Paul & Joe Lipstick and Compact Mirror

When I passed the beautiful Paul & Joe counter display at Times Square in Hong Kong, I knew that I just had to get something from it. I've always admired their beautiful packaging and it makes me want to buy everything and take them home!

They were promoting their 2012 Autumn Collection of lipsticks where you can have your pick of 20 different shades in 3 different textures: sheer, natural or full. The best part is that you can choose your lipstick case that goes with it! Then you just buy the lipstick refills and replace them when you're done!

They had 5 limited edition lipstick cases that were made out of a thick card material which were very cute but I wanted something that was a little bit more durable.

I actually really wanted the limited edition gold and green case, but I thought it was a little bit expensive for an empty case so I compromised and I chose their pink and white retro-looking lipstick case.

For the lipstick, I chose their Full Coverage "302 Retro" which is a beautiful pink-beige that is pretty close to my natural lip colour which makes it a great every-day lipstick. The formula is very creamy and moisturising to the lips. It doesn't have fantastic staying power on me but I don't mind, I end up having to reapply after I eat or drink anyway!

After I decided on my lipstick and lipstick case, this compact mirror caught my eye... and I made an impulse purchase. I love it though, it's so cute and fits perfectly into my little makeup bag that I carry around with me.

Have you used any of Paul & Joe's products? I'm curious to try some of the other makeup like their blushes. A brand that delivers on quality and packaging? I'm definitely on board!
