IT MAY be winter outside, but in our hearts and on our faces, it’s spring, because weve been experimenting with the incredibly pretty Spring Creation collection from Paul & Joe Beauté.
Paul & Joe Beauté Spring Creation collection
Paul & Joe Beauté combines French chic with Japanese cuteness to create collectable beauty products packaged so perfectly that they are almost too pretty to use. Fortunately, the colours and textures are completely irresistible, so you will use them, and often. And there is no need at all to throw away that oh-so-desirable packaging, as the lipstick cases and compacts can be re-filled: eco-friendly, as well as innovative and desirable design.
Paul & Joe Papillon de Printemps Face and Eye Colour Palettes
The two limited edition Papillon de Printemps Face and Eye Colour Palettes are inspired by the delicate and bright iridescence of a butterfly’s wing, and offer two powder eyeshadows and one cheek colour in a pop-out display. A smoky dark gold and hot pink combination, teamed with a dramatic rose-red blush, opens with a flutter of en-tremblant butterflies.
For fans of the brand’s famous feline prints, a pop-out pussycat in a flower garden adorns a combination of chocolate brown, and iridescent green eyeshadow teamed with pink blush.
New Paul & Joe nail colours in Black and Heliotrope
Five new nail colours come in four flattering shades of pink, from baby-pink through to fuschia, with one black patent polish. These polishes are retro styled but with a modern sensibility: formulated with organic plant oils, to strengthen and protect.
New Paul & Joe lipsticks and cases
Three new creamy lipsticks in pink, orange and red can be popped into three new limited edition cases. Choose from a signature Paul & Joe cat, a pastel pink butterfly design, or our favourite: Take A Walk On The Wild Side – a jungle print featuring the cutest tiger.
Paul & Joe Beauté powder blush and cream blush
This season Paul & Joe Beauté offer ten new powder blushes, with two shades of colour in each pan. These can be blended for a perfect sweep of vibrant cheek colour, or applied individually to contour and highlight. For those who prefer to pat and dab their way to rosy cheeks, Paul & Joe Beauté offer the new Creamy Blush, available in three shades. We particularly love the soft feminine pink of Kitten and the deep rose-red of Punk Rock. All blushes are compatible with the new limited edition compacts.
