Paul & Joe Beaute holiday 2015 makeup Collection in Le Bal Masque 002 ($42, one of two nine-piece holiday kitteh-themed sets)
I have so lots of burning concerns for Paul & Joe about the feline mask-wearing lady on a few of the pieces in the new Paul & Joe Le Bal Masque holiday 2015 makeup Collection.
Like, where is she going? Is she going to a Thanksgiving masquerade ball, or does homegirl run tasks around town using her feline mask like that? since that’s something I’d absolutely do, which reminds me — why doesn’t this collection come keeping that mask? It seems like a missed opportunity…

Also, presuming that our masked virtuoso is likewise a feline woman (it’s a risk-free bet), exactly how lots of cats does she have?
One cat? Two? four cats? Seventeen?? In other words, is she living the feline woman dream, as well as does she get as ecstatic as I do when Paul & Joe goes buck wild with a new cat-themed collection?
Meow understood as the go-to makeup line for CCLs (translation: crazy feline Ladies), Paul & Joe has everything figured out. Whenever they go all the method with a new cat-themed release, like they have right here with Le Bal Masque, my tail immediately twitches with interest.

There are cats around the location in this collection! — as there must be. There’s the masked woman on the makeup bag, who likewise makes an appearance on the increased Balm tin (which you can utilize on your skin and/or hair); the kitties on the eyeshadows; the cream blush; as well as even the eyeliner.
SO lots of KITTIES!
It’s a lovely thing…
Le Bal Masque is one of two new restricted edition $42 holiday makeup sets from Paul & Joe this year, one of them warmer toned than the other. Le Bal Masque is the warmer option. The other one, Oh Carnaval 001, includes cooler-toned pastels.
The Paul & Joe holiday 2015 Le Bal Masque Eye color L Eyeshadows
Both sets are covered in cats as well as offered meow at Paul & Joe counters as well as online. Each one includes nine pieces (like nine lives!!) — the feline woman bag, five Eye color L Powder Eyeshadows, one Creamy Cheek color L Blush, one water resistant eyeliner as well as a tin of increased treatment Balm.
Le Bal Masque, the set I’ve been using as well as loving lately, is the warmer of the two. very first of all, the feline woman on the bag is absolutely speaking to me…
Not literally, of program (that would be trippy!), however I feel like she as well as I have a specific kitty connection. I would likewise wear that attire of hers with the mask any type of day of the week…assuming they had a pregnancy version.
Check out the eyeshadows…

Interesting packaging, yeah? It’s not commonly that you see powder shadows packaged in flat paper packaging with a plastic cover.
To utilize it, you pull off the plastic cover (the thing with the yellow mask for the cats, erhmahgawd) to expose the powder shadow with the feline pattern underneath. The plastic, which has a sticky adhesive around the edge, seals shut once again to keep the eyeshadow risk-free when not in use.

At a glance, the eyeshadows look like something you may utilize once, or perhaps twice, as well as then throw away, however they aren’t. They’re much much better than that. Paul & Joe handled to get a unusual amount of product in there. I’ve already utilized them a number of times as well as have yet to make a genuine dent in the shadows.
Obviously, they won’t last you years, however I believe you might get three or four months out of them. Heck, perhaps even six, depending upon exactly how commonly as well as exactly how much you use.
I don’t feel like I have to utilize a ton of each one since they’re waaay pigmented — much a lot more pigmented than other Paul & Joe shadows I’ve used, which normally hover around moderately opaque in coverage.
For something like the daytime look I’m using here, I just do a single layer, then buff out the edges. Of course, you might stack them on for a a lot more remarkable evening look.
Paul & Joe holiday 2015 Le Bal Masque water resistant Eyeliner
Oh — that Creamy Cheek Color? It’s an absolutely charming matte rosy brown. like the eyeshadows, it’s much a lot more pigmented than I expected it to be, as well as it stays out of my pores, which I truly appreciate. It likewise has a charming light jasmine scent that fades swiftly on the skin.
As for the water resistant Liner, I believe it’s adequate… It’ll get the task done, however it hasn’t haunted my dreams or anything. It’s one of those incredibly thin ones that you twist up, so it’s suitable for precision tightlining, for getting down at the base of your lashes, as well as it sticks well to my upper water as well as lash lines, however it absolutely refuses to stay put on my lower water line.
It may likewise be a bit drying, however then again, that might just be the season… My skin’s been additional dry lately.

I believe the increased Balm is quite neat as well as cute. It’s moderately moisturizing as well as smells lightly of roses. It leaves behind a minor sheen on my skin as well as my hair.

OK, that may be a bit much…
