Paul & Joe Spring 2012 Collection!

With Christmas and New Year all done and dusted, it seems right (yet very wrong all at the same time) to crack on with upcoming spring collections, no?! This beautiful looking collection from Paul & Joe is right up my street, and that of any other cat lovers' (obsessives) too, I expect. The fantastic feline products are fun, look great and come in an assortment of fab colours too - have a look!

The standout product in the collection to me are the Blusher Sticks (£21 each), I mean come on... they're shaped like cats(!!), of course they stand out. Although actually, I could probably never bring myself to use them for that very reason, but what the hell, they're great! They come in shades: Glamour Puss (soft beige), Minou (pastel pink) and Cat Fight (energetic tangerine).

Matte Pressed Powder

I might also find it difficult to break into the Matte Pressed Powder (£28) and Face and Eye Colour CS (£19.50 each) too because of their lovely little cat prints. Am I the only one who would find it difficult to 'break' these, is it weird (haha)?

Face and Eye Colour CS shades are: Siamese, Please (neutral bronzes and beiges), Kittycat (matte nude and pearly pink) and Purr-fect (smoky, yet subtle ivory and moss).

I am loving the look of the lipsticks (£16 each) that come in 3 shades; Sex Kitten (sexy beige), Meow! (natural pink), and Catwalk (healthy orange) - the final 2 being the shades that are calling to me. I also love the little paw prints in the lipstick, it's little touches like this that make Paul & Joe really stand out for me.

Three nail polish shades are included in the collection (£10 each), and whilst colourwise they all seem to be quite generic shades that don't really stand out to be as being special, they are still lovely and worth buying if you don't already own that kind of shade - and the bottle is gorgeous, as ever with P&J. I could still be surprised by these in real life, as from the stock images I can't really see if they have any shimmer or anything different about them. Shades available are: Tigress (nude beige), Kitten Claws (elegant pink) and Mainkineko (flirty pink).

Finally, also included in the collection is a waterproof gel eyeliner (£16), purrfect for creating cat eyes, and comes with its own little brush which looks great.

So, what do you think of the collection m'dears, do you likey or not? x

Paul & Joe Christmas Collection 2011!

I can't believe I am saying this, but Christmas is coming(!) and I've already started doing my Christmas shopping and my own wish list (trying to be organised, for once); so I think now is a great time to tell you about the gorgeous looking Paul & Joe Christmas Collection so you can add your favourite pieces onto your Christmas wish list to Santa! The collection includes:

Ornamental Self Select Eye Colour's, £12 each - These come in pretty little boxes with different designs and a ribbon attached, so they can also double up as Christmas Decorations once you've got your shadow out. I love this idea, the hippy in me likes less waste and this is such a great way of doing it.

 Joy To The World

 Silent Night

 Midnight Clear

 Deck The Hall

Fa-La-La-La-La

Nail Colours, £10.50 each - Paul & Joe polish bottles are beautiful, but it's what's inside that counts and these polishes do not disappoint. They're colourful and sparkly amd they're perfect for Christmas (although frankly, I think that you could easily get away with wearing them in the summer too).

Asos Order - Done!

I've been 'window shopping' for bags for a while on Asos, putting items into my basket and then not being able to choose which ones I should buy, and in which colour. So when I got to my bare minimum in terms of the styles I really loved the look of, I decided not to choose which colour, and instead ordered them all. My thinking being that I can send back any that don't grab me so much in the flesh (that's the theory, I might actually like them all - eek!) and then at least I've made some progress.

My items!

• Asos Twist Lock Satchels in Mink and Tan - £42 each!
• Asos Twist Lock Satchel in Chocolate - £35 (showing as sold out now though)!
• Paul & Joe Nail Enamel Trio - £8.75 (total bargain)!
• Nica Alicia Satchel, Black - £30!
• Rocketdog Boots - £28 each!
• River Island Superskinny Jeans (still can't believe I'm buying 'super skinny' anything, hope they fit, ha) £27!
• Firetrap Wysteria Boots in Grey Suedette - £40!

I'm still waiting for the majority of my order to arrive, just one bag arrived so far with a broken clasp, so that is bring replaced. What do you think of the items I've bought?
