Pixi +C Vit Collection

 As the dark nights draw in and the weather takes a change for the worse theres no better time to concentrate on your skincare regime.

Clinging onto bright, radiant skin can be a challenge in the winter months but not any more thanks to Pixi.

Say hello to their brand spanking new +C Vit Collection.

 

 

This vibrant, brightening collection has been created to re-energise your skin, promoting radiance for skin that glows with health.

I simple adore their new +C Vit Priming Oil (£24).

Captured within a sleek, rectangular, transparent bottle, you can clearly see three seperate elements to the oil.

 

 

Ranging from a bright yellow to a clear hue it then deepens to reveal a duskier yellow.

As you may expect given its name, this tri-phase oil has been infused with Vitamin C known for its brightening properties, Tumeric to provide antioxidant protection and Carrot Oil to deeply hydrate and nourish dry skin.

Suitable for all skin types, to use you gently shake the bottle to mix the three components before applying a few drops of this liquid sunshine onto your skin.

 

 

Silky in texture, it is fluid and lightweight and glides across your skin effortlessly.

Quickly absorbed it leaves behind not greasy residue and instantly quenches dry, dull skin.

Your skin is left feeling velvety smooth and perfectly primed for your make up application.

 

 

Its long-lasting nourishing qualities ensure that your skin feels soft and comfortable all day long.

Up next is the  Pixi +C Vit Brightening Perfector (£14).

If you prefer a little something extra from your primer than this is the product for you.

 

 

This fruity, refreshingly scented perfector offers a Vitamin C infused complex that blurs and perfects your complexion with a subtle hint of colour.

When first dispensed it appears to be white in colour with the texture of a thick lotion, however when gently massaged into your skin it transforms into a nude hue to help brighten and conceal imperfections.

 

It helps to correct imbalanced skintone while brightening the overall appearance of your complexion.

Lightweight yet seriously hydrating, if you’re looking for just a little help to boost your dull, tired skin without the use of heavy foundation then this is the product for you.

It is almost akin to a BB or CC cream thanks to its harmonious dual makeup and skincare elements.

 

 

The formula contains antioxidant rich Ferulic Acid and Licorice to help even out skin tone.

Dull, dark, tired eyes is one of my biggest skin complaints and I just love the new Pixi +C Vit UnderEye Brightener (£16).

Within this little lemon tube you’ll find your new eyecare saviour.

 

 

Nude in colour, this rich yet light perfector energises and blurs the eye area to create an instant awakening effect.

Illuminating pigments lift and brighten while Licorice energises the eye area.

Vitamin C brightens, Ferulic Acid offers an antioxidant boost and caffeine helps to de-puff tired eyes.

 

 
 

This silky cream is the perfect base for under eye concealer, creating a soft, even base and immediately brighteneing any dullness.

It feels comforting and hydrating, helping you to wake up and stops makeup from sitting too deeply in fine lines and wrinkles which can make you look older and tired.

Last but by no means least is the Pixi +C Vit Lip Brightener (£10).

 

 

You can never have too many lip products in my opinion, and this is a great one.

This Vitamin C rich balm soothes, softens and conditions your lips while imparting a delicate hint of colour and subtle sheen.

It features a beautiful soft pink wrapped around a Vitamin C core with a slightly slanted tip for easy, precise application.

 

 

Enriched with Vitamin C to brighten and promote collagen production, it also contains Jojoba seed oil to soften and smooth and Vitamin E to deeply nourish and protect.

Silky smooth and lightweight, the balm glides across your lips leaving them feeling instantly softer and plump while imparting a subtle tint to bring your lips to life.

 

 

Thanks to the addition of these little gems to Pixi’s expansive Vitamin C collection, its never been easier to achieve a bright, radiant, healthy looking complexion.

Pixi’s +C Vit range is available now.

Pixi On-the-Glow Blush

 Its never been easier to brighten your complexion thanks to those genius’ at Pixi Beauty.

Their gorgeous new collection of On-the-Glow Blushers create a soft, natural looking flush for your cheeks and can also be used on your lips as a subtle, matching lip tint.

 

 

Housed inside a sleek, chic tube, this blush is not like many others you may have seen or own.

This is a solid lip and cheek tint which can be applied directly onto your skin without the need for a brush.

The compact, rectangular shape of the blush allows for simple and precise application onto your skin, while its silky, soft, creamy texture glides effortlessly across your cheeks and lips.

You get a lot of product for your buck here and I love the cute, handbag friendly size for on-the-go touch ups throughout the day.

 

Available in three stunning shades, you’ve got ‘Juicy’, a warm, peachy-coral shade, ‘Fleur’, a soft powdery, petal pink and ‘Ruby’, a rich yet soft, warm pinky red.

Perfect for all complexions, the blushers don’t just look beautiful on your skin.

Bridging the gap between makeup and skincare, Pixi have infused the blush with vitamins for their antioxidant benefits, Ginseng to revitalise and balance, Aloe Vera to soothe and calm and Fruit Extracts to nourish and renew.

Comforting and hydrating yet exceptionally lightweight, this creamy blusher blends seamlessly onto your skin, creating a flawlessly diffused finish.

Because of its cream texture there’s no cracking, creasing or mattifying effect on the skin.

Skin is left looking radiant and bright and feeling soft, comforted and nourished all day long.

 

Offering a one sweep colour pay off, to apply the blush simply twist the base of the stick to wind up or wind down.

Gently sweep the blush across your skin before blending with your fingertips et voila, you’re now sporting a delicate, elegant flush that breathes life into your complexion.

 

As an oily skinned girl, I tend to stay away from cream products as I find that they can melt, transfer and clog my pores, adding to an even oilier, greasy looking complexion.

Not so here.

The formula is so light and demi-sheer that it doesn’t even feel like you’re wearing makeup and I’ve really found that (especially during these warmer, summer days) that  I’m enjoying the luminosity this type of blush brings in contrast from the flatness of some powder blushers.

Best still is the ability to match my lips to my cheeks!

If like me you can be a bit lazy when it comes to putting a look together, the ability to perfectly match your lips to your cheeks is a godsend!

I didn’t think I’d say this, but I think that Pixi have converted me to cream blushers, well, these ones at least!

Pixi’s On-the-Go Blush are available now and cost £18 each.

Pixi Retinol Eye Cream

 My quest for a younger looking complexion took me to Pixi’s new Retinol range of products.

It was here that I discovered the new Retinol Eye Cream (£22).

I’ve always been slightly scared of using retinols on account of my sensitive skin, but Pixi is a brand which I both love and trust so I decided to bite the bullet and give it a shot.

 

 

Housed within a sleek pastel green and lavender tube is an eye cream which has been developed to help improve elasticity, smooth and protect the delicate skin around the eye area.

Formulated with retinol to smooth and refine, caffeine to de-puff and energise and peptides to firm and revitalise, it is gentle enough to be suitable for all skin types.

Free from parabens, it claims to help minimise the appearance of fine lines while restoring radiance.

 

 

In terms of texture, it is a wonderfully thick, rich and creamy cream which is just the kind of texture I want in an eye cream.

I like applying something decadent to my eye area as the skin there is far thinner and more delicate than on the rest of your face and it can often feel drier than the rest of my complexion.

Silky smooth and decadent, you can apply the cream directly onto your skin thanks to the sleek plastic applicator tip.

 

 

Lightly squeeze the tube to dispense the product onto your skin and gently massage it in.

Don’t forget to ensure that your eyelids are treated too!

My skin felt instantly quenched, supple and I had the sensation of feeling more awake.

 

Despite its richness, it was relatively quickly absorbed, leaving the skin feeling oft and nourished.

Now, I’ve not been using it for long enough to be able to say if it has actively helped with the appearance of fine lines, however I do feel that it help to irradiate annoying puffiness and it definitely helps to create a smooth base for eye make up.

 

 

If you love an opulent eye cream that really feels like it helps to perk up your dull, tired eye area then this is the product for you.

Pixi’s Retinol Eye Cream is available now and costs £22.

 

 

Pixi Holiday Gift Sets

Pixi lovers rejoice because they have some seriously fabulous gift sets available this Christmas!

Two of my favourite sets are the Best of Bright Holiday Edition (£20) and Rose Skintreats Besties (£28).

Both sets are packaged beautifully against the backdrop of a pretty, botanical scene with rose gold accents making them just beautiful to look at!

The Best of Bright Holiday Edition kit contains a trio of deluxe travel sizes of Glow Mud Cleanser, Glow Tonic, Glow Mud Mask.

You’ll all know by now what a HUGE fan I am of the Pixi Glow Tonic! Containing 5% glycolic acid this miracle toner evens out skintone for a brighter, clearer, and smoother complexion.

Powerful enough to yield results yet delicate enough for use on my sensitive skin I never allow myself to be without my orange bottle of skincare joy and once you’ve tried it you’ll never use another toner again!

I love the Glow Mud Cleanser too. This deeply cleansing mud gently exfoliates your skin to leave it looking and feeling beautiful.

Enriched with 5% glycolic acid and soothing botanicals, it is delicate enough for even sensitive skin like mine, yet powerful enough to make a real difference to the appearance of your skin.

This thick, rich cleanser has a soft green hue and smells beautifully relaxing and light. Gentle yet active it cleanses and exfoliates to remove dead skin cells while drawing out impurities and providing essential nutrients to your skin.

The last addition to this kit is the Glow Mud Mask.

The mineral-rich treatment absorbs oil, draws out impurities, and fights breakouts while giving an energizing boost to the complexion. Kaolin & sea salt purify while ginseng and aloe vera balance.

Apply once or twice a week and leave for 15 minutes to enjoy maximum benefits.

Another top gift set is their Rose Skintreats Besties.

Suitable for all skin types the Rose Tonic can be used in the same way you would the Glow Tonic.

This gentle cleanser is a real pleasure to use. 

Rose and avocado gently condition while chamomile and aloe vera soothe stressed skin. Meanwhile, the mineral rich mud content cleanses, strengthens and softens your skin, leaving it feeling wonderfully soft without a hint of tightness.

Priced at £28 this kit is a bargain too because you’ll find that if you were to buy the Rose Tonic and Cream Cleanser separately, that they would costs you £18 each meaning you’re saving yourself 8 quid. Result!

Pixi Glow Mud Cleanser

You all know that I am the most gigantic Pixi Glow Tonic Fan. 

Ever since the legend that is Mrs Caroline Hirons suggested I try it to help with my congested, problematic skin I’ve never looked back.

I can now add Pixi’s Glow Mud Cleanser to my list of most favourite skincare products ever.

This deeply cleansing mud gently exfoliates your skin to leave it looking and feeling beautiful.

Enriched with 5% glycolic acid and soothing botanicals, it is delicate enough for even sensitive skin like mine, yet powerful enough to make a real difference to the appearance of your skin.

This thick, rich cleanser has a soft green hue and smells beautifully relaxing and light.

Applied to damp skin and massaged for 30 seconds, its aroma envelopes your senses while it works to deeply cleanse your pores. 

The glycolic acid content gently exfoliates and revitalises your skin to reveal skin that is not just beautifully clean, but soft, radiant and glowing.

It is such a gorgeous cleanser, I wish I’d found it sooner!

It has a really appealing texture, so thick that its almost like a face mask. In fact, I have on occasion used it a bit like mask by applying it and leaving it for several minutes before massaging and rinsing off for an even deeper cleanse.

Rich and soothing it is perfect for my really sensitive skin and once rinsed off I was left without a hint of tightness or dryness, which I didn’t expect.

If you have sensitive skin but are looking for a cleanser with an acid then I can highly recommend Pixi’s Glow Mud Cleanser.

Pixi Glow Mud Cleanser is available now and costs £18.
