Paul & Joe Beaute‏ Holiday 2014 Collection :: Review

For a Holiday look that shines as bright as the North Star, glisten and gleam with the Paul & Joe Holiday 2014 Collection. From ethereal powders to luxurious creams, this collection is perfect for the beauty lover on your list. From adorably cute packaging to luxurious formulations, Paul & Joe Beaute is a line I have fallen head over heels in love with.

One of the items I received from the Holiday 2014 Collection is the Limited Edition Makeup Collection. These beautiful make-up bags contain a stunning eye shadow and a lip & cheek tint. They come in two shades. Both come with the beautiful pouch. One choice is warm and rosy and the other is deep and mysterious, you can achieve endless starstruck looks!

• Little Star 001- Lilac & pink eye shadow and pink tint
• Wishing on a Star 002- Brown & gold eye shadow and coral tint

I chose to review the Wishing on a Star Collection. It contains sugary sweet shades make for a wintery look that’s deliciously pretty with just a kiss of color. Add a warm, rosy snow-kissed glow to cheeks and lips and a touch of deep, dazzling pearl color to your lids. I love the eye palette.

The eye palette is a warm brown, like that of a star that shines on a forest from above. The colors are warm and sultry. I love Paul & Joe eye shadow because it is so saturating. The colors are always beautiful. Adding a touch of touch of deep, dazzling pearl color to your lids is the perfect way to go this holiday season. Then when your eyes are sparkling bright, move to the cheeks and lips.

Just the tube of the Lip & Cheek Color looks like a gorgeous antique. What's inside boasts a soft, mousse-like base that provides smooth, matte color to both lips and cheeks. I have never felt a texture like this. It is soft and light. The Lip & Cheek Color contain orange flower water (moisturizer), white lily extract (prevents skin irritation), jojoba oil (emollient) and rosemary extract (also an emollient). I wore it on my lips over my usual lipstick. It did not dry my lips out, and it added the nice coral color.

I also reviewed the Pressed Powder. This adorable compact features a sleek silver case which opens to reveal an enchanting owl perched on a golden crescent moon. The warm lavender base provides clarity while the yellow accent provides brightness, making the skin look soft and clear. Subtle gold pearl undertones and a gentle glitter base blends softly with the skin. I was a bit unsure about using this color of powder, but I was very happy with the results. I felt like it neutralized my skin and gave me a polished look.

Finally, I also reviewed the Waterproof Eyeliner in Roasted Chestnut. This retractable liner possesses all the finesse of a gel liner with the longevity of a waterproof formula, making for easy, flawless application. I love the shade and the application - flawless. The shade is a roasted brown toasted to perfection. I love Paul & Joe Beaute. This fun and beautiful brand would make for some fantastic gifts!
