Summer is almost, officially here and what better way to see it in the hotter months than with a range of gorgeously bright shades from makeup faves, Pixi! It's this time of year I really make the most of those hot pink and orange shades so with some latest launches and their much-loved cheek gels, Pixi have been the brand of choice.
I've had one of the Pixi Cheek Gels in my makeup bag since last year so with another three to add to the collection plus their newest product, GelTint & SilkGloss, I've had plenty to play around with. I find tints easier to use during the summer months as my skin is less dry and with the sweat risk, they last a lot longer than my favourite cream or powder products when the temperature is pushing the late twenties.
The GelTint & SilkGloss sticks (£14) come in three different shades meaning you can achieve a pretty lip in two simple steps. Each stick comes with a tinted lip shade and a silky gloss which gives a gorgeous shine to lips. I'm not usually a gloss lover but this was nowhere near as sticky as some I've tried in the past and it helped keep lips nourished. Tints can sometimes be drying but that extra gloss step makes such a difference. Beach Tint is my favourite of the bunch with its rich wine red and orange tint, it just screams beach holiday to me.
The Sheer Cheek Gels (£14) are an old favourite and also come in three different shades. Rosy is what I've had for a while now so a second tube plus Flushed and Natural are welcome additions. The gels leave a natural-looking and long-lasting flush on cheeks which helps brighten skin and add a perfect pop of blush. As I said previously, I love these for during the warmer months as they last, they're not sticky and they blend well which is something I've struggled with, with previous tints in the past. You can also use these on your lips too!
Tints have definitely been my go-to in the warmer months the last few years and Pixi has some of the best tints on the market. Check them out online or in your nearest M&S Beauty Hall.
