PAUL & JOE BEACH BABY SUMMER 2013 COLLECTION

HI TO ALL,

I would like to thank Paul & Joe's PR for sending these two items for consideration and review.

 Considering the very short time that I have been blogging I appreciate the handful of companies that have been more then happy to work with me. Often that opportunity is usually more of a challenge for individuals like myself just starting out in either the "Blogger" or "YouTube" world. It can at times seem daunting and even discouraging when you see so many other's receiving huge collections of cosmetic items, and you the newbie is struggling just to get one product from a company, if your lucky. The cosmetic world is huge and never ending with new products being launched at us pretty much daily. So to financially keep up with that, with no other help except for what is in your own wallet can pose its own challenges.  I realize their are individuals who have a very strong established following and have been doing this much longer. How can anyone fresh and new ever move up if we only remain focused on those very specific individuals. Companies in general could be missing out on many great writers and Youtuber's because the light is only pointed in a few directions. However don't give up on your dreams because everything can turn around in a moments notice. It takes time, money and a huge amount of sacrifice, commitment and focus, but the fruits of your labour will pay off.  Just remember everyone "Over night success, usually isn't lasting success"
So that's enough on my brief rant, here is the review.

Paul & Joe nail enamel in #35 RIO - This is truly a beach baby colour, rich and bright like the red coral in the ocean it is a treat for the nails. It also has a beautiful scent to it which is a nice change.

 
Also another feature about this line that I love is the packaging, even the boxes the items came in are very pleasing to the eye. The bottle for this polish is very reminiscent of a time long past. Like a mother's vanity from the 1950's laced with pretty trinkets and bottles of sweet perfume. I do appreciate attention to detail for cosmetic packaging. Including this colour there are 6 nail polishes in this collection. The other colours are:

Miami - A soft lavender to get your nails petal perfect
Caribbean- For the lover of all things aquatic and cool
Bermuda- A romantic rose tone dappled in sunlight
Mauritius- A toe tickling pinky sand tone

All these polishes are LIMITED EDITION, so make sure to get your favorite colour before they are gone with the summer. Each bottle is 10ml and is $14

The second item is the
Eye gloss & Lip gloss Duo called SANTA MONICA these colours are very soft sensual rose tones sure to please most. I absolutely love the eye gloss it is long wearing, easy to apply and does not crease or look messy after many hours of wear. I find my self using this quite a bit lately because its just such a perfect colour.

Eye Gloss                 Lip Gloss

The eye gloss is very pigmented, super soft application. It really brightens up the eye and is good if your in a hurry but want to put on a bit of makeup to pep up your face.
The lip gloss is a favorite of mine because if you are on a tighter budget the perfect dupe for this beauty is Milani's crystal gloss called "Summer Baby." So either way you can get this look both high end or low end. This is a perfect rose gold tone gloss that makes anyone's pout look perfect.
I encourage you to try this eye and lip duo.
There is also 4 other duo's in the limited edition collection and they are:

Nice- A fun poppin punch of purple married beautifully with a delicious pink
Monaco - Bath your face in a sunny ethereal glow with these warm sand tones perfect for the neutral lover
Maui - Think sun ripened Sicilian lemons meet juicy Nantucket nectarines and your eyes and lips will be sassy and zesty all summer long
Bahamas - Think tacky yet trendy with this sure to be a hit "Pink Flamingo" colour that will have you flaunting your colours with this throw back to a time when everyone had a plastic flamingo on their lawn and a bright white folding lawn chair right beside it. Who doesn't love the vintage look?

So the eye gloss portion is 3.3g and the lip gloss end is 2.5g and these duo's are $34

All the Paul & Joe products have very fine ingredients which include but not limited to Jojoba oil, orange flower water, white lily extract, chamomile extract, pearl calc extract, sunflower oil, apricot oil, olive oil, amino acid. All these ingredients help to moisturize or prevent irritation and have emollient qualities. The pearl calc extract is in the nail polish and acts as a nail protectant.

I really and truly like these products and that is my own view and opinion after using them for just over a week now. I am not being paid for any of my views you see here today.

STAY BEAUTIFUL XO
