Holiday Gift Guide Featuring Paul & Joe

Keeping with my holiday theme, I thought I'd share two cute products from Paul & Joe that would make perfect stocking stuffers. The packaging is too cute and they're perfectly sized for stockings and purses alike.


"Give the gift of hands of silk this holiday season with the Paul & Joe Silky Hand Cream. Naturally fragrant ingredients in the formula include citrus notes such as lemon, orange, mandarin and ginger, providing a bright and refreshing scent." /source


Paul & Joe Silky Hand Cream ($17, 14g) is housed in a beautiful blue tube that's just so pretty to look at. It has a pleasant scent that isn't too strong and it doesn't linger for long. It feels silky upon applcation and it leaves my hands feeling hydrated.  This cream is perfect for winter!


Paul & Joe Eye Color CS in Caprice Girl 110 ($30) is a limited edition, two-toned neutral eyeshadow duo. It comes in a cute vintage style box with an applicator that's lightweight and portable. These two shadows look stunning together and swatch beautifully, however, they don't apply the same way on the eyes. I had to build them up a lot for them to show up (especially the lighter shade). Once on, they look stunning and wear for the whole day without creasing or fading. Since these shades are quite light, I like to pair them with a bold red lip for a look that wows.


You can find these and other Paul & Joe products online at beautyboutique.ca and in-store at select Shoppers Drug Mart's.

Paul & Joe Holiday 2017

Cat lovers rejoice, Paul & Joe Beauté have released their holiday beauty collection and it's purrfect!


This super adorable set comes with a feline print makeup bag, a lipstick embossed with a red cat,  liquid eyeshadow and blusher. Before I get into my reviews, behold the beauty that is the Paul & Joe Holiday Lipstick 😍


 The Paul & Joe Lipstick Limited 003 comes complete with a red cardboard tube with feline print and a clear, shimmery lipstick, with a red cat face inside of it. Apparently the face will stay if you use the lipstick, but it's too pretty for me to test it. This lipstick is going straight into my collection vault!


The neat thing about Paul & Joe lipstick is that you purchase your tube and then the lipstick separately. This allows you to customize your lipstick however you like. Should you decide to use this holiday lipstick, you can keep the LE tube and buy another lipstick to put inside of it!


Paul & Joe Shimmering Blush 001 is a stunning coral shade that adds natural flush and radiance. It's sheer but pigmented and applies like a dream. It's housed in a small compact and the blush is embossed with a floral design. This blush is a real winner!


Paul & Joe Eye Gloss 001 is a shimmery, golden eyeshadow that comes housed in a clear tube with a doe foot applicator. The packaging is quite luxurious and I love it's compact nature. It's easy to apply, but takes awhile to dry down and will settle into your crease. I use a bit of translucent powder to minimize creasing and it helps. If you try to blend it, it will lose its base pigment leaving you with just glitter. All in all, I like it but I don't love it.


This holiday set is just too cute to pass up. So if you see it, grab it before it disapears!
