Look what arrived in the post today!
I was interested in buying some Pixi products, and when a handful of them went in the ASOS sale, I couldn't resist! The Endless Silky Eye Pen in Cafe Gold was £6.50 down from £11 and the Lid Last Shadow Pen in Mocha Mauve was £6.50 down from £12. I couldn't find any swatches online, but gambled and ordered them anyway. Thankfully, that gamble paid off! Both of them are insanely creamy and pigmented, and do not budge once dry! I'm already looking at the other shades they have to offer. Also, how beautiful is the packaging?!
I ordered the NYX products from this eBay seller, who I've ordered from four times now and couldn't recommend enough! I paid around £13 for both products, including P&P from America. I think that's pretty good! I love lip creams, so I knew I would love Milan. I also already love the cream blush. It's very creamy and blends like a dream. So far, I like it more than my Topshop one. Because the Topshop one is a cream-powder blush, I find it harder to blend. In the photos, Glow looks quite orangey because it is next to Milan, which is a cool toned pink. Glow is definitely more pink when on its own. A warm pink, but a pink nonetheless.
I will be reviewing each of these products in detail soon, so keep an eye out for those!
I hope you're having a good day,

I wasn't really interested in them either but the more I read the more I want to take a proper look at them! x
ReplyDeleteI'm really impressed by the products so far! It's definitely a brand I'm going to pay attention to from now on :) x
DeleteI keep meaning to buy and try some Pixi products seeing they are rather a good price in Target and I love their clean fresh packaging.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the packaging is beautiful. My local store doesn't stock the brand, so I'm going to have to order online. Hopefully, there'll be some more swatches in the future! x
DeleteThe matte lip cream looks lovely! x
ReplyDeleteOh, it is! I love it :) x
DeleteThe rouge cream blush looks really pretty, will be keeping eye out for your review on that :)
ReplyDeleteI've been wearing it for the past few days and really like it! I don't know when I'll review it, but it's near the top of my list, so shouldn't be long!
DeleteHave never tried any NYX products but always think they look really nice, loving the colours above xx
ReplyDeleteI love the four NYX products I have. I wish they were easily available over here! x
DeleteEverything looks so pretty, I've never tried any Nyx or Pixi products but I really need too specially the lip products from Pixi xxx
ReplyDeleteOoh yeah, Pixi's lip products look really good. I want to try their tinted balm, which is in crayon form x
DeleteI haven't tried the lip creams, they look so much like the collection 2000 I'm obsessed with :D Haven't had any nyx.
