Has anybody tried Paul & Joe cosmetics?

I have a couple of products from them and I'm really pleased with what I got

The packaging looks good, the products do what they're supposed to do and they feel like quality purchases. The range is a bit on the expensive side but not too far out of reach - I'm happy to spend my money on stuff that really works for me. If I had more money, I'd buy more products from Paul & Joe because it just feels like good value for money and the products actually work, too!

You can also buy them from Hair Care, Skin Care, Fragrances, Cosmetics & Accessories – BeautyBay.com, they have a large selection in products and shades from the range

Light Cream Foundation N, shade 00
This is the best foundation I've ever tried. They have a shade that's light enough for me that's a perfect match, it's perfect for dry skin, it's light but covers at the same time and you can't tell I'm even wearing foundattion! Most foundations don't have a shade that's light enough or if they have something that somewhat matches my skin, you can really tell I'm wearing foundation because it just doesn't blend in. I'm definitely going to keep using this foundation for as long as I can.

This might be too moisturizing for oily skins and if you need really heavy duty covering, you might try out some of the other foundations they have. I get zits from time to time but this works well with a concealer.

Pressed Powder N, shade 01
I really like this powder because it doesn't darken my make-up at all like most powders do. I was told in the shop that you can also use it on your forehead, nose and chin to bring a little light there rather than as a powder to match your skin. The only downside is that it has mineral oil, Paraffium Liquidum, in it but since it's pretty down in the list I figured it won't cause any problems.

Face Powder N, shade 01
The same thing as above but in loose form. I love the puff that comes with this even though I don't use it often because it's just so soft! The container is rather big and clearly meant for keeping on your dressing table because the lid comes off really easily and if you tip it over the powder goes everywhere. I also hope they supply refills as it'd feel like an awful lot of waste to throw out the container after the powder is gone.

Protective Foundation Primer UV
Again, I like the product. It has high SPF (30+ USA, 40+ Europe/Asia), which is good for pale people like myself and it makes my skin look good and make-up last. The primer is light yellow and not runny like I read from a review at Make-Up Alley. I read from the same review that the primer lasts for long even though the tube is pretty small.
