From what I've seen, people either absolutely love unrefined shea butter, or they hate it. I, very fortunately, fall into the former camp. I picked up a whole tub of unrefined shea from an old...

This is the best eye cream out there. When softened in your fingers and applied a night time, you awake with hydrated eyes. Makeup application looks flawless the next day!
