In October, I featured information on Paul & Joe‘s holiday 2009 collection, which includes makeup, fragrance, and bodycare products. Today I am reviewing two items from the collection as well as Pearl Powder in 01 (released in 2008).
Pearl Powder is a loose powder eyeshadow that feels soft and lightweight. 01 is a sheer pale beige with a very light-reflective pearly finish and multi-colored shimmer. It goes on much lighter than how it looks in the jar, and it is a brightening color that doesn’t create a shadow. It mainly shows up as a veil of pearly shimmer.
It can be used as an eyeshadow base if you like quite shimmery eyeshadow bases. Also, as a pale beige that happens to be quite sheer, it can also be used very light-handedly as a highlighter for the face or as a shimmering powder for the body.
Pencil Eye Liner in 001 is a dark blue-black. It has a velvety finish with a hint of shimmer. It goes on relatively smoothly and is waterproof. The staying power is satisfactory. (There can be minimal movement after a day’s wear.)
It is lovely to see purple, one of my favorite colors and a trendy makeup/fashion shade in the last few seasons, used in Paul & Joe’s holiday makeup pouch for 2009 (Pouch C IV). The purple goes well with the gold, and it nicely shows off the satiny sheen of the fabric. As I mentioned in the earlier post on the collection, I would have liked the gold pattens to be a little more delicate.
Paul & Joe’s holiday 2009 collection also includes two eyeshadow palettes, two new Pearl Powders, the other (of the two) Pencil Eye Liner, and two highlighting powders, and all these items, along with those two reviewed above, are limited editions. On the other hand, the new Lip Lacquer, the re-launched fragrances (Blanc and Bleu), the new bodycare items, and Cosmetic Pouch III are regular items.

Here is a look at Shiseido Clé de Peau‘s spring 2010 makeup collection. The collection includes Rouge à Lèvres (8 shades) and Ombre Couleur Solo (5 new shades). Four of the eight Rouge à Lèvres shades feature a velvety finish, and the other four have a luminous satiny finish.

Here is a quick look at IPSA‘s spring 2010 makeup collection. The collection includes items for eyes/cheeks, lips, and nails, and the packaging of this collection has a Rococo feel to it. These items caught my attention since IPSA doesn’t usually have very ornate product designs.

Ettusais (a Japanese makeup and skincare brand owned by Shiseido) will release its spring 2010 makeup collection in Japan on January 21st. The collection includes two new items, Melty Touch Rouge (above, 5 shades) and Jelly Gloss (15 shades).
The limited-edition Melty Touch Rouge combines color and gloss and it looks interesting. It can be potentially quite moisturizing as well. I think the gloss inside the lipstick is probably more of a jelly texture than of a liquid/gel consistency.
