Magic of PIXIGlow Event: PIXI Beauty Collaboration with Disney's Tinkerbell!

Last night I went along to the launch of PIXI's new Spring/Summer PIXIGlow collaboration with Disney - specifically Tinkerbell with fellow beauty blogger and YouTuber (and best friend of 20 yrs!) Angel Armogida.  Although I'd come across PIXI at Boots before, I never took the pale green packaging seriously (shallow? moi?!) and so I was pretty much new to the brand.  I was surprised to learn that their little boutique just off Carnaby St (around the corner from fellow Swedish make up brand Make Up Store) has been there for 12 years.  

PIXI is the brainchild of a former Swedish model Petra Strand whose aim is to provide women with easy to use, mulitpurpose, long wearing products. 

The range launches in Boots today.

How long has it taken me to get this post up?! Better late than never...

It was an early start and Angel picked me up at the crack of dawn to head down to Ally Pally.  It was my first time there and it's a really pretty building, if a little faded splendour.  I didn't really have anything on my list, but ended up spending waaay more than I ever imagined...oh well!

My first foray into Topshop nail polish has been an outstanding success and has rarely been off my nails these past few months, despite me normally favouring richer shades in the depths of Winter.  Best £5 I've spent in a long time.  I can't say enough good things about this polish - a beautiful Spring pastel pink, wonderfully opaque after one coat, but stunning after two.  Quick drying and with a slick of Seche Vite, or any other clear polish over the top, fairly indestructible.

Insolence

This scent ain't for the faint hearted, so all you gals who love your Marc Jacobs Daisy-clean fumes might struggle with this one, but I adore it.  There's something about ginger skin which gives it a Teflon quality when it comes to perfume lasting power but this little Guerlain sucker hangs around me in a heady mist until home time.

I'm pretty rubbish at describing scents and the Guerlain website if far too Flash-happy for me to direct you there (you might not come back here!), so I'll reproduce their description here for you:
