Pixi Tinted Brilliance Tinted Lip Balm Unique Pink Review

 

 

Here's another product I managed to snag during the Target Liquidation sales. I had wanted to try this lip balm for a long time and I the sale gave me the perfect excuse to pick this little thing up. Regularly it retails for $14 dollars but I got it for $8.

 

Claims from the Pixi UK Website: Super-nourishing, lip-staining balm that keeps lips in optimum condition while giving them lush colour. Award winning. Packed with lip-loving ingredients, this glossy gel balm protects & hydrates lips instantly. After the balm wears off, lips are left tinted with a flattering, personalized hue just for you (colour & intensity depends on pH level of lips).

As you can see the lip balm has a soft pink almost gel-like colour in the tube similar to a lot of these ph sensing lip balms. This lip balm supposedly flushes your lips with a personalized pink but really that's not true. I've done enough research to know these lip balms contain a pigment that is initally clear but turns bright pink when it comes in contact with moisture. I still do love this lip balms because they provide a nice flush of colour and it doesn't transfer!

The lip balm has a minty feel but it doesn't tingle for a really long time after application. The lip balm does feel hydrating on my lips and has a glossy appearance. I think it's really cool, the way the lip balm goes from clear to a brighter pink. The colour is never overwhelming against my skin tone which I think is fine.

My only gripe? The price! It's steep for a softly tinted lip balm! I'm glad I did try this lip balm cause I got to satisfy my curiosity but I wouldn't purchase this lip balm again just because of the price.

Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm Review

I'm really sorry I hadn't tried this lip balm earlier.

Claims from the Pixi website: Awaken lips with this super-nourishing balm. The unique formula is rich but lightweight and gives a gorgeous wash of colour to lips – it’s the perfect pick-me-up anytime! Packed full of beneficial ingredients, this balm soothes lips immediately & nourishes them long term.

Regularly this retails for $8CAD but I got it during Target Canada's liquidation sale so I got it for $6.40. I purchased Comfort Clear which is perfectly clear. The lip balm smells like warm vanilla with a soft plastic note. The smell isn't too overpowering so I don't mind how odd it smells.

The texture of the lip balm is amazing. This lip balm is creamy and just melts onto your lips. Honestly when I apply it I feel like its going to break but it doesn't and it coats my lips in pure hydration. I absolutely adore the way the lip balm feels on my lips.

I would repurchase this lip balm again, if I could! Too bad Target left, there's no way for me to get a hold of Pixi unless I cross the border or visit the UK.

Likes:

1. The moisture!
2. The melty texture!

Dislikes

1. The plastic-y smell.
2. The unavailability
3. Rather pricey for a clear lip balm. We're beginning to into Sephora level prices here.
