Palette That I Love--- PIXI Eye Beauty Kit in Blue Energy

Normally, I'm pretty basic about make-up, I leave that up to my friend Monica or my other friend, Sha...they're both make-up freaks. I usually wear my basic foundation with pale lip gloss and/or light blush. When I do go all out, I throw in eye shadow, but even then, that's almost a nude-ish shade, just so I look like I have a certain glow. However, recently, I became enamored with a certain make-up palette that I probably wouldn't have heard of had my cousin not lost her job. She worked for a major magazine company that folded and called me over from my internship to drop by & raid their beauty/fashion closet. To which, I happily accepted. I even risked being late to work that day. SO WORTH IT THOUGH! I made out like a complete bandit, and it was that night while looking through all the stuff I had gotten, I discovered Pixi Beauty. I had a tiny eyeshadow single palette in an infamous nude color that I love. I tried it out for a day and fell in love with it. So, I decided to look up this make-up company and see where else I can buy their product.

Lo & behold, they had a gorgeous site that reminded me of Tinkerbell, and I started thinking that this is probably the make-up she'd wear while hating on Wendy & trying to get Peter Pan. While browsing the site to see their other eyeshadow colors, I found that they also came in palette's, which made me excited. More bang for my buck!! `=D They had so many variety's in each palette I almost couldn't decide!!



After much deliberation, and consulting with Monica, I decided on the Blue Energy palette.



I always did love blue. Plus, it had all the colors I knew I'd use on an almost daily basis. The best part of this whole deal was that the price was reasonable, $28 for one whole palette with 8 colors. And, it was available at my local Target. Yes, you heard right! I was not traipsing through Sephora, and going through the aisles because it's alphabetical...And I'm sure PIXI would've been at the back. I was in Target, shopping for my Tinkerbell make-up, my bras AND a box of cookies. `=P

Anyways, I've worn almost every shade of the palette this week at work, including Halloween, where I brought out the blue, and I'm thrilled to say that I've gotten compliments on all the colors I've worn. `=D It really does make your eyes pop, and works well with sensitive eyes. I have sensitive eyes and while wearing it, they weren't irritated at all. The other best part? It helps improve the skin on your eyes.

And, I quote:

Beneficial Ingredients and what they do: 1. Aloe Vera Leaf Extract: Soothing and healing for the sensitive eye area. 2. Vitamin E: A powerful anti-aging vitamin with antioxidant properites. 3. Titanium Dioxide: Natural mineral with SPF factor.

Straight from the site, folks!!! `=D I wish I had been able to take a picture with all the looks I did with the palette. But, since I mostly wore them for work I forgot to do so, and you'll just have to take my word that I looked great. `=P My one piece of proof is this one video I did to show my buddy Monica that I took her advice to blend 2 of the colors. Enjoy!!




All in all, I really do love this palette. I really do recommend it for anyone who's not in the mood to run through Sephora and pay about $40 for the same thing, only to be disappointed in the end. However, a bit of a warning... The eyeshadows are a bit more powdery than most, and it can get everywhere. Although, that can be remedied by blending and/or water. Don't forget to check out PIXI Beauty's other products!!!
