The Paul & Joe Brush Holder

The Paul & Joe Brush Holder Box
The Paul & Joe brush holder comes beautifully packaged!

Although this Paul & Joe makeup brush holder has been available for years, I only recently decided to purchase it.  

It is well made, compact, and easy to keep clean.  I have other brush holders, but I find that this particular one is perfect to place used makeup brushes in, or any brushes that need to be cleaned.  Once I have washed my makeup brushes, I use Brush Guards and place the washed makeup brushes inside one section of this brush holder where they can dry.  

The Paul & Joe brush holder has a pleated fan shape pattern.

The brush holder is patterned in a pleated fan shape, with raised chrysanthemums for a Paul & Joe signature look.

It's also practical to use for makeup pencils, and I store my pencils in one half of the brush holder.

The divider inside the Paul & Joe brush holder cannot be removed, it's built-in.
There is a divider inside which separates the brush holder into two compartments.  It is a permanent divider though, and it cannot be removed.

The brush holder definitely looks like it belongs on a makeup vanity from a by-gone era - a little art deco, a little glamorous.  The only drawback about this brush holder is that it is small.  Measuring 4' at the base, 5 1/2" across and 3 1/2' high, it's not practical for someone with a large brush collection.  It would have been nice if this brush holder was available in a larger size.

Paul & Joe Brush Holder is available at the Dermstore for $23.

My November 2011 Birchbox is like a blast from the past!  Elizabeth Arden, Shalimar and Eucalyptus body cream?  1985 called and wanted their stuff back!


The standout item in this months Birchbox is undoubtedly the Zoya nail polish in Sooki.  Zoya is a repeat for me with Birchbox - so far this year this is my third Zoya sample.  But I love Zoya nail polish so I really don't care!
