The September Birchbox brings some cool products! I’ve actually got a cold this week so my video is a bit stuffy but I powered on : ) Enjoy.
What I got in my September Birchbox..
Check out my September 2017 Birchbox video unboxing too!
I received a sample sized Pixi by Petra Brow Tamer in my August 2017 Glossybox and it’s really nice.
What’s to love?
I am a huge fan of brow tamers and the Pixi by Petra formula is great. It does set, shape and hold my brows and I love that it’s Not tested on animals. It also does not make my brows sticky or goopy. It has aloe vera and panthenol.
My only issue is that I don’t use a lot of brow tamer. This tube will probably last me for 3 months which I guess is a good thing! I do like that this one is $10 for the full-sized tube which is super reasonable. I don’t like to pay a lot for brow tamers and this one does the job at the right price for me.
The Pixi by Petra brand is great and I love their stuff.
I was in Target yesterday and of course meandered into the beauty section only to find a great product from Pixi by Petra that I had never tried before, the Undercover Crayon. Pixi is the brainchild of make-up artist Petra Strand and the line is hypoallergenic and they do not test on animals.
What’s hot about the Undercover Crayon.
First let me say that I am a concealer hoarder. I must have at least 10 and am always on the look-out for more.
This new addition is a great find. The pencil is about the consistency of an eye shadow stick, perhaps a bit harder. You simply draw a few lines under your eye and blend with your finger. You get a nice even blend and cover-up. I chose the No. 2 Nude shade but it also comes in Perk-Up Peach, Cream and Warm.
The number one thing I love about the Undercover Crayon is that it fits right in my purse and I don’t have to worry about carrying around a goopy concealer while I am on the run. Touch up during the day or travel is a breeze with this product.
This is also a twist-up product. No sharpening which is awesome.
