In addition to Guerlain So Particular and various fashion shows, I also had the pleasure of attending the ACI Beauty Spring/Summer 2015 Preview. ACI is a distributor of various beauty brands such as Stila, China Glaze, Clean, Cargo, St. Tropez, and more. The event featured an Ardell lash station, Ceramic Glaze mani appointments, and a Paul & Joe presentation.
Paul & Joe Beaute
Combine a French fashion label with Japanese beauty technologies and what do you get? Paul & Joe Beaute, daintily packaged products that perform with prowess. Artistic Beauty Director & Global Make-up Artist for the brand, Craig-Ryan French (who has worked on the sets of the SAW series and Defiance) walked event attendees through the history of the brand and a few of Paul and Joe’s classic products. Some standouts were the lipsticks, blushes and eyeshadows with interchangeable packaging with fun prints and the orange blossom scented primers and foundations. Paul & Joe is FINALLY available in Canada at select Shoppers Drug Mart stores - Hillcrest Mall (Richmond Hill, ON), Robson & Burrard (Vancouver, BC), Richmond Centre (Richmond, BC), Chinook Centre (Calgary, AB).
Ceramic Glaze
Ceramic Glaze is China Glaze’s sister brand available exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart. Made from the same technologies as China Glaze, the line includes 23 colours from brights and neons to classic nudes. Polishes are formulated with clay adhesives and plasticizers that dries quickly and results in long-lasting polish that also hardens nails. Above are photos for the Stunning Soiree and Spring Bloom collections.
Ardell Lashes
I’ve heard of Ardell Lashes but haven’t yet tried them out. If you’re not familiar with the brand, Ardell offers a massive selection of false eyelashes. At the event, I had the #110 style applied on me. The pair was quite natural, surprisingly comfortable but still made my eyes pop.
All in all, a ton of new beauty things to get me excited. I’ve already dipped my fingers into a few Paul & Joe products and I’ll be slowly swatching up ALL of the polishes. Is there anything here that’s piquing your interest?
