Pixi H2O Skinttint Review

So beautiful people, I am here with another review, but this time it's on one of my favorite types of makeup products- foundation. Well, more accurately it's a skin tint, but it serves the same purpose- to even out skin tone. I have a lot of redness on my face and my skin tone is not exactly even, so for me it's usually necessary to have something to correct that.
This summer my favorite face product has been the Pixi Beauty H2O Skintint. This is described on pixibeauty.com as "Water-based tinted face gel that evens out skin tone and gives complexion a flawless no-makeup look. " They are also all neutral tones which is one of the reasons this product works best for me. I personally have very fair skin with a neutral undertone and I have had a very hard time finding BB creams or anything lightweight that I could wear. Though I have used and really liked my Rimmel London BB cream 9-in-1 Super Makeup, it was a few shades too dark and only really looked ok-ish after I tanned a bit on vacation. After John bought me the Pixi skin tint that I not-so-subtly hinted at wanting, for our anniversary, I fell in love instantly.

So why do I love this so much? Even though the coverage isn't anywhere near full, it cancels out redness incredibly well while still being very light feeling and comfortable to wear. The other thing that really drew me to this was the cooling feeling it gives upon application. Even though you definitely would want use a  concealer with this to hide any imperfections,  I feel like this is the best face product  for summer. The only issue I have is that  It doesn't have any SPF. So what I have been using with it is in part to prep my oily skin, is the Murad oil free mattifying lotion SPF 15.  Which I will be reviewing and buying  the full  size of as soon as possible.

The only other problem with this  item is the color selection. It comes  in three shades:  "cream" is the lightest, "nude" is their medium  shade, and "Warm" is the darkest Shade, which  contrary to what it's name suggests is still a  neutral tone.  As you could guess the color range isn't spectacular, but it's still an amazing product and, in my opinion, worth it for Pixi to expand the shade selection. I really think this is a great product no matter what age you are. It doesn't settle into lines or make your face look cakey, and it's very light weight.
I've also noticed my skin looks better when it doesn't have makeup on it, and I'm thinking that this product is really helping since it's more sanitary than some of my other foundations. It has a pump, so you aren't sticking your fingers or anything in the product and all you have to do it squirt out a small amount on the back of your hand and apply with clean fingers. You probably wouldn't want to use a brush for this or it could look a bit streaky, and if you are like me and sometimes forget to clean brushes, this can cause acne.
Interested in buying this? You can find it a pixibeauty.com or at your local Target. It's $24, but this stuff is really worth it! Until next time!!
