True I was paying more attention to red and vampy colors lately. Nothing cheers me up like pretty pinks when I am feeling a little down, though.
Paul & Joe Face Color G in Nymph
Lipstick Refill in Cupids Kiss housed in the plastic case (sold separately)
See my haul post HERE. :)
I put these in my makeup pouch and have been using them for daily touch-up.
No matter what I wear for the day, a little pink for touch-up always works for me.
I must admit that I enjoy those "oohs and aahs" from other girls whenever I bust out these beauties from my pouch as well. ;)
Nymph is a bright pink with lavender undertone infused with silvery specks.
I did a comparison swatch using Cargo Amalfi & Nymph since they look similar from the pans.
(L-R)
Cargo Amalfi, Paul & Joe Nymph
Amalfi and Nymph have both silver shimmer and the similar tone but in my opinion, they are different breeds of pink blush.
As you see in the pic, Amalfi is a tad warmer and its shimmer translates into a fine sheen where Nymph leaves bigger specks that are almost big as glitters.
I don't mind these sparkles myself and I actually enjoy them but I know many didn't like the color because of this.
However, let us consider this collection was inspired by "Midsummer Night's Dream".
Silvery Glitters are only appropriate if you think about that. ;)
The color is easy to blend in and shows up pretty well on me.
It has some milky quality but it doesn't look too powdery or dry.
Cupids Kiss is a rather warm toned bright pink that is very very sheer.
This lipstick color is from Paul & Joe's sheer range and it is indeed so sheer some might even call it a tinted lip balm.
I think it is a lot like L'Oreal Colour Riche Balm since it goes on sheer and super glossy, but the difference would be that Cupids Kiss leaves a pretty stain behind after the shine is gone.
The color seems to get a little darker over time, too.
I am a big fan of sheer glossy lipsticks and I have been using this almost daily, so the pretty bullet is now much shorter. ;-/
