Makeup artist and mum Petra Strand created the line of multipurpose products to help busy women look like themselves, only more gorgeous.  The new Pixi products allow any woman to attain a flawless, glowing face and alluring eyes with ease.  The new collection launched at Target stores nationwide and online at Target.com in March 2010.   Whom You Know critiqued the Lumi Luxe Bronzer Palette and we love the natural sheen it gives us, and it has fooled everyone into thinking that Peachy has a peachy tan!  Of course the secret is in the Pixi powder, which glides on like a charm and gives you that glow you need, even if you are crabby on a Monday you look happy.  The spring green case of course appeals to our Irishness at Whom You Know...and everyone Irish needs bronzer!!!

Lumi Luxe Bronzer Palette ($25)

An essential summer accessory, this fairy adorned Pixi palette has four awakening bronzing shades for all-over use.  These bronzers look pretty in the palette, but even more gorgeous on skin, with the most flattering rose and petal pink mixed with nude bronzing shades.  The all-natural mineral formula is so soft that they can even be applied with fingers. 

Key ingredients: Soothing natural pigments, skin strengthening magnesium, gently mattifying kaolin, skin protecting vitamin E, nourishing shea butter and skin treating jojoba. 

Petra’s Insider’s tip: “Use this compact as an instant pick-me–up dream. I love that there are no brushes needed. Simply sweep color over your lids, one on your cheeks and one under your gloss or balm on your lips.”
