Pixi Glow Catching Shadows Crayon Swatches and Review
Wednesday, May 23, 2012
Pixi Beauty collaborated with Disney to launch a unique collection called PixiGlow, inspired by Disney's most iconic fairy, Tinker Bell. I already did a review of the eye, lip and face palette called Pixi Glow Fairy Face Palette. This time, the focus is on PixiGlow Catching Shadows Crayon in Beaming Reflection. It's exactly what it's called, a shadow crayon, and it's a cream-to-powder formula, meaning it glides like a cream but dries like powder shadow. It has light-reflecting particles that are so pretty, and it gives a shimmery effect that is not over-the-top.
It is pretty on its own, but I mostly use this as an eye shadow primer. You know how sometimes your eye shadow base works well but is not tacky enough (Think UD primer potion)? Sometimes the lack of tackiness makes the eye shadows not adhere well on the skin. The Catching Shadows Crayon in Beaming Reflection gives a very pretty shimmery base that is very subtle. I use it over my main eye shadow primer, and it makes the shadows adhere better on the lids. Over a powder shadow, the radiance still shines through without being too shimmery. This makes my shadows last the entire day without creasing or fading. I also love the shimmery beige tone, it is ageless and can be worn pretty much by everybody no matter what age or skintone.
I am really a fan of this product and has become my favorite tacky eye shadow base of late. It is a no-transfoer, waterproof and line-smoothing product, free of parabens, fragrance, triclosan, sulfates and phthalates. The PixiGlow Catching Shadows Crayon is available exclusively at Target.
