Some Favorites and Fails from Pixi by Petra

June 13, 2018

*Today’s post is written by contributing blogger Amy.
Today you are in for a treat as I have a whole bunch of fabulous products from Pixi Beauty to review. This is one of my favorite beauty lines and I’ve done several reviews in the past. To be honest though, I loved most of these current items, but there were a couple that just didn’t really work for me so I’m going to call this my favorites and fails from Pixi by Petra. Let’s get the fails out of the way first.
Pixi by Petra mascara and primer
I will preface this by saying I have board straight eyelashes, so I have to use waterproof mascara if I want my lashes to hold a curl. Even though the mascara isn’t waterproof, I thought I’d give it a try. I curled my lashes first, then used the primer. It’s a nice consistency and the brush made it easy to apply. However, as soon as I put it on, my lashes fell flat. I allowed the primer to dry, curled my lashes once more, and tried the Large Lash Mascara. It was hard to get my lashes to curl much after I had applied the primer, but the mascara on top did help give me a little curl.

As you can see, it definitely added some length to my lashes, which I loved. It did clump a bit, but I’m not sure if that was the mascara or the primer.
I decided to try the mascara as a second coat on top of my regular waterproof mascara along with some of the fabulous Endless Silky Eye Pens I got to try.
Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pens
Look at these gorgeous colors!
I used the Endless Silky Eye Pen in Black Blue on my top waterline, and the Eye Bright Liner on my lower waterline which I loved! I did a super closeup  of my eyes so you could see the definition of my lashes as well as the liners. I loved both the liners, the Endless Silky Eye Pen goes on so smoothly, and I definitely found my eyes to be brighter using the Eye Bright Liner. Those two have made it into my every day makeup routine.
I did like the mascara as a second coat, but it was still a bit clumpy for my liking.
The next two products I tried were the Palette Chloette and the Lip Icing from the Pixi + Chloe Morello collaboration.
Both of these were big winners for me! First off, the palette… It is beautiful, and goes on so smoothly. I wore it all day and it looked as good as when I first put it on. I really loved the eye shadow.
Here’s a look of my whole face, using the Palette Chloette and the Lip Icing. For this photo, I just used the Lip Icing on top my natural lips, and it adds the most perfect sheen. I also used the following Pixi Beauty products:

Let me tell you, I am using more and more Pixi Beauty in my makeup routine and have been so pleasantly surprised by how much I love them all.

Let me know if you have any favorites and fails from Pixi by Petra.

      They are really the easiest eye pencils to apply that I’ve tried in a long time. You’ll love them!

    Very pretty, natural look! I’m impressed. I’m most interested in the liner pens. The shades are beautiful

    So I pretty much had the opposite experience than you did. I love the lash primer and mascara, LOVE the liners, but Chloe Palette was a disappoint for me–not enough pigment. I also love the lip icing and it smells great too!

      I figured the lash primer and mascara didn’t work for me because of my super straight lashes…glad they worked for you!

    That bottom picture is beautiful. I can’t wear an eyelash primer since my lashes always fall with one on, they are too heavy for my wimpy lashes. I enjoy that palette so that one is a winner for me also.

      Yep, primers make my wimpy lashes fall immediately as well. Love that palette so much!

    The Large Lash Mascara didn’t work for me either. I am decluttering it from my stash. That palette is very pretty, though.

At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — and a weighted vest. Adding this simple tool to my daily walk is already making a difference in how I feel, move, and show up for myself.

Here’s why women over 50 might want to give it a try:
1️⃣ Supports Bone Health: Extra weight = gentle resistance = stronger bones = less chance of fractures in the future.
2️⃣ Improves Muscle Tone & Posture: Great for balance and core strength.
3️⃣ Burns More Calories: A simple walk becomes a low-impact strength workout.
P.S. It’s great for men & women of all ages!💪🏼

It’s never too late to level up your wellness routine. And you can get the benefits while doing your house chores, going up and down stairs, gardening, etc. for even more opportunities to improve bone density.

Do you walk with a weighted vest too? I’d love to hear how it’s helped you!

I couldn’t resist this audio! It’s been in my I couldn’t resist this audio! It’s been in my back pocket for a while just waiting for the right moment to use it.😂😂

We all want what we don’t have… I’ve always wanted straight thin hair, but my genetics decided that wasn’t in the cards.

Anyway, this root touch up powder is my new best friend for covering my grays roots between salon touch ups (which happen more frequently these days).😅

It’s a clean beauty formula too! Let me know if you want a link to purchase it for yourself. It’s available in 5 different shades. I’m using the medium brown.

By the way, I turned 60 years old a few months ago and love sharing beauty, fashion, life stuff and my travels. If that sounds like something you’re interested in, then follow my account and let’s be midlife friends. It’s harder to find friends at this stage in our lives and this platform is where I’ve found some of my besties.💗💗
