Pixi - Glow Tonic

I still remember the day, over a year ago now, my sister heard I was heading to London and asked would I pick her up a bottle of 'Pixi Glow Tonic'. I was very familiar with the makeup store Pixi, off Carnaby Street, but I had never heard of this product. I soon found out all the beauty gurus online were raving about the stuff. Niamh followed a lady online called Caroline Hirons and she had also recommended it. I am now a HUGE Caroline Hirons fan...verging on total fangirl....she once tweeted me and I nearly had a mini heart attack! Crazy?? NO..she is truly amazing when it comes to skin care.

Sorry, going off tangent (this happens me, I can't help it, get used to it!) so obviously being the great sister I am I headed off into the centre of London after work (did I really need much persuading...hmm not so much). The moment I turned the corner onto Fouberts Place, off Carnaby Street, I instantly saw a sign saying PIXI GLOW TONIC IN STOCK. I was delighted. I had read online how it would come into the store and literally be sold out within hours. I was thrilled that it was in stock. I picked up 2 bottles (obviously I had to try what big sis was trying!!) and off I went.

Pixi Glow Tonic is an exfoliating toner. Don't worry I hadn't heard of toners being 'exfoliating' either before this point. When I used to think of a toner I would think of a water substance to help remove the makeup left after cleansing. Ohhhh so wrong. 

The bottle says 'tones, smoothes & refines skin texture. Gently exfoliates to remove dead skin cells, revealing healthy glowing skin. Alcohol free'. It really does what it says. And the alcohol free part is great as I used to use Cliniques toner and I would nearly get tipsy while applying it. It has Aloe Vera and Ginseng so the smell is lovely too.

A bottle of 250ml retails for £18. It's now also available in Libertys department store
Still not sold in Ireland :( but online ordering from Pixi is an option (they used to not even sell it online....gold dust i tell you...gold dust!).



(Yes....I need another bottle very soon)

Helly....x
