Hi there, lovely readers! Happy Mid-Autumn! We celebrated with friends last weekend by eating mooncakes, the ubiquitous food of the holiday. I've never been a huge fan of the original flavors like lotus and red bean, but one of our friends found more interesting flavors for us to try, like jasmine tea, and they were delicious. Being the tea-lover that I am, I love anything tea-flavored. :-)
Today, I have another gorgeous lacquer from the Butter London Rock Your Colour Collection to share with you. Brown Sugar has a reddish brown base filled with oodles of golden shimmers and gold and pink glitters.
Gosh, isn't this one just sensational?! It's my favorite from the collection. It's so sparkly and full of warmth, really just a perfect color for fall. The formula's equally awesome. It's easy to apply, coming out effortlessly though a little on the thin side. I ended up doing three coats for total coverage, but you may be able to stop at two coats depending on your application. Even though this is a glitter, it dries glossy and smooth to the touch, which is a total bonus. :-)
You can find Brown Sugar on butterlondon.com and at select retailers such as Nordstrom and Ulta for $15 for 0.4 fl oz.

I almost bought this the other day and was good instead. Now I am kind of wishing I had gotten it.
ReplyDeleteI love moon cakes! I think my mom is going to send me some. My favorite are the lotus with the salty egg in the middle. I'll have to try to find jasmine. I really don't like the ones with nuts and meat in them. :)
Hehe, you have more self control than I do. :)
DeleteMy friend got the jasmine mooncakes from a local tea shop. I thought it was cool that they incorporated different teas into the mooncakes. :) I like the nutty ones, though I've never tried the meat ones... they sound really interesting! :D
What a gorgeous colour! I love the combination of reds and bronze--it puts me in mind of warm cinnamon sugar. And happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Yun! I just finished stuffing my face with sugar overload in the form of a triple chocolate moon cake from Mrs. Field's. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like this... I think it's gorgeous too! :) And Mrs. Field's makes mooncakes where you are?! Ah, you are a lucky girl! :D
DeleteMy heart is taken by fall nail polish like this. Oh I need this one so badly!!! Your swatches are just amazing <3

DeleteThis one is definitely my favorite of the collection so far! Very pretty and unique! I'm glad to hear that it dries smoothly, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha, I'm glad you're really liking this one! :D
DeleteSo warm and sparkly. Like cosy fire. I like that pinkish undertone too.
ReplyDeleteI like the pink undertones in the brown too. It softens and warms it up. :)
DeleteOh my! This is so beautiful. And I am usually NOT a fan of brown. This one I think I want to add to my collection! Beautiful
ReplyDeleteI'm not usually a fan of brown too, especially if they are more muddy looking lol. But this is in a totally different category! :D
DeleteIt's a gorgeous shade! Brown Sugar is the perfect name for it, too! I haven't tried mooncakes in different flavors, they sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like this! Mooncakes are delicious, but very sweet and full of calories lol... I can only have a little at a time. :D
Deletethat is stunning...
ReplyDeleteYes, it really is! :D
DeleteThis is so gorgeous! I love Butter London's formulas too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy, I'm glad you like it! :D
DeleteIt is really, really pretty, great for autumn too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really loving this for autumn too! :)
DeleteA charmer :D perfect for fall (:
ReplyDeleteOkay THIS is an interesting color, it's beautiful and somehow new!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I thought it's quite unique too. I guess there just isn't that many beautiful brown polishes out there yet. :)
DeleteSuch a gorgeous polish!
ReplyDeleteI thought this was a plain glitter bomb at first. The base is VERY pleasant surprise!
ReplyDeleteI thought it would be more glittery too (like Bit Faker), but it turns out the base is much more of a central focus. :)
DeleteWow this one is gorgeous! Its so decadently indulgent looking, rich and classy! I can see why it was your fave shade :) Enjoy your weekend! x
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm so glad you to hear that you like this! Happy weekend to you too! :)
DeleteThis is gorgeous on you! It's such a perfect shade for fall.
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa, I thought this is just perfect for fall too. :)
Deletereally beautiful! xx
