Butter London Jack The Lad: My Christmas green this year.
Butter London isn't actually a UK-based brand, despite the brand name and the colloquial British names.

It's not the first time I've seen brands trying to masquerade as coming from another country - if you recall, my post on Elianto cosmetics noted that the Korean stylings of the brand really belied a Malaysian origin.
