PIXI Beauty Eye Reflection palettes

-
A while ago, I took my chance and filled in a PR form for PIXI Beauty, even though I knew that it was a long shot. A few months had gone past with no reply and I took it as if they had rejected my request. Around mid February, I receive an email saying “your PIXI Beauty package is on the way” GIRL! I SCREAMED.




My package was described as the “Galentines” package, that would be delivered in time for valentine’s day. My package was delivered by DHL in perfect condition and I was shook when I opened it.





























They had honestly sent one of the most gorgeous PR packages ever!  International beauty babes are definitely spoilt!

In my package, I received the two new eye reflection palettes (eyeshadows) and a cute box with three eye brushes in them.


The brushes:

The eyeshadow brushes are probably some of the softest I have ever felt, I don’t think I have ever owned any that are that soft.

It included a short shader brush, a fluffy blending brush and a dense detailing brush. The brushes work really well and I have nothing bad to say about them. They pick up product very well and blend shadow like a dream.

I however, have been using the fluffy blending brush for my highlighter, because it buffs the product really well into my skin and dusts away excess glitter.


The shadows:

I was gifted two new eye reflection palettes; Natural Beauty and Reflex Light.


Natural Beauty has a very cool tone color scheme that can be used for a simple daily look, or to create a smokey and sultry soft glam look. It combines mattes, shimmers and foiled shadows that really complement each other well.

Reflex Light is an all shimmer and foiled shimmer palette. It has a few neutral shades and a few pops of color. The shimmers and foiled shades are super intense. My phone wouldn’t even pick up the shimmer in the shadows because it is so fine and smooth.

I have played around with some shadows and can say that the mattes blend very well, and the shimmers are extremely pigmented. I have used the shimmers on a dry eyeshadow brush and it applied better than some shimmers that you dampen with a setting spray. I also had no fall out with the shimmers.

The two palettes are the perfect travel size and have your essential colors that you would need when going anywhere.

Even though the packaging is plastic, it’s a hard plastic that looks sleek and is really strong.


I am extremely happy with the quality of these shadows, and have been using them loads since I received  them. The brushes are fabulous and I would 100% purchase them with my own money.


Even though the products were sent to me in PR, all opinions are my own.
Thank you to PIXI Beauty and their wonderful team for sending me such an amazing package.


I hope you babes enjoyed that quick review! I have inserted pictures in daylight and with flash so that you can see the true sparkle in these gorgeous shadows!

How to shop Pretty Little Thing from South Africa

So by now, I take it everyone knows the incredibly hyped brand, Pretty Little Thing (commonly known as PLT). We have all seen the slay queens on Instagram wearing their clothing while we scroll through our feed in bed,wearing our pyjamas, eating the party-sized bag of chips. Girl, the struggle is real.  But, you can be one of those slay queens too! Early last year I took the plunge and ordered something from them. I order something for £16 (around R290) and shipped directly to Durban from the UK. The dress was, however, on sale and the normal price was £35 (R624). So the problem that I ran into with south African customs is that they just used the marked price of the item and did not take into consideration the receipt. DHL also charged me a R150 handling fee (for absolutely nothing, basically for calling me and saying that they have my parcel) and a customs fee of over R300 (which is more than what I paid for the dress)! I was furious and decided to find another way t

How I bought from Sephora, in South Africa!

DISCLAIMER: This is the exact process I followed. Many have said that this does not work for them. Although, since I had success with it, I wished to share it with my readers.   Hi guys, So, I know all of you have been waiting for this post for weeks (ever since I posted a picture of my Sephora delivery box on my Instagram stories)! The day has finally come where I show you how I shopped Sephora, via Aramex Global Shopper, to South Africa (this is also applicable for most of the other countries that Sephora does not ship to).  In January, this year my boyfriend was in New York, so you know your girl had a make-up wish list! Before he got to America I decided to sign-up for a beauty insider account on Sephora’s website. After purchasing all my make-up, my account hit VIB Rouge. GIRL, I WANTED TO CRY. While he was there I asked him to redeem some points since I knew it might not be possible for me to redeem it in South Africa, as Sephora doesn’t
