PX Panik Haul and other stuff

Wow, PX discontinuing really hit me harder than I thought. I didn't have a lot of their stuff compared to how much mineral makeup I have but I still have some stuff and really loved the ease of choosing colours because of the Colorprinting setup. I rushed down to the PX counter and hauled:

Curvilinear brush-have not tried it yet but the SA had no trouble using it with my minerals and it looked great

Instant Smooth Exfoliator-thick concentrated amounts of cream that requires a small amount to totally smooth my skin. I will have to find another one when gone but it's 100ml so it will take awhile

U-Pick Pink Plum pan blush-a mauvey pink plummy blush with a bit of shimmer for my lazy days when I cannot manage mineral blush

PX Mineral Makeup-got it off ebay for a good price, incidentally the ingredients look similar to Isadora's mineral makeup. If anyone has tried it do a review.

Fruits and Passion was closing and everything was 50% off so I got a Pineapple body butter and a Avocado body oil. I never liked the smells, too citrusy and strong but I did need a body cream and it was the scent that was not the strongest of the bunch

Aromaleigh samples of Voile and Glissade, plus Lollypop lip cream. I think I am 2w/2yl (but did it as a mix, not the actual sample) for colour but the Glissade is a bit darker because of the silicones. I loved the Voile but the bizarre way the colours from 1w, 2w, 3w just jumped from light, medium dark to very dark when there should be in between colours just made me want to look at this line some other time. If 2w is too dark then 1w is way too light, more in the realm of PPP. There would be no choice but to mix with this huge difference. Plus the shipping policies turned me off.

For curiousity's sake I went into MAC and played around with the colours. I finally figured I am a NC20 or NC25. But the place was so crowded, I could not test anything for any length of time and I was too scared that I would have skin problems again with the MAC stuff. There was some tempting stuff but not the makeup so much.

The skincare looked intriguing, why no one reviews it here is unknown. There was a scrub that looked similar to the PX Instant Smooth but was more pricey.

I'm glad you got to stock up on your favorites. They aren't closing until the end of January, so sometime between now and then I'll be doing that as well. I love their All Skins Mineral Liquid Foundation and Powder so I want to be stockpiled with it for as long as I can!

Glad you were able to stock up, Shirl. I got myself away from Px because I knew I had to, but I'm glad I found a great replacement. I'm a MAC NC20, and their Studio Fix Fluid has been really good to me thank goodness.

Nice haul.
I'm trying to stock up on my fave Px moisturizer while I can. It seems like the website is sold out so I need to hunt it down in stores now.
Enjoy everything!

Which one do you like? I can give you the the PX counter info, perhaps you can order it from them if you get desperate.

It's the All You Need+ Fast Acting Moisturizer for Oilier Skin (no SPF).
The SA at my local Macy's counter ran an inventory report of the Macy's in the area that had it in stock. I already have 4 back-ups but the other Macy's are quite a drive away. I think it's already discontined because no Macy's had over 5 in stock.
I'll probably check Nordstroms next.
