This year for Valentine’s Day, we are going to challenge you to think outside the box with gifts! Instead of gifting flowers and chocolates this year (which are still great!), check out our Valentine’s Day gift guide for some creative ideas on what to give to your bestie or loved one this year.   Time to Indulge For someone who enjoys the little things in life, we suggest gifting them our Champagne Fizz Intensive Nail & Skin Treatment Candle! With our signature Champagne scent with notes of lemon, mint, rose, and violet, this luxurious candle promotes a sense of well-being as it burns into an indulgent oil. Once the candle has burned, you can drizzle the oil on yourself or a loved one and instantly moisturize the skin for a perfect Valentine’s decadent moment. Champagne Fizz is formulated with Soybean Oil and Coconut Oil that perfectly melts into a skin-softening massage treatment for hands, feet, back, shoulders, and more!   Self-Care from Head to Toe Give the gift of an at-home spa experience with our All Hands on Deck 3-Piece Hand and Nail Care Kit! This luxe kit includes our 2-in-1 No Rinse Cleansing Hand and Nail Crème to cleanse and moisturize hands and nails, So Buff Hand and Foot Polish to help buff away any rough calluses, and Extra Whip Hand and Foot Treatment to hydrate restore balance to dry skin. Each of these products work perfectly together to help cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate skin. **Pro Tip: Try pairing this kit with our Quick Slip Cuticle Oil for extra cuticle hydration. Quick Slip softens dry cuticle and provides lasting hydration, while Extra Whip is best for dry patches or rougher areas on the skin such as knees, elbows, and feet.

You can never go wrong with a classic nude hue which looks good for any occasion! We love wearing a simple nude colour on the nails for the holidays as it is a colour that stays on trend year-round and can be used as a great base for any nail art. This simple manicure adds a pop of color with Steady On! as the base and was featured as a #ManiMonday over on our Instagram.   Afters Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer For a deep, mysterious colour, we have been loving a dark burgundy. You can’t go wrong with a moody manicure when the weather cools down, and Afters is the perfect colour to achieve a classic maroon mani.

The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping and now is the time to hit reset on your expansive beauty collection. Every makeup guru knows that nothing multiplies quite like the content of a beauty cabinet, which is why we MUST take this yearly opportunity to refresh. So grab a trash bag, pick up those Lysol wipes and get ready to re-evaluate your makeup, skincare and nail polish collection in 4 easy steps: 1.Check Those Expiration Dates Did you know that most makeup and skincare products have a secret symbol that tells you exactly how long they last? That’s right, it’s not just food that spoils. To figure out which of your beauty products are still safe to use, look for the ‘open cream jar symbol’ on the package. This symbol with a have a tiny number written inside (example: 6M, 12M, 24M), which tells you the number of months the product is good for once opened. Problem solved. Don’t see a number? No problem. Follow this butter LONDON expiration guide: Skin Tint & Concealer: 12-18 Months Blush: 12 Months Eyeshadow: 6-12 Months Mascara: 3 Months Lipstick: 1-2 Years 2. Clean Your Brushes… And Cabinet Whether it’s a beauty sponge, a foundation brush or an eyeshadow brush you only use once a month (thanks quarantine), you need to clean it! Makeup brushes should be cleaned once every two weeks, so if you have been slacking, now it the perfect opportunity to give your beauty tools a good scrub. All you need is warm water and a good soap. And while we’re at it, it’s also a good idea to give your cabinet and products a good wipe down, as well. After all, there’s nothing like smeared eyeshadow and leaky foundation to ruin a perfectly clean aesthetic. 3. Invest in a Chic Organizer Now that you’ve thrown out the old and cleaned up the new, it is time to organize. Drawers and cabinets are a great place to store makeup products if you prefer a clear countertop— but don’t be afraid to take it a step further! Save yourself the digging and organize the butter LONDON way with a chic makeup and skincare organizer. These convenient storage containers feature cute compartments to help separate your beauty and nail products, so you don’t have to go digging. They also come in a variety of shapes and sizes, though we personally love to make a statement with the retro and fun butter LONDON X Caboodles organizer.  4. Go Shopping Finally, the fun part. If you find yourself missing a few staple makeup products after your spring clean, feel free to refresh your beauty collection with the hottest trends for the season. Naturally, pastel nail lacquers are having their moment, while neon nail polish colors are also making a big splash. And if you are after that dewy, warm weather glow, don’t forget to check out butter LONDON makeup such as our skin tint, blush and mascara. Happy Spring!
