PIXI EYE BRIGHT KIT

This is my holy grail. I have used it almost every day for the past six months and I am still on my first pot. I hardly use anything for each application! The two color correctors match my pale skin tone perfectly (I purchased the #1 shade) and when I put it on it honestly looks like I have simply erased any darkness beneath my eyes. It blends perfectly and when I am finished it looks like my natu...read moreral skin. There is no indication that I have even used a concealer. It is easy enough to set with a powder and it lasts all day! My skin is fairly young and my undereye circles are not a huge issue, just something the perfectionist in me likes to take care of. For someone with deeper circles or more lines it might cause issues, but for now this is the perfect choice for me. The packaging is really cute, but I find that the amounts they give you are pretty small. In an ideal world, I would get larger amounts of the two concealers and less of the shimmery highlighter and white eye brightener product. I still have a lot of shimmer and white left, but almost no concealer left. Also, the "pie" shape of the colors means that a lot of product gets lodged into corners when you start to run out. I've had to dig the remaining product out of the corners with nail scissors. The price is steep, but since I've used it for over six months now and foresee another month left before I have to repurchase, I'd say it's worth every penny considering that I do use it almost every day! Love it love it love it! My favorite product from pixi. I'm taking off one point due to the fact that I'm not thrilled with the quadrant packaging or the exactly equal proportion of product they give you. I really love the idea of this kit (I bought no. 1 for fair skin). Two concealer shades for undereye and any other areas, a highlighter, and an eye inner corner brightener. They're all packaged together in a round container, like four slices of pie. There are just a few things I wish they would tweak: the white brightener can only be used very sparingly, so I wish they would make that slice much smaller, and give more room for concealer or highlighter. Also, the texture is just very slightly too thin for my preference--if it was just a tad creamier/heavier, then it would be easier to deal with undereye circles. The highlighter looks beautiful in the pan, but goes on with a lot of shimmer with hardly any pigment. Still, it is a nice brow/cheek highlighter. Overall, a great multi-tasker and something that I'm glad to have in my makeup bag..But I'm not done looking for something better. This little kit really offers a great roundup of eye-brightening products. You get 2 concealers, in pink and yellow tones. I find that the yellow undertone works great on the dark circle areas while the pink brightens and evens out the lid. There is a brightener in a pearl white, that goes great in the corners of the eyes and works well for other highlighting applications too. It adds glow but isn't obvious. Then there's also a highlighter, a shimmery pinkish cream. It adds a nice shimmer that isn't too sparkly or garish.

I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would

I really wanted to try Pixi products but to me they are too expensive for a drugstore product so I waited until I saw some for sale on AllCosmeticsWholesale and that is where I saw this. I got it in shade range 2. The formula is quite a thin, waxy consistency and isn't very pigmented. You can build it up to medium if you try. It is a cream concealer but I find it sticky and hard to blend. It takes...read more the warmth of your finger to really get it to sit nicely on the skin. I don't like it for dry spot because it accentuates dryness, I find. I also don't like it for blemishes because it really doesn't have enough coverage for the redness. And, unfortunately it settles into fine lines under the eyes(which is it's intended use)even when set with a powder. So, I was left disappointed all around on this one unfortunately. At least I didn't pay full price. I sometimes dot the pink corrector onto dark spots to brighten the brownish tones. Other than that I find the highlighter too glittery and sticky. Sorry, Pixi.
