Last year I posted about the Pixi Liquid Lipsticks in my inital review here. The original line up consisted off five stunning nude/brown shades that are all infused with Rose Hip Seed Oil. These were and still are some of my favourite liquid lipsticks to date mainley because they are so comfortable and actually moisturising on the lips! So if you are still a fan of a liquid or matte lip then I wanted to share with you six more shades that have been added to the collection that I have swatched, however there is now a further three more shades that I will include the names off down below. Also be sure to let me know your favourite shades in the comments section too!

Do you ever feel like sometimes your skin just needs that extra bit of TLC, well today I wanted to share with you my dewy/glowy skincare routine when my skins in need of a little pick me up! I'll also share with you a few tips I use to get that instant dewy glow. 💫

First off I use a cleanser that is going to brighten my skin so I decided to apply one of my newest additions the Neals Yard Remedies Rejuvenating Facial Wash*. I apply one pump onto the skin and then wet my fingers to massage it in further. I also used my Lidl Cleansing Brush to give my skin a deeper more efficient cleanse. And to finish I used a cold flannel over the face to boost the circulation and remove my cleanser.
I also spritzed my face with this beautiful rose toner from Wide Eye here. While my face was still damp I used this Rose Quartz Massage Tool* that I mentioned in my skincare collection video here to help give my skin that naturally radiant glow. I love doing this as it aids in boosting blood flow and circulation.
For the eyes, I also used the smaller side of this mini Rose Quartz massager to help penetrate my favourite cooling and brightening eye gel from Simple*.
For moisturiser I decided to use the Pixi Rose Caviar Essence* as this is both great at hydrating and brightening the complexion.
Then to finish I just applied the Glossier Balm Dotcom* in Birthday to my lips for a subtle dash of sparkle and hydration.
Also if you have time and you want to add an extra step to your routine a Pearl* or Vitamin C Sheet Mask are a great way to instantly brighten and hydrate the skin.
Lastly as promised here's a few more tips and tricks I use to get that instant dewy glow...
If you are applying makeup that day a couple of other things I use are some hydrating under eye patches. I apply these before I do my makeup and leave them on while I’m doing my makeup so they really have time to sink into my skin and to hydrate and brighten the under eye area.
Then when it comes to foundation and these days I'm more into a dewy glow, so I first massage in a facial oil with my other Rose Quartz face tool, then I apply my foundation on top. I adore using the Rose Otto Oil from Balance Me* and massage combo with the Milani Conceal and Perfect Foundation* as it gives the most beautiful dewy finish to the skin.

Hey guys, I hope you're all having a great weekend so far! I wanted to start a new series on my blog where I share with you my Evening Skin Care Routines. I've been sharing a lot more skincare content over on the PPB Instagram herebut I also wanted to document my routines over here too. But first, let me give you a bit of a background to my skin type. I have Normal/Combination Skin, I often get the odd spot mostly on my chin and I am in my Mid 30's. You can also message me on Instagram if you want to know any more additional information about my skin type. So without further ado here's my Nighttime Skincare Routine from Wednesday.

WHAT DOES IT DO AND WHO IS IT FOR?
Infused with rose extracts and chamomile these long-wearing liquid eyeshadows can be used to add a pop of sparkle to any eye look. Wear them alone or on top of another shadow for the ultimate party look. Suitable for anyone who loves a dash of sparkle!
PRICE
Pixi Liquid Fairy Lights £15 each.
PACKAGING
Each shadow comes boxed in a beautiful holographic box with everything you need to know located on the back of the box. The shadow itself has a long doe foot applicator wand for ease of application.
HOW TO USE
Apply the product directly onto the eye with the wand and blend out with a brush or apply with your finger over the top of another shadow.
OVERALL THOUGHTS
These liquid shadows are insanely pigmented, sparkly and long-wearing and I actually really love the fact that although these are super glittery, they are all totally wearable neutral shades. I personally love wearing either Rose Gold or Bare Brillance as an eyeshadow base and then going over the top with a similar shadow shade for a more toned down everyday look and then if I wanted to amp it up of an evening, I could then go in with a little more of the fairy lights on top.
The only thing I would say is despite these being long-wearing you do get a bit of glitter fall out throughout the day, but I think that is to be expected with this kind of formula. Either way, the Liquid Fairy Lights are truly stunning whether you're after a touch of twinkle onto a bare lid or you just love a full-on glam look!

HOW TO USE
The highlighters can be used anywhere you want a luminous glow including the tops of the cheeks and brow bone. I personally love using them with a fan brush over the cheeks, cupids bow and decollaté.
I've tried a fair few highlighters over the past couple of years but these really are on another level! The unique creamy texture makes them glide on effortlessly giving you the most beautifully lit from within glow to the skin. I adore the shades in both duos as their so versatile, wearable and long-lasting.
