My Thoughts:
The Pixi Early Bird Kit comes with three beautiful blushes, two bronzers, one highlighter, four eyeshadow base powders and sixteen eyeshadows. I like how easy these are to work with, how nicely they blend, and how build able the shades are. They have a really soft and smooth texture, which I really like. The colors in this kit are designed to make you look wide awake in an instant.

The eyeshadows do have some fallout (some eyeshadows have more fallout than others), but you can avoid a lot of it if you tap of the extra product that's on the brush before you apply it. I also found the eyeshadows on the right side in this kit to be a little more pigmented and easier to swatch, than the eyeshadows on the left side. There is only one matte eyeshadow in this kit, the rest of the eyeshadows are shimmery shades. Three of the eyeshadow base powders are matte as well, which are great for highlighting the brow bone, the inner tear duct or applied all over the eyelid.

The blushes might look a little scary at first, but they are very build able. You can sheer them out, or you can build them up and make them more intense if you prefer that. I love that this kit comes with a light and a dark bronzer. If you have a lighter complexion and you think that the darkest bronzer in this kit is going to look too dark on you, you can just use the lighter one and then use the darker bronzer as an eyeshadow instead. If you have a darker complexion, the lightest bronzer is going to look beautiful as a highlight. The highlighter in this kit isn't too shimmery, which makes it perfect. It looks very pretty and natural on my skin.

I really like that this kit gives you a lot of different products to play with. You can mix and match different colors and get the look you desire. You can even use the blushes, bronzers and the highlight shade as eyeshadows if you want. The packaging is just gorgeous, and I love how it doesn't take up much space in my makeup drawer. I definitely recommend this kit to everyone who love shimmery eyeshadows. If you are looking for a palette/kit with more matte shades, this might not be the right one for you :-)
