Only Pleasant Dreams with Pixi Beauty Sleep Cream

This was provided to me by a brand for review and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post but all opinions are my own.

Pixi Beauty Sleep Cream

Get some pleasant dreams with the new Pixi Beauty Sleep Cream ($22)! Pixi Beauty Sleep Cream is a “rich night cream” that contains 100% natural mango butter, plus oils of lavender, lemon and bergamot.

At first I confused this week a sleep pack of sorts but it is in fact a moisturizer. It comes housed in a 1.18 oz tube with an attached plump. Just a note many of Pixi’s newest Skintreats like the H20 Skin Drink and Glowtion Day Cream come in this packaging and thus far I had no problem. However, I struggled with the pump on the Beauty Sleep Cream a little bit. This could be a fluke but it deserved mentioning that I had a real problem getting the product flow out of the pump!

I’m really like many of Pixi’s newest skincare products but many of them contain a good deal of fragrance which could be a deal breaker for a lot of people. Pixi Beauty Sleep Cream sadly falls victim to that issue. This has a really, really strong lavender fragrance. Lavender oil has also been known to irritate skin so just keep that in mind prior to purchasing. I don’t mind fragrance in my skin care but I’m not a fond fan of the scent of lavender so it did kind of make me curl my nose up. It’s a scent that lingers as well.

I had my doubts about the formula.

Do Indulge in Purplecat Creatives Body Butter

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Purplecat Creatives Body Butter

You might recall me mentioning Purplecat Creatives in my recent 5 Etsy Indie Fragrance Houses You Simply Must Try for Yourself post. I admit I have a lot of indie fragrance spots I like to purchase from but Purplecat Creatives is a fond favorite of mine!

I decided to indulge in some of Purplecat Creative Body Butter recently. I wasn’t thinking of layering with these because her fragrances are already very strong all their own. But I thought I’d skip the fragrance on Summer days and rely on her body butters for a moisture as well as a lighter layer of fragrance instead. I hadn’t yet tried anything else from her shop aside from her perfumes so this was a good excuse to spoil myself as she has a few limited edition fragrances like Caramel Pretzel that I wanted to try.

In Chuck and Bobbi Brown We Trust

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

I’m just going to throw it out there and say I love the idea that Chuck is God’s meat suit.

That is all.

Oh wait, and also, I’m going to say I really love the new Bobbi Brown University Eye Palette ($60) because apparently it’s big and affordable. Typically Bobbi’s 12 pan eyeshadow palettes run a hell of a lot more than $60 big ones so I’m thinking it must be my lucky day. Too bad the colors are so very Fall-like! Why can’t this be a big old selection of peach colors. My obsession with peach eyeshadow continues since Too Faced Sweet Peach and Etude House Juice Bar just didn’t quite cut it.

Bobbi Brown University Eye Palette

The University Eye Palette was inspired my professional eyeshadow sets used by Bobbi.

Shades include:

  • Ivory (creamy white)
  • Cream Metallic (creamy beige)
  • Stone Metallic (beige silvery brown)
  • Antique Rose (rosy brown)
  • Birch (rosy brown)
  • Heather (medium grey violet)
  • Fog (deep slate grey)
  • Black Charcoal (blackest grey)
  • Caviar (black brown)
  • Black Plum (deep black plum)
  • Ivy (dark green)
  • Navy (deep navy blue)

About those peach shades, who remembers Bobbi Brown Cabana Corals? Those were the days!
But if you’re gun-ho on the University Eyeshadow Palette you can grab it up now at nordstrom.com.
