In a blur of shimmer, floral prints and oh so pretty bows, Paul & Joe present their Spring 2021 collection and it is a feast for eyes. The collection promises to transport you to a sunny park upon the bank of the Seine to spend a beautiful afternoon enjoying the sunshine and a picnic with their gorgeous colourways and French glamour.
It's dreamy and just what you'd expect from Paul & Joe Beauty which was launched by Sophie Mechaly in 2002, following the success of her fashion line by the same name. The limited edition collection features three eye colour sets and three gel blushes - each as joyful as the next.
There are three eye shadow colours available for Spring in shades called Afternoon Picnic, Fields of Clover and Marmalade & Sunshine which is what I have. They're super cute and each come with three strips of colour encased in a floral box with a bow adorned with Paul & Joe's iconic cat.
Upon first look, Marmalade and Sunshine totally threw me but after watching Laura Lou Makeup's Reel that featured her using the compact - I was a touch braver and happily dipped my blending brush in that gorgeous pink shade!
The formula of the shadows are gorgeous - super soft, silky and perfectly blendable. They're a really great product to work with and they last too which is just what we want to hear as we head into those warmer months again.
Afternoon Picnic is one I have my eye on too!
Just like the eye colours, there are three limited edition blushers to choose from - Lumiere Dulce, Bavarder and Cerise which I've been testing out for myself.
They're quite a peculiar product especially upon first touch as the gel like blusher feels cool and bouncy but don't let that put you off - despite being made from 80% water they still pack a colourful punch and those oh so deep shades blend out beautifully. It creates a thin veil of pigment for a perfect finish giving a natural glow to skin. It also resists setting in pores and creases so the finish lasts longer.
All six of the shades mentioned are available to purchase now via Beauty Bay - shop via the links above to go direct to the product you're interested in.
