I got the Paul & Joe Loose Powder in #02 Vanille and Pressed Powder in #02 Vanille from an online seller who bought it at the earlier prestige sales. Prestige Products Distribution is the company selling Givenchy, Loewe parfums and Paul & Joe cosmetics in SG. They held a warehouse sales during end Nov and I missed it. Glad i got it cheap online - loose powder at $35 and pressed powder at $25. I think it was going for $23 for loose powder and even cheaper for the pressed powder at the sales. But counter price for loose powder is $77.
This is the older version of the loose powder. the newer version has an 'N' after the product name. But I think the shade should be the same. The pressed powder is a translucent shade, with obvious fine shimmers. very nice, but wonder if it will make me look like a glitter ball if i use it all over my face for touch-ups.
The casings come in a very romantic nude shade, with the brand's signature chrysanthemum motifs embossed onto the iridescent plastic. It feels very "solid" but they're not heavy. Tthese 2 are my 3rd and 4th Paul & Joe items. My first 2 are birthday gifts from 2 different buddies on 2 different yrs. What's funny is, they don't know each other but they bought me the SAME lip gloss in the exact SAME shade.
I got my 2nd pc of gransenbon blush in blossom pink #7 from watsons. It's a discontinued shade in Japan. Once it's sold out in SG, it will never be replenished. So, get it while you can...
My first pc was bought from an online seller, who got it from Japan. So i was quite lucky to have owned it. So what happened to the first pc? My sis looked really pretty in it, so i gave mine to her.
Blossom Pink #7 - it's a really pretty pressed pink blush with gold shimmers. Shimmers are quite obvious, so some find it a tad too shimmery and unsuitable for skin with big pores.
Mom says I've got only 1 face but way too much cosmetics.
