Paul and Joe Face and Eye Color CS 078 Purr-fect Lipstick C 077 Catwalk Spring 2012 Makeup 1

.

I still remember seeing Paul & Joe Beauté‘s beautiful debut collection for spring 2002 in Biteki magazine. Over the years, the style of the packaging has remained the same, which I think is one of the elements that reflect the success of the line. It is the combination of the soft and feminine product packaging design and the seasonal fashion-inspired Collections Sparkles, which are based on designer Sophie Albou’s catwalk creations.

Paul & Joe’s spring 2012 Meow! makeup collection celebrates the line’s 10th anniversary, and the inspiration of the collection is Albou’s love of cats. Today I am featuring Face & Eye Color CS in 078 Purr-fect and Lipstick C in 077 Catwalk.

I like the simple and elegant packaging of the new Mirage Eyes and Genteel Face from Elégance’s fall 2011 makeup collection. The details on the mirrors are a nice touch. Mirage eyes features some very wearable colors, and the warmer browns and the olive green have especially caught my attention.
