I'm hoping they will create more shades in different colors. These apply easily and are pretty opaque. They're easy to blend out with a brush before they dry but once they dry, they will flake off if you try to blend them. I also noticed I'll have small glitter particles on my face as the day goes on, so it's safe to say they will flake off as the day goes on. However, they somehow look just as intense at the end of the night as they did when I applied them.

I don't recommend layering them and they will get uneven and flaky, which isn't ideal. If you're concerned with them not 100% covering your lid, just apply a shadow underneath. I usually do this anyway. 

Despite having pieces of glitter on my face throughout the day, I find these stay put pretty well and are easy to remove. They're an awesome and easy way to glam up your eye look and I totally recommend checking them out in a store. They retail for $15 each on Pixi's website, so they're a little easier on the wallet than Stila, but I've still got an eye out for an even less expensive version.

Let me know if you try them & thanks for reading!

As I mentioned, products like skin care and foundations I only recommend for those who know their mothers skin types and conditions. So proceed with caution. If you aren't familiar with that territory, opt for something safer, such as the eyeshadow palettes or lip treatments. I tried to keep a nice range of products while staying within the realm of beauty and I picked the most non-offensive fragrance currently available; it just happened to arrive at the most opportune time.

I hope this was helpful and good luck!

So even though I forgot to post the review, I used this pretty much non-stop while trying out the other Pixi releases and I still alternate it with my other makeup removers.

It comes in a jar with a screw on lid and it's obviously divided into two sides. This is how most solid cleansing oils are packaged and since it's a duo, the cleanser is packaged in this way as well. This is definitely not my favorite way for the cleanser to be packaged, but it's fine. It's easy enough to get some out.

I'm about halfway through the jar now because you need so little product to get the job done. It really does a great job of removing makeup and cleansing the skin. The cleanser is pretty basic but that's what I like in a cleanser. It's also why I love my DermOrganic Cleanser. You shouldn't expect your cleanser to do a million things for you, it should just be cleansing your skin to prepare it for your skin care products and that's what it does. 

I definitely like the Double Cleanse and will definitely continue to use it. I may even repurchase in the future, but I have a couple of the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup Cleansing Balms to get through first. They work in essentially the same way and I love them both.

You can find the Double Cleanse on Pixi's Website.

I would say a lot of us are MultiMisting without thinking about it. Many of us use different sprays before or during the makeup application and then set our makeup with another spray, and that is MultiMisting. 

On a normal day, I'll use the Hydrating Milky Mist before applying my makeup and the Glow Mist after I apply my powder products. I've used the Makeup Fixing Mist to set a few times; I've been alternating it with my UD All nighter. I'm pretty obsessed with the Hydrating Milky Mist and the Glow Mist. I've went through half a bottle of the Glow Mist already. They've become staples in my routine. The other two I've been alternating and testing, but I do like them too.

MultiMisting is a pretty common thing to do and it can really make a difference in your makeup application. It's a great way to make sure you target all of your skins' needs. 

You can find the mists I mentioned on Pixi's website!

Let me know if you MultiMist and what your favorite products are!

I'll have my updated skincare routine up soon.

(Swatches from left to right, top to bottom:

Blush, highlight, blush&highlight combined, gloss, glow booster)

My favorite part of the kit is definitely the Glow Booster and they NEED to make this in a full size & permanent. I'm obsessed and I will be sad when I run out. Seriously. Do it. I'm making it my mission to find a cruelty free dupe but if they could just make this one permanent, that would be great.

The highlight part of the duo is very similar to the Glow-y Powder in Santorini Sunset.

This kit is definitely a stunner & could possibly be exactly what you need to transition into Spring. You can find it on Pixi's website.

What's your favorite spring makeup product?

Let's talk about the palettes first.

Strobe & Sculpt Palette has three "strobe" shades and three "sculpt" shades.  This palette was a little scary for me because it's a little dark. The contour shades are pigmented but they aren't too pigmented, so I can definitely make it work. The yellow highlight shade is definitely too yellow for me, but for someone with a darker skin tone, it would be perfect. The other highlight colors are definitely darker and would work for someone with a medium-tan or deeper skin tone. The middle strobe shade would make the most gorgeous copper/peachy blush if you like super shimmery blush. They all blend well and the three contour shades have different undertones, so there's probably something that works for everyone. If you're super pale like me, you could skip this one, though, since none of the highlight shades will work for you.

Strobe & Bronze Palette has three "strobe" shades and three "bronze" shades. This palette has the same formula as the other, super blendable and easy to use. The bronze shades vary in tone and the highlight or strobe shades are all different as well. This palette will work for a wider range of skin tones than the last, because both the bronze shades and the strobe shades will work for a wide range of skin tones. I can get away with using the middle strobe shade in this palette and the 3rd strobe shade if I use a light hand. These can be a bit glittery and show texture if you build them up, which I don't care for. On some skin types, it's gorgeous, I just don't like it on myself because I have texture that shows. I prefer the highlight powders from the Aspyn Ovard collab as the formula is better for my skin type in my honest opinion. 

Strobe & Sculpt Brush this brush is super soft and great for highlighting. I've used it with these palettes and with other products and I've really enjoyed it so far. I've washed it once and it washed well with no shedding or any other funny business. I definitely like the brush.

So, here's the summary of my thoughts. The Pixi X Maryam Maquillage Collab is cute. The palettes are nice and the formula is good. The palettes are perfect for girls with a medium and darker skin tone, but the Strobe & Bronze palette can work for us pale girls. I can't recommend the Strobe & Sculpt palette for the pale girls since you'll only be able to use less than half of the palette. The brush is nice and I totally recommend it.

Have you tried these palettes? What are your thoughts?

The formula is awesome, it's so buttery and smooth; it blends into the skin flawlessly. It is not the least bit powdery on the skin, and it can be applied sheerly or built up but it never looks glittery or shimmery, it always has that metallic, almost wet-look. 

The Eye Accents Kit has a Lower Lash Mascara and Brow Tamer.

The Lower Lash Mascara has been my go-to lately because it's seriously awesome. It separates and lengthens your lower lashes without making them look crazy or clumpy. It doesn't smudge or flake and it lasts all day. I've really been enjoying it so far. I'll definitely be purchasing another tube when it runs out.

The Brow Tamer is a clear brow gel that does a nice job of keeping my brows in place. I usually wear tinted brow mascara because I'm too lazy to do my brows most days, but I do like this for the days when I bother to fill them in. It's not as bulletproof as the ABH Clear Brow Gel but honestly, what is other than superglue?

Overall, this is a collab that truly nailed it. I'm always wary of collaborations because they just seem to go wrong, but I'm really enjoying all of these products. I'll be reviewing the other collabs over the next couple of weeks. This is by far my favorite, so I wanted to share it first!

Have you tried any of the Pixi Beauty Spring launches?
