Advantages: Mixes well, nice textures and gorgeous packaging

Disadvantages: Too expensive to buy the whole set :(

Really pretty winter face/ eye colours - available in three colour ways:

058 pressed petals - Pink and Gold
059 atelier - Green and Brown
060 lullaby - Pink and Brown

I Would love to have all three shades - the packaging is so cute - and different colours and patterns for each one. Would look amazing as a set of three in a make up bag.

I picked pressed petals because I think this is the most versatile - you can use the colours separately, blended or just use a big brush to mix it up as a brozer/highlighter. Even though these are the 'winter' shades there's no reason not to use these colours all year long - also nice and versatile for day and night - not too glittery so good for the office.

Because this is a face powder and not just and eyeshadow (although it works nicely as one) the size of the 'contrast' colour is decent - which isn't always the case with the Paul and Joe colours. Paul & Joe powders have a nice depth and texture and last well - especially if you use a good eyelid primer. Nice soft shades, you can build the colour with a few coats if you like - but a nice light wash also looks great. Paul and Joe reccomend that you tap the brush you are using on the back of your hand before applying, in order to evenly spread the colour - then apply where ever you like, either mixed or singularly.

£14 at HQ hair - which I think is great value - Nice to have a bit of Paul and Joe Glam in your life if you can't afford the clothes ( know I can't).

The spring make up collection is also looking amazing - But I haven't tried anything yet

Summary: Paul and Joe's usual standard is matched
