Cat lady problems! I spent the better part of my nine lives today hemming and hawing (and caterwauling even) over whether I could bear to ruin the pretty designs and patterns on the lipsticks, blushes and powder pans in Paul & Joe’s new feline fabulous cat-themed collection for spring 2012.

Every single piece in the limited edition launch, which marks Paul & Joe’s 10-year anniversary in cosmetics and skincare, is like catnip for CCLs! — a purrfect little piece of kitty cat art.

The release is divided into two parts. Part One: Kitten Collection. Part Two: Collection Sparkles.

The eight-piece Kitten Collection hums (or is that a purr?) with a matte pressed face powder, three stick blushes, three nail polishes and a waterproof gel liner while the six-piece Collection Sparkles pounces! — despite its awkward name — onto lips, eyes and faces with three lipsticks and three powders for faces and eyes. And the whole shebang is available now on Paul & Joe counters and also online.

Hmm… I don’t know how Tabs feels about waiting, but I think I need one more night with these pretty kitties before I take my brushes to ’em.

How do you feel about this launch? Would you give it a meow or a hiss?

P.S. “Mrow?” (translation: How was your day?)

No complaints out here. I did have my heart set on going to yoga tonight, but I’m still not feeling 100%, so I should probably just take it easy at home and self-medicate with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

About that reunion, did they really need to split it into multiple parts?

What are you up to tonight? 🙂
