NEW Retinol Collection from Pixi Skintreats:

Exciting news for Pixi Skintreats lovers! Pixi's Retinol Tonic is a fan favorite. So, the brand has expanded and created an entire Retinol line. Petra, Pixi's founder, created four additional products to launch a collection of products that now includes: Retinol Jasmine Cleanser, Retinol Eye Cream, Retinol Jasmine Lotion and Overnight Retinol Oil.

These Retinol-focused products, contain a unique time-released retinol (allowing the products to be used by even those with sensitive skin). There’s a new Cleanser, Lotion, Eye Cream & Overnight Oil.  So exciting! 

“Our much-loved Retinol Tonic now has its own family!” says Petra. “These formulations are suitable for all skin types, combining the efficacy of Retinol with innovative formulations for the ultimate in skin-perfecting! This collection is created to be used together or in conjunction with our other Skintreats and is the perfect introduction to Retinol to add into your everyday skincare routine.”

Now, ya'll know that I use Rx Retin-A. So, keep that in mind. However, I do not use Retin-A every night. I average about 4 nights a week. On off nights, I use facial masks, or regular moisturizers, or products containing retinol. So, I do use retinol products on my face. However, it is not all that I use. For other areas (neck, chest, backs of hands), Retinol products are my go-to for anti-aging. So, I have been testing out this full assortment every/other night on my neck/chest/hands and a few nights a week on my face. Overall, I am loving the combined use of these products. They are gentle enough for my sensitive skin. Yet, I believe they are making an anti-aging impact. 

The Pixi Skintreats Retinol Collection At-a-Glance:

• Overnight Retinol Oil: This soothing oil plumps and soothes while delivering Retinol to your skin. It only takes a few drops. I love oils because you don't use them in place of your moisturizer. You use them in addition to your moisturizer you are already using. So, it really is a skin boost. Just just pat a few drops onto your face after cleansing and before your usual moisturizer. 

• Retinol Jasmine Lotion: This is an antioxidant-rich retinol and peptide moisturizer. I like this one for my neck in particular. It pairs nicely with the Retinol Jasmine Cleanser. 

• Retinol Jasmine Cleanser: This cleanser is fantastic! It is a gentle creamy cleanser that leaves my skin feeling super hydrated and clean. I love it! 

• Retinol Eye Cream: I do use Retinol eye cream every night. So, I have switched to this eye cream consistantly every night. It smoothes the delicate eye area to minimize fine lines. 

• Retinol Tonic: This is a retinol and antioxidant toner. You guys know that I LOVE Pixi's Glow Tonic. So, this hasn't totally replaced that for me...but, I do like it, too, and I am pretty much rotating between Glow Tonic and this Retinol Tonic. What can I say, Pixi Skintreats does toners very, very well. 

In addition to the Retinol launch, Pixi also has a new Blemish Solution: Zero Zit – it’s an amazing lightweight gel-formula spot treatment with sulfur & salicylic acid to control oil & treat the blemish … but it also has aloe vera which makes it super soothing and moisturizing on the skin. It is a fantastic spot treatment!

If you are looking to amp up your skincare routine, be sure to check out these amazing new Retinol products from Pixi Skintreats! I am sure you will find something that you love from this lineup. :)

Perk up your Eyes with Pixi Skintreats: FortifEYE and DetoxifEYE:

Raise your hand if your eye area needs help 🙋. I know that mine sure does!!! My eye area is my trouble spot when it comes to skincare. 

I have super dark circles, I never get enough sleep, and I suffer from allergies. Top all of this with herediatry dark circles. Yes, that is a lot to treat! While I do not expect miracles with skincare products for my hereditary dark circles, I do know that I can certainly make my eye area look its best. Hydration, de-puffing, minimizing redness, and soothing the  skin can really work wonders to perk up your eye area. 

When I saw these new depuffing and firming eye patches from Pixi Skintreats, I knew that I just had to try them! Pixi makes fantastic skincare. I have so many favorites from Pixi Skintreats including their Pixi Skintreats Glow Tonic and much more.

Use these after washing and patting your skin dry. I like to use these in the evenings. However, they can be used morning or evening. Just use the included spatula to lift and separate each patch. Place it under your eye positioning it with the thickest part at the outer corner. Leave on for 10 minutes. Remove patch and pat in remaining serum into skin (do not rinse off). For an extra boosting treat: try chilling these eye patches in the fridge for maximum soothing and depuffing!

Get Inspired for Spring with Glowing Makeup and Skincare from Pixi Beauty:

Who else is tired Winter? lol! I know that I sure am. Well, Pixi beauty has such a beautiful lineup of products to get you inspired for glowing skin and makeup for the upcoming warmer months ahead. Let's dive right in to talking about some of my recent favorites from Pixi! :)

Pixiglow Cake 3-in-1 Luminous Transition Powder:

You guys might remember that I have a bit of a thing for blush. Well, I just about swooned when I first saw these *huge* Pixiglow Cakes! These light diffusing cheek powders can give you gorgeous contouring, color, and highlight depending on where you place your brush on your pan and on your face. You can use via solo swipes or swirl all together to customize your own beautiful look. The powder is soft and blendable which makes it super easy to apply. It reflects light subtly. So, you don't have to worry about being too shiny or sparkly with these. Plus, they are packed with good-for-your-skin ingredients like plumping peptides and grape seed extract. There are two shades. One is more of a peach and one is more of a pink. :) 

Liquid Fairy Lights:

These are long-wearing liquid glittery eyeshadows. They are gorgeous!!! These are super easy to apply. You literally just swipe these on your lids and you are all set. I got to try out a couple shades: Crystalline (a shimmery white) and BareBrilliance (a light taupey brown). I adore these and really want to try out more shades. There are 7 shades total. Plus, they are infused with chamomile and rose extracts to soothe and hydrate your skin. 

Pixi Skintreats Rose Ceramide Cream Intensive Moisturizer: 

Oooooh! I just love Ceramide in my skincare products. As I *cough* age, I am becoming more and more concious and selective of my skincare and the ingredients in said skincare. I have learned that Ceramides are one of the best ingredients that you can have to hydrate and renew the skin. Moisturizers with Ceramides in them just seem to work better! This ultra-rich cream from Pixi Skintreats is infused with both Ceramides and Rose Oil to give your skin a great look and feel. Plus, it is antioxidant rich to help protect your skin as well. This feels so nourishing on my Winter-dry skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and balanced.

What are your favorites from Pixi? There are so many amazing products. I am always looking for great recommendations.

As always, thanks so much for reading!
XOXO!!!

Pixi Pretties Collaborations and NEW Skincare from Pixi Beauty and Pixi Skintreats!

Have you seen the latest from Pixi Beauty at your local Target? I am so excited about the newest Pixi Pretties collections as well as some awesome new skincare launches. 

The Pixi Pretties collections are collaborations between Pixi Beauty's founder Petra and top YouTube Beauty Vloggers. Dulce Candy, in particular, is a beauty guru that I have been watching for years. So, I am particularly interested in trying out the products she created! Need ideas for how to use the items in the Pixi Pretties collection? Just hop over to the Pixi Beauty site and view some of the videos created by the creators. Super fun!!!

As far as Pixi Beauty's skincare, their Glow Tonic has been a staple product in my skincare rotation for years. So, I am always excited to try out new launches from Pixi's skincare collection. 

Pixi Pretties:

Pixi + Chloe Morello

The gorgeous Palette Chloette is a collaboration between Pixi Beauty and Chloe Morello. When formulating the products, Chloe was inspired by love & romance as she recently got married.  

I really like the selection of shades in this palette. My only wish is that they included a lighter shade for the eye shadows as I always like a light shade on my lid and inner corner. With the exception of there not being a light shade, you really do have everything else that you need to create a complete look with eyes and cheeks. I find these to be nicely blendable with about medium pigmentation (which makes the products easy to work with). I particularly like the cheek colors in this palette! 

The gorgeous Palette Chloette features 6 Eye Shades, 3 Liner/Brow Shades, and 3 Blush Shades. Retails for $24.00.

Pixi + Dulce Candy

Dulce Candy and Pixi Beauty collaborated on two gorgeous palettes that are perfect for the on-the-go girl! Dulce Candy is a busy Mom (like me!). So, she can appreciate time saving products. 

The Café con Dulce Multi-Use Palette features a powder-to-crème formulations that can be used as a highlight or to add color to the skin. These products can even be used on the eyes, too!

Dulce’s Lip Candy Lip Palette is for both the lips and the cheeks. These shades are universally flattering to a variety of skin tones and the products are infused with skin-loving antioxidants and minerals. 

Both of these palettes retail for $24.00 each.

Pixi Skintreats Skincare:

Pixi Skintreats Jasmine Oil Blend:

Have you discovered the joy of adding an oil into your skincare routine? I just love using facial oils as the "final step" in my evening skincare routine. I find that just a drop or two of oil in the evenings smoothed over my face or in key areas really improves the overall look and feel of my skin. You can also use this as an add-in to your favorite moisturizer. Just add in 1 drop and use your moisturizer the way you normally would. I am always looking for good oils...and this one from Pixi Skintreats is really nice! 

This moisturizing oil blend includes a variety of skin-loving ingredients including Jasmine Flower Extract (healing and calming), Evening Primrose (rich in omega-6), and Grape Seed Oil (antioxidant and vitamin rich). 

Retails for $24.00 for full size. 

Pixi Skintreats T-Zone Peel-Off Mask:

I just love doing facial masks at home. It is my weekly spa-like treat to myself. So, I am always looking for a good mask to add into my rotation. Sometimes I do a clarifying mask and sometimes I opt for a hydrating mask. The best thing to do is to choose your mask based on exactly what your skin needs at that moment. That is why I am so excited about this mask. This mask specifically targets the t-zone which is really one of my biggest trouble areas of my skin. So, this is certainly a mask that I opt for frequently! 

The T-Zone Peel-Off Mask is formulated with Avacado and Green Tea to nourish and purify. This mask works to detoxify and your skin and draw out impurities like dirt and oil. I like to use this mask when my skin is looking or feeling more congested and oily. To use, you apply this mask to the t-zone only. Just leave it on until it dries and then peel it off. I find this mask to be effective without irritating my somewhat sensitive skin. Retails for $22.00.

The Beauty Spotlight Team: My Most Repurchased Skincare Products!

I Bought It Press Sample Affiliate Link Blogger Ambassador

Hello lovelies!

I am so excited about my opportunity to talk about my Most Repurchased Skinare Products for this Beauty Spotlight Team special feature! Every two weeks, a Beauty Spotlight Team member is writing a post that features their most repurchased products. As I started thinking and pre-planning for my post, I realized that my most repurchased product were, hands-down, skincare items. 

Why Repurchase Skincare Products?

Hmm...so, why is it that I seem to repurchase skincare items more than other product categories? Well, first of all, I think that I am extremely loyal to skincare items that I love. If something works for my sensitive and somewhat tempermental skin then it is obviously a keeper and something I do not want to be without! So, I believe I am very consistant and loyal with my skincare products. I mean, sure, I love to try new things. After all, I am a beauty blogger with a skincare focus! However, I always come back to my beloved favorites and repurchase them over and over again. I even often have back ups waiting in the wings for when my items run out. 

My Skin:

Before diving into my Most Repurchased Skincare items, let me give you the low-down on my skin. I am in my early 40s and I have combination skin. So, anti-aging products are certainly must haves! I am lucky in that I only have very minor signs of aging: just some fine lines around my eyes and on my forehead that are honestly only apparent when my skin is a bit dehydrated. However, I am seriously interested in age prevention! Also, my skin is somewhat sensitive. So, I am looking for effective products that do not cause any sensitivity reactions. In addition, I am somewhat prone to breakouts in my t-zone area.
