You’re look ain’t nuthin’ if your makeup is sliding off your face! Here are two that will help keep color where it belongs.

COVER FX Protection Primer SPF 30 ($38/1oz @ coverfx.com) – just like the name states, this one is great for daytime as it contains a SPF 30, it’s vegan and contains those light refracting elements to blur the appearance of lines.

PIXI BEAUTY Flawless & Poreless ($29/1oz @ pixibeauty.com) – if you have prominent pores then you  should try this primer. It helps smooth them out and this one is shine controlling and oil-free. Comes in only one shade – No. 1 Translucent.

What are your go-to products for highlighting or un-highlighting areas on the face or helping it last throughout the day/night? Here are some I’ve been using and love.

To Make Eyes Pop - PIXI BEAUTY Extra Eye Bright Liner ($17 @ pixibeauty.com) – this super thin waterproof liner is meant to be worn on the water line or inner rim of the bottom lid. The pale white/pink/lavender color really brightens up any eye look.

To Highlight - ESTEE LAUDER Bronze Goddess Illuminating Powder Gelée in Heatwave ($40 @ esteelauder.com) -  highlight your cheeks, under the brows and even the décolletage with this new one from their Bronze Goddess Collection. Gorg.

My Go-To BB Cream - TARTE BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen ($34/1oz @ sephora.com) – sunscreen (check), longevity (check), slight tint (check), nourishing ingredients (check). Available in 4 shades.

Banish Under-eye Circles - ORLANE Highlight Care Brush ($40 @ orlane.com) – I’d put this one up against this cult favorite any day! If you’re going to rock the Spring look, dark circles and rough under eyes won’t cut it. Get your glow on with this one.

Hold On Eye Shadow - SENNA COSMETICS Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer ($24 @ sennacosmetics.com) – there’s nothing worse than your eye shadow sliding off your lids from the heat, so this season, vow to wear an eye shadow primer every time. This one contains antioxidants and peptides and available in three shades.

Seems every line has tinted lip balms that don’t look like your traditional lip balm but I ain’t complaining! I actually like them for the most part as they are packed with nourishing lip ingredients along with the color. PIXI BEAUTY has their Tinted Brilliance Balm and they just added three new colors. They describe theirs as more of a glossy gel that when the balm wears off, the lips are left with tint that your own pH level adjusts.

I've never tried these before and the one I was sent to test out was the Lucent Glow – a rose gold shimmer in translucent pink base. Nice color in the tube and on lips but this one has no stain to it – I know I was sad because I really love the stains but this one left behind a nice iridescent glow. $16 @ pixibeauty.com.

I never thought that a test of a truly good, non-tugging eye liner would to be the ability to apply it with one hand, as in one hand holding a mirror and the other applying to the lids. That’s exactly how I tried out this new Endless Silky Eye Pen from PIXI BEAUTY.

The PIXI BEAUTY line just came out with some new eye products, my favorite category of makeup, under the Make Up to Wake Up Collection called The Pixi Trio. Let’s investigate!

How often do you think of the products you put near your eyes? I know they are tested for safety but there are still some ingredients that are considered controversial. So it’s nice to see some lines really going out of their way to keep some out of their products like PIXI BEAUTY.

Here is PIXI BEAUTY’s new Pretty Eye Perfection ($12 @ pixibeauty.com). Yup, you read that price right, $12 for 12 shadows! And the colors seem all pretty usable – pastels to contouring colors to nice nudes, shimmers and ones without and I’d say these have medium pigmentation.

This may seem strange but I don’t really like when I have a big eye shadow as in, the bigger the pan and more color, the more I feel like I have to use it because I don’t want it to go to waste. These are the perfect size for someone like me with this issue. I’d so much rather have smaller sizes in a palette and more choices then the opposite. Will you be picking up this total bargain?

CLINIQUE Repairwear Laser Focus All Smooth Makeup SPF 15 ($32.50/1oz @ clinique.com) -  this is the latest foundation from the brand that includes an anti-aging serum in it as well as a spf. This comes in 12 shades.

I’m totally going to get this next one for the “Girl-Who-Loves-Beauty-But-Has-Everything.” PIXI BEAUTY just put out a huge but not too huge to carry Week of Makeup palette (6” wide x 5” x 1.1” deep). The deluxe kit contains peaches, pinks, and nudes for each day of the week.

Open the left drawer and check out the nudes of Monday and the corals and browns of Tuesday. The middle houses Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and the right side drawer is your weekend fun of bronzes, nudes and peaches. There’s 21 eyeshadows, 7 cheek powders and 8 lip glosses. Stay true to each day or mix and match!

Wow, This. Is. Love! This two-in-one Succulent Lip Twin from PIXI BEAUTY is at the top of my usage list right now! At first I couldn’t figure out which was the Lip Balm and which was the Lip & Cheek Tint but have since figured out (balm is inside the tube). For me, this product is all about what’s under the cap on top. The Poppy Red tint is thee perfect flush of color for cheeks and it’s the consistency that makes it great. More pigmented than a cream, this one stays the distance. I’m giving this one a big recommendation. Available in Nude Lilly, Coal Camellia, Pink Peony, Poppy Red. $18 @ pixibeauty.com.
