Beauty Review: L'Occitane Pure Shea Butter

By -
A few years ago I stumbled upon L'Occitane pure Shea butter when I was putting together a gift guide. L'Occitane has a list of 50 uses for their pure Shea butter so I thought it would be a wonderful gift. It took me while, but I finally bought one for myself about two months ago. I just purchased the $12 travel size, which looks like a little lip balm.

You can check out all 50 uses here. I haven't tried them all, but my favorites are:
  • Cuticle cream. I've never used a better one.
  • Lip balm. I still use my Carmex, but when I need this, it's amazing.
  • Scabs, paper cuts, injuries from my general clumsiness. It's soothing and not as messy as most ointments.
  • Cracked dry skin. It's made winter so much more bearable.
  • Frizz tamer. I've just tried this and it's great! My curls are going to love it.
Hair, skin, nails. This has cleaned a lot of products out of my purse and travel pouch.

My favorite part of this product is the simplicity. It's only pure shea butter. My sensitive skin and allergies make skin care products impossible to find. This one doesn't cause irritation. It's amazing. Best of all the tiny tub will last forever. I've barely made a dent in two months.

The Shea butter comes in two sizes, .26 ounce for $12 or 5.2 ounces for $40 (this one is organic). All the Shea butter is sourced from women's cooperatives in Burkine Faso, West Africa at a fair price above market rate to help women gain economic independence. Look great. Feel great. Make the world better.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
