“Thoroughly enjoying life, valuing every moment- that is the viewpoint of Parisians as well as Sophie Melachy herself. PAUL & JOE BEAUTE jobs a way of life that brims over with a sense of happiness as well as well-being.”
Happiness is a present aspect when it concerns the packaging of these beautiful spring products. this week I got my hands on the lovely #11 compact, also the #101 deal with as well as eye color combo, the #2 cream blush, as well as the #7 powder blush.
The compact itself is offered separately, as well as the products, such as the blushes, are developed to be interchangeable with the compact. This packaging is extremely practical for touchups throughout the day.
The deal with as well as Eye color Palette, the largest of the four products shown here, is likewise my favorite.
It’s stunning! as well as although I’m truly not a fan of perfumed cosmetics, I can’t assist myself. I like it right here (it’s faintly citrusy with a hint of lily).
One of the few French words I can really keep in mind is the word for butterfly (papillon)
How lovable is that?! provide me pop-up packaging in whatever I buy, please.
Eye color P as well as Cheek color P are both intense, however when used as well as correctly blended, can lend themselves to a multitude of looks. blush #07 feels like satin as well as leaves a lovely shimmer.
Like a sunset in a compact…
Of the three cheek colors, this duo is my favorite. It offers a spectacular glow that doesn’t leave me feeling like an oompa-loompa.
From top to bottom: cheek color P, powder blush #07, cream blush #02
The very first look I tried was similar to my go to — a easy feline eye as well as a strong lip.
I delight in utilizing eye shadow to line my eyes, mainly since at the end of the day when my wings are smudged, they tend to just look like a smokey eye, instead of a botched eyeliner job.
Eye color P as an eyeliner
This is most likely my general preferred of these products right here to wear. For this I utilized the copper shade as an eyeliner, wetting an angled clean for application. I do this on a regular basis since I like the impact it gives.
Often, with this method, my eyeliner ultimately smudges as well as fades, however with this formula, it stays put. I’m using cheek color P in these pictures as well, although I’m afraid with my red lip, it may not have been the very best choice…
It matches my glasses! NYX liquid Suede in Cherry Skies on the lips.
My last look with this duo is using the copper shade around my lid with the pink buffed into the crease. On my cheeks I’m using the cream blush in #7, utilizing Carolina’s “lit from within” technique. I have a tendency to look rosy anyways, as well as I didn’t want to look as well red!

These colors are dynamic as well as exciting, as well as using them everyday certainly puts me in the mood for spring.
Unfortunately, the snow that hit new York on the very first day of spring dampened that a little, however the sunshine promptly after helped. working with these colors the past week to see exactly how they can be used has reminded me to look for flexibility in the colors that I wear. I’m thrilled to go with my collection as well as see what I can work with.
I even tried a curling wand this week!
