A while ago, I shared with you one of my favourite eyeliners, which was the Pixi Beauty Endless Silky Eye Pen. A few weeks ago, I was surprised by a wee package by the folks at Pixi Beauty, who must have guessed at my love for their liners, because they sent me a few more! LOL!
I’m going to share some quick thoughts about these liners, and how they perform for me. However, as much as I enjoy using eyeliners, mascara is something I don’t use anymore. So, if you enjoy using mascara, and would like to have a go, I have a wee surprise for you below 😉
Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen – RM84 | £12 | US$12
The eyeliner itself isn’t new, but what are new are the additional 4 colours added to the collection. The colours are:-
- Cobalt Blue – A very bright blue
- Velvet Violet – A matte, muted purple
- Matte Mulberry – A matte purplish brown
- Rose Glow – A shimmery gold-brown
Both Cobalt Blue and Velvet Violet make for fun pops of colour along your lashline. If you aren’t the sort who likes to wear bright eyeshadow, but want something fun, perhaps for the weekend, you could try these. Or better still, use these to draw a thicker line, smudge it a little at the edges, and then go over with a very soft, beige shadow. It is fun and lasts and gives your eyes a subtle pop of colour.
I did find the texture a little soft. Cobalt Blue broke off at the tip while I was trying to swatch it below, and because it doesn’t come with its own sharpener, I find it quite a bummer. Otherwise, it glides on without tugging, is very pigmented, and stays on well without too much smudging. You can read what I think of these in my previous review. It all still holds true.
Pixi Lash Link Ink Eyeliner – £12 | US$14
This one’s a liquid eyeliner in a very deep black. I do find however, that the felt nib is a bit too long, and for me too stiff. I also find that the ink does not flow as smoothly as I like, and in fact, feels rather patchy going on. When it comes to ink liners, I prefer a pen with a more flexible brush-style nib, that allows me to draw as thick or as thin a line as I need. Because of my hooded and hidden lids, I prefer drawing a thicker line, and a stiff nib isn’t so conducive. For me, this was a non-starter.

Pixi Eye Define Waterline – £12 | US$14
I tightline a lot, so the Pixi Eye Define Waterline was right up my alley! I like a few things about it. I like that the nib is tiny and fine. I feel that’s very important for getting into the tiny space under your lash line. I like that it is a retractable pencil, because it just makes life so much easier. I like that it is very black. VERY black. It enhances my eyes in the most natural way. I like that it is soft, so it doesn’t scratch the sensitive skin under the lash line.
There is a lot to like about this, and I have been using it a lot since I received it! I do find that it may transfer a little to your lower waterline, and may also transfer a little to your lower lid. But to be fair, it transfers a little less than other pencils I use, and depends also on whether I blink hard, or laugh very loudly LOL! When you laugh hard, your eyes do tend to squeeze shut, so it may transfer. But it is otherwise a very good pencil for tightlining and is safe for use on the waterline, without irritating. Winner for me!
Pixi Extra Eye Bright Liner – £12 | US$14
Ok this one is a bit more unique. At one time, it was all the rage to use a white eyeliner to line your lower waterline. This, it was believed, was to mask red rims, and to make your eyes look bigger. The problem is that white is very harsh, so most people just ended up looking a bit odd.
What I found most unique about this Pixi Extra Eye Bright Liner was that it is a very pale shade of lilac-pink. It has a very small and fine nib as well, like the Pixi Eye Define Waterline, as it is also to be used on the waterline. But what I found interesting was that when I drew along my lower lashline, it did not look too harsh, and it did help brighten my eyes. This helps when you have had a bad night, and wake up with red-rimmed eyes. This colour masks the redness and makes you look more presentable, and less tired. Not a must have by any stretch, but an interesting product that performs much better than many other pencils of this nature that I’ve tried.
I used the Pixi Eye Define Waterline, Lash Line Ink and Extra Eye Bright Liner in this FOTD, which was in this post.
It is perhaps, hard to tell, but they are all there 😛
My personal picks are therefore the Endless Silky Eye Pen and the Eye Define Waterline. Both of these have performed very well for me, without too much smudging and colour transference especially considering our heat and humidity.
Surprise!
Because I don’t use mascara or lash products, I didn’t want to waste them. So, if you’d like to receive the Pixi Black Lacquer Lash and Large Lash Mascara just leave a comment below about anything about Pixi. Perhaps tell me your favourite Pixi Beauty product, or what you have tried from the brand, or if you haven’t tried, what you’d like to try from the brand. You have till 3 June 2018 and I’ll pick a winner after that.
WINNER: Jan Maslan
Have you tried any Pixi eyeliners? Or what is your favourite Pixi product?
This is the same brand that does that iconic Pixi Glow Tonic, but some of their makeup is pretty impressive too. Share your faves? 🙂
Paris B
PRICE: As per above
WHERE TO BUY: Pixi Beauty website, Cult Beauty, Iherb, Asos, Target
I enjoy the Pixi Glow Tonic. It works in removing dead skin cells and brightening my skin.
That it certainly does! It’s very gentle which is why I like it too
So… I’m gonna give this a shot cos I go through tubes of mascara like crazy! I’ve never tried Pixi makeup but the Glow Tonic I cannot do without. If Lady Luck smiles on me, the mascara might be how I dip my toes into their make up. I buy stock of the Glow Tonic whenever ASOS does the 20% off everything. Sephora prices are insane!
You should also try shopping Pixi products from iherb.com prices are already 10-30% less than what Sephora is offering.
Thank you for the info, Lezel! I’ll have a look at iherb 🙂
LOL I just cued her onto iHerb too! 😀 I prefer to buy from there too though they still don’t stock Rose Tonic
Don’t bother with Sephora – iHerb or even Cult Beauty is far better! Esp since CB deducts the VAT
And I just received CB’s email re: 10th anniversary goodie bag! It’s a sign!!!
I received it too! But I quietly deleted the email LOL! Going to be good 😛 That said, there were some really nice stuff in there. I’m waiting to see if there might be something good towards the year end then maybe I’ll splurge 😉
Love the Silky Eye Pens as well! ?
Looking to expand my eyeliner / mascara wardrobe with an iHerb haul or hopefully winning this giveaway!
Thank you for the opportunity ?
Good luck! If not, iHerb it is! haha 😉
Would love to try pixi product because the only pixy I know is the powder from Indonesia brand..
It would be a great addition to my barely there makeup collection due to my current economy situation (most probably I’ll b jobless)
So sorry to hear about your situation 🙁 Stay strong and chin up!
Well, I love Glow Tonic too and I’m not alone there! But I received a Pixi ‘Hello Glow!’ kit in a Look Fantastic beauty advent calendar this year (v exciting!) it came with a kind of highlighter powder blush, plumping lip gloss and liquid highlighter. The shade was ‘peach gold’ . None of these things were items I’d usually go for and neither was the shade but omg I love them all! So much fun to use and I adore the packaging. I’m a bit addicted to black eyeliner too so will definitely have a look at these. They sell
Pixi in M&S here in the U.K. so it’s easy to find on the high street. Ooh and I’ve been looking at the Pixi rose flash balm and tonic a lot lately ( I think just because it’s so pretty to look at lol) – I may have to get that too! Actually I’m going to look and see if you’ve reviewed that now..
Thanks , love your posts! Though I’ve bought a few things because of you so maybe I shouldn’t be thanking you, ha!
LOL I hope whatever you’ve bought has served you well, even if your wallet probably hates you 🙂 Oh yes I have heard that Pixi is available at M&S. I miss browsing through M&S! Especially the food hall. I love department store food halls 😀 I haven’t tried the Rose Flash Balm and the Rose Tonic. I tried to get hold of the Rose Tonic but it was sold out online and I forgot about it. Now that you’ve reminded me, I should go and take a look and see if I can snag it!
Ah my most favourite thing you’ve ‘forced’ me to buy is the Chanel Les Beiges sheer colour stick omg I love it! And you dissuaded me from buying the Sunday Riley Luna oil so that was some money saved at least lol
And yes after beauty counters, food halls are the best ?
LOL Hurrah for the Chanel sheer colour stick! It truly is one of the best cream/stick blushes I’ve ever used! Glad you love it as much as I do 🙂
I am a long time user of a lot of Pixi products since 2012, after a visit to the UK brought me to Pixi Beauty. Some of the products I’ve loved since then have been discontinued… sad 🙁
So these are my favourite ones that are still around:
I love love love Pixi Undercover Crayon as my go to concealer. My holy grail!! Good colour match ( I use #3) & last long, creamy, not drying. Just perfect for me.
Another compulsory item is Sheer Cheek Gel in Natural.. it is just natural.
Also the makeups department, I love Endless Silky Eye Pen (I have a few colours… Haa!!) & Tinted Brilliance Balm (and, guess what I have a few colours too!!).
In the skincare department, Glow Mud Cleanser, Rose Cream Cleanser, Glow Tonic, Rose Caviar Essence & Rose Oil Blend.
Tried H2O Skin Drink, but not loving the texture, just not for me.
Their products are just nice & good for me.
Would like to try their compact eye shadows & the Glow Mud Mask.
Wooohooo!! Do I sound like a Pixi obsessed freak? Hahahaha
Haha wow you have certainly tried a lot of Pixi stuff! 😀 Their shadows aren’t bad. I had a palette from a while ago. Soft and decently pigmented, and easy to blend. Also, not too expensive.
I love the pixi glow tonic.. haven’t got to chance to try their makeup but i love mascara. Hopefully I’ll win this and get to try pixi mascara.. currently my mascara is from tarte..
Fingers crossed! It looks like many of us like Glow Tonic!
Hey u replied! Hehe.. I just wanna say that I LOVE your blog. Each time I wanna try anything new I’ll search for your review. From your recommendation in your blog, am currently hooked on sheseido sunblock (and recommends it to my friends too), the cerave clenser (damn they pulled out from Malaysia), pixi glow tonic, loreal mud masks, and clarins cream mask. And I’m happy with all the products ?
I always try to reply (often late, but I’ll eventually get around to it hehe) Thank you for reading and for your support Jan. It means A LOT to me! <3
I’ve not tried Pixi before but would really love to give them a shot as many brands have failed me resulting in the “panda eyes” due to Malaysia hot humid weather. ?
And that’s one of the reasons why I eventually gave up on mascara LOL! That said, try “tubing” type mascara. They don’t smudge as badly.
Guess I’m the only one who doesn’t use Pixi. I’m always into eye liners and mascaras. Always finding alternative for better formulas to beat our wonderful weather. Hope I got the chance to win one of your freebies. Cheers!!!
Always a first time for everything! Hope this is your lucky day
I’ve tried the Glow Tonic 3 times. Sorry to say, it gives me a big disappointment of all time! Maybe the glycolic concoction isn’t suitable for me (although I have no problem with ALPHA-H’s).
Hey, why don’t we swap Paris? I still have 3/4 of a big bottle with me!
Yikes so sorry to hear that Farah! 🙁 🙁 It could be the one of the other ingredients that doesn’t sit well with your skin. If it only breaks out your face, maybe use it on your neck and decolletage area. Those parts could do with some pampering too 🙂
Hi Paris! I would love to try Pixi Glow Tonic someday. I’m currently using Alpha H Liquid Gold and Paula’s Choice products to help with my whiteheads/clogged pores.
Speaking of eyelashes, what are your thoughts on eyelash extensions that many seem to rave about? (Along with eyebrow microblading) Would you do it? Not that you need it! Just wanna hear your thoughts hehe..
Hi Anna! It’s an interesting question about lash extensions and microblading. I have to say that I toyed with the idea of microblading for brows. But because it’s semi-permanent, I couldn’t bring myself to commit. What if I hated it? LOL I know they check with you first, but I guess I’m just really worried about things like that. As for lash extensions, I don’t really have thoughts about it. I personally won’t do it, because to me, it’s unnecessary. But for those who crave fuller, thicker, more visible lashes, then I do think it’s an option to consider. These things need a lot of care, which again is something I am not sure I can commit to, so I’m staying au naturel for now 😀 Have you thought about doing them?
I do lean towards pen liner than liquid ones because I find the latter requires more time and skill. LOL. Also, it tended to dry up more quickly than pencil liner – but that was based on my experience many years ago (maybe decades?). Hopefully, formulation has improved.
When I took a glance at your swatch, the Rose glow was waving a big hello to me. It’s quite a unique colour and I would be tempted to buy it right away if I see it on the shelf.
Absolutely agree with you re: Liquid liners. It took me a long long time to learn to use one and I’m still not very good at it. But practice makes perfect as they say! 😀 If you head to the UK or US, I think there are stores that sell Pixi there 🙂 But I’m also sure you have similar liners in your stash? 😉
Bought the glow tonic. Waiting to try it out, after finishing the various half-used bottles and tubs on my dressing table! I really should stop buying stuff before i need (want?) them ?
You and I both HJ! 😛
