PIXI Correction Concentrate : Swatches & Review & Comparison

As you all know, I have dark under eye circles dilemma. And for years since I started to become passionate about makeup I've been looking for a perfect correcting concealer. One of them is Pixi Correction Concentrate in brightening peach. In fact this is included in My Top Fave : Under Eye Correctors that you can read it HERE.

PIXI CORRECTION CONCENTRATE IN BRIGHTENING PEACH

This is the second jar that I've bought & to tell you, I'm in loooove with it! But one thing I've noticed is they kind of revamp the packaging but I don't know if they have formulated the product. We'll see as you read this blog later on.

This is the outer packaging of the product. How I wish they just packed the product to the size of the item so just not confuse the buyer if it is in a bottle form or jar form.

At the side of the packaging, you'll see the ingredients of the product as well as the website of Pixi.

 

 Inside, the product is packed in a glass jar with the green cap on the "Pixi by Petra" in printed in gold shade on the center.

I've put side by side my previous pixi corrector & their latest packaging. You will see the huge difference. Gone was the cute pixie fairy silhouette which I prefer more & was replaced by just the name of the product. Sorry for the dirty cap (hihi).

Upon opening the jar, lo, & behold, love the peachy shade.

 

Net Weight : 3 g / 0.1 oz

I am happy to say that the shade & consistency of the concealer is still the same but the texture is more creamier.

So, have you tried PIXI Correction Concentrate in Brightening Peach? You can buy it locally in all beauty stores or online.

Pixi Correction Concentrate in Brightening Peach Swatches & Review

For all of you who have been following my blog posts must be aware that I've been talking about correctors probably because one of my problem are my dark circles. One of the correctors I've been talking about is the Pixi Correction Concentrate in Brightening Peach. Peachy color corrector is a perfect shade to counteract blue circles. 

Packaging ; It comes in a small glassy jar with a green plastic with a cute pixie fairy shape.

As you can see there's a deep dent on it, been using this a lot. I pre-order this from a seller that bought straight from the US that's why I've been using this sparingly but I was glad that now it's available here. Now, I don't have to worry if I have hit pan on this *so happy*

Net Weight : 3 g / 0.1 oz.

Overall : This is a good peachy corrector though need to apply it little by little with its thick cream. This shade is good for every skin tone, once I applied it, I found a great brightening result on my dark under eyes. 

Have you tried this corrector? What do you think?

Thank you for stopping by.

Dupes Galore : Pixi vs Skinfood

Hi, Beauty Gurlz! Here's another post on dupes between two under eye correctors. If you have been following my blog posts you'll see that the two products that I am discussing here are also in my top 3 Fave eye correctors hahaha.

Pixi correction concentrate in brightening peach is one of a drugstore eye corrector product that's been a hype in the States & can be bought at Target. Though it's a little pricey for a drugstore product but still a lot cheaper & affordable compared to high end peachy corrector. It has a very peachy shade that really upon applying on your dark under eye it knocks out those blue veins. 

The Skinfood Salmon Dark Circle is also peachy under eye corrector that's available in the Asian countries. From the word "salmon" you might already have an idea that this is no ordinary concealer but a color corrector concealer that also deals with dark under eye circle. If you searched on google, a lot of bloggers say that this is a dupe for the Pixi corrector - since this is not available before. 

On the swatches above you will see them side by side. On the left side is the Skinfood Salmon concealer which is more yellow undertone while on the right is the Pixi corrector which is more of an orange undertone.  But if you look at them separately, both of them have this peachy-ness shades but on side by side you will see closely.

So, there you have it guys. Hope my blog post helps.

Thanks guys for dropping by!

Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer Swatches & Review

If you've been following my blog, you'll noticed that I've been posting "My Top 3 Favorite" from foundation, eye shadows all the way to summer essentials. Then I also tackle face primers & one of them is Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer. 

A primer is like a barrier between your moisturizer & your foundation. The purpose of this is to improve coverage & lengthen the amount of time the cosmetics lasts on the face. It acts as a primary coat to your face as it evens out the surface of your face so that after applying a foundation it would have a smooth finish. Primers have 2 different types - water based & a silicone based. Some contains sun screen protection, some don't. There are a lot of different kinds of a primer - there are primers that are like moisturizers, primers that gives a matte appearance or like the one I am about to do a review, gives a luminous appearance.

Packaging : Comes in a squared glass bottle in goldish bronze color, the cap is plastic (upon checking on their website this is an old packaging)

Comes in a pump form which is good to prevent from the product to spill & a controlled usage of the product as well.

The product comes in a bronze-y color but when blended it turns to a luminous shade that give a perfect glow & a water-based formula perfect for very oily skin or to those folk with sensitive skin for silicone based.

Overall : I love this primer because it gives a dewy glow even though it's a water based formula. I usually use this & the very first thing that comes to my mind when my face looks dull, lots of blemish & redness especially those times when my face is so oily hence, one of my top 3 favorite primers to use. 

How about you? Have you tried this primer? Care to share your thoughts?

Thank you for stopping by!

My Top 3 Favorite Face Primer : Part 2

For my Part 2 of My Top 3 Favorite Face Primer - a mixture of high end and drugstore brand. Before that here's my post of my Part 1 of My Top 3 Favorite Face Primer. Ok, let's get started with my Part 2 shall we?

Primers is a very essential and important step after moisturizer and before applying makeup because it's a step that give protection to your face from the ingredients coming from your makeup which may be harsh on your skin. It's like a barrier between your favorite moisturizer and your favorite foundation.

Me, I have very oily skin and it gets more oily on summer days but a little drier on colder days. Primers have two bases - silicone and aqua. I was blessed that my face is not too sensitive, so I can try different primers without ever have to worry if I might end up with blemishes. Though, in rare times my face is too sensitive.

Now, onto my next favorite face primers.

From left to right - Laura Mercier in oil free and radiance, Loreal True Match (which I have done a review HERE do check it out) and PIXI Flawless Beauty Primer in No. 1 Even Skin

Laura Mercier - I first heard this primer from one of my favorite Youtube Gurus - the Pixiwoo Sisters where they started using the Tinted Moisturizer. This primer is a water base, good for every skin types. I use the Oil Free Primer during times when my face is oily that gives a matte effect and the Radiance one is when my face is so dull like I haven't gotten enough beauty sleep which gives my face a silky glow. Just an added trivia for those beauty lovers and enthusiasts, Gurwitch Products who owns Laura Mercier is being acquired by Shiseido - a Japan based firm brand known for producing skin care, hair care, cosmetics and fragrance products. That also, owns NARS, Cl'e de Peau, Ipsa and Bare Minerals (whew!). That is something we look forward to of Laura Mercier in the near future now that Shiseido owns it.

Loreal True Match  - A creamy formula that gives a blur effect which helps when my face is having a bad times like redness and blemishes. I did an in-depth review on this, just click the "HERE" located above to lead you on my post.

PIXI Flawless Beauty Primer  - A cream, water based formula which gives a light, glow sheen on your face. In fact, I can wear this alone and just apply concealer and good to go. Pixi have other range of primers but this one I love the most though, this glass bottle is an old packaging. Last time I've checked on their website they changed the packaging to tube size. I'll be posting an in-depth review on this soon. (Do watch out for that).  

Swatches : From top to bottom on the back of my hand - Laura Mercier foundation primer Oil Free and Radiance, Loreal True Match Blur Cream and PIXI Flawless Beauty Primer

Well, what primers are you using? Love to hear them.

Thanks for stopping by.
