petrapersonally — Master Class

A new nail colour is always the perfect pick-me-up on a dull day, and these 3 new stunning colours are really a must this fall! This season I am in LOVE with jewel tones - they are so flattering as makeup, nail colour, jewelry (go figure...) and, of course, fashion! From our Pixi Fall 2012 lineup, the cocoa is my personal favorite for a nice pedi. The amethyst is irresistible and looks so vibrant, but isn't an "in your face" kind of colour. Green is always in my top picks and I love how this one looks like emera Find...

It gives a beautiful semi-matte finish that controls oil while keeping skin hydrated. I've used this on all types of skin, and I can say that it works beautifully on dry, oily, and combination!   Use...

It was a Pixi perfect day at our Pixi Boutique! We enjoyed spending the day with Weylie & some of the loyal lovelies that have followed her (and Pixi!) throughout the years! Weylie had some girl talk with all of them, which was fun and filled with wisdom. Highlight of the day was when Weylie sat down with the girls and had a more personal Q&A. Weylie talked about how she finds balance within her own life, how she has become more confident over the years (both on & off YouTube), as well as how she enjoys using the Dimensional...

Maryam has been a Pixi fan for a long time and is a dear family friend.  As I have followed her career,  it has been amazing to see her grow in these past years. She turned her early passion for makeup into a career as a beauty blogger, and is a true inspiration for all women to follow their dreams! We created two great palettes and an amazing duo brush, the Strobe & Bronze Palette, Strobe & Glow Palette and Strobe & Sculpt Brush. Maryam hand-mixed each colours with her fans in mind.

Last month, we had an amazing day with Dulce Candy and a few special lovelies at our Pixi Boutique! Dulce spent quality time with each of our V.I.P’s (Very Important Pixi’s), talking about everything from life, to relationships & their favourite Dulce videos!   Dulce also hosted a mini masterclass! She taught her new friends how they can instantly add a glow to their look in five minutes (or less!), using the two new palettes we created together! Some of my favourite tips that Dulce shared are… Spritzing Makeup Fixing Mist on your brush before adding colour (for added, super-long...

When I first began formulating our newest facial oil, Jasmine Oil Blend, I had a few things in mind. First, I knew I wanted to create an oil that was revitalising to the skin, but completely weightless too. The other reasons I love this favourite? It is soothing and ultra nourishing, easy to mix into your existing routine, and of course, I’m obsessed with Jasmine flowers and their magical scent! I am so excited to share all of the amazing benefits of both of our facial oils, as well as how you can use them together! The Difference Between Rose...

Beautiful brows begin with the right tools! Here at Pixi, we have created some easy-to use products to really simplify brow-perfection. We all love a fuss-free brow application. With Natural Brow Duo, you can complete your brows with ease. One end of this multi-purpose favourite houses an angled, waterproof brow pencil while the other end contains a tinted soft-hold gel for holding unruly brows in place. My tip? If you fancy a natural look, use short, sweeping-like strokes to fill in sparse brow-areas. Or, if you desire darker brows, brush in a zig-zag motion to reveal more colour. Get brows...

Almost every day, we get the question "What is the perfect skincare regimen?" Because everyone's skin type is unique, there's not one single answer to cover all our lovelies' needs. However, if there's one thing you should remember, your skincare routine should consist of at least these three steps: Cleansing, Toning, and Moisturising! And of course, if you’re planning on being outside at all you should always protect your skin with sunscreen. Check out the video below to see our top picks for Pixi Perfect skin this summer. And there you have it. A super easy Daytime skincare routine to get...

We’re in wedding season, and one of the most common questions I receive is how brides can prep their skin in the months leading up to the big day! Besides that extra glow from a few sips of champagne, the key to the wedding-perfect look is great skin. The ultimate Pixi Glow is achievable with a consistent Glycolic Acid skincare routine, and I suggest starting this regimen at least three months before the wedding day. Glycolic Acid gently dissolves dead skin cells to reveal a new healthy glow, no matter what your skin type. You want to look the like...
