your horoscope and your lipstick color intersect when paul & joe celebrates its tenth anniversary.
is celebrating its 10 year anniversary in a few different ways. For one, they're re-launching their line of lipsticks. This fall, they're introducing 20 different shades--ranging from a sheer shimmer to a deep raisin--all refillable, so you can mix and match their ridiculously cute lipstick cases (this season includes one with a hyper-realistic image of a fluffy white kitten). They've also got an anniversary kit, which comes with a floral-print pressed powder and a slew of limited edition eye shadows. But the mystics in the office were most excited by the autumnal horoscopes they printed in their anniversary promotional newsletter; after all, we need something in between Susan Miller monthly readings. So we looked at the stars, stared closely at the new line of lipsticks, and predicted which color was best suited for each sign. Consider it a beauty makeover that's in the stars.
