Pixi Beauty - New Launches!

A few weeks ago, i attended a Target Beauty Event featuring a ton of new launches coming this Spring and Summer.  I always enjoy seeing what's new with Pixi, especially the weeks of the event because Pixi kept hinting at something big coming soon.  I was thrilled to uncover the big secret before it was announced to the world!  Pixi not only launched a ton of new amazing products, but they also collabed with three gorgeous beauty influencers to create some beautiful palettes!  I snagged a few at the event along with some of the new products that peeked my curiosity.

Dulce Candy teamed up with Pixi to create a beautiful lip palette as well as the Cafe Con Dulce multi-purpose palette.  I'll be honest, I'm not big on lip palettes but i simply could not pass up the stunning eyeshadow/highlighter palette.  It's filled with warm toned, shimmery shadows (they can also be used as highlighter).  This palette is absolutely beautiful and certainly worth checking out!

When i laid eyes on Pixi's Eye Reflexions Shadow Mixed Metals Palette i fell madly in love!  There is no resisting the intensely (in the sweetest of ways) pigmented shadows in this palette.  I squealed with excitement when i lightly swatched them at the event so needless to say, i snagged one for myself immediately!  I mean... you need it... period! 

A major standout out for me were these insanely gorgeous Glowy Duos highlighters!  Pixi you got these SO RIGHT!  They're buttery, super pigmented and will deliver the most Goddess like glow!  No... seriously... these highlighters are perhaps my favorite yet from the brand! They're showstoppers! 

Pixi Dimensional Eye Creator Kit Let's Talk Palette and Black Liner Duo was created in collaboration with beauty influencer Weylie.  I kind of thought this little kit was somewhat genius.  First, i love the idea of a dual ended eyeliner... one side is a liquid liner pen and the other is a pencil liner.  Pixi makes the best eyeliners too... they're rich in pigment, have major stay power and glide beautifully without any tugging.  The palette itself has beautiful warm tones with a perfect marriage of mattes and shimmers.  The colors are very wearable and very 'me' if you will!  It's also compact enough for travel.  Toss this beauty in your travel bag and go!  

Not pictured here but absolutely adored is the new Rose Tonic!  You all know how obsessed i am with Pixi's Glow Tonic... i mean surely I've mentioned it here once or twice (or a hundred times... oops)!  Well, Pixi is raising the bar with this new launch!  If you love the smell of roses you'll fall madly in love with this amazing toner.  It makes my skin feel incredible and is a wonderful means of prepping my skin for my serums and moisturizer.  Obsessed with this beauty!

There are many more amazing launches happening now at Pixi Beauty.  I will pick up a few more to show you but for now i thought you'd enjoy these gorgeous products as much as I'm enjoying using them!  You can shop the post below!  Xo, Carla 

Target Beauty Preview Event- Spring/Fall 2016 Launches

Last week i had the pleasure of attending the Target Beauty Preview Event in NYC showcasing an array of Spring/Fall 2016 launches.  Let me just preface by saying that when Target hosts an event, they do it right!  The event took place at the Target Studios in Chelsea and lucky for me, i got to experience it all with a couple of my gorgeous blogger friends Hello Miss Niki and Beauty Judy! Lets face it, these events are always more fun when shared with friends.

The place was a beauty lover's dream!  Shelves adorned with much anticipated new launches (i'm looking at you Pixi Glow Tonic Pads)!  While browsing through products, you could get mini massages, manicures or hair touch ups!  What a sweet way to pamper us beauty enthusiasts! First, i met with Petra of Pixi Beauty.  You all know i'm a huge fan of both the brand and the creator.  We caught up a bit on life and of course chatted about all the wonderful products launching in late August.  We had a good laugh because i swear there are certain product Petra makes for me (ok, humor me people!)  Seriously though,  last Fall Pixi launched Glow Tonic at Target Stores in a travel friend bottle.  This was major for me because i always have to pour my GT into a tiny bottle whenever i travel. Thankfully i no longer have to do that.  Well, things just go so real because Pixi is launching Glow Tonic Pads!!!!  Thank you Pixi... i know you created this for me.... for real!  I had a chance to try one on the back of my hand and it smells incredible.  Also noted, the pads were quite saturated so they'll work product onto your skin quite beautifully!  OK, we will have to chat more about this launch a bit later this summer but i simply couldn't help myself!  Pixi is also launching some gorgeous Multibalms that can be used on your cheeks, lips and eyes!  You know i love me some multi-tasking products right?  I'm going to have so much fun with these!  Oh and i got a few in my gift bag so expect a review soon!

Next stop.... Sonia Kashuk!  You guys... seriously brace yourselves!  I was blown away by a few products here.  First, look a that GORGEOUS makeup hunter green makeup pouch with matching brush set!  Could you just die?!!!!!  Honestly, I'm completely smitten and think this will be my favorite Fall beauty situation!  I was stoked to see the makeup pouch in my gift bag and you better believe that as soon as those brushes launch, i will be purchasing them!  They're gorgeous and incredibly soft!  One of the other products that had me practically drooling is the stunning Six Pan Eye Palette in Gems & Jewels.... Oh Em Geeee you guys it's STUNNING!  Seriously, this palette will be your BFF this Fall... trust!  Also featured at the event were SK brush sets with matching carrying cases and travel pouches.  Sonia Kashuk does travel makeup bags right!  I currently own quite a collection of them because they make traveling with my favorite beauty products a cinch!

A much anticipated upcoming launch happening this Fall at Target is their collaboration with Beautycounter!  I recently posted about this launch here but it was so much fun actually previewing the products in person! The Rosewater Mist is one i'm very excited to own when the collection launches!  I will also pick up the Blush and Bronze Duo as well as the Cream Blush! Such a gorgeous collection!

Here is a preview of all the brands on display! 

Fun fact... after trying this You Are Amazing Final Spritz Coconut Water Body Spritz.... i ran to my local target (literally after the event before getting home) and purchased the entire inventory!  It's the best $3.99 you will EVER spend! 

Below is my portrait drawn by a local artist at the event... so fun!

A huge thank you to Target for inviting me to this amazing event!  I loved learning about all the wonderful things happening in beauty particularly at Target since i practically live there!  Seriously Target... just take my money... obsessed! Target gifted me a very generous swag bag (if you follow me on SnapChat @fashionmavenmom you've already seen what's inside), so i'll be sure to review some of the products inside in time for their upcoming launches!  

Thank you so much for reading! Xo, Carla -  FMM
