From Paul & Joe‘s fall 2016 A Stroll in the Park makeup collection, I went for Eye Color CS in 102 Autumn Leaves and Lipstick Case 034. The two items feature the brand’s main print for this season, which I find very attractive, and, among the three variations of Eye Color CS released for this season, 102 Autumn Leaves is the most wearable for me.
Paul & Joe Eye Color CS in 102 Autumn Leaves (ポール & ジョー アイカラー CS 102 秋色の葉/ Paul & Joe 漫步公園眼彩餅 102 秋葉, ¥2600 in Japan, £17 in the UK) is one of the three limited-edition variations of Eye Color CS for fall 2016. The three shades in this variation are:
- light yellow gold, lightly-to-moderately pigmented, with high-toned pearly shimmer
- light peachy orange, lightly-to-moderately pigmented, with pearly shimmer
- medium-to-dark warm brown, moderately pigmented, with a satiny glow
All the shades have multi-hued light-reflective particles. They have a very smooth texture and are very easy to apply and blend. They have a good staying power.
As a base shade, the light yellow gold can look quite yellow-y, and I tend to apply it light-handedly. The light peachy orange looks fresh with a touch of vibrancy. It is more of a lightening shade as it doesn’t create shadows for the eyes. The medium-to-dark warm brown is not particularly pigmented as an eye-lining shade, and it is easier to layer it for more intensity with a sponge applicator. (The product doesn’t come with an applicator.)
The overall look is fresh, and it looks more spring-like than autumnal. Salmon pink, peach and orange eyeshadows have been popular in East Asia for a while, and the light peachy orange in this palette falls into this color category. The shade suits me reasonably well, but I do prefer my gold-toned bronze browns.
I like the feather fan motifs (with feathers and leaves) of the print on the case, and I particularly like the use of colors for the motifs.
Paul & Joe Lipstick Case CS 034 (ポール & ジョー リップスティック ケース CS 034, Paul & Joe 漫步公園唇膏盒 034, ¥1000 in Japan, £7 in the UK) is one of the three limited-edition designs of Lipstick Case CS for fall 2016. (There are also three limited-edition designs of Lipstick Case WB from the Looney Tunes & Tom and Jerry collaboration lineup for fall 2016.) It has the same print as that of Eye Color CS in 102 Autumn Leaves.
The print can also be seen on items from Paul & Joe’s fall/winter 2016 collection from the brand’s fashion line.
