Between the packaging of the product and the uniforms of the people at the counter, I don’t know which one draws me to the counter more. This brand is relatively new to the cosmetics world with select distribution. Paul and Joe was created in 2002 by French Designer, Sophie Albou. The line was named for Sophie’s two sons. Sophie created the line to encapsulate the brand’s philosophy of ‘fun loving sophistication’.
The line is nice for someone who doesn’t like a lot of make-up but still wants to be pretty. If you’re missing Stila Cosmetics, it kind of reminds me of the same type of product.

The shadows are probably my favorite part of the line. They’re sheer and shimmery, yet they give just the right amount of pop to the eye.
I also like the emory boards (which have the design of the season on them).

We could all use a little help in the brow department and I am the one who loves to tweeze so I am now paying the price. I have a few spots that I have to fill in everyday and I would be lost if it weren’t for my M.A.C. Brow Set.Brow sets are great because they are just like a mascara but for your brow and they will give you that little bit of color to fill in your brow, but not so it looks drawn on. M.A.C. Brow Set comes in 5 colors to match all brow hair colors and there is also a clear if you were born with fabulous lashes but just need to tame them.
All you do is take the wand, sweep it through your brow, and it will deposit a nice wash of color to give you a fuller, clean, and gorgeous brow without looking like Groucho Marx.
M.A.C. also makes another brow product called Brow Finisher, it comes in 5 shades and it is like a large pencil that deposits a wash of color but in a cool wax like texture. A little of this goes a long way, I have had a pencil for a month now and you would think it was brand new!
There is no excuse for bad brows when you have these fabulous products at your fingertips! Remember, the Brows frame the face so… you could do an incredible makeup, but if your brows are bad, you can forget it!
