Pixi Spring 2014 Preview + Giveaway

Posted on February 17, 2014November 20, 2015 by Elaine

Ack all these spring previews are such a tease don’t you think? Even MORE of a tease are these products from Pixi which I was told about back in November. November! The Pixi people really know how to lead a girl on!

These products are coming out in March (only a couple weeks away!) and I cannot wait!

Pixi-Beauty-H20-Skin-Tint

First up, H20 Skintint. If you’re not the type to wear foundation on a daily basis but are looking for something just to even out your skin tone you should check this product out! It’s a water based tinted face gel – the consistency is similar to what you would get if you were to take a gel textured lotion and mixed it with your foundation – but in the perfect proportion! Retailing for about $24 and in three shades (cream, nude and warm) the tinted face gel is extremely lightweight and will keep your skin calm and hydrated too since it contains green-tea, rose water, chamomile and lavender.

Pixi-Beauty-Natural-Brow-Duo

While this product isn’t new, the Natural Brow Duo now comes in two new shades – Deep Brunette and Soft Black. I tried this product out last year and I can see why it’s a best seller! Retailing for $16 this is definitely the perfect staple product to have in your beauty arsenal.

Pixi-Beauty-Nail-Colour

Well now, can we say bright nails? These neon brights are the latest colours in the nail polish collection. I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to wear these (I can’t even wear blue of any shade on my nails) but I can see some of you having a lot of fun with these ones!

Pixi-Beauty-Nail-Colour-Swatches

At $8 each “Oh So Orange”, “Sizzling Sunshine” and “Lime Lustre” will make for a cheerful manicure or pedicure!

Pixi-Beauty-Mesmerizing-Mineral-Palette-Emerald-Gold

As always, Pixi has beautiful eye palettes and the Mesmerizing Mineral Palettes ($12 – not seeing them online yet!) are no exception!

Pictured above is the Emerald Gold palette with swatches below:

Copper Peach:

Plum Quartz:

Pixi-Beauty-Mesmerizing-Mineral-Palette-Plum-Quartz

Pixi-Beauty-Mesmerizing-Mineral-Palette-Plum-Quartz-Swatches

All the shadows are super soft and all so pretty and shimmery!

Pixi-Beauty-Shea-Butter-Lip-Balm-Collage

My favourite product coming out is the Shea Butter Lip Balm ($8 – not online right now). It is so incredibly smooth and moisturizing and just makes your lips look better! I need to pick up every colour in these – so much easier to apply than lipstick as you don’t have to be super accurate and less messy than lip gloss.

Pixi Beauty has generously offered to giveaway these Spring products to one of my readers to help me celebrate the launch of my new site design!

As a recap, you have the chance to win one of each of these products in your choice of shade (depending on availability!):

  • H20 SkinTint
  • Brow Duo
  • Nail Polish
  • Mesmerizing Mineral Palette
  • Shea Butter Lip Balm

This one is open to both Canadian and US readers.  Good luck!

Happy Pride, everyone! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️ To my fellow Happy Pride, everyone! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️ 

To my fellow queer folks:
Take up space, keep fighting, lift each other up. 
Create community, live to the fullest, be audacious in your joy. 
You are loved. You are nature. You are worthy. 

To those who try to erase us, legislate away our freedoms, and ban our stories:
You won’t change us. 
We will win. 
And the world will be better for it. ✨

I was invited to try the Turkish Bath Ritual and was truly blown away. The space is beautiful and calming, the service was impeccable, and the treatment itself was divine. 🧖‍♀️💆‍♀️ 

It’s an indulgence to be sure, but one I would 10/10 recommend for special occasions. 

Have you tried this type of treatment?

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted much. I’m finding it a bit hard, tbh. 🫤

I’m figuring out what the next phase of #TorontoBeautyReviews looks like and healing from an injury, while my 9-5 has lately been more like 7-7, so I’m filling my off hours with family, dance, food, and books. Finding joy and peace where I can in an intense world. ❤️

I still try out lots of products and I do occasionally paint my face 🙃. I’m just not as interested in the grind of daily posts just for the sake of staying relevant anymore. Which has meant that I’m not on as many PR lists as I used to be. Which means that I don’t have as much new stuff to review. It’s a cycle. 

Things are shifting, which is tough sometimes. But it’s ok - so am I. 😊
