The spring collection is released in two parts, first you have Collection Sparkles, which consists of lipsticks and face & eye trios and at the end of the month you will get the kitten collection, of which cat head shaped blusher sticks and a pressed powder with a cat silhouette and its very own paw print sponge are likely to be the stand outs.The lipsticks come in cardboard packaging featuring prints from Paul & Joe’s fashion collections and each lipstick is embossed with little paw prints.
There are 3 lipstick in the collection (£16 each): #75 Sex Kitten (beige nude with a bit of warmth, this swatches a lot more warm compared to how it goes on my lips so I wouldn't disregard this if you are cool toned like me)
#76 Meow! (cloudy pink)
#77 Catwalk (coral pink)
All shades are reasonably sheer, colours are soft and natural, the finish is satin. The lipsticks feel very smooth, moisturising and comfortable, yet I did notice these can highlight dry bits, so its best to check lips are smooth before application. I wouldn't say these are long lasting but nor are they fleeting like Chanel Coco Shines.Swatches L-R:Sex Kitten, Meow! and Catwalk
Ingredients:
Though I tend towards the more sleek looking brands, there is something very fun, fresh and young about the Paul & Joe seasonal releases so I couldn't resist this unashamedly cute collection and yes I am contemplating the cat head blush sticks when they launch.
I bought these from asos.com
Love sex kitten! xxxx
ReplyDeleteLovely to see what you got and great to see the swatches. Liking Meow a lot. x
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and wearable colors, and as always Paul & Joe has the cutest packaging! :) Thanks for the swatches :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! Thank you for the lovely swatches.
ReplyDeleteI love Meow! I've wanted one of the cat shaped lipsticks for ages. These are very cute too! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of Meow! I have a feeling the blusher is going to prove irresistible. It's a good job I didn't ban myself from cream blushers, isn't it?! ;)

Hi Drama and Makeup,
ReplyDeleteIt is a very wearable nude :)
Hi Sparklz and Shine,
It was your great post on the collection that spurred me on, so thanks for that :)
Hi Makeup Magpie,
Your right, I don't think there is another brand that has got the same "cute" factor as P&J :)
Hi Kristie,
Thank you, I really do like the attention to detail with the little paw prints :)
Hi Vintage Makeup,
I wanted those cat head ones as well but they seemed to sell out as soon as they were released, guess the novelty factor :)
Hi Jane,
I do think we might have to go for the blushers ;) You know I was thinking about your ban and the RBR new eyeshadow release soon and the two just don't seem to go together..... ;) xx
Waah!! How did I forget about that?! I suppose at least they're released around our birthdays. Gifts won't count, will they? *crosses fingers*
ReplyDeleteI did wonder ;) I think gifts should be ok, see you should have had a little exception at the end of your ban post saying excludes RBR :) xx
ReplyDeleteI really like your taste in lippie colours. I like warm, brown nude pinks A LOT and you seem to purchase these too. Lots of ideas of what to get next!
ReplyDeleteHi Imo,
DeleteThanks :) I do tend to go for those types of shades, though I can't wear them if they are too warm x
So loving these!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Eli,
DeleteI think a lot of people aren't going to be able to resist :)
These look lovely, and I must admit I want one of those crazy cat in hat blushes too! :P
ReplyDeleteI always love the P&J prints, haven't really bought anything from the brand in a while though..
Hi Lakshmi,
DeleteWell at least we can be together in the need for the crazy cat head blushers, I'm sure everyone wants one...secretly....
I do tend to look at P&J, think that looks nice but don't get round to buying it, so I was strangely quick off the mark this time ;) x
These are so cute.
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline,
DeleteThey do come up with some very cute collections, I'm surprised they didn't bring out a cat themed bag with this one as well :)
I love these! Thank you so much for showing them to us cat fanatics, or crazy cat ladies as the case may be :+) Could you tell us the price per lipstick, please? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I forgot the most important question---how could I forget to ask if you know whether the company tests on animals (which would be terribly ironic, wouldn't it)?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hi Isis,
DeleteLOL, it is a good collection for the cat fanatic :) They were £16 each.
I've not read anything to suggest that they test on animals or its done by a third party on their behalf x
Hi Replica,
DeleteThanks for your reply. One more ?, please....do you know what that translates to in American dollars? If not, I can find it somewhere. Ireally love those little cuties. ;+)
Hi Isis,
DeleteI checked online and they are $20 each :)
