butter LONDON Cosmetics & Nail Lacquer – Beauty Review

butter LONDON is expanding beyond nail lacquer into cosmetics that encourages creativity, while remaining devoted to colour without compromise.

FullSizeRender (73)

I was super excited to receive a package from the company.  The items in my box included:

Lippy Bloody Brilliant Lip Crayon

Union Jack Black Eye Pencil

ICONOLAST Mega Volume Lacquer Mascara

Nail LACQUER LadyBird

IMG_3983

The Review –

I started with my weekly manicure and decided to wear the LadyBird Nail Lacquer.  The color was true to shade (of what’s shown in the bottle) and had a high gloss.  It also paints nicely and lasted for a few days.  I was pleased with the results of my manicure.

IMG_3797

The butter London Lip Crayon was amazing; an unexpected surprise.  The crayon was extremely soft, gorgeous color, and the top is actually a pencil sharpener.  I like to apply makeup daily so this makes my process faster; simply open the top and sharpen your lip crayon.

IMG_3984

How often do we purchase an eye pencil and the color’s difficult to apply.  In my case, I like to wear black eyeliner to open my eyes because that’s the shade of my lashes.  The Wink Eye Pencil (again) was easy to use and provided a beautiful line.  Here’s a tip, when using a good eye pencil there’s no need to heat the top of the pencil!

The last goodie in my package was the Mega Volume Mascara.  This mascara has a unique wand with a small ball at the end for your bottom lashes.  Aside from the fact my lashes received a “mega” boost, my bottom lashes gained volume as well.

IMG_3985

I am a huge fan of the butter London Cosmetics and Nail Lacquer Collection.  I hope to share more of their products with you in the future.  Visit the website to purchase items for your summer look!
