petrapersonally — Pixi Pretties

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...

Last month, we celebrated our latest collaboration with Dulce Candy during a delicious brunch, surrounded by close friends & family. It was a delightful afternoon with mimosas and makeup (a wonderful way to spend a Saturday if you ask me! At the table, we talked the afternoon away about the Cafe con Dulce Multi-Use Palette & Dulce’s Lip Candy Palette--the new favourites we created with Dulce, herself! Dulce and guests loved the Pixi perfect bike on display, complete with a basket filled with hydrangeas and roses (my favourites!) We chatted about the palettes and sipped on our lattes just as...

February 22, 2018 is an evening that I will never forget: we celebrated the launch of our #PixiPretties Collaboration with Dulce Candy, Chloe Morello & Weylie Hoang! It has been such a pleasure getting to work closely with each of these lovely ladies and to bring their dreams, as well as my own, to life! And of course, I am so excited to share this journey with you all! Our New #PixiPretties Favourites One of my favourite things about creating makeup and skincare is bringing out the originality in each new product.  After sitting down with the PixiPretties and hearing...

It’s been an exciting few weeks with our Pixi Pretties! This time we went to the Pixi Boutique in London to celebrate Caroline Hirons and Double Cleanse! When Caroline and I first talked about a collaboration, it was obvious that we would release a holy grail product that encouraged everyone to “Double Cleanse” – effortlessly removing makeup followed by a deep clean. We created Double Cleanse so it is speedy and fool-proof for busy women. The solid formulas of both sides make it convenient for travel! Side 1 contains a cleansing oil that melts away waterproof makeup and sunscreen. Gently massage into skin...

Last week, we spent the day with Judy at the Pixi boutique in Venice, CA celebrating the success of the Pixi + ItsJudyTime collection! We started the day with an intimate meet-and-greet with Judy’s biggest fans. These lovelies spent quality time bonding with Judy over their favourite vlogs moments with Benji, the twins and Julianna Bear! A little later in the afternoon, some of Judy’s closest friends continued celebrating the success of her ItsEyeTime and ItsLipTime palettes. We mingled over tray-passed hors d’oeuvres and bubbly drinks inspired by Judy’s special shade names!     ItsEyeTime remains an everyday palette in...

We spent a sunny day in Los Angeles celebrating one of our Pixi Pretties, Aspyn Ovard! We have been so excited to see lovelies glowing with our Pixi + Aspyn Ovard Glow-y Powders and enhancing their natural eye looks with the Eye Accents Kit, which contain Aspyn’s Pixi eye favorites! Guests were greeted with this showstopping floral arrangement that sat atop all things glow – Aspyn’s Glow-y Powders, Glow Tonic, Glow Mist, Glow O2 Mask, and more! The celebration was themed around travel, one of Aspyn’s passions! Glow-y Powders were named by Aspyn after her favourite travel destinations. Rome Rose, a blush...

Caroline Hirons has been a dear friend of mine for years. When we first talked about doing a collaboration, it was obvious that we would release a product that encourages everyone to “Double Cleanse.” Though it may sound like a lot of work, Caroline and I wanted to make sure that Double Cleanse was speedy and fool-proof for busy women. The solid formulas of both sides make it convenient for travel, with no leakage! I love the Double Cleanse because it is suitable for all skin types. It contains no mineral oil, fragrance or shea butter, and as a plus, it...

It’s still hard to believe that our Pixi Pretties collection was released only a month ago! Judy, Aspyn, Caroline, Maryam and I worked hard to make sure every detail was perfect. We hand-mixed colours for perfect pigment payoff, ensuring our products are nothing short of amazing for all of our fans. We’re so excited you all love everything! For the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing the inspiring stories behind each of our Pixi Pretties. Today, I wanted to talk more about how exciting it was to finally work with Judy of ItsJudyTime on not one, but TWO palettes! Judy’s...

We worked with our #PixiPretties because they have a few great things in common. They are all strong and smart women who are genuine to their fans as if they were close friends and family. For Aspyn Ovard, it’s been amazing to see her blossom on her channel and in person! Aspyn's makeup routine is simple and fuss-free, which is something we at Pixi keep in mind with every product we create. Aspyn has travelled the world, and has made it a habit to only carry a few travel-friendly essentials to make her eyes pop and of course, to achieve...

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. Maryam always had a hard time finding...

London, London, London! I moved to London at 18 from Sweden and started Pixi by opening my Boutique in my favourite part of town. The beginning of Pixi probably started when I was 10 years old and was forcing ALL family members to let me put makeup on them (Yes! That’s another blog!). Quite soon it was pretty obvious that my career was going to include being a makeup artist. This is when my sisters & I came up with the idea of the perfect skin prep, the now iconic Glow Tonic! London is where the  first Pixi Boutique opened...

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...

Last month, we had a Pixi perfect day in LA with one of our very own PixiPretties, Chloe Morello! After spending the morning with one of Chloe’s biggest fans, Fiona, we enjoyed an intimate dinner with our closest friends in the evening. Let’s take a look back at this fun-filled day! Fiona was an absolute delight to have at our Pixi Venice Boutique! First, she received a makeover with one of our Pixi experts, followed by a personal photoshoot! She and Chloe talked the day away about all things beauty. Chloe made it an unforgettable experience for Fiona, showing her...
