by Attention, makeup companies and packaging designers: printing pics of sad, doe-eyed kittens on the cover of cosmetics compacts WORKS.
Hey, it worked for me.

I’m finicky about my face powders, and when I find a few I like, I tend stick with ’em. These days, I’ve been turning to the MAC studio Careblends and Tarte pressed Powders, but I physically couldn’t resist trying Paul & Joe’s Matte pressed Powder in Cinnamon 001.
This near-translucent $42 face powder padded on the scene with dainty little kitten paws. part of the Paul & Joe Kitten Collection, it’s become one of the more elusive kitties in the release, or so I’m hearing through the grapevine (apparently, I haven’t been the only makeup fiend to fall for this packaging). I adopted mine from beautyhabit.com, but when I checked back later, it was no longer listed there.
The feline fun doesn’t stop with the cute cat on the outside of the compact, either. There’s also a paw print powder puff in the compact and the silhouette of a kitty on the pan.

Tabs feels that he deserves some of the credit for the idea… After all, the model, as Tabs put it, has “some junk in da trunk” — an obvious indicator of Tabs’ influence in the world of plus-size kitty models.

As far as pressed powders go, Cinnamon seems nice. before I tried it on, I thought it might be too light for my tan, but when I apply it with a fluffy face brush, the semitransparent look reminds me of MAC Blot, which I like. When I use the included powder puff, though, I find the powder very easy to overapply, in which case it starts to look ashy.
I don’t expect to be able to wear this with a deeper tan when summer rolls around; I think it might be too light for that. If your skin tone is much darker than mine (I’m an NC 42 in MAC), you and this kitty may not get along.
Cinnamon doesn’t appear to aggravate the dry patches on my combination skin, and it also controls the shine on my forehead well, so the formula works pretty well for me. I do find that I have to touch up about halfway through the day.
Like most Paul & Joe products, Cinnamon has a scent. My nose likes this one, which reminds me of violet hard candy.
I could stare at this packaging all day long, but with a $42 powder, I expect even more than that. Don’t get me wrong, I think Cinnamon performs just fine, but life changing, it’s probably not.
Of course, that all depends on how much you like the packaging… They do say that cats choose their owners.
