Originally, I had the below Paul & Joe lippies in a mega post, but it got too long and Blogger had trouble saving the post, so I ended up breaking it in half.
In this post are P&J's 20th Anniversary Lipsticks, Lipstick Bear, Lipstick Limited, Pearl Lipstick, Treatment Lipstick, and of course, more Lipstick Case CS's.
We're just picking up where the last post left off: 2021 Summer when P&J released a collection with two Lipstick Bears, 001 Blue Bear Calinour and 002 Red Bear Pupuce,
which I bought. The 001 Blue Bear Calinour was similar to the Tinted Lipstick 001 Globe Trotting in that it was a color-changing and
staining lipstick. I skipped it at first but later picked it up when I
saw it on sale.
For
these Lipstick Bears, P&J went back to their round paper tubes in a
pastel blue with the signature chrysanthemum prints. To show case the
bear-shaped bullets, the twist-up portion of the tube was clear. The
formula was similar to that of the regular lineup, soft and
moisturizing, with sheerer coverage which I liked.
The 2021 Winter Collection saw the release of the Treatment Lipstick 001 Bouquet de Noel and Lipstick Limited 010 Ruban de Noël, both in cat-shaped bullets with the kittie wearing a nightcap.
- Lipstick Limited 010 Ruban de Noël:
a shimmer-free and cool-toned bright medium pink that turned a warmer
on my lips. Thanks to the balmy and moisturizing formula, I quite enjoy
wearing this lippie even though it's a color I normally wouldn't reach
for.

These
were in round paper tubes with cute prints as well, especially the
Lipstick Limited 010 Ruban de Noël in red and white gingham print with a
cat face ^.^ Formula was fantastic. The Treatment Lipstick was
self-explanatory--a lip balm. The Lipstick Limited was also
balm-like in texture, but with decent pigmentation.
- Treatment Lipstick 001 Bouquet de Noel:
a clear lip balm with a buttery texture and was very
moisturizing. Despite it having no color at all, I like it so much I
picked up a backup tube when I saw it on sale.

Apart from the 2021 Winter Collection was this Makeup Collection Holiday 2021 with Lipstick Case Limited 007 on Day 11 to go with Pearl Lipstick 002 on Day 12, and Lipstick Case N L02 on Day 18 to go with
Lipstick Limited 009 on Day 19. All of the lipsticks and
lipstick cases were markedly different from each other, and different
than those from the Winter Collection above too even though they were all released
at the same time.
Lipstick
Case Limited 007 was a paper tube in the longer and thinner shape as
the regular line-up, and Lipstick Case N L02 was plastic with a white
cap and a pink ribbed twist-up handle.

- Pearl Lipstick 002 on Day 12: a transparent pale peach with large chunky glitters. Urgh. Out of all the P&J lippies I own, this one I absolutely abhor. They called it "Pearl Lipstick"
but it was really "glitter lipstick," as it had chunky glitters and not
shimmers or pearls! And because it had chunky glitters, the texture was
super gritty despite the soft and moisturizing formula of the actual lipstick itself. What a dumb way to ruin a perfectly nice lipstick.
From left to right: Lip Lacquer in Limited 001, these Pearl Lipstick 002 in Lipstick Case Limited 007, Lipstick Limited 009 in Lipstick Case N L02, and Lip Treatment Balm Limited 004, which was also loaded with large shimmer particles that rendered the otherwise perfect lip balm gritty. Why did they do that, I don't know, but I sure don't appreciate it :(
2022 Spring was Paul & Joe's 20th Anniversary,
and with it a special release of the LE Anniversary Lipsticks
in a lineup of 10 colors! All of these Anniversary Lipsticks had cat-shaped bullets and with different
pigmentation and finishes. I picked the below four colors: 001 Bowtie Blouse (sheer), 003
Port Secrete (sheer), 005 Baskets Rouge (natural), and 007 Paprike Marine (matte). And then of course they needed cases, so I went for Lipstick Case CS numbers 056, 062, 066, and 068.
- 001 Bowtie Blouse (sheer): transparent and shimmer-free tawny, very much a my-lips-but-better color.
- 003
Port Secrete (sheer): transparent and shimmer-free taupe-berry.
- 005 Baskets Rouge (natural): translucent and shimmer-free red-coral, a lovely daily wear red.
- 007 Paprike Marine (matte): shimmer-free and matte orange-red. As you can see from the swatches below, it was the most pigmented out of the bunch.
