The Perfect Matcha Skin Care by Physicians Formula

*pr sample*

Did you know that aside form great makeup products, Physicians Formula have an amazing and affordable skin care line? The Rose All Day products have been staple in my routine for some time now( blog post is coming soon). The new to me is the Matcha Line, which I already adore!

PF skin care line is bomb. Simple as that. I got a lot of request on my IG and girls wanted to know how good is the line? Both the Matcha and the Rose one. Spoiler alert- both are amazing.

Physicians Formula team was kind enough to sent me few products to try :) Today, in this post I will only focus on Matcha skin care. So lets start it shall we?

* The Perfect Matcha 3 in 1 Beauty Water - ummmm hello beautiful scent. Don't you just love when your skin care smells good? I do. It has very nice and fresh scent. "Soak up the antioxidant benefits of natural matcha green tea with this ultra gentle 3 in 1 beauty water that tones, hydrates and sets makeup in place. It features a refreshing antioxidant pack formula to leave skin soft and supple while combating dull, dehydrated skin and uneven skin tone.

Ingredients:

* Clarifying Matcha Green Tea - helps improve complexion and its full of antioxidants.

* Hydrating Bamboo Shoot Extract - has great skin  soothing properties and helps correct the appearance of uneven skin tone.

* Re balancing Lotus Extract - purifies and soothes. 

This is a great setting spray for you makeup or just a water to give a dehydrated skin some refreshment. I actually keep it home,but I am considering getting one more bottle and keep it at work.If you didn't know I have a quite makeup / beauty stash at work,including hair brushes :) But seriously I fell in love with the first spritz. It is amazing and really leaves my kin hydrated ,fresh and sets in makeup (I use before and after makeup). The mist is amazing and sprays water evenly. This beauty water is perfect for any skin type,even those with sensitive skin,as its really gentle and have soothing properties. 

It retails for $16.99 for 3.4fl (100ml). I think it is a bit pricey but PF have sales all the time so you can get it sometimes with 40% off :)

* The Perfect Matcha 3in 1 Melting Cleansing Balm - ok I think I found my favorite cleansing balm, no joke. I tired so many cleansing balms and by far I like this one the most. I been doing double cleanse before it was a big thing. my favorite cleansing oil is by L'occiate and balm this one. I still do want to try the Farmacy and Drunk Elephant ones but hey they are so expensive! I dunno. 

As of now here is my HG :) its ultra gentle and effectively removes makeup,deeply cleanse impurities and leaves skin feeling supple and hydrated. Definitely hydrated,with no greasy residue left. It melts away makeup so easy and so good. Texture is think and quickly melts into the skin. Once all makeup is melted I use wash cloth to take it off and followup with cleanser. Hey PF can you make a The Perfect Matcha Cleanser to go along with this balm? It would an amazing duo! 

Solution for :

* Stubborn, long wear makeup removal

* Clogged pores

* Dullness and dehydration

Ingredients:

* Clarifying Matcha Green Tea

* Hydrating Bamboo Shoot Extract

* Re-balancing Lotus Extract 

Like I said I love it,and been using it since I got it. A little goes a long way and well I forgot to mention that it comes with a tiny spatula for easy scooping out. This cleansing balm is great for all skin types,and especially for people with dry skin and it is really hydrating. I have oily skin and I still enjoy it. I don't feel like I get more oily or whats so ever. What I feel is a fresh,and free of makeup and debris skin. I definitely found my matcha with this balm :)

Retail price $12.95 1.4oz (40gr)

Pixi Beauty Rose Infused Skin Treats Favorites

*pr sample*

I guess Pixi Beauty don't sleep and keeps on working a new skin care for us skin care loving junkies:)

I mean did you see the sneak peek on their new Vitamin C skin care and other goodies line that launched recently? Look below :) I am already adding products to my wish list :)

(Picture credit: Pixi Beauty)

Also recently, less then two weeks ago a new PR package came :) The rose infused skin care products nicely packed in a gorgeous travel makeup/skin care bag. I died! Really, Pixi is spoiling their bloggers :)  And this one likes to be spoiled :) 

Let's start with what catches the eye first. The travel makeup/skin care bag. Isn't it gorgeous! The soft pink color looks so nice with light green and the roses printed all over the bag? Stunning! It is perfect for travels and of course filled with all the essentials I need :) I will definitely bring it with me when I come visit Poland in April :) Ah can't wait! And of course my Mom will get few of my favorite Pixi products :) 

So now what products were in the bag and did I tried them before ? Pixi basically sent over the whole Rose Infused line. I did try some products before and some I am eager to try. As I am writing this post the "new new" products landed on bathroom counter and I will be testing them out. 

Rose water, rose oils, rose anything is very popular in skin care these days, and it should. Rose water and the oils has many great skin benefits such as anti-inflammatory, it helps minimize redness, soothes the skin irritation and helps with blemishes. Plus keeps the skin moisture and  it is ideal for all skin types, especially acne/ sensitive skin. 

The products that came with the bag are:

* Makeup Melting Cleaning Cloths ~ with Chamomile, Grape Seed Oil and Rose. The small pack includes 10 wipes. This is one of the products I have not yet to try. But according to Pixi, it should gently and efficiently remove all traces of makeup. Infused with soothing and hydrating botanical extracts, these wipes will make skin feel clean and balanced after each use. 

* Rose Cream Cleanser ~ nourishing cream cleanser with mineral rich mud  cleans skin as it helps strengths and soften it. Enrich with Rose,Avocado, Chamomile and Aloe Vera. I did try this and I do like it. Most importantly my skin likes it. Feel clean and hydrated afterwords. Definitely need to play more with it. ($18 Pixi Website / Target)
* Rose Tonic ~ I do love the Glow Tonic, so when i saw they came out with Rose I wanted to get my hands on it fast. I was lucky to be sent a while ago mini sizes of both glow and rose tonic. I pulled out one right away and I been using it ever since. This rose and elder-flower toner calms redness, soothes irritation and hydrates the skin. Keeps my skin fresh and plump :) Love it. Pixi, I think makes one of the best toners! NOw I need to get my hands on the Retinol one :) ($15-$29; Pixi and Target)

* Rose Caviar Essence ~ I had this one before and still have in my skin care drawer. I remember when I first got it a while back this product excited me the most. Just by looking at it I wanted to put all over my face.  This Caviar Essence contains encapsulated flower oils suspended in the serum that melts into the skin upon application. The Essence should be applied after toning and it has a nice cooling effect on the skin coz of the gel like texture. Just love it ($24' Pixi and Target)
* Rose Flash Balm ~ 3 in 1, oil free quick absorbing formula instantly moisturizes and brightness the skin. Its perfect for tired, lackluster skin. Can be use as a primer and mask as well. I tried this before many times under the makeup and I really enjoyed it. Love how hydrated my skin felt. Definitely one of the best products by Pixi that is worth checking out. ($24; Pixi and Target)
* Rose Ceramide Cream ~ this got me exciting. I believe this is the newest Pixi product, because I have never seen it before. I have not yet to try it but according to Pixi: "this ultra rich moisture cream, infused with rose flower and rosemary oil drenched your skin in deep hydration. Antioxidant rich plant extracts and ceramides help improve skin elasity and lock in intense moisture while helping to protect against environmental aggressors. It quenches thirsty skin leaving  it healthier and more supple and smooth." I am really looking forward to try this :) ($24; Pixi and target)

* Rose Oil Blend ~ This is my favorite oil! Not only my, ask my sister in law how many did she used already :) I always see her repurchase it. And guess who introduce her to it :) You got that right, ME:) It extremely hydrates, restores and provides skin with natural glow. I don't use it every day, but when I do is mostly night time, I add 1-2 drops to my moisturizer and I can head to bed.
* Makeup Fixing Mist ~ I have like three of them lying around somewhere :) I like how good it sets the makeup. I did write a post on Multi Misting a while back (click here). I adore Pixi mists, and most of the time these are the ones I use the most. ($15; Pixi and Target)
* Rose Glow Mist ~ ah it is so nice to try new mists. I been eyeing this one for a while :) It contains 7 flower oils, essential fatty acids and antioxidant so it does have a dual phase effect and needs a good shake before use. The key ingredients are rose oil, argan oil and avocado oil. It smells amazing and makes my skin hydrating , soft and it gives a skin beautiful glow-y effect, with out greasy residue. ($15, Pixi and Target)

Did your try Pixi Skin Care before? What are your favorites?

Holiday Package from Pixi Beauty

*pr sample*

Happy New Year My Loves! 

Right before Christmas, Pixi Beauty sent over two boxes with some Holiday goodies. 

Sorry, I did not have time to get this post up before Christmas. 

I am posting it now, because the Holiday sets are 50% off at Pixibeauty.com 

Let me quickly show what I got and quick over view as I did try the products before. 

* Ultimate Beauty Kit 5th Edition ~ First off I adore the print on the packaging. Second I swatched it and it feel and looks like a really decent beauty book. On one side you have your matte shadows, the middle face products and the right shimmer shadows. 

Formula feels silky and blend able. Right now the book is on sale for about $16. 

* Best of Roses Holiday Kit ~ all rose favorites from Pixi in one kit. Deluxe samples of  Rose Cream Cleanser, Rose Tonic and Rose Flash Balm. I personally love the rose edition by Pixi. The tonic I got recently and love it. Rose have many amazing benefits so go ahead and try for yourself. This little kit retails now for $11. 

* Best of Bright Holiday Kit ~ another great kit that contains deluxe samples of Glow Mud Cleanser, Glow Tonic and Glow Mud Mask. I just say that I had tried these before and I am a big fan. Glow Tonic is a cult favorite and if you didn't try then what are you waiting for? Cleanser and Mask are really good. Just like the kit above this one retails for $11 at the moment. 

Pixi Beauty was also kind enough to send over a huge, personalized bottle of Glow Tonic with few of the cotton rounds. I got similar one last year as well :) 

This package really inspired me to work on a skin care shelfie so I can have it nicely displayed and have a easy access to all of my favorites. It is something to think about it this year :) 

 

Along with the Holiday Sets, Pixi thrown in a beautiful and the softest throw/blanket. I love how it had tag with my name on it! Plus did I say how soft it is!?! Its 100% Cashmere you guys! The most prefect Xmas gift! Thank you a lot Pixi Beauty Team!
