Paul and Joe lipstick #14 Strawberry Jam

I haven't bothered putting on makeup today, but did don my new Paul and Joe lipstick to show you what it looks like on me.

Hermmm... Pretty much as I'd expected, from reading other bloggers' reviews; one of those natural, "your lips but better" shades. Nicely moisturizing, without flavor or much in the way of scent, pleasant texture on lips—ever so slightly tacky, actually, reminiscent of a good sticky pot lipgloss—but requiring more frequent touching up than my regular Dr. Hauschka.

I rather like it, but can't see a tremendous investment in P & J lippies coming on. Thank G-d. lol #14 is deep pink and warm in tone; no shimmer that I can detect, glossy finish (as I say, feels a bit like a pot gloss on the surface).
