Paul and Joe Lipstick Case CS 027 Spring 2015 Makeup 1

.

I had a look at (some of) Paul & Joe‘s spring 2015 makeup collection in Selfridges a few weeks ago, and I decided to get Lipstick Case CS 027 from the collection. (Some of the items were not out at the time. I didn’t see the new Face & Eye Color CS palettes.) It is the only item from the collection I definitely wanted, and I remain undecided about one of the new Nail Polishes.

Paul and Joe Hand Cream R Holiday 2014 Bodycare 1

.

Earlier, I talked about Paul & Joe‘s Makeup Collection 2014 in 001 Little Star and Pressed Powder T in 001 Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star for holiday 2014. Today I will share my thoughts on Hand Cream R from the collection.

The floral print on Paul & Joe’s Face & Eye Color CS in 073 42nd Street & Lipstick C in 072 SoHo from the fall 2011 makeup collection is among my favorite prints from the brand, so I was excited to see it on Hand Cream R from the fall/winter 2014 bodycare and fragrance collection. (In the UK, the three Hand Creams are part of the holiday 2014 collection. The two Fragrance Hair & Body Mists are not available in the UK).

Noritaka Tatehana at SHOWstudio in London

by PJ on Monday, November 3, 2014

in 2014 Fall, fashion

I stopped by SHOWstudio in London to see Noritaka Tatehana’s SHOWcabinet exhibition a few weeks ago after watching a program about him on NHK World (Rising Artist, October 1st, 2014).

Tatehana gained worldwide attention after his heel-less shoes were worn by Lady Gaga, and the NHK World program highlighted his inspiration and techniques as well as documented his process of putting together the SHOWcabinet exhibition.

Paul and Joe Lipstick Cases CS Fall 2014 Makeup 1

.

Back in May, I was a little surprised to see that Paul & Joe would be releasing ten Lipstick Cases CS for fall 2014. (I suppose they do go hand-in-hand with all the new lipsticks (thirteen regular ones and three limited editions).) It was also a surprise for me that five of them would feature prints from past years, which I didn’t think would happen, even though the brand occasionally used past prints for its GWP items.

I stopped by Harrods earlier this month to have a look and I purchased seven of them. I also went for Lipstick in 107 Rose Sorbet, which is a very pretty rose pink and one of the thirteen new regular shades, but let’s look at the new Lipstick Cases CS today.

Paul and Joe Eye and Cheek Color Set 001 Holiday 2013 Makeup 1

(So many cats in this photo……)

.

Since the Paul & Joe counter at Fenwick closed in May and there was nothing on sale at Paul & Joe at Harrods this summer, I thought I’d post about my winter sale 2013 purchases last December, which I didn’t manage to write about at the time.
