Shea Terra body creams are the best that I have ever used, hands down. I own a couple of them and I can't live without them. I have the Banana and Boababs which smells like banana pudding but better. I also have the Pink Guava Pomegranate which is a very light and refreshing, and the Marula which is very sweet. It's almost a toffee smell or something along those lines, but it smells really good. I want to try them all! I also love their Dark Chocolate Sugar Exfoliating scrub too. If you call them, they can usually work with you to "build" a sample pack of the products that they have in sample sizes that aren't listed on their website. I did that to introduce my mom to their products. Oh, and if you like them on Facebook, they are constantly doing giveaways of their products.

Just finished my blog post - the box with the mascara was worth around $52. Guess I'm staying described despite the problems I've had. hahahah

Uh Huh Her
Huh. My Shea Terra wasn't sealed (the shaving cream was, though). There's a dip sort of like a thumb *could* have made it, but the surface of the butter itself is smooth. No arch, loop, or whorl. It actually reminds me of when my mom used to make jams/jellies and seal them with paraffin. That makes me a little nervous of the consistency, but, hey, I might as well give it a shot tonight.
And I'm trying the perfume right now. On top of it being an oil (I can't wear alcohol-based fragrance, so I was thrilled to *finally* see a perfume oil in one of these boxes), this is actually my sort of scent! A little herbal, a little citrusy, and a whole lot hippie. I was a little concerned about the vetiver (my nose reads it as burning), but it's playing nicely with everything else. I would seriously consider ordering a sampler from the company to decide which one to order in a full-sized bottle (and $65 for 12 ml may sound astronomical if you're used to paying $40 for a two-ounce bottle of eau de toilette, but oil goes *much* further than eau de toilette. I have a particular oil that I use almost every night as a bit of sleepytime aromatherapy, and I've been working on the same 5 ml bottle for a couple of years now) if I didn't already have literally hundreds of perfume oils already. It's too bad there isn't a magical delivery system where everyone who didn't want theirs could drop it in a chute, and those of us who dig it can collect all the discards, all with no postage or travel time involved. I could justify collecting these and putting them in my own rollerball bottle if I didn't have to buy the oil.
(Also, for *any* perfume where you like the scent but can't wear it due to problems with skin chemistry issues, a scent locket can be a fantastic investment! Just put the scent on a bit of cotton -- I typically use cotton balls since I always have them due to my nail polish addiction -- and put it in the locket. As your body heat warms the metal, the scent will be released. It won't always smell the same since skin chemistry does affect scent, but that actually sometimes makes a scent *better*. My current scent locket is this little piece of steampunkery:
I've been using them for four and a half years now, and they're great when I don't want to wear perfume directly on my skin for any reason. And if you are, say, a nurse who can't wear scent at work, you just take off your necklace, and *boom* scent-free. Put it back on, and *boom* scented. As an added bonus, this one is groovy enough that I will wear it just as jewelry and not bother with putting a scent in it.)

I am NOT putting down Shea Terra at all. I guess I just want more uniqueness from GB, especially with all the problems!

I ordered a couple 1 oz jars of the Shea Terra after getting my sample. I love how they sell smaller versions of it. I can never use up a full size! I need variety and I always cycle my lotion products around or else I get sick of it. Coupon code: July2012 If anyone is interested on saving a little bit of $$$ in the site.
YOU GUYS ARE HORRIBLE!!! I'm definitely gonna make a purchase... it's my boyfriend's mom's birthday soon... and I want a couple of things toooo

The black soap is one of the most amazing products I have ever used! It cleared up my acne prone skin and reduced old scars to almost nothing. I have it in both the bar form and liquid soap. Liquid on my face and the bar in the shower for body exfoliation. My skin has never felt or looked so good. I never ever would have gone without foundation because my skin was so bad, but I do it all the time now. Order it, you won't be disappointed! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Plus, the 30% off coupon really makes it a great deal.

You are all a bunch of enablers!!!! With that said I bought the Rose Hips Black Soap and a Pink Guavas and Pomegranates mini. I can't wait to use them!!!
Thanks for the coupon code as well. At least that takes care of the shipping. I despise shipping costs. Amazon Prime has spoiled me.

Haha, what are virtual friends on the internet for? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> You really won't be disappointed. Shea terra is my favorite and most trusted skincare brand. I found them by getting a sample in Beauty Army and I love them.

Ooh, I keep forgetting I have a little bottle of the Rose Hips Black Soap that I received in some box (don't remember which one) several months ago (don't remember specifically when)! I broke it out tonight since this thread made me think about it. I'm going to have to remember to try it when it's not hot out because the heat makes my skin (well, really, my sweat) turn weirdly... acidic, I guess. *Everything* stings my skin when it's like this. Cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, you name it.
