First Impressions On New Skincare From Fresh Beauty and Pixi

It’s been a little while since I last did a first impression on new skincare items. In fact, it’s been almost 6 months, oops. So I thought I’d talk about some of the products I bought at the Glamour Beauty Event in March.

At the beauty event, two of my favourite skincare brands were there; Fresh Beauty and Pixi Beauty. I have tried a few different Fresh Beauty items in the past generally from trips to the States. And of course, the Pixi glow tonic has been quite essential for me in the past.

I picked up two Fresh mini’s at the event and one in a mini’s set I got at Christmas. They’re all from the Rose range as this is the hydrating range which is the best thing for my skin. Then from Pixi Beauty, I picked up two full-sized items, including a tonic I’d never seen before and something else from the Glow Range.

New Skincare: Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream Review

Now the first thing I am going to say is that sadly I am not the biggest fan of the rose scent. This range, therefore, may seem like a strange choice then but if a product works I can deal with the scent. Thankfully the deep hydrating face cream isn’t too heavy a scent. The cream itself is quite thick so it’s definitely more of an evening cream as I think you’d need to wait quite a while before putting your makeup on top of it.

As soon as I put the cream on my skin actually felt a bit plumper so the hydrating seemed to sink straight in. And even an hour or so later I could still feel it on my skin a little. I love this as too often I put cream on then 10 minutes later it doesn’t feel like I’ve done anything. My first impressions of this are really good.

Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner Review

Now onto the Deep Hydration Facial Tonic. Before I talk about the product itself I have to mention the beauty of it. As there are real rose petals inside it looks absolutely stunning, and strangely enough, doesn’t smell too much.

I have mixed feelings about tonics as some seem to strip the skin a lot which thankfully this wasn’t. In fact, my skin felt a little tacky afterwards which was a nice change from how drying some tonics are. I’m not convinced I’ve noticed a real difference so far after using this but maybe it just needs more time.

New skincare: Fresh Rose Face Mask Review Review

I’ve had the Fresh Rose Face Mask for a little longer but as it’s a mask (and I own so many) I’ve only used it a few times. This is the item with the strongest smell which is quite overpowering when you first use it. But it is a really fresh scent which is better than an overly artificial/ chemical smell.

This mask only needs to stay on for 5-10 minutes which is my favourite type of mask. Other than the odd weekend or early evening I don’t tend to have 20-30 minutes to lay with a mask on. So for this one, I can quickly pop it on while I’m sorting things out in my room and before you know it it’s time to come off.

Like the cream, I talked about earlier this has a similar effect and makes my skin feel really plumped and fresh. There’s certainly been a bounce to my skin after using this so the hydration is instantly obvious.

A great little mask for those looking for an extra hydrating boost but want something pretty quick to use.

Pixi Glow Tonic Cleansing Gel Review

The first thing I noticed when I squeezed the Glow Tonic Cleansing Gel out of the tube is how runny it is so it’s a little messy to use. But sometimes skincare needs to be messy.

I am a big fan of foaming cleansers and sadly this one didn’t foam up or seem to be doing too much on the surface of the skin. I’d definitely say this is more of a morning softer cleanser than a deeper evening cleanser. There was no harshness or real deep cleansing feeling which can be a good thing depending on when you use it.

It did have the classic Pixi glow feeling afterwards and my skin looked brighter and more glowy. So definitely a good thing for pre-makeup application.

Pixi Milky Tonic Review

Recently there feels like there have been a lot of new Pixi Tonics out. There’s been retinal and jasmine ones which I have previously tried. But I’d never seen the Milky Tonic before the Beauty Event so I’m not sure if it was brand new then.

This is made from Milk and Oat and is described as a soothing toner. I have drier skin which can be quite sensitive on occasion so this seemed like a great one to try. While some stronger tonics can sting my skin this was really refreshing.

I get a lot of redness on my cheeks and it seemed toned down after using this is. Plus it was pretty cooling which was nice when the weather recently got pretty warm. I think I need to continue using this more to see if it’s going to do any more to my skin but if you’ve got sensitive skin this could be the Pixi Tonic for you.

What skincare have you been trying out lately?
