This palette has a mean secret compartment, I tell ya! I didn't discover the blush until I was already writing this entry, so I had to take pictures all over again! Pretty nifty packaging, though. The Pixi Glow Fairy Face Palette contains 5 eye colours, 3-colour blush palette, 5 lip creams + duo applicator, blush brush, duo lip applicator. It's a lot of product in one compact package. The shades are not individually named, but you can see how they look like anyway via the photos.
Eyeshadows:
The eye shadows are all quite shimmery. I kinda wished they included a matte crease color in this palette because all of the shadows are very shimmery and I kinda wished I have a shade in this palette to tone them down. However, the shades are really pretty and I am liking the softer shades for inner corner highlight and lower lid washes. I am particularly liking the champagne shimmer and the peachy one. They are really soft, pretty shades that will work well for summer.
Lip creams:
The lip creams are like creamy lipsticks in pans. The consistency is okay, not too slippery but not too dry. I also like that the shades are saturated but not too heavy, either, because people usually like soft shades for the warmer months. I surprisingly like all the colors except the light pink one. Even though they look really dark in the pans, they look lighter and wearable on the lips.
Blush:
Ahh, the secret blush! It took me a long while to find out that it exists, duh! It is a multi-shade shimmer blush. It is not as pigmented as I have hoped for, but I'm thinking that it can work as a great highlighter on the cheekbones come summer time, as the shimmer is really pretty. It gives a nice soft pink sheen, which again is perfect for warmer season.
All in all, this is a good summer palette because the shades are shimmery and not too heavily-saturated with pigment. The blush is a perfect highlighter on the cheekbones and temples for a dewy fresh look. I am especially liking the lip creams because they are easily applied and they are very wearable shades. If you are not into shimmer shadows, I would say skip this palette because the shadows are all about shimmer. However, you can opt to use a shimmer shadow from this kit as a wash on your lids, then use a matte crease color to balance things out.
