I got this in a Smashbox kit which was on sale at Sephora, along with mascara, an eyeshadow trio, a travel size version of their foundation primer and a cute make up bag - quite a steal, since the whole thing was much cheaper than each one of the products themselves.
Anyway, this is a very nice nude gloss. The creamy caramel color is understated but gorgeous, the consistency is fantastic - not even remotely sticky or extra shiny or tacky, looks juicy yet very classy on lips. I get the feeling this would be gorgeous on anyone, from the fairest to the darkest person.
However I gave it four lippies because a) it won't stay on very long (but no lip gloss will, to be realistic) and b) it is indeed very pricy for the quantity you get - I would never have tried it if it weren't for the sale thing, which would have been a shame because it really is good. But €16 on a rather tiny tube of nude lipgloss? I'm not very happy about that, considering that the packaging is rather cheap looking. The consistency of the product is so nice I would love to try some of the other colors available, but the price is off - putting.
So for now I will try not to wear it all the time so it can last. When I run out of it, I think it's probably good enough to buy full price.

Great gloss. Beautiful pink nude color with a nice shine. Pigmented gloss and moisturizing. Got this off of ebay for cheap.

This is a very nice, slightly shimmery pale creamy peach. I don't get warm or cool, just natural and pretty. It's not too opaque, but also not too sheer ( I hate it when my glosses have no color pay off ) so on me its a shiny peach with a little pink from my lip color. The shimmer doesn't show on the lips. All smashbox glosses have wonderful texture.

As a product: I am partial to the older formulation of the Smashbox glosses (less sticky), although the new ones *do* provide more product. Very soft and not at all sticky, and no notable scent. Square, clear tube, doe-foot applicator (in the newer version, they have a brush applicator)


As a color: Pixel is the PERFECT semi-sheer dusty caramel-peach gloss. I detect slightly warm undertones, and just the tiniest shimmer that is understated, especially on lips. Very flattering to my NC20 skin.


As a whole: Strongly recommend pixel to all, especially if you can get your hands on the older formulation. Would rebuy in a heartbeat!


Complementary products: Sparkly copper eye (i.e. MAC honey lust) and peach cheek (i.e. NARS gina)

I got this in the mini tube about a year ago. I finally ran out and went and bought another tube which is now much larger and different color. Has anyone else found that?
I like this color since I am fair and have red in my skin because it's a perfect peach/pink/brown shade for my pigmented lips. I wish the staying power was better.
I am also disappointed in the company, I emailed them to find out if the color truly changed and I got no response.

I like this...it's a really nice nude color with a touch of pink. Goes with everything and doesn't wash you out. And of course, it's nice and moisturizing and NOT sticky.

This is a nice nudey color on my pigmented lips....however i had to take away one lippie cause i can't stand the smell. Overall its a very pretty color (pinkish- nude) and a MLBB l/g. I just wish it had a different scent or unscented.

Overall Rating: Beautiful nude color with a shine, though sometimes a little too much shine. Thick formula and you don't need to apply a lot to get the color. This actually replaced my Chanel Glossimer in Giggle and its even $7 cheaper!


Price: $18 dollars is kind of expensive but it's still cheaper than other glosses. I am still on the search however for a gloss of equal quality that's cheaper than this one however.


Packaging Quality: Packaged in your typical square gloss tube with a wand applicator. Though they did just change the packaging and maybe even the formula because it now says "Lip Enhancing Gloss", the new tube is clear instead of the old frosted plastic. I guess this lets you to see the color more clearly but, in my opinion, the shiny plastic makes it look cheap.

this is basically the perfect nude coloring. ive been on a search for a nice, everyday nude my whole life it seems. & i always run into the problem of too dark / brown nudes or barely there / sheer nudes. pixel is the perfect medium. the gloss is sleek & not sticky, nor heavy. i feel really pretty with just this product on, a tiny bit of pink cheek color, & mascara. i highly recommend this gloss.

UPDATE : i bought this product about a month ago, not even, & i'm almost out. i'm a little bummed; i think you should get more for the money.

Great lipgloss. I hate the smell, but other than that it is the perfect nude color for me. It is fairly pigmented and the staying power is decent. I may repurchase.

i bought this gloss based on MUA reviews and at first i was 'eh' about it...i just tried it on again and i do like it. i am forever on the search for the perfect nude lip - i don't care for the feel or look of actual lipstick and i don't want super shiney/glittery for a nude lip. feels really good on and not sticky. no grody smell either. so far, its the best. extra bonus is that its cruelty free! a little pricey, but nothing compared to what i've spent on other stuff trying to get the look. would be great if it had some sunscreen in it.

Goldilocks would have loved Pixel because it's "just right." On me (PPP, NC 15), it's a lovely nude color with slight warmth. It smooths on, shines, and lasts quite well. I got it with the Smashbox Beauty Book, so the price was nice, too. I am sure I'll repurchase. Hope it will never be discontinued--perish the thought!

Pixel is a very pretty nude that looks gorgeous with dramatic eyes or a casual/beachy look. Nice lasting power and price!

Perfect. Love, love, love. Perfect sexy nude color. Great texture, long-lasting, no annoying smell, no gritty sparkles. Just perfect. Looks AMAZING over MAC Moderne l/s. New HG!! Everyone should own this color!

A very nice nude lip color....not too light and not too dark....love it!

Edited: I think the ingredient that makes lipgloss sparkle/shimmer (the tiny little flecks of mica maybe) made my lips react badly after using this for a couple months.

I love the color of this gloss. I only gave it a four however because I do not think it lasts long enough on my lips and is a little pricey for the quantity of product you receive, I go through it way too quickly. I think it looks perfect with mac liner in stone. Perfect with a smokey eyes.
