Pop of Pixi

I think one of my favorite things to buy, make up wise, is blush. For whatever reason it’s the most exciting thing to put on your face. A good blush can really awaken your complexion and brighten up your face. I recently picked up a great blush for summer time.

Pixi by Petra Beauty Blush in Purest Peach – $4.80 CAD

To quote Superbad “I just want to go to the rooftops and scream, I love [this blush]!” I am seriously impressed with this little pan. I was wandering around Target the other day killing time to avoid traffic after work, and I obviously found myself in the beauty section. I originally was eying a neutral eyeshadow palette but I thought to myself do I seriously need another? and passed. I was looking through the blush section of the Pixi display and they only had testers of two other shades, one felt a little chalky, and the other felt amazing. I decided to take my chances picking up the shade 02 ‘Purest Peach’ because my blush collection is seriously lacking in the peach/coral department.

The packaging is quite small, and you only get .02 oz of product. I can get over the small pan 1. because of the price, and 2. what I love about this blush is it’s so natural and brightening to the face. I always avoided peach toned blushes because I thought I would look orange, boy was I wrong. This blush has a natural tone to it that looks so beautiful on the skin. The consistency is amazing, really nice and buttery and smooth. I use my Real Techniques Blush Brush with this blush and it picks up the perfect amount. I don’t need to worry about picking up too much pigment, you can really slap it on without thinking about it.

For pale ladies like myself it gives off the most natural flush. The formula does have small amounts of shimmer, but that doesn’t bother me. I usually go for a matte blush, but the shimmer in this formula is really complimentary. This is the first powder blush I’ve used in a while, and I’m happy to switch back for this blush. I would also like to add that this blush has great ingredients. The blush is infused with rosehip extract, honeysuckle flower, and is paraben, talc and fragrance free. I really want to pick up the other shades, I think Rosy Rouge would be fantastic for fall.

Talk soon,
