suzy has convinced me to try that vanilla bourbon body creme on my next order.
I don't like really sweet scents but a sophisticated type vanilla sounds intriguing. Darn you girl!
OP, I second the Nilotica shea butter for things like lips, hands, etc, even my picky DH uses this all the time on his lips. I want to try the Gold one sometime too. And rub a little oil (if you get the argan-rose hip seed one) into your nails and cuticles with the remainder after you apply it to your face and you will be amazed at how nice your nails and cuticles will be after awhile.
HappyDaze, the only slight con to the body creme is that it's quite dense. If you find that it doesn't spread as well as you'd like, you can mix it with a little bit of body lotion or apply it while your skin is still a bit damp. It's not a big deal, but I thought I'd mention it.
I think I told you a while back that I was leaning more toward the Organik shea rather than the Gold, but fickle person that I am, I'm now preferring the Gold.
I do like the Nilotica for around my eyes and a tiny bit patted on my face, but I have to say that I prefer the Gold for areas like feet, elbows, hands, etc. (per the site's recommendation). I find that it's so moisturizing and creates a barrier that lasts for many hours.
Funny goof -- I have put a couple drops of oil or a dab of Gold shea in my bath and liked it. Yesterday I tried a it with the Nilotica. Oops. The bathtub became very slippery. But my skin felt great.
suzy, I have to thank you. You know, I've had that little jar of Nilotica now for forever and never once thought of trying it on my face. I thought it would be way to greasy and cause pimples or milia (never had that but worried about getting it). But yesterday I tried a new sunscreen that irritated my face so I washed it off but my face still seemed angry, lol. So I took a teeny tiny amount of the nilotia, warmed it up in my hands and patted it onto my skin and rubbed a little under my eyes. It REALLY calmed down my skin and gave it nice, smooth look! So this morning I decided to mix a tiny amount of it with some rose hip seed oil and use it under my makeup and wow!!! It worked like what I always thought primers were suppose to work like (but never do, at least for me). I probably won't use it every day to make sure no issues develop but I might have found a nice addition to my routine. Thanks for the suggestion and I feel that it does leave a nice moisture barrier, keeping in the moisture much better than any silicone-based product has ever done, and so far, without any issues developing.
Now I need to buy a big tub of it and also try the Gold. Oh and my DH has been using the Nilotica every day in the AM on his lips. He loves that stuff (I have to steal back my jar from him).

Glad you liked the tip about Nilotica. The key is to use just a tiny amount. Even then, I sometimes need to massage it in pretty well. I've used it several times and have had no irritation or other problems.
O/T: I see that you bought the Resist Super-Light Daily Defense SPF 30. Just remember that it's not super moisturizing, so you can always use another moisturizer under it if you need to.
