Pixi: Succulent Lip Twin

For a while now I've been wanting to write about this little gem. It's a tinted lip balm with a built in lip and cheek stain in the cap! How delicious is this!

The colour I have is No2 called Coral Camellia. These come in 4 different shades.

Inside the cap you'll find the lip and cheek stain. You can just dab it on straight from the container and lightly blend it out with your fingers. This colour is so fresh and in season!

This is the little cap all by itself. This lip and cheek tint is packed with soothing and moisturising ingredients such as shea butter, beeswax, jojoba seed oil, mango seed oil, avocado oil, vitamin E and aloe vera seed extract. You'll get a total of 2g product witch is generously pigmented so a little goes a long way.

In the tube you'll find the tinted lip balm. It's soothing and fully packed with natural oils and waxes such as beeswax, almond oil, lavender extract, jojoba seed oil, avocado oil and vitamin E. It's easy to squeeze out of the tube and gently put it on with your finger or a brush. In the tube you'll ger 12g of product.

Swatch.

To the left you have the lip balm. It's non-sticky super glossy with a very nice taste. It's so hard to describe it though... it's almost like a delicious old style humbug!

To the right is a swatch of the lip and cheek tint. It has the same taste and smell as the balm. The texture is smooth and rather matte. It's so suitable for your cheeks, it makes the colour look like it comes from within!

All and all this is an adorable product that not only works but is cute, multi functional and taste scrumptious! In the ingredients list there is also titanium dioxide wich makes me think that it could also have a SPF of at least 5, witch is very good for the summer. If I had to change anything it would be the tube. I'd like to have the top shaped as a lipgloss applicator so you could apply the balm straight from the container but this is not a big issue for me. To use a brush makes it more hygienic.

You can buy these online at pixibeauty.co.uk or at pixibeauty.com for US. If you live in London you can also get it at Pixi's cosy beauty shop on 22A Fouberts place off Carnaby street. The Succulent Lip Twin is £12 and totally worth it. Check out the other colours as well, may I recommend No4 Poppy Red!
