Pixi Love











I picked this up at Target a while back, and I have to say, I am loving this set! Usually, when I buy a palette, I'm attracted to a couple of the colors, and I figure I will end up loving the rest, but never do. I like this brand, PIXI for the eyeshadows. they are great quality, with excellent payoff and staying power. this kit, called Stockholm, was the one that favored my coloring the best. the top level has 4 shadows: a deep amethyst, pearly mauve, a golden nude and an almost matte bone color. All are great!
the second level has a cream blush in a rosey mauve, and a powder shadow in a coral mauve.
I didn't think these wold impress me as much as they have... the cream blush is everything I wanted the NARS multiples to be. I have even used it on my lips and eyes for a monochomatic face, and it rocks! the lowest level contains two lip colors. One is a sheer deep orchid-burgundy, and the other sort of reminds me of NARS Orgasm for some reason. It has that shimmery profile to it. On the lips these two colors are very light and natural, but have really great staying power. I have even blended them together, and it came out like a nice rosy color.
the big bonus to this? It is mineral makeup, which works well on my sensitive skin.
Got a phone call this morning from the Dentist......when I was there a couple of weeks ago, I told him about a tooth that has been sort of sensitive lately. he took x-rays and said if there was a cavity between the teeth he would call in a couple of days. No call ever came.....until today.
the receptionist at his office called and said I was approved by the insurance company to go ahead with my CROWN.(duh-- duh --dah....) Oh jeeze. I thanked her and told her "thank you for ruining my day" to which she laughed. So now I have to go to the dentist on saturday morning......
