Paul and Joe Sale Winter 2010 1

.

Joining the winter sale madness, I stopped by Paul & Joe at Harrods and Fenwick a couple of days ago.  (Paul & Joe’s sale items are usually recently discontinued products, soon-to-be discontinued products, and surplus stock, and they are usually (almost always) 50% off their full retail prices. (Have a look at this post for more information on seasonal sales on cosmetics in the UK.))

All the items I got this time are 50% off retail prices. I would not have purchased these items at their full prices (possibly with the exception of the Body Milk), but, with the considerable discounts, I was very happy to bring home and try these products:

.

It has been a long time since the last Japanese Cosmetics Focus post, and today I bring you Watosa.

Watosa is one of the brands that I mentioned in my post If I Could Go to Japan RIGHT NOW. Many years ago, I spotted some Watosa items in a beauty boutique in Hong Kong after seeing them on a few Japanese magazines, and I thought I had to leave the store with something.  I decided to go for Lipstick in 210 Metropolis Mauve. It is a deep plum mauve with a satiny finish. The paper packaging features the brand’s signature stripy patterns.
