I’m always on the look out for the Holy Grail shampoo for my thick hair. I had the chance to review Nutra Lift Simply Superb Shampoo with Goat Milk and was very excited for the chance.
Nutra Lift Simply Superb is a premium gentle, daily shampoo infused with luxurious Pure Silk for shiny & vibrant hair. A Non-Soap, Non-Detergent shampoo that moisturizes & conditions with Goat’s Milk. Including a Natural & Organic, delicious blend of aromatic, anti-oxidant rich herbs for a healthy scalp. Especially formulated for people with sensitive skin. Pure & Natural for beautiful hair. Great for normal hair. Excellent for dry damaged hair.
When I first started using Nutra Lift Simply Superb, I was pretty happy with it! My hair felt silky, it smelled like sweet roses and it conditioned nicely. Unfortunately I fell out of love with it about 2 weeks later.
About a week into using it, my head started feeling itchy, so I went back to my old shampoo and it cleared up. Tried Nutra Lift again, and same thing… itch and flaky and it felt like I had build up on my scalp. Now I know what you might be thinking… maybe you weren’t rinsing it all out? Nope, that wasn’t it. I made sure I was rinsing it out completely but over the course of a few days, I had a weird buildup on my scalp I’ve never experienced with a shampoo before.
Sadly that was the last I used Nutra Lift Simply Superb Shampoo. It just wasn’t for me, and I was really bummed because I LOVED the scent and the feel on the first couple of days of use! It was perfect… but I wear a lot of black tops and white flakes aren’t something I want showing. I don’t know if it was body chemistry that didn’t agree or what, because I’ve read fabulous reviews on this shampoo. It just simply isn’t for me.
Price: $19.00
Where To Buy: Nutra Lift Website
Do you have any experience with Nutra Lift?

Happy Wednesday! Tonight I have a set of polishes from F.U.N. Lacquer to show you. This is The Luxury Set Foil Effect and it’s two fun shades that can be worn alone or over another shade to amplify them a bit!
FUN Lacquer will be having a sale THIS Friday, so make sure you read the info at the bottom to take her up on this amazing sale!
Bling It On!
Bling It On! is a silver foil shade with a linear holographic within it. This is absolutely stunning and the holo is amazing within it! I used 2 coats for these photos.
Bling It On! over a black creme polish
Bling It On! over black looks great, but I definitely prefer it on its own!
Pay Day!
PayDay! is a platinum is a clear base with a TON of small platinum shreds within it. I used 4 coats on its own for these photos. It was incredibly reflective (you can see a blurry reflection of my taking a photo in my nails).
Pay Day! over Black Creme
You can also use Pay Day! over a black creme (or any shade) for a platinum mini shred effect that brings a richness to most shades! I used 1 coat of Pay Day! for these photos.
Overview
Both of these shades are beautiful and I really loved them on their own as well as over another shade. My favorite is Bling It On! by itself. The holo against a silver foil base is just beautiful and the holo is nice and strong within it. I had no application issues with either shade and I think this is a fabulous set!
Price: $14.50 Each for Full Size – $9.50 Each for Mini Size
Where To Buy: F.U.N. Lacquer Shop

I have a special treat for you tonight! On April 23rd, SuperChic Lacquer will debut her Summer 2014 “Day Tripper” collection as well as a special exclusive “Hero” duo on Gloss48.com! Gloss48.com might also do a special pre-sale/early access to fans, friends & family as well!
All 8 of these shades are stunning polishes packed with shimmer. Perfect for the season!
First we are going to look at the Hero duo that will be exclusive to Gloss48.com
Gauntlet Girl
Gauntlet Girl is a dusty bronzey base with intense fuchsia shimmer. I used 2 coats for these photos.
Bulletproof Betty
Bulletproof Betty is my favorite of the duo! This is a medium grey creme base with intense aqua shimmer and a sprinkling of violet shimmer within. The violet doesn’t show well in photo, but it’s there! I used 3 thin coats for these photos.
Beautiful right? Love it!
Now the 6 shades that make up the SuperChic Lacquer Summer 2014 Day Tripper Collection!
Basking In The Sand
Basking In The Sun is a beautiful light peachy beige base with iridescent shimmer within it. I used 3 thin coats for these photos.
White Water Rush
You ready for this one?! My hands down favorite! White Water Rush is a white creme base with turquoise and violet shimmer. I used 3 thin coats for these photos and its just… wow. Photos cannot capture the beauty properly.
Hot Springs Dipping Hole
Hot Springs Dipping Hole is a beautiful vibrant sky blue with intense pink and aqua shimmer. I used 3 thin coats for these photos.
Kissed By The Sun
Kissed By The Sun is a bright lemon yellow with aqua and pink shimmer. I used 3 thin coats for these photos. I usually can’t pull off yellows, but this… this is fabulous.
Pocket Full Of Posies
Pocket Full Of Posies is a rose pink base with heavy pink shimmer throughout. If you love a girly-girl color… this is it. I used 3 thin coats for these photos.
Sunday Driver
I saved another favorite for last! Sunday Driver! This is an intense mint green base with turquoise shimmer throughout. This has a much subtler shimmer than the previous 7, but still amazing. If you love mint shades, then you need this. Now.
Overview
I don’t know about you, but I love a good shimmer! All 8 of these are gorgeous and look great in any lighting. All were easy for me to apply, but because of the intense shimmer, shades like Kissed By The Sun, Basking In The Sand, and Hot Springs Dipping Hole need to be applied in thin layers for an even look. Nothing difficult, but if you aren’t use to intense shimmer polishes, you should be prepared for that. The result is stunning!
Want an early chance at any of these beauties? Sign up on Gloss48.com before April 23rd for early access!
The Hero Duo (Bulletproof Betty and Gauntlet Girl) will ONLY be available on Gloss48.com, so if you want them, be sure to snag them when you have the chance!
Make sure you check out Wonder Beauty Products/ SuperChic Lacquer on Facebook for more updates and photos of this amazing collection!
Make sure you check out SuperChic Lacquer in the Swatch Gallery as well!

I recently had the opportunity through iFabbo to review the Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster!
I have had a couple of experiences with Dermalogica in the past, all of which had been good, but none as good as the Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster.
I have combination skin. So I get oily in some places and very dry and flakey in others. Choosing a moisturizer type product is always a pain because if I pick a good hydration one, it can make the oily areas worse, but if it doesn’t have enough moisture, the dry areas get even dryer throughout the day.
Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster is a rich serum that contains Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, and Glycolipids which help to improve skin hydration and minimize fine lines.
This is what the serum looks like, the amount shown is about the size of a dime, and it is plenty to cover my entire face and neck. This isn’t a product to replace your moisturizer. Skin Hydrating Booster is a product that is applied to your face and neck before moisturizer.
Overview
I have been using Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster for 3 weeks now, applying at night and in the morning, and I have noticed a significant improvement in my skin. The “flakey” areas have been behaving, and I have been able to use a lighter moisturizer so my oily areas don’t get out of whack. I only need to apply a thin layer, which soaks in almost immediately without any type of residue left behind. It does have a faint lavender scent, which I like. It isn’t a strong scent, but I can detect the lavender.
Overall, Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster is a perfect addition to my skin care routine, especially now that the weather is warming up!
Price: $56.00 for 30 mL
Where To Buy: Dermalogica Website
Have you tried out Dermalogica before? I’d love to hear about some of your favorite products from them!
