Wild Rose is a super-wearable rosy-brown-mauve shade, and one of those "goes with everything" shades. It would look best on cooler tones, but I think warm-toned ladies could definitely pull this off too. It's not too pale as well, so it would look great on more tanned ladies as well. The website's description of this as "mauve rose" doesn't do enough to capture how gorgeous this shade is. I think the product has many good things to recommend it: a nice formula, great, wearable shade, a nice buildable pigmentation, blendable texture, sensible, practical packaging, its ease of use, and a decent price point. What I liked most about PIXI Multibalm sticks is definitely the finish. Unlike many cream stick products, these were not even a little bit greasy, which I know is a dealbreaker for those of you with oily and combination skin. Instead, they set with a powdery finish that doesn’t look like it was a cream product at all.
PIXI infused the formula with Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, and Rose Hip Oil to nourish and protect the skin, but I don’t think the amount is significant to make any real difference. I will say though that despite looking matte they don’t feel dry on the lips, so I guess that Shea Butter is doing its magic after all.

What I love about Pixi multibalms:
– all of these shades work really well with my skin tone
– love the packaging, it’s really cute and sturdy
– love that these are multitasking, you can use these on your skin and lips
-they’re convenient and easy to use
-these can be blended together to create custom shades
– they have a soft and smooth formula and apply easily
-they’re long-lasting and perfect for that “barely there” look, even if you’re not wearing any makeup, these are nice to use just to add a little color to your complexion
-they can be layered for a more defined look or simply dabbed on for a more delicate/sheer look
-these balms are very nicely pigmented
What I don’t love:
– I honestly can’t think of anything that I don’t like about these. I kind of wish that they came in a few different colors, maybe ones that are a bit more subtle. I really have nothing to complaint about when it comes to formula and wear of these.
