Pixi highlighter palette: Rachh loves Pixi review

Pixi highlighter palette: Rachh loves Pixi

It’s been quite a while I have a new favourite highlighter and it’s from a Pixi highlighter palette: the Rachh loves Pixi palette. This palette is called The Layers Highlighting Palette.

Since I first had my eyes on the “Tee” colour of this highlighter palette, it was love at first sight. After I tried it, it became a favourite of mine! So here’s my Rachh loves Pixi highlighter palette review, that has 5 different highlighter shades.

• Pixi highlighter palette: The Layers Highlighting Palette review

Rachh Loves Pixi Highlighter palette

This cute Pixi highlighter palette was created in collaboration with Rachh Loves and it has 5 different shades of highlighters or multi-use glow shades. They all can be used also as eyeshadows.

• 2 base highlighters: “Tee” and “Clutch”, which are the bigger ones in the palette.

• 3 custom highlighters: “Lace”, “Zipper”and “Knit”, which are the small ones.

The idea of this highlighter palette is that you can use a single colour or mix them to create a custom colour just for you. Even though, I loved the color “Tee” so much that I think it’s a great colour on its own.

Bellow you can check my swatches of the 5 highlight shades of this Pixi palette, this photo was taken without flash.

“Clutch” and “Tee” are the 2 lighter colours, “Clutch”is the lighter shade, perfect for a day to day highlighter. “Tee”is a little stronger in colour and pigmentation, so it could be for a more festive look or bolder looks.

Truth be told, I love a good highlighter and I’ve been using “Tee” as a highlighter on my daily makeup. The colour is just beautiful and it gives such a beautiful glow to the skin, making your makeup pop.

All the shades are very easy to apply, they are all powder, but with a kind of a creamy texture.

You can take a look at this highlighter palette in video, in this quick makeup tutorial in which I apply the “Tee” highlighter from Pixi (look at those cheeks!! 😍):

I just loved this color so much! I’m sure I’m wearing this highlighter in many of my last photos on Instagram @manuluize 😅, but here’s another photo so you can check Tee’s effects on my skin:

The 3 custom highlighter colours in this palette actually are great as eyeshadows if you’re going to wear them by themselves. Or you can play and mix them to create a custom highlight shade.

“Knit” is the darker shade of them all, that could be an interesting highlighter for deep skin tones, but also such a beautiful colour as an eye shadow.

Where to shop it:

You can find this Pixi highlighter palette on Asos and also LookFantastic.

Hydrating Milky Cleanser – Pixi (Review)

Hydrating Milky Cleanser by Pixi

I’ve been using the Hydrating Milky Cleanser by Pixi Beauty for about 3 months, so I think it’s safe to say I really liked this facial cleanser! I mean, I even forgot to try other cleansers I had in stock to try and review. 🙈

First thing I should say, I have combination/oily skin and I was a little afraid of trying a hydrating cleanser, but truth be told, even oily skin needs hydration! And everyone with this type of skin must be a little less afraid of hydrating products. I would even say that for a couple of years, from the time when I started to care more about hydrating and moisturizing better my skin, I think it’s actually less oily than it was before.

So I can say that even combination/oily skin could benefit from this cleanser, especially because I’ve been using it for so many months, that I can say it didn’t make my skin any oilier even in the long term.

• Hydrating Milky Cleanser (U$17,99) – Pixi (Review)

Hydrating Milky Cleanser - Pixi (Review)

Pixi Beauty came out with this skincare collection called Hydrating Milky with many skincare products enriched with coconut, jojoba and probiotics. This line is suitable for all skin times.

And one of the first steps is the Hydrating Milky Cleanser by Pixi (to be used first in the morning and after the makeup remover in the evening). It’s suitable to be used in your morning and night skincare routine and that’s how I’ve been using it.

It has a creamy texture that gets really soft when in contact with the water. You can use it by itself to wash your face or you can use it with any face washing device you’re used to using (like I did in the video in the end of this article).

Hydrating Milky Cleanser by Pixi: texture and review

Buy it here: Milky Cleanser by Pixi (U$17,99).

It gives me a clean sensation and a soft feeling, it didn’t make the skin oily, not even after using it for 3 months.

I usually prefer foam cleansers, but I must say I was surprised by this Pixi cleanser and I fell in love with it.

It has some fragrance in its formulation, but I feel it very lightly. It didn’t cause me any irritation and I think it’s a very light smell, so it’s definitely not annoying like in skincare products with strong fragrance.

I’ve been also trying the Hydrating Milky Makeup remover from the same line (which melts makeup, but feel like an oil-based product when you apply it to the skin), so I think the creamy Hydrating Milky Cleanser is a great next step to remove all the oil from the makeup remover and clean well your skin.

By the way: never forget to use a cleanser product after makeup remover, to make sure your skin is clean and ready to apply any other skincare products.

Here’s a video in which I used most of the Hydrating Milky collection by Pixi, including the Hydrating Milky Cleanser, so you can even see its texture while in contact with the water and while applying it to my skin:

Pixi MatteLast Liquid Lip Pleasing Pink Review

Pixi Pleasing pink liquid lip

I’ve been trying a couple of Pixi liquid lipsticks, which are called MatteLast Liquid Lip and I’ve been loving them all! Lately I just tried the Pleasing Pink liquid lipstick, a beautiful pink shade that I’m loving!

So here’s my review of the Pixi Matte Last Liquid Lip in the colour Pleasing Pink, including how it wears on the lips (swatch) and a video, so you can check how the colour looks in real life and on movement. You will also find a list of ingredients by the end of this post, in case you need to check it for allergies.

• Pixi MatteLast Liquid Lip – Pleasing Pink:

Pixi Pleasing pink lipstick

This is my second time trying Pixi’s liquid lipsticks and I also had loved a previous nude colour I had tried last year, I had already liked the pigmentation and formulation of the previous colour and the same goes for the Pleasing Pink Colour.

This Pixi liquid lipstick dries very matte and it’s very pigmented, meaning that with only one layer of lipstick, you can already have a very rich and vibrant pink colour.

Here you can check how the colour goes on my lips with two different photos of me wearing the Pleasing Pink liquid lip colour:

Pixi Pleasing pink Lipstick - Makeup

On the first look, I did a more warm toned makeup look with 2 different shades of red eyeshadow (they are from the Morphe Fall into Frost 35F eyeshadow palette), completing it with the Pleasing Pink Lip colour by Pixi.

For this second look instead, I went for some brown shades for my eyes, also from the same palette of the previous look, pairing it with this pink liquid lipstick by Pixi:

You can also check a quick Instagram video on @manuluize, that I posted a couple of days ago, in which I apply the Pleasing Pink MatteLast Liquid Lip by Pixi, so you can check this colour in action:

This colour is really pigmented and it applies very well on the lips. The matte effect will show on the lips as soon as this liquid lipstick is dry.

For the duration of this lipstick, it has a good duration meaning that if you don’t eat anything, it will stay for a long time. When you eat, specially if it’s something oily, you will probably need to re-apply it after eating. Otherwise, for drier foods or a quick snack, the lipstick can have a longer duration, even if you eat something.
