gud Vanilla Flame Body Lotion

Photo from Gudhappens.com
     I received a sample of the gud vanilla flame natural body lotion  from the Gud Facebook page. This is what the gud websites says "Let the exotic scent of vanilla and rice milk leave your skin smelling so wonderful, it inspires love letters. And poems. And sonnets. And the occasional misspelled text message • Leaves skin super soft to the touch.• Unique, exotic fragrance.• No parabens, phthalates or petrochemicals.• Never ever tested on animals. No way!"  
     This lotion does a nice job of softening the dry parts of the body. It smells nice-a mix of vanilla and slight hints of coconut. It feels very luxurious as you rub it in to the skin, it absorbs fast and it is not oily. For the first few minutes it feels slightly sticky but once it is fully absorbed it just feels as if your hands are being moisturized. I used this on my hands, elbows, and heels which are the three driest parts of my body. The lotion did a very good job at moisturizing and left my hands and feet feeling better than usual. 
  At $7 for 8 oz/235 ml I will purchase the full size when I see it in stores. I am looking forward to trying their body washes, butters, and mists. 
     Will you be trying the Gud natural body lotion any time soon? 
      Have a great day! :)

Wet N Wild Black Creme

Picture borrowed from Wacky Laki
 I just had to rave about this nail polish because Wet N Wild Black Creme is a staple black nail polish. I love this nail polish because it is opaque in one coat and it is terrific for layering and stamping! It is a very inexpensive nail polish and I buy mine at Rite Aid but you can probably find it anywhere Wet N Wild is sold.

Nail Haul!

  First off let me say that I am sorry for not writing a blog post in a long time, I have been swamped with school work. Anyway, I went to Sally's Beauty Supply today to look at nail polish  and I found a few great deals! First off I picked up the Belle of the Ball set and  two other China Glaze colors in Trendsetter and Princess Grace. I also picked up some nail art jars for when i depot things.
Belle of the Ball Set






  This set comes with two colors, Tinsel Town and Champagne Bubbles and a free tree ornament. I have been wanting these two colors ever since I saw the first swatches online. The set wasn't the first thing I noticed when I walked in, but as soon as I  noticed that it was with the clearance things I grabbed it up immediately! It was only $5.99 on clearance with an original price of $7.99, so not that much of a discount but I wanted the colors anyway. 
  




  










  The two colors on the right are the ones in this set. Tinsel Town is a gorgeous dark and light silver glitter, two coats is perfect and has a beautiful shine when paired with a clear topcoat. It has a lot of glitter in a dark silver liquid so it may not work as a glitter-coat over other nail polishes. Champagne Bubbles is a golden yellow with small silver glitters. It takes two coats to get it opaque. It is probably my favorite nail polish that I   bought. 
Princess Grace and Trendsetter



































 I also saw Trendsetter in a clearance bin, it was part of the spring metro collection and on sale it was only $1.99. It is a golden yellow with hints of green, it is not the prettiest color out there but it is quite appealing. With one coat it is a nice golden color but with two does get greener and also more opaque. My mom is the one who picked up Princess Grace. It is a pretty pearly light white pink color. It reaches full opaqueness with three coats but is still nice at two coats.
