butter London Lippy Swatches



butter LONDON has entered the lip gloss world introduction of Lippy – a line of lip glosses in five shades that correspond with lacquer colors already in the butter LONDON collection. One of the big trends the brand saw backstage at the S/S 12 shows was a “matchy/matchy” look, not just with fingers and toes but also lips. What was once an elegant, classic look of the past that may have seemed outdated in recent years has made a comeback in a fresh way. The colors are bolder and the look is more deliberate, sometimes clashing with the pops of neon designers showed in their accessories this season.




On to the review!  I'm on the fence about these glosses, on one hand I love a 3 of the 5 colors, Trout Pout, Primrose Hill Picnic, and Snog but the consistency of the gloss is like super thick and sticky.  Meaning, it lasts super long which is a plus but it's also like contact paper catching your hair and anything else that comes too close to your lips.  The pigmentation of these glosses is excellent.  The colors really pop, but Teddy Girl is super hard to wear.  It's a white based pale pink.  


What's your favorite shade?

Titled Ever Eden, Michelle’s initial capsule collection is inspired by her worldwide travels, spirituality and inspiring figures like Saint Joan of Arc.  The result?  Chunky, statement pieces that I'm sure you guys will really like.  




My favorites are the Ever Eden infinity cuff ($85) and the Rosace earrings that actually remind me more of a Flamingo Dancer's fan than anything else.

Herbacin Covers all Your Foot Care Needs



Herbacin has an entire range of foot care products to help you maintain your pedicure.  I think the feet are probably one of the most neglected parts of the body, unless of course it's summer time.  Start treating your feet to the care they deserve!  


My favorite Herbacin Foot Care products are the Foot Peeling Lotion and the Leg Lotion.  The Foot Peeling Lotion is a basically a scrub, it smells fresh and it cleanses and scrubs away dead skin off your feet.  After I give them a good scrub down, I apply the Leg Lotion from my foot up my entire leg.  The lotion has Avocado and Almond oils, plus vasoactive active ingredients from red vine leaves and horse chestnuts improve leg circulation which as a nurse I can appreciate all the improved leg circulation I can get.  


You can shop Herbacin.com to find all the products.

Skin Care Advice


Sometimes we just need a reminder to follow those Skin Care Tips that we HATE hearing.  You know the ones like drink enough water, but it's so true.  Water is essential to every single body function we have, without enough water whacky things can start to happen and it really takes a toll on our skin.  So just drink water, ladies!  Add lemon wedges, whatever you need to make yourself like it.  

Stop picking at your skin!  This is the biggest one for me, personally.  I find things wrong with my skin and pick at them until the area is a bleeding mess, I know I KNOW!  I have to keep my hands to myself and off my face.  

Wear your sunscreen every single day, even when it's snowing, raining, or cloudy.  It should be at least SPF 15, but I try to opt for SPF 20 - 30.  Don't forget your chest if it's exposed and shoulders!  

I don't care how tired you are you need to wash your makeup and the gunk of the day off your face before bed.  It's essential for clear nice skin, leaving makeup on your skin will make your skin breakout or leave it very dull looking.    

And don't forget to moisturize properly.  Don't overload your skin, simple is better.  A serum, moisturizer, eye cream is perfect, if you need to target a problem feel free to do that too but stick to what's working.
