Pixi GelTint & SilkGloss: Lovin’ These Lush, Low-Key Lip Combos

July 19th, 2017 by Karen 9 Comments

These Pix GelTint & Silkgloss combos are my jam right meow! From the top: BerryTint & Sweet Gloss, PinkTint & PrettyGloss and BeachTint & FreshGloss ($12 each)

I love ya, matte lips. I really do, but, like in most long-term relationships, sometimes absence makes the heart grow fonder, so…we gotta take a break. Just for a bit. Because when it’s hella hot out like it’s been here lately, matte lips just don’t seem right. But glosses and lip tints, like the Pixi GelTint & SlickGloss combos ($12 each), which are both, do.

Maybe it’s because hot weather puts me a minimal makeup mood, or maybe it’s because of these natural-looking colors. All I know is that on brows/mascara/gel blush/gloss days, I love these doe-foot duos.

Hello, pretties!

There’s a lightly tinted liquid lip tint on one end and a sheer, non-sticky gloss with a smooth, lightweight formula on the other. You can wear the tint or the gloss by themselves, or you can layer the gloss on top of the tint, which is what I usually do. They smell and taste faintly of yummy mint tea, and all three duos are new to Pixi’s permanent line.

I hate when liquid lip tints don’t apply evenly and leave empty patches on my pucker. It’s a pain in the booty (patchiness is the devil’s work!), but Pixi’s lip tints (when I top them with gloss) apply evenly.

They also last me about two hours when I’m just chillin’ and taking the occasional sip from my BKR bottle, and I don’t mind having to reapply them because I can it without a mirror, since they’re sheer.

Did I mention how lush these are in the moisture department? Dry lips, I will not have thee!

I wear the pink and sheer pink duo (PinkTint & PrettyGloss) and the berry tint and rose gloss duo (BerryTint & Sweet Gloss) more than the brick tint and papaya gloss one (BeachTint & FreshGloss) because I think they look more effortless and natural (more effortless?), but the brick/papaya one is the most intense one, and I think it’s pretty too.

For $12 each, you really can’t go wrong with any of them.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I know what you mean about minimal makeup in the summer, especially when we have a humid, heat wave here on the east coast. I’ve been wearing tinted moisturizer w/ SPF 30, concealer, cream shadow, mascara and a bit of bronzer. I even have used my lipstick as a cream blush and mix llip color with lip balm for a tine. These Pixi lip tints are nice, though I don’t know where Pixi is sold near me, I think Target. I haven’t worn lip gloss in a long time because I find most are sticky and not very lasting. I did however, recently but Chanel Rouge Coco gloss. It is not sticky. nor is it “uber” shiny. It lasts fine and feels so nice on my dry lips.

      Hi Jane,

      Yes, they’re at Target! 🙂

      Did you ever get the chance go grab an Aqualumiere Gloss from Chanel? They were my favorite until they got discontinued. 🙁 They were so moisturizing and beautiful!

    Hi Karen! Really like your Not-Tryin-So-Hard-to-Look-Good Summer look. Love how fresh your face looks. Really less is more for the summer. And I see the price is very reasonable for these glosses. THank you for the tip.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
