My sapote lotion was full, the murumuru milk wasn't. Oh well, don't really like the milk so I won't cry. Although for $15 I was a tad bit peeved until I looked at my stash. One tablespoon of product seemed so insignificant...lol

I received my order yesterday. I didn't receive a shipping notice this time around. Before I couldn't smell the TV scent in the last order, now it smells funny. One of those false, sweet smells... no like.

The Sapote Lotion is not the same consistency as before. Its thicker this time around.

My Cupuacu "butters" weigh 2.8 ounces. They were so light in hand I thought they were empty when I first grabbed them out of the box. One I haven't even taken the bubble wrap off of it. I suspect an air pocket somewhere inside because taking off the lid, it looks absolutely full. Its hard to see through the blue walls, but 2.8 ounces when my first ordered jar weighs 4.2 ounces with 1/3 of the product used already?? Something's off.

Yes, the consistencies are totally different. My first jar is a butter consistency similar to Zipporah's DMH Butter, nice and thick and a darker golden color. The one I received is whipped to so light a consistency its like a cream and a soft cream color also.

I took pics but my camera battery needs charging before downloading. I'll contact the owner later when I can get to the pics and have time to spare again.

I just got my order...this is my first time ordering so I have nothing to compare to. My Sapote lotions were thinner than the milk....which seems odd since everyone kept saying the lotion was thicker. Also, like Euka, the butters looked full but felt really light....but I didn't weight them so I don't know for sure.

I plan on washing tonight and useing the products to see how they perform....that will be the real test.

Oh...my lotions and milk appear to be full but its hard to see through those blue bottles.

I just got my package. I got the sapote lotion in the lemongrass scent. It smells just like lemongrass. It's not my favorite scent but I'm picky about my vanilla scents so that's why I didn't get the vanilla. If I end up liking the lotion though I may get a bottle in the other scents to try them out.

As far as consistency, it looks lotiony and kind of thin to me. I'll take a pic later.

I'll comment on the fullness of the bottle when the product settles a bit.

THIS, got my order yesterday.. one sapote lotion and one cupuacu butter. I already concluded I wont repurchase the butter no matter how great it works because its sold by volume clearly, and its been whipped up so much like Ekua said it ends up only being like 2oz of actual product. I compared the weight to my bsp, big difference.
and then after aalllllll that whipping they did its still chunky/lumpy.. ? No maam, not for $14

My sapote lotion was filled up pretty good. I'm glad I got the lemongrass scent. I've used it twice so far. Yesterday I used it on wet hair after rinsing out my conditioner and on top of it I used some sapote oil. This morning I used a little more sapote lotion. My hair is in twists now so I'll try using it on loose hair, perhaps with a wash-n-go, later.

I received mine a few days ago. One of the bottles wasn't full. The lemongrass smells like lemon Pledge and like some of you the amount on the cupuacu seems off. I haven't used anything yet so I will reserve my opinion for now.

I can tolerate it. The scent in the batch I have doesn't linger.

Finally got around to using the sapote lotion and I'm up in the air. TV still smells like a$$, it's nauseating. Word to the wise, shoot for unscented.

It has pretty decent slip and is very easy to reactivate with water. I'm not too sure about the moisture. I paired it with some QB to do my twist and didn't wait until my hair dried like I normally do so I won't get an accurate answer.

I should have probably gone with the Dew.

Mine doesn't linger either. The TV scent smells like Oyin Honey Hemp.

I haven't used mine yet, my only compliant was the weight/volume of the butter...it's whipped so much and LOOKS full, but it barely weighs 2 oz...

I haven't decided if I'm going to contact the seller...mostly I just won't rebuy.

My sapote lotions were super thin. Like thinner than lotion. Even thinner than my BFH Desert Moisturizer. I used it as a refresher and it was cool. Won't repurchase at all.

I also got the amazon butter, it was melted when it arrived but I could tell that it isn't exactly four ounces. I like it but I definitely wont repurchase.

SO I finally got around to using the mumuru lotion and the Cupuacu butter. I washed yesterday morning and wore my hair in a ponytail to air dry. Last night, I applied the mumuru lotion and the butter to my hair, twisted into chunky twists for a twist out today. I must admit that my hair looks REALLY good, is soft and is moisturized but is NOT greasy. However, I get pretty similiar results with several other products that I currently use so most likely when I've used this all up, I will not repurchase. As far as the scent, mine has a very, very faint TV scent...but I couldn't really smell it unless I put my noise to the container.
