Pixi Haul from Target


As most of you know, all Target stores are closing up in Canada(saddest news as I love going to Target). A couple of weeks ago, they started their liquidation sale. But since we don't have a Target store at where we are, I have to wait until I go to the city. 

Everything is 40-60% off. Most of the popular drugstore brands cosmetics are pretty much all gone. The most they have got left is Pixi and Sonia Kashuk. I got a few things from Sonia Kashuk a while back when they announced their closing. I got a hair brush and a few of their concealer quads. So this time, I got a few things from Pixi.


Besides that, I also got another Aladdin mason jar mug for my morning smoothie. 


I also got a pair of espadrilles from Mossimo. Shoes are 50% off and these are only $12.99.

When I grabbed this at the store, I only took a quick glance of the package and read creme-gel base and I didn't realize it is a foundation until I read further. The texture is very interesting. It is not cream and it is not gel. It is somewhere in between. It says to give a light to medium natural flawless velvety skin finish. I just tried it the first time today and I am loving it so far. It gives my skin a dewy glow. I applied this with a beauty blender but I think you could get more coverage using a dry sponge. This is perfect for spring weather as I suspect when warmer weather arrives, it wouldn't stay on my oily combo skin for too long.


The other two Pixi products I got are: Natural Brow Duo in Deep Brunette(as that was the only shade available there) and Lid & Line.

The Lid & Line is a 3-in-1 product: eye pencil, eye shadow and a built-in smudger. The shade I got is No.5 Smokey Mink which is a soft brown.

I like the Natural Brow Duo as I like the slanted applicator which is similar to my favorite brow liner, Lioele Auto Brow. The other side is a gel.

I want to test these out soon because if I love the products, I would have to run back to get some more. As Target is leaving Canada, it would be hard to get Pixi products anywhere else here.

Have you used other products from Pixi? What are your favorites?

    1. I have always been curious about Pixi products and now with deep discount, I am trying out a whole bunch. So far, I am loving the foundation. It gives dewy finish which I love for the spring and it gives pretty good coverage.

  2. Great deals! I have been meaning to check out Target since the liquidation began. Keep forgetting though as the closest one to me isn't on the way to anything so I'd have to really make a special trip (I wasn't a regular before). I have never tried Pixi before, but since you say it's good I'll keep an eye out for it if I see it at any other drugstores in the future.

    1. I have been to several Target last week and it is getting busier and busier as the week progresses. But they all still have a ton of Pixi and Sonia Kashuk products left so if you are interested in trying, you still have a good chance in getting some good ones. I am really loving the foundation. That's all I have been wearing since the day I got it. It has a pretty dewy finish and it is very light and non-greasy. Lasting power is not that impressive but I am ok with that as I don't mind touching up mid-day.

  3. I have passed by Pixi so many times but I have never tried their products, I have heard a lot of great things so maybe one day I'll pick up a few things.

    1. this is my first Pixi products to try as well and with the 40% off, it is definitely worth checking out. I don't know if I want to pay full price for those.
