Happy Wednesday, beauties! September is here, which means shorter days, cooler nights, and tons of makeup launches! This is my favorite time of year for new makeup, because the deep neutral tones just speak to me. So, when the folks at Pixi Beauty sent me a gorgeous box of fresh fall goodies, I was super excited to test them out for you all!
MATTELUSTRE LIPSTICK
First up, are the new Mattelustre lipsticks. These stunning lippies are formulated with peptides, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins C and E. They are designed to hydrate, plump, and protect, while leaving behind a long lasting demi-matte finish.
Plum Berry ($12.00) is a deep berry with incredible pigmentation. It glides across lips without tugging or dragging, and the formula is super comfy and non-drying. On me, this shade doesn’t appear quite as dark as it does in the tube, but it’s still a stunner!
Pure Fuchsia ($12.00) is a bright hot pink that also has amazing color payoff. It feels hydrating on the lips, and despite the fact that it’s really pigmented, it’s easy to apply and doesn’t bleed. The finish is full coverage, and very similar to how it appears in the tube.
ENDLESS BROW GEL PEN (MEDIUM)
This hybrid gel formula is designed to shape and shade all in one step. It’s waterproof, easy to apply, and it contains conditioning pathenol and vitamins C and E. The texture is really easy to work with, and the color payoff is perfect. It’s not too dark or too light, and the gel formula really holds unruly brow hairs in place – so there’s no need for a separate brow gel!
CAT EYE INK (INTENSE BLACK)
This liquid liner comes with a unique slanted tip (that resembles an angled liner brush), making application is a breeze. It’s nicely pigmented, waterproof, and it doesn’t require a lot of work in order to get a precise line. I’ve worn it a few times, and so far the formula has not flaked or smudged, and it lasts all day on the lids. However, I’m not sure I would call this “intense black” it’s dark, but it’s not the blackest liner I’ve used. In fact, you’ll see in my swatch it almost appears to have a brown undertone. Still, despite the lack of oomph with the color, I really like the slanted tip!
SWATCHES
Everything I received is great, but the Mattelustre lipsticks really impressed me. They are so easy to apply, and the color payoff is fabulous. If you pick up anything from the new fall line, I highly suggest those! You’ll see Plum Berry in action this Friday in my Face of the Day, so stay tuned!
What do you think of these new goodies? Which items would you like to try?

Aren’t the lipsticks Ahmazing? So pretty!
They are, I was really impressed!
These all sound lovely! I think that Plum Berry lipstick will be great for fall! I’ve heard a lot of good things about Pixi, but don’t have a lot of experience with their products. What should I try first?
If you’re going to try something, I say go with their lipsticks or lip balms. I love them both!
What a great selection! I love the sound of the plum berry lipstick & the slant tip liner would be perfect for me!
Plum Berry is SO pretty, you’d love it!
These look nice. I’m thinking the lippies would be worth investigating, for sure.
They offer a ton of other gorgeous shades online!
Oh my gosh, those lipsticks look gorgeous! I also like the tip on that liner pen, it looks easy to use.
I love the applicator tip too, so easy! Pixi offers a ton of other great shades in this lipstick formula as well, now I want them all haha
I this brand at Target all the time, but haven’t bought anything from it yet. The eyeliner looks amazing!
You should check it out, everything has great quality! 🙂
I’ve tried only couple of things from Pixi but loved them and I’m really tempted to try more products. Those lipsticks look and sound great! x
Mummy’s Beauty Corner
The lipsticks are heavenly, I highly suggest! 🙂
I love the look of both those lippies. And that liquid eyeliner. I’ve actually never seen a liquid liner with a slanted tip lol.
Isn’t is a cool idea? It makes it so easy to apply!
Pure fuchsia is so pretty!
It’s such a fun color to wear!
Plum Berry is very red on me, one of the prettiest reds I own. My favorite product is the gel brow pencil. I’ll be buying this again and again.
I like the brow gel pen too, though it does need to be sharpened quite often!
Those lipsticks are so pretty! I can’t wait to see them in action!
I want to try all the shades now, they are so pretty!
I love the lippies but the eyeliner smudged big time 🙁
Oh no! I heard a few people say that, I tested it out a few times, and never had that issue. I have pretty normal lids, not oily not dry, so maybe I got lucky!
What a fantastic box of goodies! The lippies are so stunning!
They are so pretty, I can’t wait to try the other shades they offer!
Those lipsticks look absolutely gorgeous! Especially the berry.
Berry is my favorite, so pretty for fall!
Loving the lip shades!
Aren’t they gorgeous?!
I love the concept of the matte lustre lipsticks and a brow gel in pencil forms sounds really interesting too 🙂 xx
Jasmine Talks Beauty
The brow gel pen is a great little invention, it’s so quick and easy!
I love those lipsticks! I wasn’t a fan of the liner… it was too wet on me and didn’t set well regardless of what I did. Even with primers my lids are jerks =(
I heard quite a few others say they had issues with it too, but mine never smudged or anything. Maybe I got a good batch!
Those lippies are GORGEOUS!
I can’t wait to try some other shades!
Pure Fuchsia is calling my name for sure!
It’s the perfect hot pink!
I have never tried Pixi, though I check it out everytime I go to Target. I need to pick some things up it looks like. 🙂

Isn’t their packaging so cute?! It always sucks me in when I’m at Target (as if I don’t spend enough there lol)
I bought 2 of the lipsticks and LOVE them! I would probably have bought the entire collection but I’m trying to pace myself.
I totally understand, I want to try them all now too…not sure my husband would approve of that expense lol I can’t wait to see which shades you got!
