Hey guys!

Today we have the other half of the butter LONDON Eventfull 6 piece set that I purchased before Christmas to share today!

Keep Clam is the main reason I purchased this whole set, if I'm being honest. I love love these types of rusty, orangey, sort of "ugly" colors! This was 2 perfectly lovely coats.

Royal Appointment is a dark taupey brown. This was 2 coats with a few areas dabbed with a little extra polish. Not quite a 3rd coat, but worth mentioning.

Cool Britannia is a deep navy creme. This looks pretty much black on the nails, lol. But it's a pretty polish and dries very shiny.

Talk to you soon!

butter LONDON EventFull Swatches!

Hey guys!

I purchased the 6 piece butter LONDON Eventfull set before Christmas and am just now getting around to swatching these. Since I'm not a fan of overly saturated posts with pictures, I broke this up into 2 posts, with 3 polishes in each post.

Warm Fuzzies is a taupe creme. This had a really nice formula, covering in 2 coats. All of these polishes did dry very shiny, as well! I've not tried the Patent Shine line before but they seem to live up to the "shine" name.

Mum's the Word is a peachy mauve. This covered in 2 coats, as well. This tone of color isn't my very favorite for my skin tone but otherwise the polish itself was fine.

Scrumptious is a berry creme. This needed 3 coats.

Stay tuned for the other half!

butter LONDON Inky Six and Indigo Punk

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Affiliate Link

A few more butter LONDON polishes that I purchased from TJ Maxx a few weeks back.

Inky Six is a blue micro glitter in a blue jelly base. As a jelly, this was a bit sheer on two coats so I did 3 for complete coverage.

Indigo Punk is a purple glitter in a slightly blackened base. This was also 3 coats. I didn't really care for this one as much as I was hoping but oh well. It was only $4 so I don't feel too bad about not loving this, lol.

butter LONDON Diamond Geezer & Brown Sugar

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have a bunch of butter LONDON polishes to share but so as not to overload one post with 10 polishes, I'm going to break them up into several posts.

First, Diamond Geezer is a silver foil polish. I found this at TJ Maxx for $3.99 and whenever you can find butter LONDON that cheap, you take advantage, lol. I haven't compared this to the other silver metallic/foil polish that I have, Zoya's Trixie but I feel like these are close but not identical.

This was 2 coats.

Brown Sugar is another TJ Maxx find. This is a red and bronze metallic glitter. A little thin, this was 3 coats.

NOTD: butter LONDON Yummy Mummy

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have a NOTD featuring butter LONDON Yummy Mummy, a nude with an ever so subtle shimmer.

This is 3 coats plus topcoat.

I'm not one for nude polish too often but sometimes you need a palette cleanser and this is nice to do just that!

Twinsie Tuesday: Birds

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Press Sample

Today we are being inspired by birds and let me tell you: I cheated THE MOST this week, lol. I did not have time to come up with anything fun for birds at all so I checked my handy dandy spreadsheet for any polishes with "bird" in the title". I found a few and came up with this combination! I will have you know, this is the first time I'm using multiple brands for one manicure in FOREVER. I honestly can't remember the last time I didn't use all one brand!!

butter LONDON Ladybird (PR) is a bright orange red creme that borders on a jelly. I used two coats. Then I added Lac Attack T-Bird (WHERE ARE YOU LAC ATTACK, I MISS YOU!!!!), a gold and black and white glitter topper.

I know, I know. It's the least birdly manicure ever but there is just nothing that can be done about that fact, lol.

butter LONDON Shadow Clutch - Swatches and Review

Hey guys!

Press Sample

butter LONDON recently released two ShadowClutch eyeshadow palettes, complete with interchangeable eyeshadows. I have swatches of one of the palettes and two of the duos to show you today!

The Natural Charm palette comes with 6 primer-infused, oil absorbing, skin-balancing shadows that pack on true color payoff. The colors in this palette are:
Linen - Matte Vanilla
Quartz - Warm Beige Sheen
Camo - Dark Khaki Sheen
Camel - Matte Nude
Citrine - Coral Sheen
Leather - Matte Chocolate Brown

As I mentioned, you can slide the rows of eyeshadows and change out one or more colors, if you choose. There are 4 duos available to change up your ShadowClutch shadows. 

The Moody Blues duo has Sapphire, a blue satin and Sequins, a mint satin eyeshadow.

The Fancy Flutter duo has Feather, a beige satin and Plume, a duochrome that shifts from red to blue. 

ARE YA SEEING THAT DUOCHROME?!

I was really impressed with these eyeshadows, they are soft and creamy and blend easily. Because they are so soft, they are a bit powdery and there is a little bit of fallout. However this is easily brushed away.

I used these eyeshadows for a week and really enjoyed them. I do wish you could purchase an empty palette to store the extra shadows. Maybe someday!

Have you tried any butter LONDON cosmetics? What do you think? Do you like these colors??

Allure & butter LONDON Arm Candy Polishes

Hey guys!

Press Sample

I have 6 of the Limited Edition polishes released in collaboration with Allure from butter LONDON to show you guys! There is also a set that you can purchase that has 4 additional colors in it and those look gorgeous too! Let's get to it!

Nude Stilettos is a sheer nude. This was two coats, no topcoat. This is more sheer and nude than I usually care for but I'm envisioning some delightful jelly sandwiches with this polish in the future!

I'm On The List is a pearly rose gold color. This had a really great formula and was even in two coats. Dare I say, you might have been able to do one coat, as it has a thicker formula but I went ahead and used two.

Statement Piece is a bright orangey red creme. This was also 2 coats!

It's Vintage is a reddish brown color. Quite different and I really liked it! This was also 2 coats.

Lust or Must is described as a "charcoal brown" creme. This is a very different color to anything in my collection. I like it! 2 coats.

 Disco Nap is a black polish with silver glitter. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat.

I did a little bit of nail art with the two most unique colors in the collection, It's Vintage and Lust or Must? I thought the color combination was really fun. Excuse the cleanup, I always do my nails at night and this night I decided to start doing a gradient manicure at 1130pm.... Not my best idea, lol. But I really liked how this gradient turned out!

You can purchase these polishes from butterlondon.com.  They are limited edition so I'm not sure how long they will be available for purchase!

butter London Shine Out Loud Review + Giveaway!

Hey guys!

Press Sample

I was recently offered the chance to try some of butter London's newer cosmetic products and I was stoked to discover that they kindly sent doubles of everything so you know what that means.... yeeahhhhh, a giveaway! Stay tuned to the end ;-)

The Wink Eye Pencil in Union Jack Black is a black kohl eyeliner. It is VERY creamy and glides on like a puff of air. That makes no sense but it really does glide on like a dream. I did have a bit of transfer even though I wore an eye shadow primer.

Bloody Brilliant Lip Crayon in Ladybird is "an all in one formula of highly pigmented colour and intense shine". I LOVE that there is a built in sharpener in the cap! So bloody convenient. Bahaha, get it? I am hilarious. And GUYS! THIS SMELLS LIKE CHOCOLATE MINT. I am dead serious. It's divine.

Iconolast Mega Volume Lacquer Mascara claims a "300% increase in volume with one coat, boosting lashes with the double feature, molded mascara brush". I am always confused by these ball ends on the brush. BUT I did like this mascara, it applied nicely, the formula wasn't too dry or too wet. I applied one coat.

Here's mah whole face: I'm warning you, I'm only wearing the products I am reviewing!

Ladybird is a tomato red polish with a crelly like formula. I used 2 coats and it covered nicely and have an easy formula.

Hey guys! Happy Pink Wednesday!

butter LONDON Disco Biscuit has been on my list for a long time and I finally picked it up a few months ago during a BL promo.

I used 3 thin coats of Disco Biscuit. It's what I would call a jelly. I love the blue shimmer in this!

I added one coat of A England And The Moonbeams because why not?
