Pixi Beauty’s Spring All-Over Palette

By on March 28, 2012 in Budget Beauty

Pixi Fairy Face Palette

Hey everyone! Between an internship, school, a new job, blogging and some social media endeavors, I have been the queen of blog neglecting. Oh man. : (

I had a few moments between tasks, so I had to show you this lovely piece of happiness! If you are into makeup palettes, Pixi is for you. Just look at this set above. Doesn’t it remind you of a 65 degree day?  The PixiGlow Fairy Face Palette ($35) is a complete face kit! (Have you seen the Ultimate Beauty Kit? It’s loaded with over 50 shadows, blushes and lip colors!) It’s packed with shimmery shadows and lip creams. These aren’t the most intense colors, however. If you like a lot of pigment, you’ll have to apply a few layers of product. You can find this palette exclusively at Target stores or pixibeauty.com!

Note: This product was sent to me for possible review.

Budget Beauty That Rocks: Yes To Cucumbers Soothing Hypoallergenic Facial Towelettes

By on February 20, 2012 in Budget Beauty, Reviews

Yes To Cucumbers Hypoallergenic Facial Towelettes

You know how to tell when something is really, really good?  When you get the product for free, run out of said product, then re-purchase. That’s exactly the case here. I’ve tried a bunch of makeup remover wipes. I used MAC Wipes (30 sheets/$15) for years, mainly because they were the only ones that I knew about. But they worked, and that’s what mattered. Then I found Alcone Wipes (24 individually wrapped sheets/ $11) , which are hands down the best makeup remover wipes on the planet. I cannot say enough good things about the Alcone wipes, but they are a bit too expensive for my taste.  In between all of these products, I’ve used baby wipes, which kind of get the job done.

But then, a box of Yes To Cucumbers Hypoallergenic Facial Towelettes (30 sheets/$5.99) arrived at my door with a few other things. I used them that during several photo ops, and after many long days sporting a full face of makeup. They don’t drip with makeup remover, didn’t sting or burn, and they smell divine. I’ve had a love affair with cucumber scented products forever. They even make a set conveniently for travel (10 wipes/$2.99).

The Yes to empire is more detailed then I realized. Each scent of products works with a different issue.

  • Yes to cucumbers is for soothing/sensitive skin
  • Yes to carrots is for normal to dry skin and hair
  • Yes to tomatoes is for combination/acne prone skin
  • Yes to blueberries is for age damaged/mature skin

Great stuff! I purchased my products at Target, and these products are available at over 30,000 locations worldwide!
