Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm in Rosy Red

My sisters love digging into my makeup kit and asking for my stuff (just because they think I have too much). I don't really think I have too much makeup, I just need a bigger makeup kit or a baby traincase! It's funny since whenever I give something away (like for example, a red lipstick), a new one will find its way into my kit, all the time! Just like this one! :D

My recent favorite red lippie would have to be the Tinted Brilliance Balm from Pixi. I've actually just been acquainted to the brand early this year, but I find myself falling for it since it has cute, whimsical packaging (oh, everyone loves that!) and skin-friendly formulations.

Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm in Rosy Red

This balm provides hydration, sheer colour & lip stain. With shea butter & lip plumping hyaluronic acid, it will keep your lips in optimum condition.

Lippies are actually my favorite kind of makeup, but I am wary of cheap and harsh formulations that could potentially darken my lips. With this one from Pixi, I can be sure that my lips are well taken care of!

Ingredients:

While this one's marketed as a tinted balm, I say the pigmentation can pass for a lipstick!

My shade is in No.7 Rosy Red, which is a cherry red with hints of pink in it.

It comes in a retractable pen-type packaging. No sharpening required!

The Rosy Red shade is just so gorgeous.♥

When worn

This one has a melty, balmy texture that's softer than Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain. Pixi's way more moisturizing, too! My lips feel so hydrated whenever I wear this. It really just feels like a lip balm, only it's super pigmented! I'm liking the cherry red shade of this lippie, as it has the magic ability to make me feel like Snow White every time I wear it. (Kidding! Sort of.) :D

Pros:

• Cute and convenient packaging
• Skin-friendly formula (no lip darkening, whatsoever)
• Very pigmented (feels like a lip balm, but wears like a lipstick)
• Moisturizing (no chapping even when worn the entire day)
• Leaves lips feeling softer (even if you've removed your makeup at the end of the day)
• Leaves a stain as it wears off
• Available in 6 pretty shades

Cons:

• Because of its balmy texture, it wears off as you eat or drink
• Expensive

Price: P790.00
