Paul and Joe 2011 Christmas Holiday Ornamental Collection

Given my love for all things green, the Paul & Joe Ornamental Holiday Collection is an absolute feast to the eyes:

I'm so in love with the green and silver packaging.

But Paul & Joe isn't all mouth and no trousers - it's easy to think that so much style will mean a lack of substance. Production values and quality are as high for what goes in the box as they are for the beautiful presentation.

Paul & Joe beauty produce high quality products in a selection of sophisticated, wearable shades. Adorning limited edition ranges with prints from their seasonal lines, expect to find rich lipsticks, moisturising lotions and mascaras in matte and shimmer finishes.

The Ornamental collection - inspired by the elegance and traditional aspects of Christmas combines the whimsical yet playful nature of the season.

The Ornamental Make Up Collection

Silver Belles - Noel

The Ornamental Make Up Collection starts with this gorgeous bag designed to look like a Christmas bauble. The make-up collection includes a metallic eye cream, with a rich pigmented formula infused with white lily extract and orange flower water, a shimmering lip gloss to give lips a subtle hint of colour.

There are 2 choices:

001 Silver Belles

Paul & Joe Metallic Eye Gloss 001 - A silver shimmer eye gloss

Paul & Joe Lip Lacquer 001 – A perfectly peachy lip gloss

and

002 Noel

Paul & Joe Metallic Eye Gloss 002 – A nude shimmer eye gloss

Paul & Joe Lip Lacquer 002– A sparkly red lacquer

£30

Although I notice ASOS currently have Noel for £24

Body fragrance collection

Toyland - Mistletoe

Again the Body Fragrance collection comes in two choices:
