Saucy Jack
More Butter London! This time it’s Saucy Jack, but before I talk more about the polish specifically, I have to gush a bit about where I bought it, because it was such a stellar example of excellent customer service!
Right, so, after eBaying myself a bottle of The Black Knight, I decided to go for a beauty shop for my next Butter London polishes. After a quick google search, I landed at E-beautyshop.com, a Swedish online beauty store (there is an option for viewing it in English, though, and they ship to Europe). I looked around a bit before deciding on four polishes (Trout Pout and Slapper, which you’ve seen, Saucy Jack and Queen Vic) and went on my merry way after finishing the order. There was a notice on the front page about the store owner being on vacation and that no orders would ship until the week after, but this didn’t bother me.
Fast forward to about a week later, and there’s an e-mail in my inbox telling me that my items have shipped. Standard procedure and all that. But! Susanne, the owner of the store, also said that since I’d bought four different Butter London polishes, she was throwing in a bottle of bL Handbag Holiday Cuticle Oil AND, as an apology for the wait on shipping, a promo code for 20% off my next order.
This, ladies and gents, is what makes me a returning customer! (Okay, so I haven’t actually returned yet, but I am currently eyeing up a few more bL polishes I wouldn’t mind adding to my collection, and when the day to order comes, it’ll be from this shop!)
Now for a few words on Saucy Jack! I have been extremely fascinated by Jack the Ripper from a very early age (though the first time I remember hearing about him, I was scared to death for the rest of that day and could not fall asleep, because I was convinced he would come to slit my throat in the night! I was full of anxieties about anything as a little one…), so when I saw that one of the reds I was choosing between had taken its name after the old, still unidentified, serial killer, it was a clear winner. And I have to say I don’t regret it in the slightest!
It’s a lovely dark brick red sort of colour that needs three coats for full cover. Since it’s a jelly, I’m pretty sure it would look lovely in a glitter sandwich as well, but for now I’ve just worn it on its own. It’s the third Butter London I’ve tried (fourth if you count Slapper, which I’d only worn with Trout Pout at the time I tried Saucy Jack) and the first one I fell completely and utterly in love with. I didn’t quite “get” the Butter London hype before, but I am definitely sold now!
(Oh, and that purse? Is my new purse and I love it! It’s obviously from River Island, but I bought it from ASOS.com.)
