Pixi by Petra is a brand I don’t have a lot of experience with, and mostly just because I don’t shop at Target often. But earlier this year I was thrilled to be asked to join their PR list and since then they’ve been sending me products periodically. I have been able to try out several products from their line and think it’s past time that I share my thoughts — both the good and the bad — with you all!



I know I am late sharing about the Smashbox Light It Up holiday collection for this year, but I did want to still share my thoughts since some of the sets are still available. Smashbox released a bunch of different sets, exclusive to the different stores. I am not sure how many different value sets they put out this year, but I have three of them that I’ve been able to test out extensively this past month.

If you’ve been reading the blog for any length of time, you know I am a big LORAC Cosmetics fan. Needless to say, I was surprised when I realized I’ve never done a top 10 or top 5 from LORAC. Like…how did that even happen?? Well, today we’re going to fix that! I like so many products that they put out, but these 5 are the cream of the crop for me!
