Pixi by Petra cosmetics

We first stumbled on Pixi’s line in New York’s Henri Bendel cosmetics floor about six years ago. Bendel’s used to be a haven for many newer, trendy make up brands looking to break through the retail market (much more than it is today).

A few weeks later while ambling along London’s Carnaby Street in London, we discovered their shop (flagship is a bit of a grand description for the place) and bumped into one of the proprietresses, Sarah, whom we had met weeks before in the US. We were treated to an excellent showing of the range of their line (two sisters who established this company).

Pixi by Petra palettes available at Target

Happily, after not seeing the products for several years, we did have the pleasant surprise of seeing their ‘diffusion’ line offered at Target (similar to that done by artists Jemima Kidd and Napoleon Perdis for the company).

Nice workable hues with several options per palette. Refreshing and affordable.

    I adore Pixie—I’ve been wondering were to find the range of the line since the Carnaby Street shop went under—-many ta-s as always Cherry—you’ve got the goods. (and the Lo Down) a bientot. Enjoy Tokyo….saw your guy….know you DO (who wouldn’t with that arm candy??)

    I work on sets doing make up in LA and truly I think the quality of the Kashuk, Pixi, Perdis, and Kidd lines are really as good as department brand products. Maybe not Alcone or MaxFactor professional grade, but that makes blending and application more complicated.

    I really enjoy your commentary, you seem to know your brands well. Keep it up. If you ever need a foreign correspondent, I’d love to go to Japan!
