The Pixi Beauty Rose Essence Collection is quite possibly one of the prettiest things I’ve ever received, from the cute little rose gold padlock to the contents inside, the entire box is so beautifully thought out and packaged.

After unlocking the padlock the box opens up and on left hand side there are some Skin Treats and the right hand side there are some Lip Treats. The My Rose Collection unlocks the beautifying benefits of Rose Hip and Rose Flower Oils, Rose Extract and Rose Water. It is said that for centuries the essence of rose has been celebrated as a powerful elixir that unlocks beauty from within, so this entire packager works to unlock that beauty.
The Skin Treats promises products for glowing skin and the two full-sized products are a Rose Caviar Essence and a Rose Flash Balm, neither of which I had used or come across until now. The Rose Caviar Essence is for all skin types and is designed to brighten, nourish and hydrate. To be used after cleansing and toning, you only need a small coin sized amount to gently press onto the skin of your face, neck and decolletage. I am a huge fan of essences and have used two others for well over a year now and they do make quite the difference, this one happens to smell just like roses and it is simply divine. Rose Caviar from Pixi uses flower oils which are encapsulated in the weightless essence serum which melt onto the skin. As it melts fresh botanicals are delivered to the skin which hydrate and restore skin’s brightness for optimum radiance. The formula also contains antioxidant rich natural oils that soften, tone and refine the skin. Priced at £26.
The Rose Flash Balm is described as being a 3-in-1 formula which works to prime, moisturise or it can be used as a hydrating mask. I am happy to use anything which promises to brighten my complexion, particularly in the colder months when my skin ca be dull and dry. It has an oil-free formula which absorbs instantly and adds instant moisture and brightens the skin. To use as a treatment primer you simply apply a thin layer to face and neck after cleansing and leave it to absorb or if you use it as a mask, which is my favourite thing to do, you simply apply a thick layer onto your skin and leave it for up to 5 minutes before rinsing off with water water. It leaves my skin feeling so hydrated, smooth and soft to the touch and again it smells just incredible. Priced at £26 for a full sized tube or there is an option to buy a miniature version for just £6.
Opposite the skincare treats are the Pixi MatteLast Liquid Lipsticks and there are five in total which, if you like neutral shades, these are definitely worth looking at because they are all stunning. Infused with rosehip oil and Vitamin E, the lipsticks apply evenly and glide onto the lips thanks to the shape and design of the Pixi Petal applicator and once they have been applied, they dry and set incredibly quickly with a Matte Veil finish but they are not uncomfortable or drying, they are incredibly hydrating and easy to wear. Again, nothing budges these lipsticks. I wore Pastel Petal on Christmas Day and it was still there late evening as I was going to bed.
The five lipstick shades are from right to left:
- Au Naturelle which is a rose toned nude
- Matte Beige which is a beige toned nude
- Pastel Petal which is a pinky beige nude
- Really Rose which is a rose brown
- Evening Rose which is a mauve brown
All of the shades are incredibly easy to wear and I have worn Au Naturelle the most of all the shades during the daytime and during an evening I have topped up with Evening Rose, both of which I just adore as shades. Each Liquid Lipstick retails for £16.
Again Pixi have managed to wow me with an abundance of products and I have absolutely loved and will continue to love using the, Are you a Pixi fan?
