About a month ago, I was at Target and hauled a bunch of the new Pixi Skintreats products. One of them was the Nourishing Lip Polish ($12) and I've been dying to do a quick review on this because I've really been enjoying it...it's like no other lip polish you've tried! Let's take a look...
Decsription: This 2-in-1 lip exfoliator + nourisher helps to repair & protect dry, sensitive lips. Luxe, nutrient-rich formula smoothes lips with shea butter & a blend of sweet almond, apricot, and evening primrose oils. The unique massage applicator stimulates circulation, giving a healthy, plumped effect.
Price/Where to Buy: $12 at Target.com and select Target stores (that carry Pixi Beauty).
Quick Verdict: This is a really unique mess-free lip scrub...I love it!
When I first purchased this, I assumed it was like any other lip scrub...a balm with a gritty texture that I'd apply from the tube and then use my finger to scrub it back and forth on my lips before tissuing it off.
But then I opened the cap and realized that the applicator is the part that scrubs. It has little silicone nubbies that are flexible so they move back and forth as you move it across your lips. It feels really soft and not scratchy at all, and it feels like you're giving your lips a nice massage. Once you're finished, your lips look a little plumper due to increased circulation, although the effect is temporary.
The balm inside is liquidy, more like like a gloss and it feels silky smooth and hydrating. It also tastes sweet, like sugar! There's no mess involved in applying this at all, just swipe it back and forth and then leave it on as a treatment balm. I like to use it just before bed and then leave the balm on overnight. If my lips are extra dry, I'll layer the Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask on top.
Overall, I love how this lip polish is a one-step wonder. There's no dipping your fingers into a pot and no need to remove the product when you're finished. You could use this anywhere without a problem, because it's not any more complicated than applying a lip balm. The slim tube is also very travel friendly...I plan to pick up another one to throw in my purse since this one has earned a place on my nightstand.
You can grab this now at Target.com and select Target stores where Pixi is sold.
That is the best thing ever! Why has no one thought of this before? I have so many lip scrubs that I rarely even use because I don't feel like doing all the steps. I could do this driving to work in the morning or at my desk.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Everyone will just think you're applying lip balm, haha.
DeleteI bought this last week during a Target run and its amazing. I love how the little bumps on the applicator feel like a massage and the balm is nice and hydrating. Its really convenient and I plan on buying another for my best friend who is always complaining about her chapped lips. She's gonna freak!
ReplyDeleteI agree, its super convenient! :)
DeleteHuh. Very interesting concept. I'll definitely look out for this next time I go to Target; I already have a list of things I want to buy from their new Skintreats line!
