I’ve always had a lot of love for Pixi products, but never fell in love with one as quickly as I did with this one.
You probably already saw me declare my love for Pixi Glowtion Day Dew* on my Instagram. The minute I put this stuff on my face, I fell in love. One of my favorite skincare/makeup products is MAC’s Strobe Cream- not only does it leave my skin glowing, it actually has pretty good ingredients and works great as a moisturizer. Glowtion Day Dew is a very similar product.
“Advanced illuminating skin-perfector nourishes & soothes while giving a boost to dull skin. Featherlight and hydrating, this moisturizer imparts a natural-looking radiance to skintone, making it look healthier & more even. Lavender oil calms, kaolin purifies, and mica brightens.”
What I like:
– first thing that I have to mention is the packaging. I love that it comes in a tube and the fact that it has a pump is a bonus. You know that I’m not too big on jar packaging when it comes to skincare- active ingredients don’t stay stable when you constantly open and close the jar and expose the product to the environment and air- this is why the fact that this comes in a tube is a HUGE plus for me.
-it’s hydrating
-non-irritating and soothing
-it adds a nice glow without looking greasy and it makes your skin look gorgeous and healthy
-it blurs small skin imperfections, which makes it work great as a primer
-smoothes the skin and looks beautiful under foundation
What I don’t like:
-I wouldn’t use this under foundation when in direct sunlight- unless you don’t mind looking a little sparkly.
It’s been a while since I’ve tried a skincare/priming product and fell in love with it as quickly as I did with the Glowtion Day Dew. I love that it feels so comfortable on my skin, love how glowing and healthy it looks every time I use it. I’m not sure yet if I love it just as much as my beloved Strobe Cream, but it’s definitely a keeper and I’ve been using it everyday for the past week- even when not wearing makeup.
Have you tried any Skintreats from Pixi? If so, which is your favorite?

February 6, 2016 at 11:10 amI’ve had the strobe cream in the past and I think this option looks a little bit more natural, so I am loving the glow it gives off. I like the fact that it’s hydrating too always a plus for me :) x

February 14, 2016 at 12:22 pmThis actually has a bit more shimmer than Strobe Cream, when in direct sunlight.

February 6, 2016 at 1:27 pmThis really does sound lovely, although having oily skin I’m always hesitant of anything dewy as I never want to be mistaken for being excessively oily when I’m not. I’ve never tried Pixi either but it is a brand I’m seeing far more frequently! x

February 14, 2016 at 12:26 pmThis works great under a mattifying foundation. It’s hydrating but doesn’t feel greasy at all.

February 6, 2016 at 6:30 pmThis does sound really gorgeous, although as I have oily skin I’d be a little bit nervous about trying it! It’s lovely to hear that it blurs imperfections as well :)

February 6, 2016 at 6:38 pmI haven’t tried anything from pixi actually but this sounds really good. I think I’d love this in the winter time when my skin is extra dull, and I love that it blurs imperfections.

February 7, 2016 at 12:40 amThis looks absolutely lovely, I have been meaning to try Mac Strobe cream but haven’t got a chance to get my hands on it. And now I’m intrigued by this one too.
Can you like do a comparison swatch of this and the mac strobe cream I would love to see that.

February 14, 2016 at 12:46 pmThis one has a bit more glittery look when hit by direct sunlight. I’m working on a post on some of my favorite glow-giving products I’ll make sure to add comparison swatches of those two!

February 7, 2016 at 8:46 amI tried the MAC Strobe Cream and that one made me TOO glowy, so I don’t know, if the Pixie Glowtion Day Dew is similar to that one it may not be for me.
Paula @ lifestylegleam.com
February 14, 2016 at 12:46 pmDid you try mixing the Strobe Cream with a regular moisturizer? it worked for me ; )

February 7, 2016 at 8:48 amThis looks so pretty, lately I’ve really been into that glowy dewy look. I need to give this and the contour powder a try. My local Target never have all their Pixi products in stock though.
