So, this was also in my birthday present pile; I've ended up with quite a few bits from the Paul & Joe summer collection. I love the packaging of this lipstick, and I am glad that the pattern is printed directly onto the plastic rather than being on a sticker (which I think can look a bit cheap).
Swatch on my hand. A sheer warm pink with golden shimmer.
Picture applied. It adds a nice warm pink to the naturally pale colour of my lips, but I'm not sure about the shimmer. It's not frosty though, and the effect is very pretty; this is a lipstick I can see suiting many different skintones and colourings. It does also feel very comfortable on my lips.

ooh, the colour is gorgeous and the packaging is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteit doesn't look that shimmery on the photo though, you pull it off rather well.

I was pleasantly surprised that P&J's summer lippies would be in a plastic tube instead of a paper one.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty on your lips.
I agree with the prettiness of the packaging - just got a Sue Devitt lipsick where the prettiness is just on the box and the bullet is just silver, as for the colour, you can pull it off but for me it is just the frosty side of sheer and a bit too cool - looks nice on you though
ReplyDeleteHow pretty is that! I want it now...
ReplyDeleteI think it looks really pretty and fresh on you Grace...I still prefer the classic P&J lippie packaging though (yeah, I know, minority probably :-) ).
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat is my sort of color too- bad Grace....you get me into so much trouble ;O)
Oh it looks lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteI've ordered the Sahara and just waiting for it to come.

Very pretty. I've still not tried any Paul & Joe. What would you consider a comparable brand in terms of their lipsticks?

It's pretty on you and I can't detect a bit of shimmer at least in photo. The shimmer I don'[t like is when it is left on lips after rest of color fades off.
ReplyDeletePaul and Joe is so hard to find in person in the Northern California market - I think these brands are missing the boat.
You had a successful birthday!! I love the lipstick on you.
