Paul & Joe Cream Parlour Lipglosses: Something You Don't Need But *Should* Have
Look at these beauties!
Just look at them and try to hold back the urge of trying to grab them through the screen. Yes I know how you feel.
Paul
& Joe has always been in my list of beauty brands that need special
attention and craving. Their cat-shaped lipsticks are a dream for any
cat lady/gentleman out there. Cats and lipsticks, no dream has ever been
wilder and more ambitious, yet Paul & Joe has done it to leave us
in awe. However, I try to avoid them as much as my willing power
permits, not only because of the hefty price tag but who on earth is
cruel enough to destroy that cat lipstick?!
That
being said, though, during a massive ASOS sale 2 months back I think,
these were unbelievably reduced. Originally priced at £18.00 each,
Caramel Ribbon was down to £5.50 and Orange Pineapple £6.00 which was
too good to be true. On top of that I also had a 20% off coupon marking
them down to only £4.40 and £4.80. Talk about bargain! I believe they
are currently out of stock but you can always take a peak here to grab them up as soon as they come back.
As you
can very well see, they come in a squeeze tube which contains an
enormous amount 17ml of product inside. I love the design from the box
down to the very cap, they all have the iconic Paul & Joe flower
that I find fun and sophisticated at the same time. There must be a
reason apart from the product's quality that high-end brands are brave
enough to charge a good amount of cash on these.
- Caramel Ribbon is a semi sheer brown shimmery gloss that can be worn on its own; the shimmer particles are very fine so it's not at all uncomfortable to wear.
- Orange Pineapple on the other hand is a sheer yet very creamy pastel orange/coral.
I
have worn these for quite several times now and each time I did, I love
the feel of them on my lips, even the shimmery one. They're a teeny
weeny bit tacky, but in the sense of clinging onto your lips, not making
your hair stick onto them (as if my hair is that long). Averagely they
last for about 3 hours and were moderately moisturising when worn.
Orange Pineapple, being a pastel colour, does settle onto lip lines a
bit but not too noticeable.
I
simply adore these and cannot recommend them enough. For such lovely
packaging, divine scent and beautiful formula, I think they should be
present in everyone's makeup collection. There's one other colour in
this collection: Strawberry Syrup that I'm having my eyes on...
