Pixi Beauty Holiday Lipstick Quartette ~ Review and Swatches




Hello my Pixi Lovers.
 By the way if you didn’t try Pixi Beauty yet, do it, Thank me later. 
I really think I should post this review two weeks ago. Well no one to blame for it, but me. As I said Pixi is such an amazing company, not only they are cruelty free but they also care for their bloggers. We all got in a mail few weeks back, a nice little gift. Pixi was sending out their holiday sets, so we all (I assume all) got one. I was lucky and I got Mini Lipstick set. How sweet was that! 
Let me tell you about all three sets, insert some pics and then I talk about my gorgeous lipsticks.
This year Pixi launched 3 Holiday sets. So, this year we have beautiful Contouring palette with eye shadows, Silky eyeliners and mini lipstick set. I tell you something secret, I really like the contouring palette J look how gorgeous it is J contouring is a big thing and I trying to level up my poor skills. But let’s talk lipsticks, coz that is what I have.
They come in this stunning red packaging with gold detailing that screams Christmas. Inside there is 4 mini bestselling lipsticks. This is so funny, coz I was planning on getting 3 out of 4. I feel in love with the colors and formula. Plus after watching swatches on Shaaanxo channel I knew I need them. This set is a best way for you to try their luxe formula. With a mix of gorgeous suit-all hues, definitely will help you find a must have color.  Demi matte finish. Free of paraben, fragrance, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oil and gluten. They apply so smooth and feel weightless on the lips.



The Holiday MatteLustre Lipstick Quartette comes with shades:
* Honey bare ~ brownish, warm nude.
* Petal Pink ~ gorgeous flattering light pink. 
* Rose Naturalle ~perfect lip rose more on a brown side. 
* Bitten Rose ~ berry rose and very natural 



Now, the actual lipstick packaging is not as good. It is very different form their regular, full sized packaging.  I am not going to lie, it feels really cheap. Another thing is I couldn't twist up Honey Bare lipstick. I was afraid if I try harder it will break. But after all the struggle it finally worked.  Aside from that, I really think this set is worth buying. Great as a gift for someone or just a treat for yourself. Also, after swatching them on the back of my hand , I saw that the Bitten Rose left a stain that I couldn't take off. 




 You can purchase set on PixiWebsite and Target Website. 
Set retails for $14. Set itself is a limited edition , but all lipsticks are available for purchase ( full size $12) .




MAC Magic OF the Night ~ My picks



 MAC holiday collection is here! And it is so beautiful! Also the packaging.. MAC never disappoints when it comes to Limited Edition packaging. 
Lipsticks have gorgeous purple metallic packaging, skin finishes ~ blue and  Pigments ~ teal. 
As much as I wanted to buy all collection, I had to stopped only at 2 items :( Yes sadly there is more Holiday set out there that I really want. So lets jump to my haul.

'Please Me' Lipstick  ~ medium muted rosy pink. Matte finish. Available also i permanent line. And since I don't own it, now I have in special LE packaging. I actually bought two of them. One for me and one for my fried. Texture is creamy and applies evenly. Not as much drying as I thought it would be. Long lasting, vanilla scent. Metallic Purple Packaging LE. ($18)

'Oh, darling' Extra Dimension Skin Finnish ~  oh yes this baby sold out so fast! Even when I got to MAC store at 8;30am in the morning it was almost gone! They told me at the store that a girl bought 20! of them! CRAZY!!!!!! and she asked ho many do I want? LOL I was like : Just one please :) 'Oh, darling ' is described as metallic gold with MAC prints on the surface. Comes with this gorgeous metallic blue packaging. Also it is compared to famous Whisper of Guilt , which i don't own and that is why I bought this one :) ($33)
