitely check it out if you’re in the market for a new facial cleanser. I’ve used other mud products in the past and they leave behind a dark residue, but this one hasn’t. This product is good for all skin types and is paraben free. It’s a bit pricey for a drugstore brand but totally worth it!
Pixi Skintreats Peel & Polish. I’ve never done a salon peel treatment but this product might be the closest thing to it. The formula resurfaces and provides my skin with a smoother, fresh face look! The natural fruit enzymes loosen dead skin cells, while the lactic acid gently exfoliates. The cellulose ingredient provides the peel while the sugar extracts polishes. I’m assuming that this product is more cost effective than going to the salon and might allow you to go longer in between treatments.
Pixi Quick Fix Powder is an inexpensive alternative to the Tarte powder and provides a flawless matte finish. I really can’t tell the difference between the two, and for $12 dollars less, it’s a great choice.
Glow Tonic is a classic astringent that cleanses pores and exfoliates. It’s gentle and is suitable for all skin types and smells amazing too!
Endless Silky Eye Pencil is waterproof, long-wearing, no-smudge, and no-budge. I love the consistency; it’s so smooth and goes on like butter. Plus it stays on all day! It still bleeds a bit, but for $12 I can’t complain.
Liplift Max (Honey Sheen). This pretty gloss is a lip plumper that hydrates and also looks pretty. It’s a great dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Lustre (Ibiza Nights). I love the shimmery translucent color. It can be worn on its own or layered over your favorite lipstick.
Shea Butter Lip Balm (Ripe Raspberry) I love the idea of treating your lips while simultaneously applying color. I am super picky when it comes to lip balms and I hate anything sticky. This is not sticky and the color is beautiful. It’s super pigmented and leaves my lips with a bright raspberry hue and provides great moisture to my lips. I am excited to try the other colors.

Have you tried Pixi Beauty products yet? Pixi is an affordable, all-natural beauty brand that is available at Target and Pixibeauty.com. Not only are the products a great buy, but the signature light green and rose gold packaging is hard to resist.

I’m a bit behind in my monthly reviews and have acquired quite a collection of Pixi products. Some I’ve tried previously and others I haven’t. Unfortunately a lot of the products are oil-based or hydrating and not great for my oily skin, so what’s a girl to do but share the wealth and do a giveaway! It’s going to be a good one so keep reading.

Before we get to the fun, I wanted to share a bit about one of the packages I received. Hello, beauty enthusiast! It’s almost too pretty to use.

Here’s what I got:

Get The Look ItsEyeTime Eyeshadow Palette
Get The Look ItsLipTime Lip Colour Palette
Strobe & Sculpt (Highlight & Contour Palette)
Strobe & Bronze (Glow & Bronze Palette)
Strobe & Sculpt Brush
Eye Accents Precision Mascara & Clear Brow Gel
Glow-y Powder Highlighter in London Lustre and Santorini Sunset
Glow-y Powder Cheek Powder in Rome Rose
Double cleanse Solid Cleansing Oil and Cleaning Cream

Since there are so many items in this package, I am only going to review the Get The Look ItsEyeTime Eyeshadow and Get The Look ItsLipTime Lip Colour palette. These two products were created in partnership with ItsJudyTime. If you’re curious about Pixi, check out my other posts: Capture Your Natural Beauty With Pixi by Petra, The No Makeup Look with Pixi by Petra, and Bedtime Ritual with Pixi Beauty.

Get The Look ItsEyeTime Eyeshadow. This neutral eye palette is a good mix of mattes and shimmers. You can easily apply it with your fingers, but some people do prefer a brush. Before I did my eyes I applied my favorite lid primer. I swear by this primer, it keeps my eyeshadow on all day. However, within 6 hours the color starting lifting. I have oily skin and don’t have this problem with my other shadows. This is is a major strike against this palette. The finished look, however, was pretty but not better than other shadows I own. I will continue playing with this set and look to YouTube for inspiration and how-tos.

Get The Look ItsLipTime Lip Colour Palette. The color palette itself is beautiful, great neutrals for every day. But for some reason, most of the shades were too light for my skin tone. I think this palette would work best on someone with fair skin. The last row in the palette does work for darker skin, but I still would not recommend this product. I also prefer a tube instead of using my fingers/brush to apply my lip stick.
