Pixi Endless Silky Eye Kit
Today's review will be on Pixi's Endless Silky Eye Pen kit. You can buy it at Target or on Pixibeauty.com for $25. This kit includes Pixi's bestselling eyeliners(5 mini shades). They also sell individual shades that are full sized ($12). The formula is vitamin-enriched and glides on like a dream. They're super pigmented and don't tug or pull on the eyelid. These eyeliners are my favorite from the drugstore. I even like them more than Urban Decays Glide-on eye pencils. They don't smudge or fade all day. Its so easy to apply them. Sometimes it takes a second to adjust to the silky application. You can also smudge them out but you need to do it before they set. Once they do, you can only get them off with makeup remover. Keep reading for detailed reviews on each color.

OysterGlow
Here is a comparison of Pixi's liner in BlackNoir and Urban Decay's Glide-on liner in Zero. BlackNoir is much more pigmented than Zero. After a few mins I rubbed both of them to see which one is more smudge resistant and BlackNoir definitely out did Zero. Why pay $20 for an eyeliner at the department store, when you can get this one for $12 from Pixi? I know I won't again.
BlackCocoa is a deep brown shade. It's perfect for smudging out in the bottom lash line. I have also used this shade to deepen my outer v for a smokier look.
SageGold is a green shade with gold glitter. It's great for a pop of color on the bottom lash line or smudge out on the top eyelid. SageGold isn't as strong as the other colors but it will still last you all day for normal wear. It's truly a beautiful color.
I pretty much explained this color earlier in the post. It's the best black eyeliner that I have found. Although, I don't buy many I think it would be hard to beat. Next time your shopping for an eyeliner pick this up.
DeepPlum is a beautiful purple color with a few(almost none)specks of glitter. I love this plum liner! It's now my go-to liner for a pop of plum.
OysterGlow has to be my favorite shade out of the kit. I can see myself routinely repurchasing this color. It's so unique and has subtle glow. No glitter just a glow... It's perfect for brightening and pretty enough for all over the lid. I feel like I can scream to the whole world and tell them to go buy OysterGlow from Pixi.

Before After
In this picture, I did the water test. I soaked my hand in the sink and rubbed for 15 seconds. With water alone they all stayed put. When I rubbed OysterGlow held up the best and SageGold was the first to rub off. After I was done I washed my hands with soap and BlackNoir was the only one that partially stayed on my hands.
Now let's take a second and praise how cute these are. I love the flower design and how they are the color of the liner. Pixi always has the cutest packaging. They kind of reminded me of my Lumi Luxe Radiance Powder from pixi. They both have the flower design on them with a green background. Of course I can't talk about the radiance powder without swatching it. So I posted a picture below. I don't think they sell this anymore but you can find it on Amazon.com. It's a perfect highlight for the cheeks.
This kit also comes with a sharpener. Like most, it's a good single sharpener.
Overall, I think this is a fantastic deal. The eyeliners are so pigmented and long lasting. They have department store quality and a drugstore price. They deserve so much more hype in the beauty world. If I ever buy another eyeliner it will only be used for a review. I just can't see myself going without these ever again. Be sure to check out the other colors Pixi offers! Thank you for reading😊
