Pixi By Petra Your Lips But Better


 I have been sent some lovely lip products from Pixi By Petra. I have only tried a couple of lipsticks from this brand before. I have to say that I have found them to be really good quality.

This collection contained 3 lipsticks that are in lovely wearable shades for me, and are perfect for this time of year. I like the formula they are not a matte lipstick are kind of a creamy formula, they are not glossy either, they are kind of an in between which I actually really like, as they are not as drying as a matte, and they are really comfortable to wear.

The other 3 are lip balms, these for me are perfect for this time of year, they do give you a bit of colour but not too much. They are really moisturising which is defiantly needed with this colder weather!

The packaging is really nice they have the typical green packaging from Pixi which I really like its definitely their colour

First of all I love the packaging of this lipstick its so cool, it took me a while to figure it out to be honest, you push it from the bottom then the lipstick slides out, Its really neat packaging.

Pixi by Petra Glow Tonic Challenge



This Delivery was something a little different from Pixi, It included some of my favorite items of theirs, the Glow Tonic. There was another bottle of this amazing liquid, which was much needed as mine was running low! Plus there was some of their pre-soaked pads which are great for on the go!

This package also included a cute t- shirt from the brand, which I thought was a really nice touch.

I have shared my thoughts on this product before, I have found that the toner works to exfoliate and even out skin tone. Since using this product, my skin has a more even look and feel. Not to mention that the Pixi glow is real – my skin has definitely gotten a glow since introducing the Glow Tonic into my daily routine.

The pads are also a great addition as they make the product even more convenient to use!
