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.♥

Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm in Rosy Red

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
Exclusively available in www.glamourbox.ph and select Snoe Beauty Inc. boutiques

Pixi was first launched through Glamourbox last year, when they featured the Magic Tink Tint (inspired by Tinkerbell). Were you able to try it?

    1. You're sooo lucky to have gotten hold of the Magic Tink Tint, Rhain! Limited edition yan eh, and I'm a sucker for color changing lippies.

      I love that their balms really soothe the lips while still giving it a pretty hint of tint. :)
