Pixi on-The-Glow Bronze Beach Glow and Warm Glow Review

 

With my current hand situation of eczema, I love using stick products that do not require me to apply things using my hands!  From sunblock to bronzer/highlighter sticks!

Pixi Beauty is back in my top favorite makeup brand game when I tried their On-The-Glow Bronze in Beach Glow and Warm Glow.  

Swatch (L-R)
Beach Glow and Warm Glow

Php1,190.00
Available at Lazada

These can be categorized as bronzer, highlighter, illuminating product or just a face enhancer!  Beach Glow looks a bit unnatural on me in person so I had to be careful in application, 1-2 swipes are enough on each cheek and I have to make sure to blend it properly and it would warm up my face naturally.

Warm Glow on the other hand appears very light and hard to catch with naked eye!  I had to apply around 3-4 swipes to have this appear on photo but given the choice, I LOVE this more than Beach Glow.  This shade is like NARS Orgasm 10x notched down.  

Side by side after blending the product well. (L- Beach Glow, R- Warm Glow)

Both appears natural and almost similar on photo but the difference is light and day in person.  If I wanted "warmth" on my skin, I would reach out for Beach Glow and I like using Warm Glow as a cream blush before powder blush application.  My blush lasts longer that way.

Overall, the product is amazing in terms of packaging, the quality of the stick, how the product glides so easily even on dry skin and how it makes my cheeks appear healthier and more hydrated.  I think I have to revisit the review with their ON-the-Glow Blushers instead as I am a fan of blush and I would appreciate heavier pigment.

Subtle, natural, no-makeup makeup look KEY product are the keywords to the Pixi Beauty On-The-Glow Bronze !

How to BronzTour

 

Are you into PINK OR ORANGE colored blushes?

Mine is actually NONE Of the Above because I am into Lilac colored cheeks.  

It started when I first tried Etude House's Sweet Recipe Cupcake - which I actually finished - yes, hit the pan!  I never looked back and even updated it with Laura Mercier's Kir Royale.

But as you all know, I could wear this for years but there are days I would look too pale and depend on my trustee Bronzers --- and no, I don't apply it as bronzer but as a blush.  It doubles up as a contour product too!

My favorite?  NARS LAGUNA BLUSH.  This works for all skin tone!  

You can be uber pale, medium tone or dark skinned.  You just need to control the amount of application and you are good to go!

I also like the fact that I minized my makeup application in half!  No need for separate contour powder and I can just use this same blush to apply lightly on areas I would like to "hide". 

How do you like this look?

Highlight, Warm-up and Color My Cheeks in a Single Swipe

You probably know by now how important it is to warm-up your face, highlight and color your face.  With that, I bet you are picking up at least 3 products on a daily basis just to apply on ONE area --- the Cheeks!  

I recently discovered a drugstore brand that can do all 3 in a second!  Shawill Make-up!  

I have discovered Shawill years ago when I was just starting up on blogging, the brand is still here for almost a decade, that said, I'm sure they have a loyal following and I'm glad to be able to try their products again!

Benefit HOOLA Lite Review

Hi AMW Friends!  Summer season is "almost" over!  But who said we can't keep the "warmth" on our faces?

When it comes to Benefit's Box O' Powders, HOOLA has always been that name that pops when it comes to "bronzer" or "instant face warmer".  But let's be serious, as much as I love that product, I wish they have something lighter that would be apt for fairer skin.

After years of waiting, I would say, this is worth the wait!  HOOLA LITE is here for girls like ME!

Housed in the well-known "box-type" packaging, I used to dislike how bulky it is making it difficult for me to bring this along for makeup gigs!  But....after piling them up together with other shades, I do like them better and I like how gorgeous they look inside my dresser drawer.

P.S. I really like the brush that comes with this!  So I can forgive the "bulkiness" anytime of the day!

Benefit HOOLA Lite Says ---

Now the award-winning hoola matte bronzer is joined by a lighter shade…hoola lite! This finely milled bronzer blends on smoothly & seamlessly. Ideal for fair skin—beyond ideal for a TANtasticly believeable bronze 365 days a year.

NYX Matte Bronzer Powder (Dark Tan) Review

I have always mentioned that a Bronzer is one of my favorite and no-brainer blush shade.  Truth be told, on days I don't feel like looking I have a blush on, I pick a bronzer and apply it on the apples of my cheeks and voila!  Instant healthy-looking skin in less than 30 seconds!  So when I got NYX Matte Bronzer in Dark Tan, I knew this is my to-go-to summer blush shade and mind you, I won't even try to make this my contour powder --- let's not even go there!
