Super Groovy

My friend swears by Carol’s Daughter products.  She is downright obsessed with the Almond Cookie Shea Souffle, which is what led me to peruse the shelves at my local Sephora.  My friend is definitely right about the butter – what a wonderful product!  I actually bought Groove Shea Souffle because the scent is so sexy and alluring, I couldn’t not own it.  Groove contains peach, pineapple, vanilla, chocolate and musk which sounds like a bizarre mix, but it smells so delicious, you won’t be able to stop smelling your buttery-soft skin.  The Souffle is extremely moisturizing and a little goes a long way.  But, be forewarned, because it is pure shea butter (along with cocoa butter and almond oil to name a few ingredients), it does not sink in quickly so expect to wait a bit before getting dressed after applying it.  Regardless of its sinkability (yes, I just made that word up) you will not be disappointed with the results on your skin.  The scent lasts all day (yum!) and the moisture lasts for hours.  One negative to the cream, however, is it states on the jar that you must use it within six months so it’s at its peak freshness.  It is a big jar, so I fear I won’t get through it all in that amount of time.  But, for the money (only $25.00 for a HUGE jar) I guess I can re-stock my shelf in six months.  Or, go on their website and order the smaller jars.  They turn out to be more expensive, but you’ll be sure to get through them in time.  Plus, with the smaller jars, you can actually get a few of the different scents.  It’s always good to mix it up a bit.  (This coming from the chick who can’t stop buying black sweaters).
