I know this doesn't help your order, but just reminded me to mention that I saw Caldrea soap/lotion sets and candles in two different sizes at Target the other day.

(This may be common knowledge. I haven't been getting out much lately.)

I have a full size, and while it's *really* thick, it's not hard

Mine is some what hard. I found that my AHAVA Softening Butter Salt Scrub is a hard pain to work with. I've been  using that for a couple of months and have to have a plastic rice scoop to get the product out but once I use it it "melts". The Shea Organics Whipped Shea Butter seems to be the same way but not as hard as the Butter Salt Scrub from AHAVA. If it's too hard for you try warming it up with a hair dryer or cover the jar with a hot damp cloth to "melt" it a bit.

Yep, it's firm in the jar. I just rub my fingers on the top and work some out /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The Shea Terra whipped shea I got in my Glossybox a couple of months ago wasn't hard at all.. it was super soft and fluffy. Weird!

Same thing happened to me too and I'm pissed too. I was also really wanting the mascara. I feel like Box 1 is substantially subpar. And, yes, I've had the same situation where I had a tracking number like on the 9th or 10th and then nothing... last week, I contacted them to ask if I could get an update and they replied that they had run out of some of the stuff for my box... okay, fine... and that it was shipping soon... okay, fine... now this? I get that it's only 10$ per month but I'm not liking the bait and switch. They better have a good box in December.

I don't see how because OLO said that they gave Birchbox their entire supply of samples. Unless BB is hoarding some, it would seem they're all out.

I totally get what you're saying, but I've used it all over my body and love it...even with the firmness of consistency. Like Zadi said, it starts to melt and spread very nicely out of the jar /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I like the banana better than the white chocolate, now I want to try the other flavors!

That doesn't sound bad at all! I swear I'm going to cave and grab a handful of the Mini Shea Whippers in December to try it out!

And just a question for those of you who have used the Shea Terra Whipped Body Creme as well as The Body Shop's Body Butters: Which one do you like more?

The butter! And I've bought a bunch of them from Shea Terra, and none of them are hard at all. I would contact Shea Terra about that.

OOOOhhhh, now I'm concerned that I misread the original posters comment about the body butter.....I thought she was referring to the whipped shea butter body creme? LOL now I'm all confused...butter? creme? arrgghh! lol

Sorry I didn't mean to confuse anyone! I just took the title of the product from the Shea Terra website but left out the butter (Shea Butter Body Creme => Shea Body Creme). I was the first to mention the Body Butter from The Body Shop, so you were right in what you initially responded! Sorry! XP

I've just been thinking about whether I should invest money in stocking up in The Body Shop moisturizers (that I know I already like) or if I should go ahead and try Shea Terra's moisturizers.

LOL it's cool, I was just concerned that I wasn't responding about the right product hahaha!

Just in case Angelalh is still reading this, I was referring to the Whipped Shea Butter Ultimate Moisturizing Body Creme, which has a firm feel in the jar but melts delightfully over the skin after you start to rub it in /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
