Sweet! Later this evening will be Friday night facial time! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm going to try the sample I have. Thanks for the reviews ladies! I really like the facial cleansers I use now, but am always looking for more body soap. So, depending on the results, I may get a bar and alternate with my Borghese. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Where do you guys buy the liquid black soap from?

 

[calexxia]

I purchased my first bottle via Amazon , but they do awesome deals via their website.

 

[bluemustang]

Thanks! Kinda funny that in all my time of beauty sample programs, not once have I sampled from them.. Everyone else and their dog has though..

I knew I did it last month, now I have time to fill out surveys, seems like I do not know how to do it again. LOL. Help please? Thanks!

I cancelled my GB, not because I didn't enjoy the products, or even because of how much work they need and how bad the CS is. I cancelled because I didn't feel like I was getting value for my money. For the same price I could get two more birchboxes (I already have one) and get two full sized items. The only full sized item I got in GB was the eye shadow and it didn't really wow me. I get more for my money with BB. I also wasn't that excited about it and I get way more excited when BB comes and I love how much more colorful the products are in it and they are products I would actually use, some of the GB items were way out of my price range I wouldn't even want to sample them (like that set of 3 facial lotions for like over 100 dollars each). Anyway I cancelled my GB before they started their next round of charging for july (they stoped after everyone complained the first week so they stopped charging for a few more weeks). I hope I don't end up regretting it if July's box is awesome, but honestly I doubt it!

I'm considering canceling as well. Hoping August will be intro to fall so better products for the $. But if I don't like August, for that much $, may cancel.

I gave my BFF a small container of the Rose Hips Black Soap and she said she had mild tingling but nothing painful. I'm sure it's just because of the Retin A. Either way I can put up with the burning for good results and so far I'm really liking it! My cheeks are so clear and smooth. I'm impressed. I'm a huge Shea Terra fan now.

Anyone wanting to order Shea Terra has a 30% off code I believe it's JULY2012

Quick question about the Rose Hips Black Soap - I just received mine today and used it per the bottle directions, i.e. applied on face, waited 5 minutes, massaged off with water, then repeated. Is this how everyone else is using it, too? Or should I just used it like normal face wash - lather on and rinse off? Either way, my skin feels so nice after the first use!

Sometimes I just use it as a quick slather on and massage followed by a rinse off, but if I have the time, I will apply it as a mask to my damp, clean face and leave on for 20 minutes.  My skin looks so good since I started using this 3 months ago.  I just reordered off the Shea Terra website along with the Banana Baobos (sp?) body cream which smells just like banana pudding.  yum!

 

[StellaSunshine]

Shea Terra also sent some free samples with my order which was a really nice surprise!

I tend to slather it on my face, go do something else for 5-10 minutes, and massage it off with water. I've seen results that way, but have never tried repeating. My sample bottle says "Repeat for desired results", which I find vague. What do they mean? Maybe the face gets clearer and clearer as you keep repeating, lol?

Cool, thanks for letting me know! I'm glad to know you can use it both ways and still see results. PS I love that scent of Shea butter - that's the one I received in my Glossybox and I've already gone through half of it lol. I definitely plan to re-purchase!

That's kind of what I was wondering as well lol! I'm thinking I'll follow suit and just use it the one time - thanks for letting me know!

 

[calexxia]

The way that I use it (my skin isn't sensitive) is to leave a thin layer on for about five minutes, massage it off with one of my exfoliating mitts, then do a quick wash with it. It really surprised me how well it worked on my blackheads. Can't say enough good about it.

 

[HelloLeilani]

OOOoooh, I have that Shea Terra soap and have yet to use it as I was unsure about how exactly I should go about using it. Thanks ladies. 

 

[iPretty949]

I do not want to upset everybody who tried it and those who wants to try it. I have two of those and I tried a few of my first bottle (sampled from BA). The smell is just weird, I have to breathe deep and stop for a few secs to apply it. Anything you do special when applying it?

The Shea Terra site (or maybe their Facebook) mentioned mixing some granulated sugar in with the Rose Hips black soap wash to make an awesome scrub.

Oooo. That is interesting! I am definitely trying that when I get back home. If that would work for me, I might buy the full size then.

Thanks for the suggestion!
