Hi, I'm Amelia! I'm a full time student and beauty blogger living and working in the Southeast United States. I'm originally from England and hoping to move back to the UK soon. I'm an absolute beauty junkie (not helped by the fact that I work at a Cosmetics Company Store) and Harry Potter fanatic. If you want to get to know me better, you can read this post.

The Best of Pixi Beauty

If you're new to this blog: Hello. My name is Amelia. I'm obsessed with Pixi. Like really obsessed. They've become one of my favourite brands and I especially adore their Skin Treats line. I'm very lucky to be on their press list so I've built up my collection quite a bit. But these are products that I've bought with my own money (bar one thing) and they are my favourites.

Oh, Glow Tonic. My absolute love. So much so that I bought the 500ml bottle. Oops. This is a 5% Glycolic Toner that removes excess dirt and impurities but also helps exfoliate the skin for a brighter complexion. Glycolic Acid has teeny tiny molecules that can get deep into the epidermis, meaning it can help accelerate cell renewal. Yes please. For something a bit stronger I love the Overnight Glow Serum which contains 10% Glycolic Acid. This will have you waking up with bright, smooth skin. I was a little skeptical when I first tried this because I'd never used a concentrated exfoliating acid previously but I loved it and am still loving it. This is a great option if you have more sensitive skin because it also has cucumber and aloe vera to soothe.

There's a lot of buzz going around about the Pixi Mists, and for good reason. I blimmin' love them. The Glow Mist is formulated with 13 natural oils and fruit essences, leaving your skin dewy and glowy. BUT, it also somehow manages to help your makeup stay on. It's literal magic. Speaking of magic, the Hydrating Milky Mist has become one of my top favourites. This beaut has Hyaluronic Acid and Black Oats, so it's super hydrating and refreshing. I only have little baby sizes of the Glow Mud Mask and Glow Mud Cleanser from a set, but I'll definitely be purchasing the full sizes once I run out! The cleanser is a cleansing mud, with 5% glycolic acid, and I feel like it does a great job at really deep cleaning my skin without stripping it. The mask has kaolin and sea salt to purify skin, and ginseng and aloe to balance. This really leaves my skin looking super energized.

A few months ago, the Pixi Pretties collection launched, several collaborations with different beauty influencers and I love allll the products. Three, however really stood out to me. I've been loving Aspyn's Glow-y Powders, they're so finely milled and come in three gorgeous colours. London Lustre is my absolute favourite, an icy white similar to my beloved Cover Fx Moonstone. I'm quite surprised by how much I've ended up loving the Lip Palette from itsjudytime's collection. I thought they would be a bit cheapy like typical lip palettes. But they're actually incredibly pigmented and creamy, in an almost matte-satiny finish that lasts really well! It's also been fun to mix and match and create custom shades.

Last but not least I obviously adore the Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse. I mean firstly, CH is my queen. Secondly, I love double cleansing. Match made in heaven. It's a solid and cream cleanser duo that's paraben free, fragrance free, and not tested on animals! The solid oil gets off all of my makeup SO quickly, even better than the Clinique balm. It's super gentle on my skin, but still powers through mascara surprisingly quickly. The cream cleanser is also lovely, it's sort of similar to my beloved Milky Jelly but more cream less jelly (think silk instead of clouds). The oil side contains Vitamin E to protect and condition, Cameillia Oil which is rich in Omegas, and Evening Primrose Oil to heal and moisturize. The cream side contains Vitamin C to protect and promote collagen, a Peptide Complex to plump and reduce lines, Arginnie which improves cell renewal and elasticity (yes, please) This is also becoming a permanent product, and by the hints dropped will be a part of a bigger CH collection (eeeeeeeee!)!
