Paul & Joe Beaute began in 2002, so it’s their ten year anniversary this year. Designer, Sophie Albou named it for her two sons, Paul and Joe. I have some of the very first lipsticks and eye shadows they ever produced but I can’t find anywhere on line to date them. I think they must be from maybe the second or third collection, but I don’t think the very first.
As you can see, they’ve stayed pretty true to type over ten years, with each product reflecting a material design from the Paul & Joe fashion collection. At the time of launch, there had been nothing even vaguely similar so it was very exciting.
This one (above) is my all-time favourite, followed closely by the design below. In fact, a friend bought me the make up bag in the same design so I have the entire set.
I don’t have anything that early – so jealous! I think they’re from 2003-2004. You can go to the Paul & Joe website, they have a “Collection Sparkles” archive to see exactly which collection they’re from, if you’re curious.
Click on About Paul & Joe, then click on Beaute x Fashion and click on the archive.
Thanks! that is so useful.. have been in the archive and looked..yes, 2003! now of course, I am desperate for 2002!
They always have the nicest packaging. Thats so cool you have so many of their early lipsticks.
Sooo gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing!
I’d be lovely to see some swatches as well unless.. you have never swatched them due to their cute design. 
So pretty, Paul & Joe is one of those brands I could buy JUST for the packaging but the products are great too.
Oooh! These make me happy just looking at them.
