Summer Glow with Pixi Beauty ~ Liquid Fairy Lights and Glowy-y Gossamer Duos ~ review and swatches

*pr sample*


This PR box is so magical! Lately Pixi Beauty is stepping up their game! They keep launching so many fantastic products! Already saw the preview of the new ROSE makeup mist, ombre bronzing palettes etc. Oh can't wait!


 OMG I have two more blog posts on PIXI beauty previous launches., sorry guys time was not my friend in the past few months. Those post should be up soon :)


The post that need to go up : New Pixi Collab with beauty bloggers like Dulce and Chole, that collection is really beautiful! And I also have to review some skin care. As you know PIXI makes amazing skin care!



Now lets focus on glowy skin and glittery eyes :)


Glowy Gossamer duos ~ I feel in love at first sight. I knew I will love them and I did. I live for highlighters! I can;t never get enough of them. They are staple in my makeup routine. The powders are soft and silky. Highly pigmented with creamy texture. I could not keep my fingers of these/ When swatching they just melt into the skin and applies they are blinding! They give that wet kinda look. There is no glitter int them whatsoever. They just the type of highlight I need this summer. Perfect in so many ways.


They both come in pretty square green, pixi style compact, with clear lid. There are two shades in each compact: lighter and darker. And there are two color option: Subtle Sunrise and Delicate Dew. 
Retails for $18. Available at PixiBeauty.com


Now let me show you a very pretty sparkle that will make your your eye pop :)


* Liquid Fairy Lights ~  liquid long wearing glitter eyeshadow. They are infused with chamomile and rose extract. No joke at first I thought they were lip glosses. When I was swatching I was thinking to myself, that the glitter is a bit too chunky and it would be not comfortable to wear on the lips LOOOL! I mean really can you blame me hahaha they come in a lip gloss type of packaging and well my brain right away picked up that these are glosses... then I went back to the box and read that they are in fact liquid eye shadow just the type Stila makes. So anyways, moving forward these are awesome! When you applied them they will not budge! Can be used alone or as a topper on  an eyeshadow.


There is 5 colors int the collection:
* Crystalline ~ pure white with holographic glitter
* Rose Gold ~ rose gold base with silver glitters
* PassionLight ~  dark copper with glitter
* SunRay ~ pale yellow gold with silver glitter
* BareBrillance ~ bronze with silver glitter 


They are perfection and you can wear them on any occasion :) Even to the office! LOL yes I did that and got lots of compliments! :) 
They retail for $15. Available on PIXIBeauty.com


Colourpop Cosmetics SOL Y MAR eye shadow palettes ~ swatches



Yay! finally my Colourpop order arrived! I ordered new palettes Sol and Mar, as well as Preception palette and as a gratis I got the new 6 pan palette called Makeup Ur Mind, such a cutie!


Anyways I just wanted to a dedicated post on the new 9 pan palettes: Sol and Mar. 
OMG they are even more stunning in person! The colors in both palettes are so beautiful and so pigmented! I am not joking, Colourpop Cosmetics makes such an amazing eye shadows! 


The outside boxes are so pretty! Sol is orange and Mar is blue, just like a ocean. 
Once the palettes are out of the outer packaging, both are square white compact with metallic writings.  Sol have orange metallic writings and sun look alike designs. Mar have blue/teal metallic writings and have like a water waves design. Which makes coz Sol is means sun in Spanish and Mar means Ocean :) So both palettes are inspired by Sun and Ocean and I am so in love with it! ANd the best part? Both palettes have mirror! Woohoo!


Sol Palette ~ beautiful warm toned oranges, corals, browns all in one :) I bet those colors won't look flattering on me but omg for $12 I could not get it. This palette also reminds me of new HUDA Beauty obsession palette, the Coral one :) I don't know the quality of Huda mini palettes but this Colourpop for $12 you can't beat!
