Multi-Tasking Magic: Pixi Eye Beauty Kit

Dina Fierro — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 20:20:46 +0000

My desk drawer resembles a vanity more closely than it resembles a work space. Truth be told, have a giant assortment of beauty must-haves from the basics (toothbrush, anyone?) to the not-so (an Evian Brumisateur – why not?) Of course, included in the mix are some of my favorite makeup goodies, like the Pixi Eye Beauty Kit.

This slim (really, it’s not much wider than a credit card), smart palette packs a punch with eight – count ‘em, EIGHT shades of color rich shadows. I love that it takes up such a small amount of space yet gives me so much variety!

You can snag this smarty-pants palette from the Pixi collection at Target $28.

Purse Essential: NP Set Concealer Palette

In response to the recession, value-driven, smart shopping has soared and women everywhere are tweaking the ways in which they shop for beauty products. The latest trend has emerged in the form of smart, multi-use makeup palettes and double-duty products. The NP Set for Target collection has a few great picks that fit the bill, including the Concealer Palette.

This smart palette boasts five shades of creamy concealer. When blended, you can create customized solutions for nearly any complexion imperfection, from blemishes to dark circles. Now, if you’re ultra-fair or have a darker skin tone, this product might not work for you…but overall, the ability to blend makes this Concealer Palette a winner for the vast majority of women.

If you’re freaked out by the odd blue hue on the far left…don’t be! Try dabbing it on yellow-toned dark circles alone or mixing it with a yellow-er shade to create a creamy green concealer for redness.
