Paul & Joe Cat Collection

Monday, 13 February 2012






















This spring cosmetic industry has come up something very interested me, a cat lover. This idea seldom comes to the cosmetic world. And here it is. Paul & Joe Cat Collection. Their posters have been fascinated me and the design of cat is just too glamorous.

I bought them from ASOS with 10% off and 20% off code. (Sadly I bought most of them with my 10%off code and just one eyeshadow/blush(back order) with 20%off code) The packaging is the most disappointing part of this collection. Despite the design, the packaging is made of paper mostly. £21.50 for the eyeshadow/blusher and £16 for a lipstick are not cheap at all. I do expect some quality packaging rather paper.


Although they don't have great packaging, the product inside is still the main point of purchasing. Having cat paws print all over the bullet and cat featured in eyeshadow are extremely attractive. The best product among this collection I personally think is the blusher sticker. It is a sculpture of a cat head with hat. Also the packaging is better than eyeshadow and lipstick as It is made of plastic/PVC(?) a tougher material. However I didn't put them into my basket as I think there's a possibility of using this collection one day and I don't think I could able to let myself ruin that cute sculpture. Additional to that I am not sure about the texture of the products since I am still not ready to use them.

Last but not least, there is nothing special apart from the cat design generally. Paul & Joe provides good makeup but definitely not the best. It will be nice to have them as your collection if you love both cat and make up. But I don't think is a good idea if you buy them mainly for your everyday makeup. It doesn't have a firm package as it made of paper. For the same amount of price I would definitely able to buy better quality makeup on the market.

Illamasqua Nail varnish Jan swatches


上面拍出來比較像粉紅色,我覺得實物是深粉紅跟淺紫交界。

hahaa...weaken flash

日光的照片是塗好甲油一星期後拍,因為中指的甲油掉得很利害,所以我重塗中指。

可以比較一層跟兩層的分別,基本是,沒分別。這支甲油的顯色度十分高。



持久嘛,其實這支甲油很不耐"抓",頭一兩天很易會從指甲邊開始退進去(軟林林的甲油?)。能忍就忍一下。

Illamasqua lipstick and intense lipgloss swatches

Thursday, 1 December 2011


這是續上一篇開箱文的唇部試色篇


素唇的我(以下會看到很多次)

唇部色素沉殿問題真的很難改善,我是唇線的位置顏色較深。
每次去COSMAX做LASER FACIAL我的美容師都會幫我C6一下咀唇,坦白說沒打到起沙,那些黑色素改善有限,但當然好過無。(而且我也怕痛)

Illamasqua intense lipgloss SUCCUBUS






用後感 : 我很喜歡的BLOODY RED。要搽得很均勻要花小心思,除非你要求沒有很高,一般搽兩搽人家不會特別去留意你搽得均不均。

Illamasqua intense lipgloss MOVE
(這個是之前買的,我順手拿出來試色給大家看下)





用後感 : 唇膏住住常被選擇的三個顏色:1)紅 2)粉紅色 3)裸色 ,MOVE就在它們以外--紫色。
而且官網上的DESCRIPTION是DEEP PURPLE。
但搽上唇後覺得煥然一新,挺合適日常用,而且很優雅,我喜歡。

而且顏色有夠像我很喜歡的那對Jimmy Choo

這個紫色十分吸睛

 Illamasqua Lipstick Ignite



這張很有趣,所以我要貼上來

以上兩張都有先搽護唇,我已經選擇不是油油的那種,但我覺得有護唇膏下,唇色發揮不到。

所以我抹了再搽,這次不搽護唇。


用後感 : 沒搽護唇膏明顯啞色一點,潤唇度普通,我想是質地的原因。
這個顏色算斯文得來帶一點甜美

 Illamasqua Lipstick OVER






用後感 : 其實這個唇膏的質地也是較啞色的- -
上面拍的照可能是剛剛搽好,看上去仍然潤澤,過15分鐘一整個唇就會變Matte。(以下)



這個感覺我也很喜歡,較型格的。

好久沒放這麼多自拍上來- -挺不好意思的

--A quick price comparison--
Illamasqua intense lipgloss £13.00  (15%off  £10.4) 7ml
CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE LAQUE Luminous Satin Lip Lacquer £25.00 6ml (High end brand)
Max Factor Lipfinity £10.99 (Drugstore Brand)
(Products with high pigmentation)

Illamasqua lipstick £15.50  (15%off £13.18) 4g
Benefit silky-finish lipstick £14.00 3g (Counter Brand)
Dior Addict Lipstick £22.00 3.5g (Department Store Brand)
CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE VELVET Luminous Matte Lip Colour £23.50 3.5g (High end brand)

Repurchase? 
I will definitely repurchase intense lipgloss MOVE if I am able to finish one. I don't think I can find any substitute currently on the market. For intense lipgloss SUCCUBUS, I have Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in red #72 which the colour is very similar to SUCCUBUS. Even though the price is a double of SUCCUBUS, I will always repurchase Chanel Rouge Allure Laque as it has a nicer applicator and spread evenly. And SUCCUBUS...?ermmmm It is a nice product but compare to Chanel......

I am quite happy with the lipsticks. I like that it is not-so-matte formula so it won't dry out my lips. I tried Revlon matte lipstick which made my lips like a dried plum! I don't have a good looking lips. So I cannot use those lipsticks with absolutely matte texture. That will amplify the dryness of my lips and looks cakey.


一直裝扮不經意地陪在我身邊的寶貝
