The Shea Butter Experiment

On more Fridays than not, you will find me spending my lunch break (and my lunch money;) ) in Sephora on State Street. Compared to my mom and sister who always have bajillion more skin and hair products than I do, I am something of a novice when it comes to keeping up with new products.

During one of my recent drop-ins to pick up Bare Minerals Primer and a new mascara, one of my free samples was L'Occitane pure shea butter. Not really knowing what to do with the little tub, I decided to try it on my under eye area. I would normally put it on my feet but such a small amount would barely cover my size 11 toes!

The result: after a week, my eyes look brighter, my under eye area is smoother and I haven't had any skin irritation. As a recent arrival to the late-20s club, I'm glad to add this to my nightly skin routine. I'll let you know when I discover that it's really mayonnaise or something. I'm a total newb.
