Pixy Almond Milk Face Scrub Review
by Nina Bargin Beauty - 03/05/13 - Beauty Blogger
Today's review is on the newest item from Pixy (Along with my big haul of items I got from the site :)
The Almond Milk Face Scrub. I was a tad bit wary about getting this because funny enough there is not many reviews about it but to tell you the truth thats what made me want to buy it more. I love trying out products that dont have many reviews about them as I like the surprise :)
The scrub comes in a tin like container with a screw on/off lid and there is 50g of product which costs 9.95 euro :) which is a bargain believe me :)
When I opened up the container I was greeted with the strong scent of almond mmmmmmmm delish :)
As you can see the tin is jammed to the top that there is even some product on the lid I love that. Lol when i seen this first it made me thing of frog spawn lol sorry I just had to share that come on does it not look like frog spawn to you :) Comment below :) Anyhooooooo I had high hopes for this and tried it out straight away.
The instructions is straight forward basically
Wet your face , Apply a small amount to your face , Massage gently using circular motions And rinse off using warm water.
Let me tell you now this stuff is super thick so you really only need a small amount to do your entire face :)
When the scrub meets your warm face it instantly softens up and you get this amazing whiff of Almond as you massage. It reminds me of Christmas every time I use this even though I dont like Christmas cake I love the smell of marzipan and it smells like that :)
The beads look big but they are not at all rough on the face as long as you do not scrub vigorously. The scrub does not lather in any way and sort of feels a little oily while you was washing but once you rinse it off that oily feeling is gone.
My skin felt smooth and I did not have that dry tight feeling I get from some facial scrubs I have used in the past. The fact that this scrub has all the nice natural ingredients in it make it even more pleasurable to use :)
This scrub is so gentle to use that you could get away with using it everyday but to be honest I dont I would use this 3 times a week depending on how much I feel I need to use it.
I have to say I do love this and if you are an apricot lover You will love this. I cant say I prefer this over the Pixy Cleansing Mud because I dont It surely comes first but I do recommend This scrub to you all to try out :)
Well thats it for today :) Have you tried this Scrub out yet?
Latest Lovelies, Tried & Tested - Pixy Mani
by Joanne Larby - Make up Fairy 02/05/13 - Beauty Blogger
Hands are so important in many ways; romantic research has proven that both males and females can be influenced in their attraction to the opposite sex, yes you’ve guessed it, by their hands! ‘He’s got lovely hands’ has been uttered by many a swooning female. Our hands are constantly exposed to all sorts of elements, the weather, air conditioning, household chemicals, gardening, holding very hot or cold drinks etc., all play a role when it comes to the condition of our hands. The skin on our hands can also reveal our age, but dry and dehydrated skin won’t give a good reading. So put your hands together for Pixy’s nature induced hand products that will have you saying ‘I love my hands!’
It’s so irritating when you buy a hand cream that leaves greasy paw prints over everything you touch and takes forever to absorb into your skin. Thankfully, Pixy’s Coconut Hand Cream €9.99 contains no nasty greasy parabens. Beeswax, Cocoa and Shea Butters create the baseline that soften the skin, and these butters quite literally melt into the skin like butter on warm toast. Apricot oil, known for its healing and soothing properties, improves elasticity and nurses dry skin. Coconut Oil gives it a wonderful tropical aroma, but being natural oil, it also contains antibacterial properties to deep cleanse and condition the skin. All these ingredients have fatty acid components, ensuring easy absorption for deep and long lasting moisture that leaves no oily residue, just lovely soft hands. I keep this tin in a bowl beside my bed and apply it before I sleep; the smell is divine and the texture is light yet nourishing. Even when I have applied it and have to reply to e-mails on my laptop it’s light enough to not add a layer of grease to my keyboard which is a major bonus.
To deep cleanse and nourish the cuticle and nail bed, Pixy’s Lemon Cuticle Balm €5.99 in this adorable heart shaped tub is just perfect. This product is related to Coconut Hand Cream so it also contains the benefits of Beeswax, Cocoa and Shea Butters. Cuticle skin is different to the skin on our pretty paws; cuticles act like soldiers that protect the nail bed. For deep moisture Calendula oil penetrates and softens cuticles whilst feeding the nail bed. The magical zingy zesty lemon scent is created by Lemon Myrtle essential oil that also works as a strong but gentle disinfectant to heal and prevent nasty nail conditions, like *shudder fungus. I use the Coconut Hand Cream on just washed dry hands twice a day; once after a shower and once before bed. Afterwards I apply Lemon Cuticle Balm in mini circular movements around the edge of my nails.

Pixy Pedi Gift Set
by High Life of Mars 29/04/13 Blogger
So two weeks back I spoke about the Pixy Lime Body Scrub Cubes, which I picked up at the Cork City Hall Craft’s Fair. Well I also picked up this lovely Pixy Pedi Gift Set. The gift set contains two popular Pixy products, the Solid Foot Scrub and Peppermint Foot Cream.
First up is the Solid Foot Scrub. This product is such a good idea. It is basically a loofah, wrapped up in cocoa butter and essential oils. The essential oils such as citrus, lavender, tea tree and cedarwood gives it a wonderful scent, while also helping it to be antibacterial. The loofah will really help to exfoliate the feet and get rid of any dead skin, while the cocoa butter melts into the skin and moisturises the feet. Not too unlike the Lime Body Scrub Cubes, it is a dual purpose product as it exfoliates and moisturises in one step. Also similar is how slippy it will make your feet and shower floor, so be careful!
The second product in the set, the Peppermint Foot Cream, is probably my favourite Pixy product of all time. Now I am usually not the biggest fan of minty type scents but this product smells amazing. It smells almost exactly like Mint Aero bars, which I love. I honestly think I could layer this product on every night and not get sick of the scent. However it does make me crave chocolate something awful. But besides how awesome it smells, this product is actually really good for your feet. It contains lots of lovely ingredients that help soften the skin while the peppermint essential oil really helps cool down the skin. Which is lovely, if you are after giving the feet a good exfoliation.
So I really love this gift set. I think it’s a brilliant set to get anyone for their birthday or just cause. Both products are winners and at just €16.95, it’s great value too. I think any mother, sister or friend alike would love this as a gift. Or just do what I did and treat yourself!
Read more about our Pixy Pedi Gift Set €16.95
Pixy's Spa Fresh Shower Mousse - €12.95
You are getting 300mls of product for 12.95 euro which in my eyes is well worth it believe me.
It warns you on the site to be careful while having this in the shower as the container is glass and to be honest they are right as its a very fragile glass very thin and if it did by any chance fall it will surely smash on the first fall. This jar is actually very light weight even though it looks big which is great from travelling just make sure if you are bringing this on travel to wrap it up amongst your clothing so that if your bag falls it will not break. Another thing I noticed is that once you open this and the pouffe is released you will have to keep the pouffe separate to keep the jar sealed if you try to put pouffe back in it will spring up and the lid will come off so wait until you have used it a while before placing it back in.
To use you simply dip the pouffe on top of the mousse make sure not to dig in because you will take up too much. A little goes a long long way in the above picture you will see the amount of the pouffe and that literally does your whole body because once in contact with your wet skin this amount lathers up something serious I couldnt believe it myself. Oh boy ladies and gent the moment you apply this to your body its like rolling around on cotton wool. It feels AMAZING!!!!! Its so soft and the scent is released straight away. HEAVEN!!!!!
Spa Fresh smells absolutely devine. Spa Fresh contains primrose and peach kernel oils to leave your skin soft and supple. I actually can not describe the scent but I can tell you that it sort of reminds me of soap they made years ago the soap my mum used to buy when I was a kid. I think it was actually the Palmolive Soap the green one. It reminds me so much of that. So every time I have a shower with this it brings me back to my childhood :) :) Awwwww If you want to smell extra clean this is surely the one to go for. :) I love it :)
The best thing about this is when i usually step out of the shower my body instantly feels dehydrated as i suffer with dry skin but with this I didnt feel the need to moisturise even though I still do anyway. Also the scent lingers on the skin for the most part of the day which is brilliant. Even now as i sit here typing this I am sniffing my arm and am in bliss :) I Absolutely adore this product and I plan to stock up on more scents for sure I have already cleared an area on my dresser from them lol Have you ever tried these if not why not believe me you will love them :)
I hope you enjoyed my review Check out the Pixy Website for these :) Pixy also ships internationally and there is free shipping to all Irish customers :)

Pixy Lime Body Cubes Review
Eimear Byrne Makeup -18th April 2013
I'm back again today with some more brilliant body buys!
As most of you know I went to the Irish Beauty Show in the RDS back in March, and of course I had to stop by the Pixy stand to pick up some goodies :)
Prior to the show I had used several of the companies bath bombs which I adore and also their coconut lip balm. For Valentines Day I had given my auntie Edna one of the Pixy gift sets and she instantly fell in love with the products, a favourite of hers being the oatmeal soap slice!
Naturally, we couldn't wait to explore the stand at the beauty show.I knew exactly what I wanted I was a woman on a mission, I headed straight for those blissful bath bombs! To date I have tried the Pixy Coconut (review here), Limelight and Tutti Fruity bath bombs. I received a small size version of the Limelight and Tutti Fruity Bath Bombs with my last order, as I got a taster for these two I knew I needed the full size..especially in 'Limelight'.After reading several posts on the Lime Boy Scrub Cubes I knew I had to pick up these bad boys to see if they lived up to all the hype.I'm delighted to say they did!
Lime Body Scrub Cubes. (€4.99)
I am always extremely weary of using new skin care products, exfoliating products in particular. I have highly sensitive skin and break out too frequently from products for my liking!
However, I am slightly put at ease and more inclined to use the product when I read that the product contains only natural ingredients.
Which is the case with this product :)
Of course the cubes are made from mother natures finest ingredients..cocoa butter, apricot oil, vitamin E to name but a few.
First of all I will say if you are a fan of Loop the Loop Ice Pops....you may have to restrain yourself. These cubes smell exactly like the ice pops, my god they are good enough to eat!
I love how versatile these little cubes are. The top of the cubes act as a moisturiser while the bottom end of the cube is ideal for exfoliating the skin.
I decided to use these while I was lying in the bath, purely because I am a bit of a clutz and knowing me I would probably have slipped in the shower haha!
I started off by using the bottom end of the cube, the exfoliating portion and lightly buffed this over my skin. I suffer from eczema and after treatment my skin can be left very dry and flaky so I was hoping the cube would remove the flaky patches. I then flipped the cube and decided to then use the moisturising side to sooth my skin.
I was quite surprised that one little cube went along way I had some left over so I decided to use this on the sides of my feet. I did gymnastics for about 14 years so as you can imagine between chalking and tumbling my poor feet have been through the wars. The cubes made a huge difference after one use the skin on my feet was definitely not as tough to the touch.
I have found the cubes to be also brilliant for removing fake tan, not that I wear it often but at least I now know I can remove it quickly with ease by whipping out these bad boys!
Overall I am extremely impressed with these little lime cubes.
I find that some exfoliators can be quite harsh on the skin and feel quite scratchy to the surface, with the cubes this was not the case.
My highly sensitive skin didn't suffer a break out and my eczema was not irritated, quite the opposite really!
The cubes left my skin feeling silky soft and thankfully not greasy to the touch which I find can happen with some moisturisers.
The Lime Body Scrub Cubes retail at €4.99 for six cubes.
Another bargain buy in my opinion :)
Pixy are currently offering free postage with all orders over €10 within Ireland, perfect time to pick some goodies up if you are interested!
More information can be found on their site.
Have you tried any products from Pixy?
I'm looking for some more bargain buys to check out :D
Thanks for tuning in guys :) Eimear x

Tried and Tested: Soap and shower gel
Evening Herald and Irish Independent - 11/04/13 Newspaper
Pixy Soap Slice was featured in the Evening Herald on the +11th of April in the Woman section and is now on the Independent Woman website. We are delighted it received 5 stars.
I'd say 'the gloves are off', but of course, they are not. Both soap and shower gel work best with exfoliating gloves, and you end up doubly blessed: clean as a whistle and clear of all dead skin cells. But which is better value? Shower gels don't leave behind those annoying slivers; soaps don't leave a wee bit in the tube that you can never get out. Whom shall we deem winner and champion?
PIXY Citrus Spring Soap Slice, €3.99, *****
Made in Ireland and beautifully coloured, sweet smelling plus effective in the getting-your-body-clean department. I used my gloves, which I highly recommend, as you won't get much bang for your cake unless you do. The gloves help you wear down the soap more evenly -- I swear this is true -- and I didn't end up with fiddly broken shards.

Battle of the Cuticle Balms - Pixy vs. Burt's Bees
by Dancing with Disaster - 11/04/13 -Beauty Blogger
Hey ladies,
I hope you are all well. Today's post, as mentioned above is all about the cuticle balms. Honestly I find it so hard to find one that will work on my cuticles. They can be very dry and more often than not will crack and end up sore and irritated. It's not for want of taking care of them, trust me. I use a good intensive hand treatment at least three times a day and I also carry around a cuticle cream/balm/butter in my bag. So after being disappointed more than a few times, I decided to do a little research and the best reviews I could find were all about Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream. So I picked it up at my local chemists. The Pixy Cuticle Balm was not an item I had planned on getting but on a trip to the Irish Beauty Show in The RDS with the girls, I picked it up at the Pixy stand.
I was using the Burt's Bees Lemon Cuticle Butter for about 6 weeks before I switched to Pixy's Lemon Cuticles Balm. The difference between the two are huge. One thing I love about both though and I think it deserves an honourable mention is the scent. It is absolutely beautiful;. If someone could make a candle with this scent (believe me I have looked) I would be all over it. Both smell so yummy and fresh, it's just amazing. Anyway... on to the battle.
First up lets look at Burt's Bees offering. I've already mentioned the scent so I'm not going to go into too much detail. The lemon scent is a very natural scent, not a synthetic type smell which admittedly can be very off putting. The balm itself is incredibly thick and does take some warming up with your fingers before application. It applies on the cuticles almost like an oil slick once massaged into them. Which is fine as long as it's night time and you don't have anything to do. Now, don't get me wrong it does the job, but that oily greasy feeling is a bit of an obstacle for me. It does moisturise the cuticles but once it dries in, it seems to be back to square one. Now I did see an improvement over the few weeks I used it. But this I'm afraid just isn't holy grail material in my books.
The Pixy Lemon Cuticle Balm is my go to cuticle balm, I think it's absolutely beautiful. Its scent is zingy and fresh, and one thing that really sets it apart form it's Burt's Bees counterpart is the size. BB's is 15g in size and Pixy's is about double the size, and at €5.99 for Pixy's, it's also €2 cheaper than Burt's Bees. All that is a great plus but what really makes this product stand out to me is how it melts onto the cuticles, without being oily or greasy. It totally moisturises them and leave them feeling soft, supple and hydrated throughout the day. I have one I keep beside my bed and one I keep in my bag. I love this balm, it does exactly what it says on the tin and more than lives up to its promise. It's also made here in Ireland, which is a nice bonus as, it's always great to support Irish companies. I really think if you want to get your cuticles into great shape, you should buy this. It doesn't disappoint and it wont break the bank! The Pixy hand cream is next on my list to try after the success of this little pot of delight!
That's it for now ladies, I hope you enjoyed. Will you be trying Pixy's Lemon Cuticle Balm?! As always, let me know below.
Until next time xoxo Aundrea
Keeping skincare natural
by Maggie Gibbons , Mayo news - 09/04/13 -Local newspaper
Considering our skin is the largest organ in the body, it’s amazing how little we respect it, dolloping on all sorts of lotions and potions without a thought to what’s in them. Through lengthy research I recently have become more aware, and now read the ingredients carefully before I purchase. The chief culprits are parabens, which are cheap preservatives and apparently highly toxic.
Thankfully, organic ranges are both extensive and freely available. Best of all, many of the really good ones are Irish made.
Pixy Natural Skincare is an Irish company based in Mallow, Co Cork. All products are handmade using fresh, natural ingredients. I’m a huge fan since getting a gift of the Skin Softening Oil (€9.95), which contains jojoba oil, rich in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities. Jojoba can be used on all skin types, even very oily skin, and it smells gorgeous.
Their tin of Rose Cleansing Mud (€9.50) is packed full of beauty ingredients like Rhassoul clay and red clay, both from Morocco. The product is full of minerals that benefit your skin. Everything Pixy makes is free from parabens and Sodium Lauryl Sulphate. The peppermint foot scrub (€8.49) smells great, and is full of smoothing scrubbing particles – a real treat for hard-working tootsies. Products are available at a huge selection of chemists nationwide, and can be ordered online at www.pixy.ie.
Take care of your hands with Pixy
by Lovely Girly Bits - 08/04/13 - Beauty Blogger
I always feel sorry for my hands and nails because they're always the first things that fall to neglect. My cuticles are always in bits, nails are weak, hands are dry and it's out of pure laziness that this all happens. Because I work in a hospital, I'm always washing my hands and using alcohol laden hygienic foams to keep them clean and free from cooties. So they're always really dry and
So I've decided to make a renewed effort to take better care of my paws. Now that Joanne has moved out, I can't rely on her for some quickie nail swatches when I'm stuck, so it's time for Operation Why Aren't You Taking Care Of Your Hands You Big Lazy Oaf.
From Irish brand Pixy, who incidentally has a new stand in one of my local chemists woo hoo! I'll be using the Coconut Hand Cream (€9.99) to help add a bit of hydration into my hands. First impressions are good folks. It smells like holidays thanks to the coconut oil and it also has beeswax, cocoa and shea butter for moisturisation along with apricot oil to improve elasticity. Despite it being a hard cream in the tin, it melts into the skin beautifully and you'll probably see me with hand to nose a lot, breathing in the gorgeous scent.
To go with that, I'll be using the Lemon Cuticle Balm (€5.99). My poor cuticles (or cooticals as I like to say) are in flitters at the moment. I have the worst habit of picking at any dry skin I feel in that area and so I'll be keeping this and the hand cream at my desk to stop me from doing that. Like the coconut hand cream, this has beeswax, cocoa and shea butter along with Calendula oil which penetrates and softens cuticles. The lemon scent is courtesy of Lemon Myrtle essential oil and makes it a joy to use.
There you have it, and men wonder why we take so long to get ready! If only they knew what we got up too! I would love you to share your ritual with me in the comments below. Do you enjoy pampering yourself at home? I certainly enjoy the results!

Pixy Lime Body Scrub Cubes
The High Life of Mars 5th April 2013 - Beauty blogger
I have a review of these Lime Body Scrub Cubes, from the brilliant Irish brand Pixy.
So I actually bought these scrubs way back in December at the Cork City Hall Craft’s Fair. I had won a ticket to it from Pixy on Twitter and I said it would be rude not to check out their stand and maybe pick up a few bits! I got these Body Scrub Cubes, along with a Pedi Gift Set, which I’ll have a review on later in the week.
This review is going to be short and to the point. I love these little cubes of wonder. We all know I love a citrus scent and these are no exception. The lime scent is so refreshing and just smells divine. The cubes are made up of all natural ingredients such as cocoa butter, apricot oil, Vitamin E and of course lime essential oil. The little cube contains micro exfoliators that help scrub off any dead skin (or tan). As you are scrubbing away, the essential oils melt into your skin and leave it feeling lovely and silky smooth. This is a two in one product as it both exfoliates and moisturises.
These cubes of wonder (I’m sorry but the name is staying) are great value too. They cost €4.99 for 6 cubes. One cube is plenty enough to scrub your whole body and then some. I wouldn't recommend using these on your face however as they’d be too harsh. Also, a quick word of warning to clumsy people like me. The essential oils that melt onto your skin also go onto your shower floor and make it very slippy, so be careful! I nearly killed myself in the shower the first time I used them. You can buy Pixy products online or check out their list of stockists here.

Date Night Prep - My go to products
Adoreabubbles 29th March 2013 Blogger
Whether I'm meeting someone special or going out on a girls night I like to go through a little preparation ritual that involves the products above which I will go through shortly. Firstly I would like to express my jealousy at how men and women differ when getting ready for dates and nights out. Having three brothers has given me a great insight into the male preparation ritual. It mainly consists of a trip to the barbers, and the three S's! Shirt, shower and shave. If only us women had it so easy, aye!
Hands & Nails: Final step before you can begin to worry about what to wear and make-up! You're Almost there! I like to give my hands and nails a good bit of TLC. Usually before painting my nails I will steep them in warm water for a few minutes but because I've been in the shower I don't need to do this. I love the Lemon Cuticle balm from Pixy, it smells absolutely divine and also reminds me of one of my favourite desserts, lemon drizzle cake! The packaging is so cute and can fit nicely into my every-day handbag when needed. Their Coconut Hand Cream also smells amazing and you only need smalls amounts again to get your hands looking, feeling and smelling irresistible!
There you have it, and men wonder why we take so long to get ready! If only they knew what we got up too! I would love you to share your ritual with me in the comments below. Do you enjoy pampering yourself at home? I certainly enjoy the results!

Pixy coconut hand cream (RRP €9.99) is made up of beeswax, cocoa and shea butters that will soften the skin and will aid healing and cleansing of the skin. Pixy lemon cuticle balm (RRP €5.99) penetrates and softens cuticles whilst feeding the nail bed and there is also a zingy lemon flavour that smells gorgeous on your hands! Pixy is available from various pharmacies across cork, for stockists go to pixy.ie.
Don't forget the little people ...they walk among giants
by Kerryman 27/03/13 Newspaper
I feel we have an obligation to buy Irish products whenever they are equal in terms of price, quality and value. Buying Irish means more Irish jobs and smaller dole queues. Oh My God, I sound like Eddie Hobbs.
It isn't easy for small Irish producers to get a toe in the door of the hugely competitive beauty world, where big companies with big budgets rule the roost. I've seen that Adele, the singer, has reportedly been in a bidding war with the giants of the beauty world. LOreal, Christen Dior and Estee Lauder have offered her €10 million to be the face of their company. You can see how it's very hard for two new Irish companies to compete with this.
Financial affairs aside, as I see it, the beauty business here in Ireland is making a shift towards both Irish and natural products. So, taking all this into account I found two new Irish companies that use natural ingredients, have created jobs and are very worthy of our support. To begin with let me tell a story.
Once upon a time in the enchanted forest near Magh Eala in Co Cork, pixies used their special brand of magic to create a pure, natural skin care range, harnessing the revitalizing essence of mother nature, created by hand with many suffused in essential oils. They have gels, spells, lotions and potions. I love their bath muffins, 'bath bombs', bath powders and bath oils. The magic for me is the price, with gift sets from €9.95. Now I know I am turning into Eddie Hobbs. Rose cleansing mud is very popular in Pixie land. You can guess what it smells of, it helps to get rid of toxins and at €9.95 you can't go wrong. New to Pixy is coconut hand cream. Do you remember the add on the telly years ago, where your one was on a dessert island eating her bounty bar? Well, this hand cream transports me to that island. It has beeswax, cocoa and shea butters that soften the skin. It melts on the skin like butter on warm toast. Lemon cuticle balm is €5.99 and has lemon myrtle essential oil that works as a strong but gentle disinfectant to heal and prevent nasty nail conditions. Nail beds will thank you. If you are looking for a pampering night in- try Pixy sensual bath oil. You only need to use a few teaspoons so it would last for ages and the heart shaped bottle would be fab in a bathroom. Pixy is in over 20 pharmacies in Cork and over 10 in Kerry, so spread your wings and wave your laser wand and make them appear.
Recently I had the pleasure of meeting Tracey Ryan from Cork and I found her to be a very gentle, soft-spoken lady who is passionate about her work. Tracey, who studied herbal science at Cork Institute of Technology, had the idea of combining food and skin care and thus Bia Beauty was born. She uses nuts, seed oils, fruits, herbs, spices, cocoa and avocado butter to feed the skin.The media love her because she ticks all the boxes, Irish, natural products and purse friendly. Ireland AM and Expose regularly features Bia products.
Her mother and baby gift set is a hero product, a perfect gift if you know any expectant mums. It has a body butter and eye gel for mum and natural baby cream which has calendula oil, aloe vera and shea butter all of which are safe for baby and luxurious for mum. I bet Amy Hubberman received one and that Pippa O'Connor Ormond will also get one. New to the range is natural mellow mandarin moisturiser (try saying that fast) and my favourite is orange and grapefruit facial exfoliant and cleanser. There is no need for a separate cleanser and exfoliant, which makes this product a multi- tasker and time saver. It is powerful but gentle and at €16.95 good value for two products in one.
Both Pixy and Bia have great facebook pages, with all the latest beauty products and great competitions.

Pixy Rose Cleansing Mud - Review
by Cuti CLUE Les 19/03/13 Blogger
One of my favourite face products to use is a face mask. They seem to calm my skin far quicker than any gels and creams can. The Pixy Rose Cleansing mud is pretty much the same and one of my go-to products when my skin is acting up to the extremes (which is happening a lot lately)
It looks exactly like a but of mud from the garden but don't let that fool you, the rose cleansing mud is packed with goodness, including rose water, witch hazel and chamomile powder ,that leaves my skin so smooth and clean. The one negative point I have is the smell. It smells like a farm yard. If you're from the country you'll know what I mean. It's noticeable to say the least. I use this while having a bath so you can't smell it at all. Don't be put off though because the long term benefits for your skin are well worth putting up with a bit of a pong for a couple of minutes.
I prefer mud masks to clear gels. It means I can really focus in on the ad patches and make sure those are well covered and treated. You only need to use a small amount to cover your skin completely. It' one of the best skincare items I have ever bought. The tin lasts for months but when it is empty I will repurchase.You can pick up a tin of Rose Cleansing Mud from your local pharmacies around Ireland (listed HERE) or online at Pixy.ie. Each tin costs €9.95 for 60g. Pixy are a cruelty-free company

5 Irish Beauty Remedies to Try Instead of Boozing this Saint Patrick’s Day
by Fashionista 15/03/13 Lifestyle website
Great to see Pixy along side Guinness as a super Irish beauty brand on Fashionista
Ireland has a bit of a burgeoning green (meaning eco-friendly in this case) beauty industry. Pixy is one of a number of cosmetics companies making “natural” beauty products. Pixy’s bath and body products are super pretty–a standout is their adorable “bath muffin.” Pixy is carried all over Ireland, but they’ll definitely ship internationally.

Pixy Rose Cleansing Mud - Review
by Confessions of a makeup aholicy 13/03/13 Blogger
We are delighted at receiving another positive review of our best selling Rose Cleansing Mud.
I'm a big fan of Pixy products so I was delighted when their new Rose Cleansing Mud arrived just before Christmas. I've been trying this out for the last couple of months & this is yet another great product from the Irish brand.
This tin of cleansing mud is packed full of beauty clays like Rhassoul Clay from the Atlas Mountains & Red Clay both from Morocco. It's also full of minerals that benefit your skin such as silica, magnesium, potassium, & calcium & if that's not enough for you they've also added Witch hazel which helps with blemishes & irritated skin! All of these promise to help rid your skin of toxins!
The clay itself looks just like mud & to use you just dampen a little bit of it in your hands & apply to a damp face. The clay has added rose water & rose petals that are meant to give it a rose scent but I found the scent to be very overwhelming, if you have a sensitive nose then this isn't one for you!I've been using the clay weekly as a cleanse for my skin & it works well. It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin at all & it leaves it feeling super soft. I really like the packaging too, the tin is a great size for travelling!If your on the hunt for something natural to try then I would definitely recommend this for you. I've yet to be disappointed with a Pixy product!

Pixy Honey Lip Balm
by Pinksugarsparklie 08/03/13 Blogger
I am not usually a fan of lip balms, I hate that greasy feeling that most leave behind on your lips. Vaseline……even imagining opening the tub to apply it, makes me feel ill.
However I fell in love with this light, beautiful, sweet fragranced balm. It applies smooth and not too thick. it also absorbs really well.It contains sweet almond oil, honey oil, shea butter, beeswax and cocoa butter.
My lips are now perfectly buffed and moisturised for the weekend and it’s a definate must have for my makeup bag.
Love it! x

Cellulite Body Oil Review
RSVP Magazine - Kate Noonan alias Lippy 08/03/2013 Lifestyle Website
I’ve found the cure to cellulite!
Don’t get too excited! It’s not as easy as slapping on some wonder lotion. Unfortunately the best results I’ve had as of late are from exercise. Condescending I know but nothing’s better to boost circulation and improve tone. When you think of the other benefits (increased fitness levels, prolonged life, improved health, boosted energy, all round well being and not to mention a rockin’ body) it works out cheaper in the long run. Or great value for money at least. Tot up the amount we spend on supplements, creams, potions and lotions and look at the cost of a gym membership? Bout the same? For me anyway, considering how much my beauty addiction costs me.
Made with avocado oil to combat troublesome skin, sweet almond oil to sooth and condition, cypress oil is added to improve circulation, grapefruit oil to rid you of that stubborn cellulite and fennel oil to rid you of toxins. Hungry? Sounds good enough to eat doesn’t it? The scent is incredible too, I detected that liquorice scent immediately. Even the bottle looks inspired by up market deli style condiments. Like something you wouldn’t find out of place on Rachel Allen’s kitchen island.
If we are what we eat then I like to think what we slather on ourselves matters too. I wouldn’t be too earth mother about it (especially when I enjoy the odd tipple and sneaky smoke!) but I like to see the power of what Mother Nature has to offer before going down the synthetic, chemical route.
I like Pixy’s ethos and they’re guaranteed Irish . Handmade, natural, minimal packaging yet luxurious. I’ve been using the body oil every day targeting my legs only and there is an improvement in my skins condition. Not that anyone sees them when they’re trapped in tights, leggings and trousers in this country but hopefully they’ll get an airing soon. And when they do, I’ll be like yer wan off the Gillette Venus ad!
Check Pixy out online at www.pixy.ie or at a huge selection of pharmacies and stockists nationwide. 40mls of Cellulite body oil will set you back €9.95 and shipping is free on orders over €10. Check out their web page for gift sets and ideas for Mother’s Day.

With Love from Pixy - Everything You Need For A Pampering Night In And Free Delivery
by Dolly Rouge 19/02/13 Irish Beauty Blogger
In case we haven’t wittered on about them enough, let me tell you now we LOVE Irish beauty brand Pixy. All of their products are pure and simple, with nothing but the best effective, natural ingredients. So we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to spread the Pixy love and tell you about their February free delivery offer when you spend €10. Go on, support Irish products and love your skin while you’re at it! In case you’re wondering what to get, we’ve got two ingredients for a pampering night in below.
Pixy Sensual Bath Oil €9.95
Pixy Sensual Bath Oil contains sweet almond oil, which is an excellent emollient, to nourish and condition winter ravaged skin. You only need add a couple of teaspoons of this to running water, so if money is a tight and bath products a luxury a little of this goes a long way. The gentle waterlily fragrance is pleasant, but not overwhelming, for those of you who hate being hit over the head with perfume *cough*Lush*cough*. All in all it lends itself to creating a spa-like indulgent bathing experience at home. Add in a few candles and some soothing music and you’re there!
Rose Cleansing Mud €9.95
While luxuriating in my bath I like to apply Pixy Rose Cleansing Mud all over my face and neck. Containing Moroccan rhassoul mud, red clay and witch hazel, this is a powerful detoxifying treatment for oily or congested skin. It combines gentle physical exfoliation from the clay grains, with subtle chemical exfoliation (my favourite kind!) from the lactic acid containing buttermilk. Even with such powerhouse grease busters, it still manages to be be gentle thanks to rosewater, rose petals and chamomile. This is a very well-balanced deep cleansing treatment, which won’t leave you red-faced and spotty the next day. Love.

Pixy Rose Cleansing Mud Review
by Ninas Bargain Beauty 13/02/13 Blogger
We are delighted at receiving another positive review of our best selling Rose Cleansing Mud.
Let me just tell you this is perfect for everyone with every skin type and the ingredients is even more interesting.
Some of the ingredients is specially got from Morocco. For instance Rhassoul Clay is one of the most perfect clays in the world as it contains ingredients that strongly absorbs all the bad stuff on your face and cleanses those deep impurities you have which is suppose to leave you skin conditioned and moisturised. There is also another clay from Morocco called Red Clay which is full of natural exfoliates which gently remove dry and dead cells. This is also rich in Iron which is suppose to improve the circulation of the skin and is also perfect for oily skin. Other ingredients such as Witch Hazel acts as an antiseptic. Rose petals and rose water awwww the list is endless but all natural :)
Ok Now for my overall opinion !!!!!
Let me tell you now I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!
This is amazing I really mean that I use this once a week because that is all you need. My face Feels smoother than every after using this and i have my favourite face products that leave my face smooth but I have to admit nothing as smooth as this product.
What better is and I am sure alot of you out there will know what i mean when I say after I wash, ex foliate cleanse and tone my face I always find a tightness around my bottom half of my face sometimes where I suffer dryness and the only way to get rid of that is to moisturise which I always do. But after using this product I never feel that tightness I honest don't its amazing After about an hour if I don't moisturise I do feel a tiny bit of tightness but not half as much after anything else i use now that's a bonus. I highly highly recommend this to you all to try :)

Meet my Pixy Valentine - Heart Shaped Body Scrubs - €3.95
by Cuti CLUE Les 12/02/13 Blogger
Pixy is one of my favourite brands for skincare. I love their ethics and the people are just such sweethearts it's so hard not being able to buy from them more often! Thankfully they have a free shipping deal on for Irish customers at the moment when you spend over €10. I placed my order last week and decided the Pixy Lime body scrubs were too adorable to miss! The heart shapes are perfect for valentines day (or just as a pretty present for yourself) I adore anything lime scented and I could not wait to try these out.
I love the heart shape. It makes them far easier to grab a hold of and work into the skin. The smell is divine and the fact they have essential oils in them means you don't have to worry about moisturizing afterwards. Great if you travel a lot ,or are just a tad lazy like myself ;) One little heart will cover you from neck to toe (don't use them on your face!) and you'll feel squeaky clean afterwards.
The Pixy Lime body scrubs come in a pack of 8 (95g) for €3.95. Pixy make the best smelling products on the market. I am addicted to their scrubs and no doubt I'll be buying more with this free shipping offer going on until the end of February. The lime body scrubs make a great gift whatever the occasion.

Valentine gifts from Pixy Natural
by Glitter Mama Wishes 11/02/13 Beauty Blogger
Weather you’re into Valentines Day or not every girl loves pampering lotions and potions. Pixy do just that and are an Irish company too :)
The Bath Oil contains Sweet Almond Oil and Vitamin E so it’s incredibly moisturisingand my skin felt silky smooth after my bath. I was worried I would feel really oily as I don’t think I’ve tried a bath oil before but as I say my skin just felt so conditioned.
It also has glitter, my favourite :) so this is a lovely touch too, make sure to shake it before you put some in your bath.
You only need 2 tea-spoons of this and wow, the smell (water lillies) when you come back into the bathroom after leaving the bath to run is so beautiful, very relaxing. The water will also have a hue of blue to it, cool huh!!?
This is €9.95 and well worth it, a little goes a long way and when it’s all gone the love heart-shaped bottle will be going into my craft room to be jazzed up and make a pretty decoration!
The Soap costs €5.49 is also nice, I just love the 3-D design on it. This contains cocoa butter which is a favourite of mine as it’s so moiturising. This soap is fine to use on all skin types, even people with eczema and dermatitis believe it or not.
It also has Macadamia Nut Oil packed in their too which contains fatty acids and B vitamins (learn something new everyday) to keep skin soft and hydrated and protects skin cells from deterioration………..me likey!! See it’s not just a pretty soap ;)
I also love this massage bar with aduki beans, gonna get this for my bf give him a nice Valentine’s back massage as he has bad muscle pain, so I think this would be nice for a massage to knead sore muscles, I may get one in return too lol ;)
You can buy these products and more from Pixy Natural’s website, there are loads of other beautiful gifts and gift sets.
They have free delivery on all orders over €10 to celebrate their new Valentine’s collection

Pixy Love
by Adorea Bubbles 08/02/13 Beauty Blogger
Pixy have you sorted this year for pampering with a lovely selection of soaps, lotions and potions.
First up is the Sensual Bath Oil €9.99 for 100ml. This Bath oil will have your skin feeling and smelling great. I love that it contains just a touch of glitter, every bath should! A little goes a long way, just shake it up and pour two teaspoons in with your bath. The packaging is lovely, I know I'll be re-using it for something else as soon as it's empty.
Next up is the Honeysuckle Soap €5.95 for 60g. It's so pretty it's almost wrong to use it! That's what treating yourself is all about, doing/using something you wouldn't normally have the time or chance to. This soap is such a treat. It also contains nourishing ingredients to keep your skin feeling and looking great. Cocoa butter and Macadamia oil are two of my favourite ingredients when it comes to showing my skin how much I care for it!
Both the Sensual bath oil and the Honeysuckle soap are suitable for all skin types and are perfect if you suffer from dry skin. You can check out the rest of their Valentines beauty gifts and gifts sets HERE. I have my eyes on the Lime body scrub hearts, they look so cute and sound great for the quick showers.How do you feel about Valentines day? Am I putting my foot in it for asking!

Tried and Tested: Pixy Rose Cleansing Mud
by RTE Lifestyle online- Georgina Heffernan 07/02/13
We are delighted at receiving a detailed review with a rating of 9/10 for our Rose Cleansing Mud.
Mud, mud, glorious mud; let the minerals into your skin.
THE CLAY:
When I first opened the tin, I was confused at the colour of this dark earthy stuff, but that’s because it is so heavily crammed with the best beauty clays on earth.
Rhassoul Clay comes from the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. This Spa quality clay is one of the most perfect clays in the world. Ideal for all skin types, it is pumped with minerals such as silica, magnesium, potassium and calcium. It strongly absorbs all the bad stuff, and cleanses, targeting those deep down impurities, leaving your skin revitalised and conditioned, naturally improving the texture of the skin.
The other potent ingredient is Red Clay also from Morocco, with natural exfoliants, which gently removes dry and dead skin cells. For good measure, Rose Cleansing Mud also consists of Witch hazel that contains amazing antiseptic properties, not forgetting Kelp, Buttermilk and Vanilla powders that eliminate and help flush those nasty toxins. Rose petals and rose water give it a lovely romantic scent.
THE RESULT:
More than just a cleanser, this is a beauty ritual in a tub, which will transform the condition of your skin. I washed it off after five minutes and my skin felt velvet soft and deeply cleansed. It is gentle enough to use on all skin types. 9/10

Pixy Rose Cleansing Mud
by Belle Morte Beauty 27/01/13 Blogger
This little tin is densely packed to the brim full of deep down cleansing Rhassoul Clay and Red Clay from Morocco, which is full of minerals and antioxidants. There's also witch hazel added as an astringent., along with lots of different powders, including buttermilk and vanilla to detoxify and moisturise. You'll also find rosewater and rose petals in the mix to fragrance it.
I've read some reviews where people weren't too keen on the scent of this, however I have to say that I adore it - it reminds me of luxurious chocolate truffles - not a rose scent as I was expecting! I get a very definite chocolate aroma off this, which is no doubt down to the addition of cocoa powder in the formulation.

This lovely looks like dried mud, as at first sight I was intrigued. This is full of lovely ingredients including Red Clay, Witch Hazel and Buttermilk and it's mission is to cleanse, detoxify and moisturise. Pixy have used rose water and rose petals to fragrance the cleansing mud. With all the stress I have been under since Christmas, I have had major breakout issues but after using this, they cleared up quickly and even better I have had no more nasties show up.

Beauty Review: Pixy Tutti Fruity
by Madames Madeup 18/01/13 Blogger
Once added to the bath the glitter floats on the water as the rest of the bath bomb is dissolved.
The glitter on the product looks pretty. I didn't find my body was covered in glitter or anything - which is good as they are pretty big chunks of glitter. There is a very light fragrance to the bath. (I had to blow out my candle to make sure I wasn't smelling my Yankee). I also received a "Lime Light Bath Bomb" which I've yet to use.
I think these are great for presents for anyone that loves a nice relaxing bath. I might just have to try out a full size one to see how it compares to the smaller size.
Pixy Rose Cleansing Mud
by Viva Adonis 17/01/13 Blogger
Pixy's Rose Cleansing Mud is a total gem of a skincare product. I've been using in since just before Christmas, and can say with conviction that it has really helped my skin to stay clear and less oily over the last few weeks.
I do think that 'cleansing mud' isn't the ideal description for this product. Don't get me wrong, I love the stuff, but to me, this is an exfoliating, deep skin treatment and not really just a 'cleansing' one. I often use it before a shower, by rubbing it all over my face to combat dead skin, and then leaving it on for a couple of minutes (not very long) as a kind of mask to let the mud really do it's thing on my skin - see the damning evidence below! When I've rinsed and dried my face, it feels really soft, comfortable and smooth with no tightness or dryness.
So, there you have it - that's what I do with this stuff and what it does for me. I think that this would work for almost any skin except if you are really dry, and I really recommend it if you have an oily skin type that you're struggling to rebalance. Using this has definitely reduced the oil in my skin without dehydrating it and I think it's a fantastic product. Best still, it's €9.95 - very affordable and a much better and smarter buy than a lot of the synthetic exfoliators and face masks that are on the cheaper end of the skincare market.

Pixy Natural Skincare: Soaps & Bath Muffins
by What They Wore 10/1/13 Blogger
Pixy has a magnificent range of different scents to choose from. What is fantastic about Pixy natural soaps is that they wont affect the most sensitive of skin, and as we all know, products that claim to be gentle for those with sensitive skin can still irritate as these products tend to include chemical ingredients
As much as I loved the bath muffins there is one drawback, because of all the oil that is in each bath muffin it can make the bath very slippy, I am not sure if I just didn’t have enough water in the bath or not, but it is something to take into account and be aware of. If you are going to try the bath muffins maybe only use half of each muffin to avoid this happening.
Putting the minor slipup (pun intended) to one side the oils that are in the bath muffins are fantastic for moisturising your skin and like all Pixy products the smell is just to die for! In fact I felt I didn’t have to wear perfume because the smell just stays with you throughout the day!

Solid Foot Scrub: €8.95
Isn’t the foot shape just the cutest! Wee little toes and all hehe! This has a loofah at the other side with softening cocoa butter and almond oil. It also contains some lovely smelling essential oils and tea tree and neem oil which have antibacterial properties!
I really enjoyed using this, though I do have super ticklish feet haha! My feet are so much softer and smoother, great to have after long winter months stick in boots.
Bath Bombs Gift Set (4): €9.95
You get a surprise of 4 bath bombs in this set. I used the Tutti Fruity one coz it had glitter of course! I didn’t find the smell as strong as I would have liked off this but that could have been my cold also. (4th week now, can’t shift it grrr!) And no, don’t worry you won’t come out covered in glitter when you get out lol ; )

Deep Breaths Relax Thanks to Pixy
by Dolly Rouge 07/01/13 Blogger
Pixy have only gone and done it again with another brilliant offering for those of you in need of a bit of relaxation and deep breathing! Their Muscle Soothing Bath Salts contain black pepper oil, rosemary essential oil and eucalyptus essential oil to ease your aches and pains, while the Dead Sea salts gently exfoliate and refresh your skin.
I am a huge fan of bath salts in general, particularly anything containing Epson salts so when I read the description on Pixys website I knew I had to invest. I picked the salts up for €9.95 in my local chemist Doyles of Athy and used them when I had a particularly shitty flu before the Christmas break. I ran a super hot bath (If I don’t emerge pink then the bath isn’t hot enough for me!) and I threw in two tablespoons of the salts. Immediately the Eucalyptus oil started to fill up the air and I found myself breathing a little bit easier before I had even put a toe in the water.

by High Life of Mars 07/01/13 Blogger
The Rose Cleansing Mud comes in a little tin and is made up of some beautiful natural products. It contains two clays from Morocco including Red Clay, a great natural exfoliant, especially good for oily skin and Rhassoul Clay, clay that contains loads of nutrients and helps to remove all the bad stuff out of your skin. And exfoliate does it! Basically what you do is take a teaspoon amount of the clay, mix with water to make a paste and massage it onto your face. Then simply rinse. But once you rinse you will definitely notice the difference to your skin. I found this removed all my dead skin, leaving it lovely and smooth and left just a lovely glow or radiance to the skin. I really noticed the difference to my skin after using it.

Pixy Rose Cleansing Mud
by Not Just Inside 02/101/13 Blogger
The Cleansing mud comes in a small tin, but the product will last you quite a while as only a small amount is needed, The mud itself is made up of different types of clays, and is chock full of minerals and antioxidants, perfect for a post Christmas skin detox. I used this 3 times for the first week and 2 times in the second week and now Im going to use it for a weekly treat as the clay is so deep cleansing you wouldn't need to use it every day.

Love is in the Air
by Cuti CLUE Les 26/12/12 Blogger
The Pixy Sensual bath oil smells so good. It's so fresh and inviting. Normally I load my bath with radox bubble bath and salts (and what ever else I find to throw in and make it all nice and soft) but with this bath oil I didn't need anything else. It leaves the water so soft and the smell relaxes you so much that you forget about anything else that happened during the day. The glass bottle looks gorgeous sitting next to your bath and I love the cork top! Price €9.99 for 100ml
Honeysuckle Soap I am a sucker for soap but I think the Pixy Honeysuckle soap is one of the cutest and most striking bars I have ever used. Like all Pixy products it smells absolutely wonderful and I love the design. You feel so bad using it because it is so pretty but it's worth it. I would definitely recommend using this in the morning because the smell really leaves you feeling fresh and awake. Price €5.49 for 60g.

Halloween Beauty Bits - Tried & Tested!
by Leanne Woodful 29/10/12 Blogger
Pixy Softening Body Oil (€7.99): Before I ever used this Body Oil, I fell in love with its potion-like bottle. I'm going through quite an oil obsession at the moment, and I've loved using this after I've had a long bath. The oil contains jojoba, borage seed oil and apricot. The oil helps prevent the loss of elasticity in the skin also, so I tend to use it all over my stretch mark prone areas, to help prevent further stretching! The oil smells beautiful, sinks well into the skin and leaves the skin feeling moisturised for hours after use.

Lip Balms - Tried & tested
by Leanne Woodful 23/10/12 Blogger
These gorgeous lip balms from Irish company Pixy have been a favourite of mine also over the last few weeks. They're so handy to just pop into your coat pocket, your bag etc. The balms come in a simple tin, with straight-forward packaging and the balms themselves are absolutely gorgeous, and instantly hydrating. I personally use the Mint balm the most, as it leaves a gorgeous tingly feeling on my lips, similar to the Carmex balm! These balms are great applied on to already cracked lips, as they really soothe the skin and prevent bleeding and further cracking. For such a great price, you get quite a bit of product in the tub. I can see these lasting me for months and months!

As you know, I'm a huge fan of Irish brand Pixy and when at the Professional Beauty Trade Show recently, I was delighted to see a stand there, ready for moi to smell all the products and say to CherrySue "Ooh smell this, ooh isn't this nice"? We both bought some new products to try out and I snapped up the Rose Cleansing Mud after wanting to try it for ages.
Promising to gently cleanse and revitalise the skin with red clay mud, rhassoul clay, buttermilk and vanilla powders, eliminate toxins with kelp powder, tone the skin with rose water and nourish the skin thanks to cocoa powder, I got stuck into my tin.

Current Body Products
by Viva Adonis 11/10/12 Blogger
I'm not as good with body oils as I am with lotions. I just find them a bit messier and more cumbersome - but this one is worth it. The oil does exactly what it says on the (seriously cute) bottle - softens my skin. It sinks in a good bit faster than other oils that I've used, but it's still not something I'd use in the morning, just in case! Props also have to go to this product for its jasmine scent - it's divine and I can't get enough of it.
Even the packaging, whilst not strictly practical, is something special and eye-catching. I think it's fairly priced at €7.99, especially considering this is an Irish enterprise (something which I do harp on about, I know, but it is so important to support our own!). If you're looking for something to combat dry skin for the winter months, I think this would be a great product to keep your skin hydrated and comfortable.

Choccywoccydoodah: Some Delicious (Not literally) Products for Chocolate Week
By cherrysuedointhedo 10/10/12 Blogger
Never to be outdone when it comes to naturally beautiful products, Pixy.ie have 3 cocoa offerings to tempt your senses:
Cocoa Shower Mousse: uses shea butter and apricot oil to soften and enrich your skin. Vitamin E and evening primrose oils and cocoa powder keep your skin healthy and supple.
Chocolate Heaven Bath Bomb: promises a 'sensuous chocolate fragrance' with a sprinkling of gold mica to illuminate your skin. Goat's milk powder softens, exfoliates and cleanses your skin as you luxuriate in a bath of this chocolatey goodness.
Pixy Chocolate Lip Balm: You'll see my review of this beauty here. Made with cocoa butter, shea butter, beeswax and almond oil, once warmed on your lips, this silky soft balm gives you a chocolate hit like no other product I've tried. Gold mica adds a subtle shimmer to your softened lips (but I've not told the eldest that, tis his punishment for pilfering it on me) If you're cutting down on chocolate or trying to combat cravings, you need one of these tins in your mála.

Introducing Pixy Lip Balms
by lovelygirliebits 09/08/12 Blogger
As the winter creeps in, so does one of the most annoying things in life. Chapped lips. And because of this, I am never without an abundance of different lip products. Seriously, no human being should carry around what I do, but I do because I need and love them all, like little pals at the bottom of my handbag.
These lip balms from Irish company Pixy arrived at mi casa last week and I couldn't wait to get stuck into them, literally. Coming in little metal tins, they already stand out from the masses of tins I have and only a crazy person who carries aroundher entire lip collection will understand that because they're metal, you can see them at the bottom of your handbag very easily. This makes me happy. Time is money and all.

What a Pucker
by Cuti-CLUE-Les 06/10/12 Blogger
The lipbalms come in five different flavours with each one having it's own description which is a sweet idea:
Chocolate: For chocoholics, delicious and scrummy!
Strawberry: For fruity fanatics, happy and zesty!
Coconut: For tropical sensations, sassy and zingy!
Honey: For honeycomb lovers, soft and sweety!
Mint: For cool and collected, clean and yummy!
Pretty good variety in flavours which is great . I get awful sick of having the one scent all of the time. They come in a little tin with the Pixy logo on the top. The tin is really sturdy and keeps the lipbalm fresh and clean. It looks great sitting on your desk too!

Naturally Kissable Lips with Pixy Lip Balms

True to Pixy form, these balms are made using only the best quality natural ingredients. Each tin of loveliness is based on an ice cream flavour (Chocolate, Strawberry, Coconut, Honey & Mint) and are made using:
- Cocoa Butter
- Shea Butter
- Almond Oil
- Beeswax
Though they may take a little warming with your finger to get a good helping of balm (it's because I'm greedy, I know), once applied these moisturising lip lovers leave just the slightest sheen but have an incredible taste. Lips are moisturised, nourished and ready for whatever this season has to throw at them (smooches included).

Pixy Softening Body Oil is my newest skin saviour
by Dolly Rouge 29/9/12 Blogger
Despite being of the oily skinned variety, and thinking we’d never get along together, this little bottle of golden goodness is my newest obsession. Trust Pixy to come up with an oil even the most sebum-prone person can’t help but adore.
Popping open the (uniquely designed) bottle of Softening Body Oil you’re met with a gorgeous waft of magnolia and jasmine. The perfume is sensuous, yet not overpowering, so you can just as easily slather it on before work as well as before some nice (and naughty!) massage.

Pixy Skin So Soft - Softening Body Oil
by Belle Morte Beauty 10/9/12 Blogger
The oil smells wonderful - a lovely light, floral scent which isn't overpowering and is very delicate and sensuous.
The oil itself is very light and non-greasy. I hate heavy oils that leave a greasy film after application - who has time to wait around in the mornings before getting dressed to allow oil to fully absorb? This oil sinks into the skin to leave it feeling nourished and moisturised and doesn't feel greasy or sticky.
I've noticed a definite softening effect of my skin since I started using it. You only need a tiny amount - 5ml or thereabouts, so you should in theory, get around 8 uses out of each bottle.
I've also started using this as a cuticle oil and it's been working wonders keeping them from drying out and best of all, it doesn't leave a greasy residue on your hands afterwards either

By The Makeup Buff 6/09/12 Blogger

- They keep the use of packaging to a minimum.

Promising to not only nurture but also to nourish the skin, Pixy Softening Body Oil is chock full of natural oils and goodness such as softening Jojoba oil, evening primrose oil, apricot oil, and borage seed oil (just to note that Borage seed oil is actually used to ready the body for labour and delivery so this oil wouldn't be recommended for pregnant ladies).
The scent is beautifully floral with both jasmine and magnolia, coupled with the soft, non greasy feeling on the skin, Body Softening Oil is a must try for those suffering with eczema or dry skin conditions.

Now, on to body scrubs. Pixy Natural appears to be Ireland's answer to Lush, and these Lime Body Scrub Cubes* are something special! These are solid cubes that you run over your skin in the shower for a brillant, refreshing scrub that won't strip or dry out the skin. I love these for getting rid of stubborn patches of fake tan - if you need to do a good all-over scub, you'll need two of them. You get six in a pack, but they're only €4.99 and this is an Irish enterprise, which we all love to support, right?! The only gripe I have about these is the packaging. The plastic bag they come in isn't great for storing them, and I'd love if Pixy came out with their own storage tins like Lush have. You can view a list of Irish stockists of Pixy here and they also sell online. I really like this stuff and can't wait to see what other gems the company come up with!

It also has Tea tree essential oil that promotes skin cell growth and Lavender essential oil that has deep cleansing and antiseptic properties. You can really smell the essential oils when you open the tub and the first time I used it I thought I was going to smell like that all day but it faded away quickly enough. The ectoplasm absorbs into my skin and it's weird, for a viscous/loose gel texture, it spreads really easily and a weeny bit will do my whole arm. It dries quickly and feels really cooling on contact with the skin...

The first thing I noticed when I opened the tin was the smell. It is gorgeous! It's really fresh and natural. The gel is full of aloe vera juice, tea tree essential oil and lavender essential oil. It's the perfect product to use on dry skin. It is great for use after waving or shaving and I'm told by Anne-Marie that it is great for sunburn too. You can actually pop this in the fridge so when it goes on it is really cooling. Added bonus! I have been using this religiously and I have barely made a dent in it!

Summer beauty essential - Aloe Vera
by Beauty via RTE website 06/8/12
Cruise the beauty aisles of any natural products store, and you'll wind up thinking that aloe vera is the most widely used ingredient in skin care products today.
It's certainly got the credentials for a star role: The plump, spiky leaf of the cactus-like plant contains more than 75 nutrients and 200 active compounds, including 20 minerals, 18 amino acids and 12 vitamins. In fact, one researcher at the University of Texas Health Science Center described aloe as "a pharmacy in a plant."
Aloe vera is one of my favorite all-purpose remedies for cuts, burns, insect bites and any type of skin irritation. It cools and soothes even the most tender skin and creates a natural protective bandage as it dries. Physicians in ancient Egypt prescribed aloe for wounds and other skin problems, and Cleopatra rubbed aloe gel into her skin as a beauty treatment.
I was recently sent out a sample of Pixy Aloe Vera Gel (€10.99) and it is one that I have started to use regularly. I suffer from dry skin and I burn easily. As I test every product on myself, this one for me is a keeper. It soothes and feeds the skin on my legs and has improved the condition of my skin. Works a treat on sunburn too.

We are delighted to have got a mention three times on this blog post . Our Rose cleansing mud, our Aloe Vera rescue gel and our mango bliss soap block.
by Cuti-CLUE-Les 05/8/12 Blogger
I really like pixy products :P The aloe rescue gel is one of their latest additions and it is the business! I use this on my hands before doing any swatching and every night before bed and it works wonders! My skin is in far better condition since using the gel and my cuticles have never looked better. love this. €10.99
Up next is the Pixy natural Rose cleansing mud. I've never tried a mud cleanser before but this is just amazing. My skin has not been in great form lately and this is really helping to get it back in decent shape. €9.50
Another Pixy product. The mango bliss soap block is brilliant. I love the smell, it lasts ages and it leaves you feeling so fresh and clean. Definitively going to re-purchase this. I'm going to try the tough love soap slice next! €4

Minding your tootsies with Pixy Solid Foot Scrub and Peppermint Foot Cream
by lovelygirliebits 25/7/12 Blogger
The Solid Foot Scrub (€8.75) is too cute and it's the only foot that you'll see on the blog considering I'm allergic to photos of feet. It exfoliates your feet thanks to the loofah inside and the peppermint leaves on the bottom of it add a nice fresh scent to the whole experience. Let's be honest, scrubbing your feet is not one of the best beauty jobs in the world but this little guy makes it a nicer time. With essential oils like lavender and cedarwood to destress your tootsies and neem and tea tree to keep your toe-toes fresh, you'll have smooth feet in no time.

Pixy Foot Scrub & Cream - Review
by Leanne Woodfull 21/7/12 Blogger
I was determined to acknowledge my feet once and for all, and I used them on the night I received them. The Solid Foot Scrub is fantastic, it contains a loofah to exfoliate dead skin off of your feet (ew), it actually works and your feet feel beyond smooth after use! The scrub contains cocoa butter to moisturise and tea tree to keep them fresh. I gently scrubbed my feet with this whilst in the bath after a few minutes, when the skin was already soft from soaking in the warm water.
I applied the Peppermint Foot Cream straight after my bath, and I couldn't help think of the wonderful "Your face smells like peppermint!" line from Mean Girls all through the application (sigh). It smells so delicious that I was tempted to actually have a taste of the cream.. I really wish I was exaggerating. It feels absolutely gorgeous once applied to the skin, it's oh-so moisturising and creamy.

A treat for my feet
by Prettymeblog 14/7/12 Blogger
The foot scrub comes in the shape of a foot, very cute. It smells great and is full of smoothing scrubbing particles, on the flip side is a smoother coating which leaves your feet feeling silky smooth.
It really does work straight away, the first time I used the scrub in the bath it made my feet tingle and it really cleaned!
I then dried off my feet and applied the peppermint foot cream, this is absolutely gorgeous and smells amazing... Again my feet felt fabulous and really smooth.
It's defiantly the best foot scrub I have ever used, and feet are now holiday ready :)
Please go and check out the website, there are so many great products at really affordable prices.

Scrub a dub dub
by Cuti-CLUE-Les 07/7/12 Blogger
The packaging is adorable. It comes in a plastic bag with a ribbon decoration. They even go to the effort of twirling the ribbon (You know the way you run a scissors along the side and It makes it go all curly like a pigs tail)I keep my bars in the bag because they can flake a bit and this keep the mess to a minimum and you can use the bits that have flaked off at the end. There is also a bit of sellotape to seal the bag so it arrives fresh. Again they have the company name on the front and a sticker with the ingredients listed on the back. A lovely touch. There is a thin cardboard base which keeps the package standing up so you don’t get any accidents with the bars falling out. It’s simple but well thought out. It looks very pretty and has high end feel making it a lovely present idea! ......

Put your best foot forward with Pixy solid scrub and peppermint foot cream
by Dolly Rouge 01/7/12 Blogger
So last night I went the whole hog for my piggies, and treated them to soak n’scrub with my Pixy bits. I thoroughly recommend even the busiest person in the world to take the time to do this, as you’d be surprised how refreshed feet can revive the body and mind. Foot washing was prevalent and ritualised in times gone by, and it’s a shame the practice has fallen by the wayside. [Actually, that's just made me think of a photo I have of my Dad from the 80s - sitting on the kitchen counter in his jocks, washing his feet in the sink. Morto. I think that one will be pulled out for his next birthday party for sure!] So if you’re sitting in front of the telly of an evening, boil the kettle, grab a basin and a towel, and soak your tootsies. If you have them to hand, you could throw in some essential oils, epsom salts, even citrus fruits, to make the experience more spa-like. Your happy feet will thank you for it!......
If you’re in need of a pampering foot treat, look for Pixy Solid Foot Scrub (€8.75) and Peppermint Foot Cream (€9.49)......

Our logo is flying the flag for Irish jobs
by Mark Keenan Irish Independent 28/6/12 Press
The bad times have always proved to be good for the 'Guaranteed Irish' logo and home-brand loyalty is a key for growth. By Mark Keenan
THE 'Guaranteed Irish' logo is a 1980s classic for anybody who came of age in that decade. It is right up there with the Lyons' Minstrels who tap-danced across tea bags, the Irish-made Ford Cortina Corrib car and Harp Lager's 'Sally O'Brien' and "the way she might look at you".
When unemployment ran at 20pc, the state-funded campaign was a vibrant national movement and we followed its creed with quasi-religious fervour.
We shopped for jobs and scoured products for the 'GI' ensign. Classroom-indoctrinated children wore the 'GI' badges and badgered their parents if they didn't. 'Guaranteed Irish' was Ireland's 'Dig for Victory.'
.........
Most encouraging for Rea, however, is the new stream of vibrant Irish start-up firms who have followed the multinationals in taking up Guaranteed Irish membership.
Among them are companies like Pixy, a maker of luxury Irish bath products from Mallow, Little Diners, a lunches for creches operation from Rathnew, and Kilbeggan Organic, an oat food company from the town of the same name.

Pixy Natural Irish and Affordable
by dollyrouge 19/6/12 Blogger
I used mine to help scrub off a weeks worth of fake tan (fake it ’till you make it ladies!) and I can confirm that Pixy’s Lime Scrubbers are totally EXCELLENT! I love that they’re natural, I love the bang of lime off them and not only that but they actually do what it says on the tin! They scrub the skin but also moisturize at the same time and left my skin nicely prepared for shaving. The oily residue meant I managed to shave my legs and arms without any little nicks and they successfully banished the remnants of my fake tan. They made the bathroom smell pretty spa like too which was an added bonus....

A Pixy Treat
by Prettymeblog 06/6/12 Blogger
I first noticed the wonderful smell of the little yellow cubes, good enough to eat. I start rubbing my skin paying extra attention to dry patches like elbows and knees. The little cubes starting fizzing away making my skin tingle, it really felt like all my dead skin was being lifted and smoothed off.
On the other side of the cube is a smooth balm which I glided over my skin once the fizzing had stopped, this left my skin feeling amazing and really soft. It almost felt like something was coating my skin locking in the moisture. Was a lovely feeling. I was really impressed with how.... Read complete blog post

The Brains Behind your Favourite Beauty Sites - Pixy.ie
by cherrysuedointhedo 05/6/12 Blogger
You remember last week I brought you a review of scrumptious, zesty lime body scrubbers from pixy.ie? Well this week I have a sneak peek behind the scenes at Pixy HQ so we might get a better understanding of how this Cork based natural skincare company ticks. Having appeared on Dragon's Den in March and turning down Mr Gavin Duffy's offer, Peter Weedle, the founder of Pixy.ie, has earned himself the joking moniker of 'Dragon Slayer'. I don't believe that for one minute. Take it away, Peter!
1. What inspired you to set up your site?
PIXY Natural Skincare was set up because we were trying to create an Irish
skincare range that was natural, fun and affordable. The website was
set-up to sell PIXY all over the world.

New to Ireland - Pixy.ie and their Lime Body Scrub Cubes
by cherrysuedointhedo 24/5/12 Blogger
The cube melts easily into your skin but lasts long enough to do your bod, cupped in the palm of your hand. Ideally you'd use two per shower if you're wanting to completely exfoliate your legs too. The little scrubbers are neither harsh nor abrasive and work to gently buff the skin. While it doesn't lather, it does wash off quickly and easily without leaving any residue behind. Pixy.ie recommend exercising caution in the shower or bath though as they may cause slippery surfaces once done. I didn't have any problems though. Just lightly buffed, freshly scented skin.
To me, Pixy.ie looks set to give Lush a run for its money in the Irish market and I'd urge you to give them a look see to see what you think. There are select stockists right now (details online) in Cork, Dublin, Limerick, Tipperary & Waterford but they have a fully stocked website ready for a gander....

Pixy Lime Body Scrubber Cubes - they smell so good!
by lovelygirliebits 24/5/12 Blogger
As I held one in my hand to take the photo below, the heat of my hand started to melt the cocoa butter and oils in the cube slightly. I took my photos quickly and took this bad boy into the shower. And that's where the photos end folks, nothing to see here! I've used the Buffy bar from Lush in the past and found it grand in the exfoliation department but not good in the moisturising department, not to mention storing it. So I never repurchased it. The Pixy Lime Scrubber Cubes are the perfect size to bring one into the shower or bath and where they say that one should do your whole body once. I used half of one last night and that was going over my arms and legs twice, just because....
