Butter London

I was recently invited to take a sneak peek inside coterie.com, a new, highly curated beauty site. Coterie takes the guess work out of finding what’s hot, new or fabulous in the beauty world. Members have the chance to purchase limited time, exclusive offers from some of the best prestige brands on the market. The deals offered on this site will not be featured anywhere else.

For me this is an exciting new site unlike anything else out there. With Coterie you don’t need to sift through countless products but rather be offered special deals that are hand-picked by beauty experts.

Members also have the option to create a vanity where they can share the products that they love most. Once the item is stored in their vanity, it can be re-ordered with complimentary shipping! Members are also rewarded for their love of beauty, they can earn rewards for pinning, tweeting and sharing their favorite products.

Pictured above is a sample box that I received at the preview showcasing some of the fabulous brand that will be featured on the site, like Colbert MD, Kevin Aucoin, Coco de Soleil and butter London. Will you be checking out Coterie.com?

Some days just call for a sparkly nail polish and today was one of them. My day seemed like a whirlwind of activity but not much seemed to get done and barely an item was checked off of my to-do list. So obviously I needed some cheer-me-up nail polish to change my mood.

I looked through my vanity and there she was No More Waity, Katie from butter LONDON! I’ve had my eye on this color since it was released in honor of the royal wedding and I’ve held it in my beauty arsenal for a few months. You know, in case of emergency. Well today was that “emergency”. I desperately needed a little pick me up.

The color is described as “...a soft, elegant greige shade with a splash of lilac glitter for the perfect marriage to combine fashion and fun.”

No More Waity, Katie is really a beautiful glitter polish; the lilac glitter is muted and not at all overpowering. From afar the color doesn’t even appear to be a glitter polish because the miniscule flecks of glitter. The polish applies fairly sheer so it took three coats to achieve some opacity. I’ve read on other blogs that it takes about four coats to achieve 100% opacity but that’s a bit much for me. The polish consistency was a bit thicker than I expected so I stuck with three three.

The color is so beautiful so I’d love to give it another try but I’ll let a professional nail tech handle that!
