Paul & Joe Foundation Primer Part V

Now that I've tried several of Paul & Joe Foundation Primers, I totally get why they have a cult following in Japan. Even I have developed my own favorite among them. I dislike the idea of a "HG" product--I cringe at the word, but let's just say that I will always give a new P&J primer a try because, yes, they're totally worth it. 

First up is the Pearl Foundation Primer 005 Bonani Versale released in Spring 2022 as part of Paul & Joe 20th Anniversary Collection. This was the 4th Pearl Foundation Primer I've had from P&J, so I know they aren't without problems, but I'm a total sucker for them nonetheless. Who could resist these colorful pearls suspended in clear gel?

Paul & Joe Liquid Rouge

These Paul & Joe Liquid Rouge were released in the spring of 2021 with 2 types: a Shine Type in 8 colors that are pigmented with a glossy finish, and a Tint Type in 3 colors that are sheer and also with a glossy finish. I was starting to use more lip glosses around this time and picked the latter Tint Type in 01 Cocktail Cherry, 02 Tutu Ballerina, and 03 L’Heure du The.

Paul & Joe The Oil

The last piece of my morning skincare routine when I went on a week-long visit with the in-laws was this 25mL bottle of Paul & Joe The Oil, also from the Makeup Collection 2021, on Day 7.  

Paul & Joe Herbal Lotion

In addition to Paul & Joe Moisture Lotion, I also brought this 25mL bottle of Herbal Lotion with me on the same trip. This too came from the Makeup Collection 2021, on Day 17.

Paul & Joe Moisture Lotion

This 25mL bottle of Paul & Joe Moisture Lotion was from the Makeup Collection 2021, on Day 6, and I took it with me to use on a visit with mum-in-law last summer along with a few other products like the Body Oil, Herbal Lotion, and The [facial] Oil (will post these next). But of course I totally forgot about these posts since and they got buried in my draft folder.
