Pixi Makeup Palette

I recently purchased some Pixi makeup palettes off of Hautelook.com. What originally sold me was the adorable "fairy-like" packaging. I have never heard any reviews about this company so I had no clue how pigmented these products would be.

1. Week of Wakeup Makeup - An awesome makeup set/palette that comes with a weeks worth of makeup ideas/color schemes.
I really love this concept! As you can see from the photo's below, each day is labeled in the blush color and comes with 3 eye shadow colors, 1 blush color, and 1 lip gloss color. Of course you DONT have to abide by the dates, but its just a fun way to change up your everyday makeup look. 7 different looks to choose from. As far as the pigmentation goes I'd say they are well pigmented, at least to my liking. The lip gloss's do feel a bit stick to me, but not too bad. The blush colors all seem to be either in the brown and peachy pink family which is ok with me, but I would have liked to see a bit more variety. The one thing I will say about each date is that the eye shadow "look" for Wednesday and Thursday seem to be a bit more dramatic than what I would wear during the work week, I would like to see those 2 switched with the Friday and Saturday look. 
This set is awesome for traveling, especially if you will be gone a whole week. ;)
It also comes with a BIG mirror on the top lid. 

Pro's: Adorable packaging, Switches up your daily makeup look, decently pigmented, travel friendly.
CON's: Some of the makeup color schemes should be switched, lip gloss isnt that pigmented and kinda sticky, needs more blush shade range.

Available at Target

Hautelook.com price: $9.50 - NOT sure how much it normally retails for.










2. POP Beauty Goddess Clutch - Rock N Roll
This is a cute little makeup clutch to just throw in your bag and GO! I chose the one called Rock N' Roll which comes with gun metal gray's and green eye shadows to edge your look up a bit. Comes with 7 shimmer shadows and 1 matte brown shadow, 2 pink blush's, and a clear shimmery gloss.

PRO's: Easy and compact, good pigmentation, comes in different color scheme's
CON's: Could use a color lip gloss as opposed to just clear, No mirror, could use some more matte colors (but then again it is a Rock N' Roll palette)

Hautelook.com price: $9.00 - Not sure how much it normally retails for.









3. Pixi Lumi Lux Radiance Powder - Peach Petal
Such a gorgeous color combo. A shimmery mix of a golden color with the light olive green (making up the rose leaves) and the shimmery/matte pinky color (making up the rose bud).

PRO's: Cute packaging, you get a LOT of product, subtle shimmer color mix, decent pigmentation.
CON's: No mirror, may be too shimmery for some.

Hautelook.com Price: $7.00 - Not sure how much it normally retails for.

Can be bought at Target.
