Pixi by Petra Lip, Lid and Cheek Swatches, Photos & Review
Pixi is a brand I am not completely familiar with, but am getting to know slowly. We are kind of in the first stages of our relationship.
After having checked out a few more Pixi products recently, I get the feeling it’s going to be a long-term thing. The kind where it’s not just nice packaging on the outside, but also quality, long-lasting stuff on the inside. 
Craving Coral, Energy, Mocha Mauve, BlackNoir, Natural
Tinted Lip Brilliance in Craving Coral

Tinted Brilliance Balms come in seven shades currently. They are a lip stain with shea butter (for moisture) and hyaluronic acid (for lip-plumping). They come in a fat pencil and have a nice shiny finish. These balms also work with your lips’ pH level, so they will look different on everyone. No need to sharpen them either, they come in a twist-up style.
Lip Blush in Energy
Lip Blush in Energy
Lip Blushes come in six shades and they are a light water stain for the lips. They look like a felt marker pen, and give you a sheer, matte coverage that’s somewhat buildable. Compared to the Revlon markers I tried awhile ago, I much prefer this one. I got much more even coverage and no bleeding. They last 3-8 hours when applied to clean, grease-free lips. The pen should last for about 100-150 uses if you keep the lid on tight.
Lid Last Shadow Pen in Mocha Mauve
Lid Last Shadow Pens come in seven shades and they are a fat creamy eyeshadow crayon. They apply like a cream but then dry into more of a powder texture. They contain vitamin E and light reflecting pigments.
Endless Silky Eye Pen in BlackNoir
Endless Silky Eye Pens come in eight shades. The one I got for review purposes is smaller than the standard size, so keep that in mind. These liners are long-wearing and waterproof.
Sheer Cheek Gel in Natural
Sheer Cheek Gels come in five shades. These cheek stains are meant to give you a natural flush of color, looking like it came from within. They’re translucent, long-lasting, oil-free and contain aloe vera. This is Pixi’s best-selling product since 1998!
Craving Coral, Energy, Mocha Mauve, BlackNoir, Natural
Craving Coral is a gorgeous pink/coral shade. I think perhaps of all the recent lip stains I have tried this is my all-time favorite one. Why? Because it’s incredibly smooth and moisturizing. It doesn’t dry out or feel strange on my lips. Also, it has a very slight minty taste/scent, which isn’t overpowering at all. Kind of like OCC’s Lip Tars, but MUCH more subtle. I absolutely adore this color one me, it’s perfection in a stick. Literally!
Energy is a bright coral. It felt less drying than the Revlon ones. It did bleed on my hand swatch but that’s because I had previously used a makeup wipe under it. No lip bleeding at all.
Mocha Mauve is a pink/taupe shimmer shade. A nice neutral and easy to just apply straight from the crayon onto lids, then blend with your finger. They do set somewhat fast so blend quickly!
BlackNoir is a super dark inky black. Very easy to apply but they do set fast. Great for the waterline because it lasts much longer than most liners, at least for me.
Natural is a medium pink shade, great for a wide variety of skin tones. It’s really easy to apply with your fingers and doesn’t feel sticky at all. It gives you a really nice flush and is somewhat buildable as well.
Overall: I am really liking everything I tried, but especially the Tinted Balm, Lip Blush and Silky Eye Pen. Great stuff, but a little on the pricey side.
Availability: Target, Zappos, Pixi.
Pricing: Tinted Brilliance Balm ($16 for 0.10 oz), Lip Blush ($18 for 0.08 oz), Lid Last Shadow Pen ($18 for 0.16 oz), Endless Silky Eye Pen ($15 for full-size liner), Sheer Cheek Gel ($18 for 0.4 oz).

Do you like this product?
Pixi always interests me, but I feel weird buying sephora priced makeup at target. XD

Agreed. Everything looks gorgeous but I was definitely surprised by the price. For some reason I just imagined Pixi as a lower cost brand like Wet n Wild. :p

i love Tinted Lip Brilliance in Craving Coral!
I’ve had my eye on the Tinted Lip Brilliance but havent seen much on wear time, etc. How do they compare to Tarte Lipsurgence?

The lip blush in Energy is gorgeous! I had never tried Pixi until recently, because I’d only seen it sold at Target and it was so expensive compared to other Target brands. But, I got a shadow pencil in my last Birchbox that’s really nice, and I’m definitely giving them them another thought.

Pixi is a brand I’m really curious about and my local Target carries it but for whatever reason the Pixi section is always just demolished. It’s so gross. Even the items still in boxes are all pawed through. It doesn’t seem like any of the other brands in the beauty section have that problem, so I’m not sure what the issue is. I know it’s not fair to Pixi, but it does sort of turn me off the brand a bit.

I tried a Pixi eyeshadow palette a few years back and recently threw it out because I never used it – poor pigmentation. That has made me hesitant to try other items, especially considering their price. The items above do look nice though!

Craving Coral is beautiful! I can’t seem to get myself to spend those kinds of prices at Target though. When I’m there I go for the drugstore priced items.

That lip blush looks great on you!
Craving Coral is my favorite! Also kind of interested in the eyeliner because I have a hard time getting liners to stay on the waterline. Would also be interested in checking out the shadow & blush. I’m surprised that I am so piqued because I completely agree with indie above…for whatever reason, the Pixi area at my Target is just disgusting and I don’t even bother browsing there. Seeing some products out of that environment makes them much more attractive! Online may be the way to go for this brand for me!
Craving Coral looks uh-mazing!
I really like the lip blush! I’ve been really into lip stains lately.

I recently got that mini black eyeliner in a Pixi kit and oh my gosh, it’s the only eyeliner I’ve ever used that Bioderma couldn’t remove.

I love my Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm, it is the first (and currently only) item I got from Pixi. I am seriously interested in the BlackNoir eyeliner–it looks amazing.

I always look but turned off by the high price. If target offered some coupons every once in a while…

I have a few Pixi items but they don’t really get used. I should pull them out though. I like the look of several of these. But I also am hesitant to spend the money on these at Target. It’s weird to feel that way since I’d spend it at Sephora.

WOW. The color payoff of the eyeliner is amazing. Love how matte it is. Also, Craving Coral looks awesome on you!
