Review: Pixy's Gentle & Moist Cleansing Lotion

Hello there,
Recently, I noticed that there was a big hoo ha going on in the local beauty community regarding Pixy's Gentle & Moist Cleansing Lotion. Curious, I decided to pick it up and try for myself.

There are 2 sizes available which are 50ml at RM7.00++ and 100ml at RM13.00++. Since Watsons were all out of the former, I took a leap of faith and got the 100ml bottle.

This product claims to be alcohol-free and contains honey for moisturising the skin. It combines makeup removal as well as toning action and is 100% water-based formula.

I'll be honest, I didn't expect much from this product initially. However, after using it for the past week I have fallen absolutely and utterly in love with it. Here's why:

01. It removes my makeup completely, even my utterly stubborn waterproof mascara.

02. I don't need to use a lot of force to remove my makeup. Gentle motions are enough to do so. No more pulling and tugging at my poor skin!

03. It doesn't sting my eyes at all nor did it irritate my skin.

04. It doesn't leave an icky sticky residue. My skin feels soft and refreshed as well as moisturised.

05. It doesn't contain alcohol and contains honey which is oh-so-good for our skin.

06. Since it's water-based, it doesnt leave oil spots where I use it to correct my makeup mistakes.

07. It's affordable, need I say more?

Here is a demo of the product through photos:

Super heavy makeup for experiment purposes.

One swipe...

.. and it's 90% gone! 

To remove face makeup you will need to go over your face a couple of times especially if you used heavy face makeup but that's pretty standard. This lotion cleanser has certainly become my utter bestie during owl shift at work. It's easy to use and I don't need to leave the counter to go and wash my face. I definitely recommend this product to everyone. Go out and get it ASAP! (^-^)

Love,
Phy

Belated Makeup Monday: The Body Shop Shimmer Waves (Blush) Review

Another belated post. So sorry! I've been super tired the past week and exhaustion has been plaguing me until today. I just don't understand it. I'm determined to do a Makeup Monday post belated as it is.

So this post is going to be a review on The Body Shop's Shimmer Waves in 02 Blush. I had purchased this item last year but never really got around to really try it out. You see, prior to my makeup switch ups I have been the type to only use the things that I love.

The only time I'd use other products is at random, fall in love with them (or not) then start using those products instead. Now that I've had the chance to try this blush I am in love! Here's why:

I can run my blusher brush through the top part for a more prominent blush color or mix it all up for a more more subtle hue.




Each 'wave' can be used individually as an eyeshadow. Beautiful colors by the way.




The last portion at the bottom part makes a gorgeous highlighter.




It's a generous size.


The price of this baby of mine is either RM79.00 or RM89.00. I'm not absolutely sure because it's been a while but I'm kind of positive that it's the former.

I know it's a bit pricey but I personally think that's it's worth the investment because you're getting  at least 3 products in one. It saves space in your makeup bag too and very appropriate for those who love a natural look as the colors are soft. It's generous size ensures a high mileage or usage over cost.

I hope this is informative and helps you in making your makeup purchases. Until the next post, cheers!


Love,

Phy
