A Bright Start With Pixi Beauty's Vitamin C Line

Recently I was introduced to a colleague of my mom's, and she gave me one of the nicest compliments I've ever received.
"WOW. You don't look like a new mom, you look so fresh!"
Of course I was extremely flattered. Though little did she know, I had been up 3 or 4 times with Elliott that night and needed 2 big cups of coffee just to pretend that I was a functioning adult. So how did I pull it off?
I'll let you folks in on my little skincare secret; I swear by products with vitamin C. You don't have to be a new mom to reap the benefits of this miracle ingredient, either. Even pre-baby, I regularly reached for anything radiance-boosting because I love how it amps up my natural glow (or helps me to fake one after sleepless nights).
Fool everyone into thinking you're a morning person with this Vitamin-C infused lineup from Pixi Beauty! |
Half asleep but beaming with happiness over how glowy my skin is! |
You can imagine how excited I am to share Pixi Beauty's complete Vitamin C line with you all! Each product is packed with antioxidants and probiotics to moisturize, protect and of course brighten your skin. As always, these Pixi beauties are vegan, and free of gluten, parabens & pthalates.
After testing these 5 products for the last few weeks, I'm confident there is something for everyone in this citrus-y collection! Whether you're shopping for an all-new beauty routine, or just looking to infuse some glow-y goodness into your existing skincare lineup; allow me to break it down for you all!
This is what I get for interrupting Phoebe's naptime. Needless to say, she's not a morning person either (especially when photoshoots are involved). |
Pixi Beauty Vitamin C Tonic - $20 CAD
If you already have a well-established skincare routine but want to dip your toes into this juicy line, this tonic is a great intro product to try.
It's a great toner to use after cleaning and before your moisturizer, because it essentially primes your skin for hydration while infusing its barrier with added protection. Much like the other tonics in Pixi's range, this works as a gentle exfoliant to wipe away dullness and reveal more luminous skin.
Pixi Beauty Vitamin C Lotion - $34 CAD
My husband loved Pixi's Rose line (he is to blame for using up the last of my Rose Ceramide Cream) and has claimed this moisturizer for himself. I can't even be mad though, because it has given his skin a gorgeous, healthy glow that only makes his tan look even more radiant. Actually, I am mad; that man can get a golden tan within 5 seconds of being outside, and here I am turning 50 shades of pink. Rude.
Anyway, this lotion is a great everyday moisturizer because it, much like the aforementioned Rose Cream, is rich without being heavy. My husband also wants me to point out that it smells delicious (actually this entire range smells like a creamsicle dream).
Pixi Beauty Vitamin C Serum - $34 CAD
A few drops of this liquid gold and you'll be a glistening goddess. If you need an extra hit of hydration in your routine, reach for this stuff. While I enjoy it on its own, I love it even more mixed in with my daily moisturizer. It makes my skin even more soft and supple, and the glow is UNREAL.
Try it mixed in your foundation and thank me later.
Pixi Beauty Vitamin C Juice Cleanser - $24 CAD
This product totally caught me off guard in the best way possible. The idea of a waterless cleanser kind of threw me for a loop, but once I gave it a whirl I was hooked!
I love to start my day by swiping this on my face with a cottonpad. It's a great way to wipe off any nighttime grime without overwashing or stripping your face. It's so invigorating like a tall glass of freshly squeezed OJ. Plus it sets the scene for the rest of my skincare and/or makeup.
Pixi Beauty Vitamin C Caviar Balm - $34 CAD
I think it's safe to say this will be a night owl's holy grail, because it will get you glowing faster than you can hit the snooze button.
This caviar balm is essentially the Vitamin C Lotion on steroids. It is packed with little pearls that melt into the skin and release a radiant dose of vitamin C for the glowiest, gleamiest, gorgeousiest (it's a word) skin of your life. I've started using this as my night cream because I wake up looking like I actually slept, which we all know now is a straight up lie. Secret's out.
