Paul & Joe Lipsticks have been a serious LIFEsaver here at Facade. For a woman of any age, these lipsticks have a range of beautiful color and always a wonderful texture. We have recommended them for a girl of 6 to swipe on like a sheer sparkly balm, to a freshman in highschool, a young bride, a working professional, a stay-at-home mom, all the way to a retiree.

At any age, we’re all MAD for lipstick that glides on easily, never feels sticky, and is a little bit different than any other shade you’ve seen before. Which is why we are so excited to announce the debut of Paul & Joe’s brand new lipstick collection at Facade!

What’s amazing to us is that it was like it was MADE for us! Our Facade brand eyeshadows, blushes, and powders have always been sold seperately from the compact so you can customize them exactly the way you want… Similarly, these new lipsticks are sold seperately from the case…So you can choose the color you want in a range of available textures (sheer, natural, and full-coverage) and then pick the case you’ll pop it into to. Genius! A fun beauty treat and a fashion statement all in one! When you need more of your favorite shade, you can just buy a refill lipstick and pop it into the same case–but you could always buy a new one if you wanted to spice things up a bit!

Sheer: These are INCREDIBLY sheer. Don’t let the seemingly bright pinks scare you. Just the teensiest breath of color is delivered in each of these balm-like lipsticks, for a very natural-looking (and feeling) lip with a delicate hint of tint! From Left to Right: Secret D’or(101), Sheer Bliss(102), Just Peachy(103), Mademoiselle(104), & First Kiss(105).

Natural: These go on feeling silky and creamy. Very true to the color they appear, only varying slightly on the mouth depending on your natural lip color. A beautiful range of color: some of which are slightly opalescent, and others are slightly more matte. From Left to Right: Potpourri(201), Pret-a-Porter(202), Petite Princess(203), Toujours Heureux(204), Strawberry Jam(205), (206), Grapevine(207), & Le Marais(208)

Full Coverage: Providing the maximum amount of coverage while still feeling light and silky on the mouth, these colors hug your lip and stay moist throughout the day. From Left to Right: Mon Mimi(301), Retro(302), Silk Stockings(303), Rouge(304), La Vie en Rose(305), Avenue Montaigne(306), & Cathedral(307)

Fall 2012 Limited Edition: Two “full coverage” textures (003 & 006), two “natural” textures (002 & 005), and two “sheer” textures (001 & 004). We are IN LOVE with 004 “Beloved”!!! We’re crossing our fingers P&J will consider keeping it permanently! From Left to Right: Cupid’s Kiss (001) sheer, Eros(002) natural, Tenderness(003) full-coverage, Beloved(004) sheer, Venus(005) natural, and Je T’adore(006) full-coverage.

Once you’ve selected the desired lipstick ($17), the fun doesn’t stop. Time to pick a case! A paper case or the signature pink & white plastic case is $5, and the limited edition vintage-inspired turqouise metallic case is $20.

All of these items are available for sale at our store location in Uptown Park near the Galleria in Houston, TX.

Look Younger with Makeup

Try these tips to start looking (or KEEP looking) younger and more revitalized!

1.) Moisturize!

Think of your skin cells like grapes vs raisins. Cells with plenty of water are plump and smooth– cells without it look shriveled and collapsed. For de-hydrated skin (i.e. skin lacking water NOT oil) try Darphin’s hydraskin serum, $75– what they like to call “the little black dress of skincare” because everyone could and should have one! Dry skin (lacking oil) might switch to a richer cream. Also drink plenty of water!

 

 

 

 

2.) Use a liquid to illuminate under the eyes.

Natura Bisse Sheer Cure Eye cream, $115,  mimics the pretty glow from YSL’s Touche Eclat–but has something YSL doesn’t–powerful anti-aging benefits! Fighting under eye darkness and puffs, while lifting and firming. Plus sheer iridescence that gives skin under the eyes vitality! Avoid using thick concealers on this area: it thins as we age, causing this to look worse not better.

3.)Use a translucent powder.

Our hearts flutter a little when we think about Bye Bye Pores from IT Cosmetics, $24. It’s so finely milled that it doesn’t settle in and hi-light fine lines and wrinkles. Instead it creates a sort of “veil” like effect: diffusing and softening the appearance of the skin, and making larger pores magically appear smaller!
4.)Use cream/liquid blushes.

Cream Blushes keep the skin looking dewy and hydrated instead of dry and powdery. Apply it to the apples of the cheeks- where you would NATURALLY flush for the most youthful–and natural–look. We’re gaga for the 8 new shades from Kevyn Aucoin, $24–
pictured here in shade “Isadore”.

 

 

5.) Fill in eyebrows.

Whether it’s from over-tweezing or just becoming sparser over time–brows tend to lose their density as we age. Get the youthful look back by delicately coloring the skin between hairs in the brow. Paul & Joe’s “skinny brow” pencils, $22, are slim like mechanical pencils which makes it possible to draw in individual hairs-without fear of looking like Groucho Marx!

 

6.) Start with a shadow primer.

A primer not only increases wear-time of your eyeshadows–the best ones also help smooth the appearance of the tissue on the eyelid which can start to look crepe-y as the aging process takes over. IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Lid Lines, $25, not only does these things but also contains green tea, vitamin K, and collagen for their anti-aging benefits. Win-win!

7. Don’t be so scared of shimmer!

Seemingly every woman over 35 thinks she can’t wear shimmer– Unfortunately many makeup artists helped spread this falsehood. But look at Susan Sarandon, Diane Keaton, and Helen Mirin above and YOU tell ME they don’t look great! I double dare you! The key is to LIMIT shimmers to a few areas. All of these ladies have dewy glowing cheeks, and a highlight somewhere on the eye. Diane Keaton chose to highlight the inner corner of her eye–giving it that glint like she’s up to something. Mirin and Sarandon chose to highlight the browbone. The trick is to use shimmer on the FIRMEST part of the eye to show off how smooth it is! Using shimmer adds dimension and interest to your look. A face done entirely in matts looks dull and lifeless–and you want to GLOW! Try any number of our beautiful Facade eyeshadows with a satin or pearl finish, $18.50 each.

8.) Try a lash serum!

Long, dense lashes are a sign of youth and vitality. If yours are starting to diminish, try undoing the damage with a lash growth serum. We love Revitalash, $100, which goes on once a day like a liquid liner and helps generate new growth while conditioning lashes. It’s even better that there are no reported side effects like with the prescription, Latisse.

 

9.) Plump your lips!

We’re not talking about that over-injected bee-stung look–we just want to restore fullness from your youth.Lipsmart, $30, keeps skin cells in the lip hydrated so they remain plump and smooth (remember the raisin metaphor earlier?)

10.) Try on a NUDE lipstick.

It doesn’t have to be paler than your mouth–try something close to your natural lip tone. When you’re concerned about feathering in lines around your mouth bright colors are your WORST enemy! So instead try something a little more understated. Plus, when lips have lost volume very bright or very dark colors can make the mouth look even smaller. For suggestions from Facade, refer to our earlier entry: “The Perfect Pout“. Don’t believe you can get away with “not wearing enough color”? Look at those pictures of Susan, Diane, and Helen again! Their lips definitely aren’t loud!

We were thrilled when we heard Paul & Joe was going to release their newest Spring Collection in homage to the cat! Not only is the packaging beautiful, but many of the products have patterns pressed in the product itself like paw prints across the lipsticks, and blusher sticks shaped like adorable kitties with top hats and bow-ties!

Many stores are already sold out of some (or all) of these products and because they are limited edition, they cannot be re-ordered.

This collection has gotten rave reviews (and helpful tutorials) all over the web!

We, however, have quite a bit still in stock! In addition to the cute kitschy products, there’s also a brand new star in the collection that we hope will become a permanent member of the Paul & Joe Beaute family– the waterproof Gel liner! We are LOVING this stuff! It comes with it’s own brush and glides on easily. Plus, it truly lasts! We love this for creating a thin line on the upper lashbed and blurring a little with our own LORELEI waterproof pencil. Use a swipe more on the outer corners of the eye as a “dovetail” that will last all night!

Lipstick $20 each

Blusher Stick $28 each

(001 is a beautiful highlighting color to make the nose look a little straighter, highlight tops of cheekbones, or even highlight the brow bone or put in center of lower lip for a little frost and shine)

Nail Enamel $14 each

 

Face & Eye Color Palettes $36 each

Gel Liner $25

Pressed Powder $42

Plus, Corinne ordered the rest of the kitty lipsticks made a couple of months ago so we’ve still got plenty left! Check out our previous post about that here for pictures! Due to the limited availability and the fact that they will never be made again, they are $30 each.

 

We are happy to ship any products throughout Canada and the U.S. If you are interested in ordering, please e-mail us at facadeuptown@aol.com or call the store at 713-552-1545 and ask to speak with Kate or Jason.

OMG! We could hardly keep these Limited Edition Paul & Joe lipsticks on the shelves when they debuted a few seasons ago. You get everything you expect from a Paul & Joe lipstick- creamy texture, beautiful color, and the gorgeous limited edition cases that any of their other lipsticks can be swapped into later… The only difference is that THESE lipsticks are shaped like adorable KITTENS! Beyond cute!

When we found out that the molds were destroyed but there were still a few of these left, we swiped ALL of them.

All of these shades would be flattering on most skin tones. Stop in the store to try one out or call to order! (713-552-1545) We WILL ship! But hurry!!! We know from experience these cute critters won’t last long! Each $30.

“Each delectably creamy lipstick contains PAUL & JOE’s ‘SECRET D’OR,’ a blend
of several varieties of champagne gold frost, each possessing a different
overtone and a sparkle that varies subtly depending on the angle from which you
view it. Together, these proprietary ingredients provide a gorgeous color with a
sheer, highly translucent sparkle! Packaged in compact tubes printed with
patterns from PAUL & JOE’s newest fashion collection. And, as it deserves a
second mention, there’s a kitten carved into the tip of each lipstick!”

Pssst… Our rep, Jocelyn tells us that they WILL however be having equally as cute kitties made into a larger creamy cheek stick soon! Keep your eyes peeled!
