butter LONDON Must-Haves for Lips and Eyes | Review and Swatches #butterLONDON

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I adore butter LONDON, and am continually impressed their products– everything is quite affordable given the level of quality, and the extraordinary textures of their products make them a great pleasure to use. Here are my most recent obsession-worthy finds from butter LONDON, and they are absolutely stunning.

butter LONDON Buzzed Plush Rush Lipstick: This is a very creamy lipstick that glides across the lips effortlessly, deposits color evenly, and it neither migrates, nor does it pool into lip lines. It has the perfect amount of cushion for comfortable wear, and it has a wonderfully hydrating formula that leaves lips soft, and supple. Furthermore, this lipstick has a light plumping effect that adds volume to the lips without any discomfort or tingling– but it does feel refreshing despite the absence of a menthol tingle. Buzzed is a stunning warm cocoa creme that is very flattering on the lips.

According to butter LONDON,

Pure lip decadence delivery firmer, fuller lips. Captivating colour in the most cushiony, velvety texture.  Feels like a pillow top on your lips!

butter LONDON Flash Mob Plush Rush Lip Gloss: I love high shine lip glosses that are non-sticky and long-wearing, and this one definitely offers both of these attributes along with the perfect amount of cushion for comfortable wear. Furthermore, this gloss is moisturizing and it plumps lips without discomfort. Instead, it has a refreshing minty fresh flavor that isn't overdone.

butter LONDON Palm Paradise Shadowclutch Wardrobe Duo: These eye shadows are infused with primer so that they wear longer and absorb oils that tend to crease shadows. In addition to being long-wearing and vibrant, these shadows are ultra-finely milled and creamy smooth in their refined textures. They glide across the skin effortlessly, deposit color evenly, and they blend perfectly. Furthermore, they are intensely pigmented, and can be sheered out, or built up for maximum opacity. Described as "an acid gold sheen and dark green shimmer" eye shadow duo, I would characterize them as a rich, antique gold sheen and a rich and blackened forest green shimmer. Both are stunningly beautiful, and such a pleasure to work with.

According to butter LONDON,

Features and Benefits:
  • Primer-infused (no primer needed!), oil-absorbing shadows are long-lasting and crease-free.
  • Formulated with super fine milled powders for a buttery soft texture.

TOM FORD Beauty Cream and Powder Eye Color Duos in Naked Bronze and Golden Peach from the Soleil Collection 2016

Purchased by Me (Affiliate Links)

If you missed out on purchasing TOM FORD Beauty Cream and Powder Eye Color Duos in Naked Bronze and Golden Peach from the Soleil Collection 2015, then you have another chance to get both since they were repromoted for the Soleil Collection 2016. They are gorgeous must-haves if you seek easy-to-wear shades for the spring and summer. I am so glad that I picked them both up, and urge you to grab them, if you have been wanting these twinkling gems, while there are still some left.

According to Tom Ford Beauty,

Tom Ford Cream & Powder Eye Color pairs two coveted formulas in one to create a lustrous and sexy summertime eye. The ultra-pigmented, metallic cream shadow glides onto lids with a rich, molten glow and the sparkling celestial powder intensifies the look with alluring shimmer.

TOM FORD's unique double-decker component will feature two beloved TOM FORD eye formulas: The bottom portion of the jar will house the luminous TOM FORD Cream Color for Eye and the top portion of the cap will house the celestial-like Powder Eye Shadow. 

The shades can be worn alone or layered, delivering multiple finishes and looks. The cream shadow illuminates eyes with a lustrous, sexy glow. Top off the cream shadow with the sparkling, celestial powder shadow for a shimmering and alluring look. Formula is long-wearing, non-creasing, and stay color true.

Tom Ford Beauty Cream and Powder Eye Color in Naked Bronze (Limited Edition): This glimmering duo features a stunning, warm bronze shimmer cream shadow (repromoted Spice) on the bottom of the two-tiered compact and a stunning warm golden celestial powder on the top. This gorgeous combination of colors creates the perfect warm sun-kissed summer bronzy glow. While the celestial shade offers stunning shimmer, it is not too glittery, and therefore is even office appropriate. Unless you have oily eyelids, you won't likely feel the need to use a primer underneath the cream shadow. I find this formula to be budge-proof and it lasts on me all day without fading, creasing or smudging.
TOM FORD Beauty Cream and Powder Eye Color in Golden Peach (Limited Edition): The cream shadow (repromoted Pink Haze) in this dynamic duo is often described as a warm, mid-tone peach, or as a peachy-brown shade, but I would actually describe it as a peachy-brown infused with rose-gold, and the celestial shade is a warm glittering golden peach. Whether the cream shade is worn alone, or layered with the celestial shade, they are both stunningly beautiful and infinitely wearable.  Once again, unless you have oily eyelids, you won't likely feel the need to use a primer underneath the cream shadow, and like Naked Bronze, I find this formula to be budge-proof and it lasts on me all day without fading, creasing or smudging.
These stunning duos are infinitely wearable and utterly gorgeous. The extent to which these colors morph in the sun can be demonstrated by my swatches below.
