Both are fantastic and I would reorder. I'm in the process of using my Rose Hips and Black soap or whatever it's called. LOL. Can't make a full review yet but I have my fingers crossed for fantastic results! Shea Terra also included a rather large sample  of the Rose Hips and Pink Clay soap so I'm pretty excited to try that too!!!

Big thanks to Glossybox for introducing me to this awesome company!

That's awesome! I received an tracking info email from them today, so maybe the items I ordered will arrive this week!

This was their reply about the question I asked on FB.

There was no comments about we shouldn't do them tho

In that case, if you don't feel the ethical dillemma, go ahead and do them for the glossydots. I'm not sure if they'll award you the points right away like BB does. haha

ugh! Got my box today. The Shea Terra is up for trade if anyone wants it. It is in White Chocolate. I am on the fence about the mascara. Has anyone tried it yet. Almost all mascara irritates my eyes and if it doesn't it just melts down my face in like ten mins after i apply it. Also, the perfume they sent me almost made me throw up. It was so strong!

Sorry to rant you guys but idk this box kinda sucked for me.

The mascara is my new favorite and I've been using Benefit They're Real . Benefit BadGal and I was testing out the Maybelline Flasies.  The Beauty Addicts formula is smooth and doesn't flake which is super important for my sensitive eyes.  I haven't experienced any smudging yet.   The the only way I can describe the brush is Fierce! but in a good way I feel like it attacks my lashes.....in a good way. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Wow that is fast!  Keep us posted on the Rose Hips!  I am always on the hunt for something new...

I just started using the Benefit They're Real also. Can't wait to try my Beauty Addicts Mascara from my Glossybox. Can I ask how the Maybelline Falsies is?  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got the Pink Guavas and Pomegranates in my Glossybox also. I love it!! The smell is sweet but light. I applied it before I went to bed and the next morning my hands were still super soft. I was a little put off by the thickness, but I could just use at night and it would be ok.

I tried the EyeShadow last night. I received Goldilocks that gold pigment.

I must say it was so DEVINE! I loved its decadence! It will definitely be my new eye look for the summer!

Jealous! If I got that box I definitely wanted Goldilocks! It looks so pretty. I love gold shadows.

On another note, I ended up ordering a full size of the Shea Terra whipped butter in Mango. My fingertip psoriasis is gone for now using this shea butter. It's the one thing I haven't used on it yet and they seem to love it!! I've tried every hand cream in the world except this.

i looooved that body creme too! the texture is a little getting used to but the scent is divine. did you order off the shea terra site? they ship really fast plus they usually have promo codes.

Anyone still trading?

I got the June box today, and am willing to trade the Ofra Shadow (Goldilocks) and the AHAVA wash (hibiscus & fig) for the Shea Terra cream and mascara. I'll throw in the perfume sample and Wella cream too.

Though this was only my first Glossy Box, I'm going to cancel. It didn't quite meet my expectations.

Me too!!! I got my order in today, and I got samples of the soap and three rather large vials of different oils! I can't wait to try all this stuff! Thank you to those of you who raved about that black soap! I can't wait to wash my face this evening to try it out!

I keep misreading "Magento Commerce" as "Magneto Commerce."  And, whoa, if my gray kitten was a movie character, he would *totally* be Michael Fassbender as Erik Lensherr in _X-Men: First Class_.  I named my car after Dr. X (spelled xAavier, because he's a *faaaabulous* Scion xA), so my brain is predisposed to catch things like this.  But!  When it comes to e-commerce, even an accidental resemblance to a comic book supervillain/antihero isn't exactly optimal.  At least I hope it's accidental.

Also, weird.  The surveys don't always have the same options for stores and brands.  Half the time, I have to enter "Nordstrom," and half the time, it's already there.  Also, there are a few places where there are required answers, and they're brand-specific, but there's no fill-in for other brands.  I don't use any of the brands listed in one survey, and there's no "other" space, but the brands I do use are in another, as is an "other" space.  This is particularly annoying when the question is required, but you don't use any of the brands listed, and you *have* to pick one in order to be able to submit the survey.  The survey-makers need to coordinate better.  

(As for the surveys, I did them all, but I also dipped into my aunt's box.  I got one, and she got the other, so we have everything covered.  The part that *really* sucks for me is that I can't use moisturizer or hair masques in the summer because my skin becomes oily and, like, acidic or something, so anything on my face other than cleanser burns, and my hair is too healthy for me to waste extra-strength conditioner on it right now, so I couldn't try everything.  On the up side, now I have things to try in the fall and winter when this annual skin disaster stops and I find out what my hair is like when it's not in a pixie cut for the first time in about fifteen years.)

I noticed some peeps commenting on the Shea Terra Rose Hips Black Soap. I received a decent sized sample om my April Klutchclub box. I really like the product, however it is too strong for my skin and I cant use it every day. It amazingly got rid of my blackheads (!). Any website that sells african black soap will tell you to use a moisturizer/cream after, because it WILL dry out your face pretty bad. You can also use it as a mask, once or twice a week instead of as a daily cleanser.

It is STRONG! I can't believe it doesn't have chemicals. I get the burning tingling sensation but I always think that means it's working. LOL It said that would happen and they aren't kidding! From what I read it actually dissolves the sebum so it's fresh new skin and that appears to be the case. I'm using it once in the morning and the pink clay soap at night. I use Retin A after and moisturize well. I'm liking it so far but it's only day 2 or 3.

The reaction is really that intense?? Is this from the bar soap or liquid? I have a mini liquid sample, but haven't broken it out yet.

 

[princess2010]

It is for me. I'm on Retin A which makes your skin very sensitive. The packaging says there may be some tingling and redness. I think the meds I'm on makes it worse.

I told myself I wasn't going to open another skin care sample til I finished up a few other things, but now I'm super curious and going to have to try it. Does anyone use the Black soap with a Clarisonic? I'm currently loving the Boscia cleanser and my Clarisonic...maybe I can try to add this and see what happens after a week.

 

[nikita8501]

I guess it must have been discussed a few pages ago and I tried my best to look it up. Could anybody tell me how they got samples of Shea Terra Organics? Do they sell a sampler pack or something? I tried looking up their website, but did not find anything about samples. I think this brand was on Hautelook a few weeks ago and I almost bought a few things, but then stopped myself from doing so. Now that you girls are all talking about this brands, I gotta try it!!

I was reading the review of the cleanser on Pink Sith's blog and she has mentioned specifically that this cleanser should not be used with Clarisonic. Just quoting from the blog here "HOWEVER, those with sensitive skin should NOT use this every day and you should NOT use this in conjunction with a face brush like a Clarisonic.  In the interest of science and because I like to be a martyr for the blog, I used this with my Clarisonic brush and lemme tell you.  My skin was ANGRY after I rinsed it off.  ANGRY like the Red Hulk."

Angry like the Red Hulk...Ouch! Looks like it can cause serious irritation if used with Clarisonic! Hope that helps!

 

[MissLindaJean]

Thanks! I think I'd prefer my Clarisonic over a face wash. As for the samples and minis, people purchased directly from Shea Terra. They offer the body butters in minis and full sizes. You may have to browse around and find something you like! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
