I’m making an effort to find more amazing drugstore cosmetics that I love this year! I have a few tried and true products that I’ve mentioned over the years, but with new makeup/beauty releases coming almost every few weeks, there’s always something new to try!
Pixi is a brand sold at Target ( so not technically a drugstore but close enough! ) that I’ve been pretty darn pleased with lately. I love the eyebrow pencils as eyeliner, and their bottom lash mascara makes my lower lashes look incredible!
I recently received a press kit of a handful of new launches with Pixi so I picked out some of the most enticing things and did my makeup with them the other day! Most of the products impressed me, but 2 things were immediately disappointing. Let me take you through them!

The shades, in general, are much warmer than I ever go for with makeup. But I did find a few things that worked that I’m really pleased with. The happiest moment was doing my eyeshadow. Those shadows rival some of the high end shadow’s I’ve used in the past. They were pigmented, went on like a dream, and lasted all day (I did use eyelid primer (Mac Paint Pot in Soft Ochre). From the palette, I applied the very top left shade all over, third row far right on top of that, and then bottom row middle in the crease. It was a perfectly shimmery chocolate eye that I loved. It could very easily be smoked out for an even darker look, but there aren’t a lot of option...
