GRATiaE Cosmetics Review PLUS Giveaway!!

Tonight I'm bringing you a review of some amazing products I got a chance to try courtesy of GRATiAE Cosmetics, which, I believe is owned by Primer Dead Sea, who I reviewed some things from in the past and LOVE. Via Tomoson, I was sent their Renewing Moisutizer Cream, Passion Fruit and Lime Body Butter, and Salt Scrub. I'm really excited I got the chance to test them out because they are absolutely AMAZING!!

First, I want to review their Renewing Moisturizing Cream! This is seriously probably the best moisturizer I've ever, EVER used. It goes on incredibly smooth and leaves your face feeling literally like silk. Here's a picture for your reference.
This product comes in a pretty large container, and is packaged really nicely. The package I received from the company contained all KINDS of information about the products too, which is definitely a nice touch. It even had a bag with it and everything. Just like I had purchased it from the store. I give them and A++++ on their packaging. Top notch for sure. 
Back to this amazing moisturizer though. It kind of has the same scent as the body butter and salt scrub that I received, but much much lighter. If you're sensitive to products with scents in them, then this may not be the best moisturizer for you. I, however, am not and LOVE LOVE LOVE this. I use it morning and night along with an eye cream vitamin C serum, and my face has never felt more smooth. I would DEFINITELY repurchase this item.

Next, I want to talk about their body butter. First of all this Passion Fruit and Lime scent is amazing. It's fresh, but not too fruity and fake smelling, which I really really like. It's a great compliment to the salt scrub, and I usually use it right after the shower after I've exfoliated with the scrub. Here's a photo of the duo!
On the left is the salt scrub and on the right is the body butter. They come in the cutest little gold round containers, and the salt scrub even comes with a little spoon so you can scoop it out without getting it all wet and ruining it. These also were packed amazingly well, and I'm all for a company that provides not only a great product, but great packaging. 
The body butter leaves you skin smelling AMAZING, and feeling super smooth and not dry at all, even though I've just exfoliated with the scrub.
The Salt Scrub is just as amazing as the other two products. It seriously removes like every bit of dry skin on my body, and left it feeling more exfoliated than any other product I've ever tried. It has the same Passion Fruit and Lime scent as the Body Butter, which again, isn't too heavy or artificial. I LOVE this Body Scrub!! 

You can purchase the moisturizer HERE on their website for $129.99.
The Salt Scrub and Body Butter DUO HERE for $54.99.

These are a little on the expensive side, but definitely WELL, WELL worth the price tag, as they are basically the most amazing things I've ever used. I'd definitely be interested in trying more of their products, and they have TONS! :)

NOW on to the GIVEAWAY!! 
**NOTE This is only open to the U.S. at this time, and will only be open for ONE DAY, as I'm pretty late getting this review done and need to get the results back to the company ASAP!**

Good luck!

Pretty & Polished Dual Review!

I am so excited to announce that I recently received my very first real Indie nailpolish!!! I have been wanting Pretty & Polished's "Jawbreaker" for like a year now, and I used a $5 gift card code from Wrapp and ordered it off Etsy!!! It is everything I wanted it to be! It looks just like I have a classic Jawbreaker on each nail and is packed FULL of Blue, Yellow, Red, and tiny purple glitters in varying shapes and sizes. It went on effortlessly and was totally opaque after three coats. I love it so much and highly recommend this brand to anyone looking to try an indie polish that never has before! Here's some swatches! :)


Isn't it awesome!!! :)

As an added bonus to my order I also received a HUGE sample of Pretty & Polished's Sugar scrub. I received this in the scent Sugar Yum Plum and it smells good enough that I could literally eat the jar. lol I wouldn't though. It is the most amazing, magical product I have ever used in my life. I swear I will never use another scrub. They sell this in 4oz and 8oz sizes for $5 and $9 respectively. This is such an awesome price too because my little sample jar is probably like 2oz and will last me at least 20 hand and foot scrub sessions. I used it on both my hands and my feet as well as my husbands hands and they now literally feel like baby skin. You can purchase this HERE in the scents cupcake, lavendarling, strawberry shortcake, sweet mint, pink sugar, sugar yum plum, apple, vanilla oatmeal, lemon, peppermint bark, mocha doodle, cranberry, and guess what? Chocolate covered BACON! lol Here's a pic of the sample I recevied:
It's still pretty much full after 4 uses. AWESOME! Get some!!:D

I plan on getting more scrub and the color Popples as well as some color changing polishes in the next few weeks that I will review! :D
Happy Sunday!
