Pixi Beauty is a brand that I've adored for a while, it made a quick appearance in Canada when Target was introduced here, but was just as quickly taken away from us when the Target's were all shut down. Fortunately, and finally, Pixi has been re-introduced to us Canadians and is available at select Shoppers Drug Marts. There is word that the displays are popping up in greater Toronto area Shoppers Drug Mart locations (wohoo!). I do have some products that I'm excited to share with you, and seeing it readily available in Canada makes me so happy!
I know I've talked about them before, but for a refresher, Pixi Beauty was created by Petra Strand, experienced makeup artist and product developer. The brand originates from London and focuses on pure skin-loving products infused with botanicals and good ingredients.
Pixi officially has a product list of 5 different mists in their collection. I have 2 of them here to share with you!
The mists consist of 80ml of product and retail for $15 USD (I am not positive of the Canadian price at the moment) but they seem to be affordably drugstore priced. Both of the mists can be used either in the AM or PM, it's to your liking!

The Glow Mist is infused with Propolis & Argan Oil and is designed for a radiant glowy effect. It is enriched with 13 other natural oils. It claims to be able to set makeup, add a dewy finish, and refresh makeup. The bottle says it can be used before makeup, after makeup, or throughout the day. After testing it out, I do see the hydrating and luminous effects and it works great for dry winter months. I don't see it prolonging my makeup wear because it is enriched with so many good oils. So I prefer to use this on light makeup days where I don't have to worry about my makeup lasting or not.
The Makeup Fixing Mist has become a holy grail for me! It is infused with Rose Water & Green Tea and designed to set, extend or refresh makeup while protecting and balancing the skin. It has a light rose scent which isn't overpowering at all. The bottle also says it can be used before and after makeup, or throughout the day. I love to use this before makeup instead of a primer. It's obviously not super hardcore primer replacement, but it is so easy to just mist over the face and apply makeup. It is such a plus that there are so many beneficial ingredients! I think that's the main reason why this has become my holy grail: I don't feel bad about misting it all over my face. It holds my makeup throughout the day as far as I can tell, and I think it is perfect as an everyday essential.
Overall, pretty impressed with the Pixi Facial Mists I got to try out. I would 100% purchase the Makeup Fixing Mist when I finish this one, not sure about the Glow Mist but I will be continuing to use them both!
