Hello Rose!

Pixi has been on fire with their new launches!  While i have yet to get my hands on some of their new products, (Target run asap) i did fall in love with this sweet little trio!  I've been all about glowy skin lately.  Pixi's Glow Booster in Pink Pearl is simply perfection!  You can use it to prime your skin or simply for a sheer flush of sheen.  The Beauty Blush Duo in Rose Gold is insanely GORGEOUS! The highlight will have you glowing for miles and the rosy pink tone adds the sweetest flush of color to your cheeks conveniently packaged in one 'travel friendly' compact.  Lastly, i love the formula of the LipLift Max in Sheer Rose.  It wears comfortably and has a minty flavor which i personally enjoy.

Pixi Fall 2015 Launch Event in NYC

Last Tuesday, i had the pleasure of attending the Pixi Fall 2015 Launch Event in NYC with my good beauty blogger friend Niki of 'Hello Miss Niki' (go follow her, she's amazing).  As always, Pixi events are such a fest for senses! The event took place at the Standard Hotel penthouse in downtown so as you could imagine, the views of NYC were nothing short of spectacular!  While the views were amazing, the beautiful Fall collection took center stage with Pixi's 'holy grail' Glow Tonic as the center piece of it all.  There were specialty drinks inspired by the Glow tonic, a brows and eyes station, a lip station and a complexion station.  Petra the woman behind the brand is quite possibly one of the kindest, sweetest most inspiring woman!  We chatted for a little while about makeup of course and about our twin girls (she has twins too!) The entire event was one that will certainly stand out in my mind as a wonderful night and the swag bag... oh em geee... thank you Pixi and Target Style for such a gracious and incredibly generous swag bag!  What a treat!  I will chat about that a little later on when i cover the Fall Collection.  Today however, i thought I'd give you a glimpse of the fun night at the Pixi event because many of you that do not have SnapChat (follow me at FashionMavenMom) were sad that you couldn't follow along!  I've put together a fun little montage and hope you enjoy it!  

You can stock up on Pixi's Fall collection at your local Target or Pixibeauty.com!

Pixi Spring Launch Party in NYC With Target Style!

I was stoked to get an invite to Pixi's Spring Launch party.  First, because I'm a huge fan of the brand, second I'm obsessed with Target, and third, i think Pixi's spring launch is quite possibly my favorite yet and so i was excited to see it all up close and personal!  This party was everything and more!  When i walked in, i was immediately drawn the the stunning hues surrounding the room. There were gorgeous sprays of pastel toned flowers, painter's palettes adorned with Pixi products, over sized paint brushes, makeup stations for quick touch-ups, a photo station complete with props for fun photo ops, champagne, cheese, macaroons... gosh the list goes on and on! This feast for your eyes, and senses quickly mesmerized me!  Speaking of a feast for your eyes, you guys, Petra Strand, the creator of Pixi is seriously gorgeous!  She was so welcoming and made me feel so at ease! Shortly after meeting her, we posed for an impromptu photo shoot!  It was SO fun!  I'll treasure that photo and memory for as long as i live!  Side Note: When i initially met Petra, a huge bead of sweat dripped down my forehead and no matter how discrete my attempt was at wiping it off... there was just no way out of it.  I finally confessed that after having my twin girls, my hormones have been a little out of whack and well, sweat happens!  She was so sweet about it and quickly asked about my little ladies which made me breathe a little easier!  Oh and lastly, when her pretty shoes pinched her feet half way through the event, she took them off and rocked bare feet for the duration of the night!  Petra... you're my kind of girl!

OK on to the makeup!  This collection was inspired by watercolor hence, the painter's palettes and water color canvases throughout the room.  One particular work of art i quite enjoyed, was a DIY nail polish canvas art featuring the spring collection's nail polish colors.  I'm obsessed with the blue polish and am going to purchase it stat!  It's seriously a must have you guys!  There was one palette in particular that completely blew me away... the Emerald Gold palette has the most stunning emerald green shadow you've ever seen... like ever!!!  The cheek tints were spectacular, the balms were stunning!  Honestly, this is one of those collections that you will have a very hard time narrowing down your choices!  You'll want it ALL!  The endless silky eye pens are divine.  In fact, i recently purchased one in Emerald Gold but am going to pick up Blue Black soon!  I have a ton of product swatches to show you in a future post so stay tuned!

Overall, this night was AMAZING!  Thank you Pixi, Petra and Target for an unforgettable evening of beauty!  You can shop Pixi's new launch at Target stores or Pixi online!
