Makeup brands collaborating with beauty youtubers has been a big trend lately…and Pixi Beauty decided to join the fun not with just one youtube collaboration…but four! Don’t feel bad if you didn’t know the youtubers before they collaborated with Pixi on these products…I was only familiar with two of the four! ๐ But anyways, were the products in the collab good? That’s what we are talking about today…plus, there is a bonus giveaway at the end! ๐
I know I am SO late to sharing my official review on the products in the Pixi collabs…but this summer was rather hectic/crazy for me! And since I set aside so many products from this collaboration to share with you guys, I still wanted to get my post up! I checked on the Target website and still see these products available, so I don’t feel too weird sharing my thoughts with you guys — definitely let me know if you already picked any of these up! I’d love to hear how you are liking the products!
Pixi Collab | Reviews & Swatches
As I already said, Pixi Beauty collaborated with four different beauty Youtubers to create a variety of products that can give you almost a whole face of makeup! The beauty guru’s Pixi collab’d with were It’sJudyTime, Maryam Maquillage, Caroline Hirons, and Aspyn Ovard. I was familiar with the first and last youtuber, but the other two were new to me!
Pixi by Petra + Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse | Price: $24
If you watched my current skincare routine that I shared back in October, you know I love to use a double cleanse method to remove my makeup at night, so when I saw this product I thought it would be my absolutely favorite from all the other products that launched in the Pixi collab. You get 3.38 oz of product, which sounds comparable to the cult-favorite one from Clinique, but keep in mind that you get a solid cleansing oil on one side and a cleansing cream on the other. So, essentially, it’s like getting half of the Clinique one…if that makes sense. ๐
To keep these reviews short and sweet…I didn’t like this Double Cleanse product at all. The solid cleansing oil (swatched on the right above) works fairly well, but I’ve definitely purchased/used better solid cleansing oils/balms in the past that I prefer more. And then the cleansing cream (swatched on the left)…ehh, I just didn’t get it. Maybe because I’m used to using a foaming cleanser after my cleansing balm, but I felt like I had to use SO much of the cleansing cream to wash my face. And because of the open jar aspect, after 2 uses the jar was a mess — I got water in both sides (because you have to dip back into the pot midway through cleansing while your hands are still wet)…and overall it was just a messy hassle. Overall, while the products aren’t horrible and do work, the way it’s packaged just makes it very hard to use and keep sanitary/clean.
Pixi by Petra + Maryam Maquillage Strobe & Chisel Palette | Price: $20
Maryam Maquillage released two different bronze/contour palettes and I decided to just open and use the Strobe and Chisel palette and save the other to give away (keep reading for more info!) Out of the 6 powders I found that I was only reaching for 2 of them — the middle contour shade and the highlighter (on the bottom). Which, when you think of the price, isn’t worth it for me. If you look at this palette and think you would use 4, 5, or even all 6 shades, I definitely think this palette is worth the purchase. But for me, personally, the blush was too shimmer, I always forgot to use the setting powder, the bottom bronzer was too dark, and I don’t like bronzer with shimmer.
Here’s a swatch of all 6 powders in the palette. As you can see, the quality is definitely there with this product and I do recommend it…if you think you’ll use most of the powders. The highlighter and blush is an extremely soft formula, but it goes on the skin very beautifully. Especially if you wet the highlighter first — so pretty! The bronzer/contour powders are incredibly pigmented, but blend out fairly easily and I enjoyed using it. Not sure how long I will keep it in my collection, since I really only reach for it for two powders, but for the time being it’s got a home with my other face palettes! ๐
Pixi by Petra + Maryam Maquillage Strobe & Sculpt Brush | Price: $14
This little brush is awesome! I, personally, don’t reach for double ended brushes, so I passed this on to a family member…but quality-wise, I can’t fault this brush. The one side worked so well for contouring and really blending out that sharp chisel and the more rounded side was actually really nice for packing on the highlighter (you can also use it to buff out bronzer, too, though it is a bit small for my preference). So, while I know I didn’t keep this in my collection, I do really like this brush and recommend it to you. Especially for the price — I think that’s really fair when considering the quality of the bristles and the fact that you get two brushes in one!
Pixi by Petra + ItsJudyTime Get the Look ItsEyeTime Palette | Price: $24
I’m always excited about a new eyeshadow palette and I was extra excited to try one from Pixi Beauty — I had no experience of their eyeshadows before this. If you guys subscribe to my Youtube channel and watched my Makeup Monthly Review for October…I feel like that pretty much sums up my thoughts on the quality of these shadows.
Above are the top two rows in this palette. The shimmers are a bit softer/creamier than I prefer for that type of shadow. It tends to almost crumble/flake off my eye if I try to pack it on too much or spritz it with Fix+. I hope that makes sense! The matte shades are very nice, maybe a tad powdery but they blend beautifully…I just wish she included a matte browbone shade.
Above are the last two rows in the palette. The very last row was mostly a miss for me — that first brown matte was nice, but the deeper one is (as I think you can tell) a bit patchy to work with and the last shade has glitter in it. No thanks. The other shades in that third row are very nice, but the shimmers aren’t as intense as I prefer.
Overall, this is a nice palette. I think I struggle the most in reviewing/recommending this palette because of the price compared to the quality of the shades. If it was $10 cheaper, I would more easily say this is worth picking up. You get a nice variety of shades and can create some really lovely looks. But at $24…they’re inches away from the price of highend palettes, so if I compare it to some of the ones I own and love…it falls a little short. I hope that makes sense and helps you decide if this palette is worth getting for you!
Pixi by Petra + Aspyn Ovard Glow-y Powder in Santorini Sunset | Price: $16
Let’s end on a high note! I only tried one of the cheek products in the Aspyn Ovard and Pixi collab, but boy was it a good one! This highlighter is SO beautiful, soft to the touch, pigmented, blends like a dream…and will give you that intense highlight that is so on trend right now!
If you want to see swatches — both a finger swipe and blended out a bit — check out my Dupe or Dud: LORAC Light Source Highlighter VS Pixi Glow-y Powder post! I was so excited when I made the connection between the two highlighters and compared them. To keep this review short and sweet — I think this is a stunning highlighter and I highly recommend you pick it up! You get a lot of product in the pan and can start rocking the blinding highlight and looking totally on point in your Instagram selfies with this product!

So I want to win this giveaway! I followed all steps I could. Insta and here. I haven’t tried pixi yet!

Iโve only tried the legendary Glow tonic and itโs fantastic!
Omg?? I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. youโre so kind hearted and amazingโค๏ธโค๏ธ
And your blog is bombbb?โค๏ธ
Pixi is one of those brands that has some great finds but you just sometimes forget about! Iโve been eyeing that Itsjudytime palette since it first came out ???
First, I would like to say that I’m always amazed by your reviews. Unlike other bloggers who constantly give impressive reviews just to impress the supplier you provide both pros and cons. You’re not afraid to express your unliking and disappointment about a certain product.
Regarding this review I must say that I should try the Glow-Y Powder Santorini Sunset but since I’m not into highlighters I prefer the Get the look Itseyetime Palette.
Thank you so much!! Good luck and happy holidays to all!!
I wouldn’t love to try the eyeshadows palettes!! Look so pretty!!
*would ???
I haven’t been able to try Pixi Beauty but I’ve heard some good things about them. I really wanna try their MatteLast lipsticks, I’m obsessed with matte lipsticks so that’s always my go to when I try a new brand. Thank you for an awesome giveaway!
I really enjoy your blog. You are so informative and give the positive and negatives which I throughly enjoy so I can tell if the product would be a good fit for me. My favorite product from Pixi is definitely the Glow Tonic. It has really helped with my acne scars and overall dullness of my oily skin. I highly recommend to others.
Although I havenโt tried any of the Pixi products I am most curious about the face palette. Iโve heard so many different reviews. Iโm curious about it now.
I haven’t tried pixi yet bc the prices are a bit high end but seeing the double clense looks incredible….love ur detailed review!!

Pixi By Petra + Caroline Hirons Double Cleanser I would love to try it sounds amazing to use
I dont had opportunity to try , but love to try eyeshadow pallette ?
Hi! I am from Finland and don’t have lot of Pixi beauty products in here so never tryed one but wound love to try all of them. Thanks for doing a giveaway and hope to win this ๐
I haven’t, but I’ve always been interested in their highlights, blushes and bronzers!
I don’t believe I have tried any Pixi products. I would love to try their glow tonic that is so famous.
I think I got an eyeshadow duo in an Ipsy bag but I canโt remember anything about it so guess itโs not a standout. I keep hearing a lot of people rave about the Glow Tonic & I would love to try that
I have heard amazing things about Pixi Skin Tonic. It’s one of the products I would love to try.
I love Pixis Glow Tonic it’s Amazing
I swear that highlighter is always sold out at my local targets and itโs perfect for my skin tone
I TRULY would appreciate just to be able to try ANYTHING from PIXI, I’ve heard good and bad but just like when someone says ” oh don’t go see that movie it wasn’t good and then I go watch it and love it” LOL if that makes sense. Thank u
I have never tried any of their items before , and Iโm crossing my fingers that I get a chance too . The eye pallete has beautiful colors that would go perfectly this winter , and they would go great with my complexion. As a mother I donโt have time to go out to purchase new items for my makeup collection ( the little one ) that I do have , this would be perfect ! Also my 25th birthday is January 30th so the giveaway would be literally 10 days before my birthday , wooahh maybe Iโll be lucky to have this as my birthday gift hehe . But seriously , good luck to everyone . It truly is special when youtube vloggers and blog creators do something special for their supporters . I hope your starting off your year with a lot of great opportunities and let this only be the beginning to a great start . Thanks for the giveaway !
I love the tinted blush and lip stain
I really have not got to try it and I want to try any of the eye shadow I haven’t found my match yet anywhere else and all of there palettes are gorgeous ๐

Hi!
Hope all is well with your newest addition!!
Have the winner of the giveaway been announced yet? I haven’t been on social media for a while since we’ve been recovering from the stomach bug ?
Thank you so much Juliet! Yes, the winner has been chosen and I am just waiting for her to confirm with me. It took me a few extra days to pick a winner. My little Gideon is doing great, but adjusting to having two kiddos to care for has had it’s challenges! ๐
