Build Me Up Buttercup by Deborah Lippmann ($18.00)
A pretty little pastel yellow that’s not too overwhelming or intense is such a perfect shade for Spring. And I don’t even care that it’s snowing right now.
Build Me Up Buttercup is such a creamy, pale yellow that goes so well with my fair skintone since it isn’t’ TOO yellow (if you know what I mean). I’ve been looking for a pastel yellow like this one for a while now (ever since I saw Shay Mitchell sport it on a cover of some magazine) and I thought I found it back in July when I came across Unicorn by Sinful Colors. I think I might have been wrong because Build Me Up Buttercup is THE most gorgeous pastel shade I’ve ever used.
I found the formula to be very rich and creamy, maybe a little runny- ever so slightly- with a smooth, glossy, creme finish. Two coats worked beautifully for me, but I could have also pulled off one coat as well -easily- because of how rich the formula is. The formula is also infused with biotin, green tea extract, and aucoumea, formulated without parabens and sulfates, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, DBP (dibutyl phthlate), or camphor.
What do you guys think of this color?
Edit: One of my lovely readers just let me know that you can find this polish right here on sale for $6.99!!

March 20, 2015 at 9:09 amI find the lighter a polish is, the more coats it needs to be opaque. This must be a really great formula if you only needed 2 coats! I like the colour, especially for spring.

March 21, 2015 at 10:14 pmThe perfect yellow! This is so super fresh and gorgeous for Spring. In total agreement that it’s not too yellow, it strikes the perfect pastel. And Build Me Up Buttercup is THE most gorgeous name as well! Just absolutely beautiful! <3

April 2, 2015 at 10:28 pmMmm! I can’t usually find yellows I love too much, but this is gorgeous. Any clue on drugstore dupes on this? You mention Unicorn, but they seem a bit different?

April 3, 2015 at 10:37 amI haven’t really come across anything that’s similar to this color, maybe Revlon’s “Sunshine Sparkle”?
