Pixy UV Whitening Two Way Cake in Tropical Beige

Hi guys...

I'm back with another post. Sorry for not updating my blog... I have this "tamad" attitude on doing things haha you know na... moody talaga ang mga buntis!

I'll be sharing today my review of Pixy UV Whitening Two Way Cake in Tropical Beige (12.2g) which I got as a prize as Commenter of the Month in this post. I have been wanting to try Pixi products ever since it arrived in the Philippines, but unfortunately, it's not available in Cebu. I got so excited that I got this one as a prize :)

Pixy UV Whitening Two Way Cake in Tropical Beige has a Perfectly fit formula giving smooth and long lasting finish to cover skin imperfections. Enriched with Squalane Oil to prevent dry skin. The 2-way whitening formula, from combination of Natural Whitening Powder, Vitamin C derivate and Sunscreen protects skin against sun rays and makes your skin fairer.

Direction:

Apply evenly using dry sponge for natural finish and wet sponge for perfect covered and long lasting finish.

Caution:

Avoid heat and direct sunlight. Do not stay too long in the sun, even while using a sunscreen product.

The compact is slim but sturdy and has a huge mirror and a very nice sponge.

Originally have 8 shades: Golden Beige, Ivory, Oriental Yellow, White Cream but locally we only have 4 shades available: Natural White, Yellow Beige, Natural Beige and the shade I got which is Tropical Beige -  (the darkest shade) 

Swatch...

On my face: Pixy UV Whitening Two Way Cake in Tropical Beige...

What I like about Pixy UV Whitening Two Way Cake:

Staying Power is average, can last 4-5 hours
It has smooth and blendable texture
It's fragrance free
Gives me good coverage even if worn alone
Nice and usable sponge
It gives me a matte finish
Clinically tested

Has Squalane Oil to prevent dry skin

Has SPF 15 that protects skin against sun rays

Affordable priced of Php 275.00/12.2g
I liked that it has a huge mirror

What I don't like about Pixy UV Whitening Two Way Cake:

Packaging is a bit bulky, I prefer smaller compact
It has a tendency to cake
Limited shades are available in the Philippines, not yet available in Cebu and other provinces

Will I repurchase?
Not for the moment since I have two other brands waiting to be tested out :)

For Best Results: 
Dot concealer onto imperfections or under eyes. Pat with finger to blend.

Covers everything beautifully without ever looking cakey. Lasts all day.

After application: I felt the natural coverage which concealed my slightly dark under eyes and my skin looks hydrated.
