PixiGlow (Giveaway)
Exclusively available at Target stores and Pixibeauty.com, PixiGlow’s make-up line features a stylish take on Disney’s Tinker Bell and helps women let their inner glow shine through with shades ranging from champagne and bronze to rose and light pink, perfect for spring and summer. The original Pixi line was first created 10 years ago in London and has marketed itself as “pure, awakening & skin-loving products that create a naturally radiant “just had a good night’s sleep” look.”
Their brand new PixiGlow line includes some cool items like shadow crayons, tinted lip balm, nail colour, eye liners, fairy dust, and a fairy face palette . . . all designed to give you that fresh glowing look. We received a few of the PixiGlow items to try out for ourselves and loved the finished look.
Fairy Face Palette ($34)
This extensive make-up palette came complete with pretty much everything I needed to complete my look – (5) powder eye shadows, (5) lip creams, (3) powder blushes, (3) make-up brushes – all in one handy carrying case. The eye shadows came in a range of browns and pinks which are great shades for an everyday look.
What I really liked about the various shades is that they all blended nicely together which meant that I didn’t have to remove and reapply shadows when day turned to night. I just added in darker shades for a more dramatic look. I also liked that the powder shadows went on smoothly and stayed on throughout the day. No creasing, caking, or fading.
The lip creams came in various shades of pink from the lightest blush to the darkest berry. You can even mix the various hues to create a new color made just for you. We found these lip creams to be rich, thick, and full of color. They lasted longer than most of the lipsticks that I own and stayed on even while I was eating . . . provided that I didn’t excessively wipe my mouth.
The blush has three different shades and are presented in one section allowing you to easily mix them for different looks. The lighter pink is perfect for a sweet daytime look while the medium hue is great for darker skin tones. Add in the third mauve shade and you’re ready to party the night away. Tone them up or tone them down . . . it’s all up to you. The blush comes with a wide brush to make applying quick and easy. One stroke is all it takes.
All this in a mirrored case makes the Pixi Fairy Face Palette the perfect set to take along everywhere you go!
Pixi Magic Tink Tint ($16)
If there’s one thing that I carry around with me at all times it’s lip balm. I keep them in my purse, in the car, in the diaper bag, and pretty much every room in the house. My lips tend to be on the dry side so I always have to make sure I have lip balm handy. It gets even worse when I’m working on the plane. All that dry air makes my lips feel dry and cracked. I would prefer to carry some lip stick in my pocket but since I don’t always have immediate access to the mirrors in the lavatories I usually have to settle on plain old lip balm. However, with the Pixi Magic Tink Tint I can now have soft lips at a moment’s notice without sacrificing color. Because as you know, when you’re a flight attendant appearances are an important part of the job.
This super moisturizing lip balm goes on effortless and adds a pretty subtle pink hue to your lips. It includes ingredients like Jojoba oil, Vitamin E, Shea butter, Vitamin A, and Rose extract . . . all to ensure your lips are protected from the elements and nourished to a healthy glow.
PIxiGlow Fairy Dust ($14)
This little jar of magic brings shine to whatever it touches . . . lids, lips, cheeks . . . to give you a shimmery glow. Just use the sponge applicator and lightly touch to skin and blend in. That’s it.
The Fairy Dust looked great especially on my eye lids because it really opened up my eyes and put a dramatic touch to my eye color.
I also added it to my lip colour but it didn’t show up as prominently as it did on my lids. The shimmer was very subtle but not as noticeable.
Overall, I really liked the PixiGlow make-up line. I’ve always been more partial to pinks and browns so these colors worked great for me! Using the Magic Tink Tint and Fairy Dust made me feel very feminine and put me in a confident and positive mood. After all, when you look good, you feel good. And during some mornings that’s all we need to get us through the day.

Tweezerman Slant Tweezers (Giveaway)
I have to admit that I have a kind of obsession with my eye brows. It’s not the most perfectly shaped brows but I just can’t handle seeing even the tiniest little hair outside the brow area. Maybe it’s just the perfectionist in me . . . or OCD. In any case, I always carry a pair of tweezers with me on layovers even if I’m only gone for one night.
Known both ‘behind the scenes’ and ‘on the street’ as the word of mouth, must-have brand for over 30 years, Tweezerman beauty tools are beloved by everyone from celebrities, models and make-up artists to top beauty gurus, magazine editors and women from all walks of life around the world.
I received a pair of the Tweezerman Slant Tweezers ($25) as well as the Mini Slant Tweezers ($15) and was really impressed with the results. I could tell that these were high quality instruments because it felt very sturdy in my hands yet were very light weight. And when I put the tips together there were no visible gaps.
Of course, the test in the actual using of the product and it worked great! These tweezers could grasp even the tiniest brow hair without pinching my skin. I also liked that they were comfortable to grip which meant no slips. However, to be honest what I liked the best were the way they looked! They were made with bright colors and designs and just screamed FUN!
So if you’d like to look your best and do it with a little style, check out these cute designs by Tweezerman.

SKINDINAVIA’s Moisture Lock Makeup Finish
As a flight attendant, I work some pretty long days in some pretty dry environments. I’ve learned the hard way that the cabin air can be harsh on delicate skin especially on my face. Add make-up to the equation and that means I’m always in the lavatory touching up my foundation or reapplying my eye shadow. Not fun. So when I heard about the award-winning SKINDINAVIA Moisture Lock Makeup Finish I figured I give it a try. After all, if it’s good enough to go on tour with Lady Gaga and Brittney Spears then it should be good enough for me, right?
Skindinavia invented the makeup finish as a simple way for women to keep their makeup looking flawless all day. Each spray uses our patented Temperature Control Technology which prevents makeup from melting, drying out, becoming shiny, or creasing. Skindinavia Makeup Finishes hold everything in place while giving you a healthy, natural glow. Never too dry or too oily. No touch ups or blotting. Just you and the perfect look you love. All day.
I received a 4 oz. bottle of The Original Makeup Finishing Spray ($29.00) to put to the test. On my last trip to San Francisco, I applied my makeup as usual then sprayed on the finishing spray (BEFORE applying mascara) as directed - shake bottle then spray on 2-4 times in an X and T formation. I finished by applying mascara and I was out the door. On this particular day I had to travel from San Francisco to Honolulu then back to San Francisco again. This meant wearing the same makeup for a total of 15 hours.
Normally, when I land in Honolulu I would need to do some touch-ups for the flight back. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my makeup still looked great after the first 7 hours. There were no faded eye shadow or dry foundation lines! The only thing I had to reapply was my eye liner but that’s probably because the spray can’t access that area when my eyes are closed. And when I got back to my hotel at the end of the night my makeup still looked and felt great! Normally, by this time I can’t wait to wash everything off.
All in all, I felt that the SKINDINAVIA’s Moisture Lock Makeup Finish really did a great job of preserving my makeup all day long. It worked in the various climates and temperatures that my skin is subjected to every day – from cold to dry to humid and back again. And since it’s hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, and oil free you know it’s good for your skin.
So if you want to look your best all day long and save some money by using less makeup each day, check out SKINDINAVIA’s Moisture Lock Makeup Finish. Hey, if it’s good enough to go on tour with Lady Gaga and Brittney Spears isn’t it worth a try?
