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!

You can find there products in their Glow Tonic range HERE

Pixi Peel and Polish



The Peel & Polish is a resurfacing concentrate mask. It contains 6% lactic acid, witch hazel water, panax ginseng root extract, papaya extra, sugar cane, sugar maple extract, cucumber fruit extract, orange fruit extract, lemon fruit extract, and vaccinium myrtillus fruit extract. 
You can use this 2-3 times a week, for 5 minutes each time. It is slightly grainy, which I like but isn't to harsh on my face, so you can use this as an exfoliator by gently massaging this into your skin
Because of the grainy texture, I found this to be hard to spread on the skin as a mask. I was surprised to find that it didn’t tingle too much, I could feel it was there and it made my skin feel very clean and almost tight. As I was rinsing this off. My skin was left feeling smoother, and looking brighter. My skin was so soft!


Again I love the packaging from Pixi, they always have the cutest packaging, it looks so sleek and girly! It also dispenses really well, as this product is quite runny, it did think that it could get quite messy but it is fine in this tube

NUXE

Gentle Exfoliating Gel with Rose Petals 15ml

Manna Kadar Beauty

LipLock Stain in the shade Poppy Pink 1.5g


I love the colour of this lip stain, it does dry matte and stays on extremely well, its not as drying as some other matte lip stains I have tried in the past. I think this is a great summery shade.


I already have the original Nuxe oil which I really love, it as some many uses and the smell is amazing. This version has some shimmer in it which is great for summer. I used this last weekend as I braved a skirt and got my legs out! It did add a lovely shimmer.

The cleanser and the exfoliater from Nuxe are also lovely, they are both a great constancy and have left my skin feeling really fresh! I'm looking forward to trying more from Nuxe's range

Pixi Glow Getters


I received some more items from the lovely people at Pixi, this time it was skincare. I have heard so many good things about the Glow Tonic it seems to be everywhere at the moment so I was excited to receive that to try. There is also the Glow Tonic To Go, which really excited me, as I am lazy when it comes to skincare and nearly always go for the easiest option, so these pre-soaked pads were appealing to me! Finally there was the Glow Mud cleanser. I have used mud masks and cleansers in the past but never something that combined the two, so I was excited to try this.






I love the idea of these pads as I have already said I am all for the easy option but I think these are also great for travelling. I have only used all of these items once so far. I will be trying to make more of an effort with my skincare especially in the evenings.


This is a Glow Tonic – described as an ‘exfoliating facial glow tonic’. It is said to help tone, firm and tighten the skin. Whilst removing dead skin cells for healthier looking skin. It’s suitable for all skin types and is alcohol free. So basically – it’s an exfoliating toner – so it removes dead skin via exfoliating chemicals rather than by scrubby bits.


Pixi Glow Mud Cleanser contains 5% glycolic acid and acts to deeply clean skin and reveal a smoother, softer complexion. It also contains moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and avocado oil!

Pixi’s Glow Mud Cleanser formula is very light. This a smooth cleanser that isn’t grainy so, it is more of a chemical exfoliating formula rather than a physical one. It doesn’t lather up. I personally didn’t feel like it worked great at removing makeup but it is a product that works well as a follow up treatment cleanser of sorts. If you double cleanse, this might be a great secondary cleanser to use or one to use on an already clean face as I didn’t feel like it broke down makeup very well. 

I have to say I didn't notice much of a difference straight away, my face felt clean and almost tight but I do have to regularly use moisturiser as I do have dry skin. However I did notice after a few uses my skin looked a lot smoother and my makeup did seem to have a nicer finish
