PIXI SUCCULENT LIP TWIN
I bought the lip succulent in Poppy on clearance for $9. 99 and I love the poppy-red color from the rounded balm end. It's a beautiful shade of red that simply brightens my face, even worn solo. I love the brightening effect of a lot of Pixi's makeup line. I love this in combo with a gold eyeshadow (I use the gold shade from the Wakeup-Makeup palette), black eyeliner on the upper waterline only, 2 coats of thick, black mascara, bronzer, and a flush of poppy blush on the cheeks. Beautiful summer look. The color is the tube is sheerer and very buttery. This is a good, casual, red for my fair skin. The top, domed, part is supposed to be a more concentrated lip and cheek stain. And, the botton tube is a sheer lip gloss. My face flushes very easily so I don't need to add extra (red) color unless, maybe, I'm wearing a full coverage foundation. But, I did try it out for the sake of this review and it's actually quite beautiful. Once you blend it in it's a very faint, natural, looking color, though a little Snow White-ish on my fair skin. That alone makes me want to get another shade that would suit my coloring better But, they're so expensive and have a limited amount of shades, I don't think the others would work for me as well as this red. It wears well on the lips. A very simple, sheer, red. I find the gloss to leave a bit of a stain also, which is great. Applied lightly it turns my naturally pink lips a "naturally" red shade. The domed stain on the top gives off more color. I wore it with a black and white dress, kept applying all day long (I like to always feel something on my lips) and it looked the same as the first time I applied it. The packaging is super cute. Both caps screw on, so you have to hold the other cap in place while opening the one you want. Not a big deal to me, because I like having the security of a screw cap. The gloss doesn't have an applicator tip at all, just a flat top with a hole in the center. I don't carry brushes with me in my purse, which means I have to apply this, red, gloss with my finger. That sucks. Having to rub it into your hands like a lotion because you don't feel like finding a bathroom every time you apply this stuff. It does have a slight chemical scent. Reminds me of the scent of sunblock. I don't smell it once I'm wearing it. I may try out the purple/mauve shade in the store. It would have to be a fantastic color for me to want to spend $18 on another one of these. I do like this red one a lot but it can be a hassle. I think this is a gem product. You can't blame a shade for looking bad on your skin tone, because that happens. Target has testers to use before buying any Pixi product. I chose the shade Poppy Love, a beautiful red with some pink and orange to it. It's so beautiful. The packaging cap scews off, it doesn't snap off, so it won't come open in a purse. The balm/gloss section of the Lip Twin is basically for a lip brush or your finger. I don't mind because I wash my hands often. You only need a teeny tiny amount because it melts and becomes super glossy on your lips. This is because the formula is rich and feels like a butter while on. Pixi puts a lot of thought and effort into their line, and I'm impressed with everything I've bought so far. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 4 people said helpful

A Cheap Mess
If I could give a zero I would. This lip tint smells like rancid lipstick that his been in your grandmother's drawer for 50 years and it makes a horrible mess because the lid has a lot of trouble screwing it on and off. The lip color winds up on the lid, on your fingers, and all over your face. I would not recommend it to anyone. It was cheap all around. — 5 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
