get lippy with me

By now I would assume you are all well aware of my love for butter LONDON's fabulous collection of polishes. What you may not know is that they recently kicked off a lip gloss line that is just as lovely as their lacquers. Lucky for my I have three of the five beautiful shades from their collection as well as the matching varnishes. One major trend in the fashion world for S/S 2012 is a "matchy-matchy"look between manicures, pedicures, and lips. Modernized with fresh new colors, this trend captures the elegance and classic look of the past but with a punch. butter LONDON has taken this trend to the next level by introducing LIPPY in five fab shades: Primrose Hill Picnic, Teddy Girl, Trout Pout, Snog, and Yummy Mummy. The lipglosses have matching shades already within the brand's line of varnishes and sell for $17 a tube.

The gloss is pretty heavy, so you definitely know you are wearing it unlike some more sheer lip glosses. This is a good thing though because I found it to stay on better than most. The rich and densely pigmented hues give lips a luxe look and actually don't taste too bad. Can I get a hip hip hooray?

Preferring the bold to the more subtle looks, I have tested out three of the shades: Trout Pout, Primrose Hill Picnic, and Snog. This time around you won't get any pics of my nails, just my lips--which is alright by me because in my most humble opinion they are one of my better features. Being that I prefer to avoid the camera at all costs and let's be honest I can barely make due as a hand model let alone a "model model," my lovely little sis stepped in--in front of the camera that is. The fact that she got three manicures out of the deal was a bit of a bonus for her, but she has never had a problem making faces at the camera so we had quite a bit of fun.  So, my friends, I present you with LIPPY...eat your hearts out. 

Trout Pout: Slang for a woman who has (to be kind) "over done" the collagen in her lips thus leaving her with a fishy face (whenever i read the name i can't help but think of Sam aka trouty mouth from glee and Santana's lovely song by the same name), this lip color is ideal if you want to sport a sassy pout. The opaque cantaloupe color is a bit retro and turns out almost a frosty pink on the lips.

Primrose Hill Picnic: As hinted at by the name of this fabulous shade, this punchy pink is perfect for frolicking, florals, summertime and picnics in the park. The bright, happy hue has a very youthful appearance. Primrose Hill Picnic happens to be my go to color for a pedi so paint your toes, strap on your best sandals, throw on a floral frock and get lippy with this gorgeous gloss.






Snog: As you may already know from previous posts, Snog is one of my absolute favorite butter LONDON polishes...not to mention my absolute favorite word and my favorite frozen yogurt place. So, if you want a lipgloss that will make a statement and has serious snogability look no further. This hot pink is packed with color and would probably leave quite a mess if you were to snog in snog.





Want to get that "matchy-matchy" look? Look no further!

Seriously, I would kill for that girl's eyelashes... 

Anyway, it seems to me that butter LONDON has made an exciting entrance into the lipgloss world with their new LIPPY line. I would definitely recommend LIPPY and their lacquers in all their brilliant colors.

Cheers!
