Aveda - Top Class Cleanser

Advantages: Suits my skin very well. Lovely to use.
Disadvantages: Price!

...bouquet of thanks to the lovely Aveda consultant at House of Fraser in Birmingham. If only all beauty consultants were like her. She listened to what I wanted, she was relaxed and approachable, I felt comfortable talking to her and she was clearly knowledgable about the Aveda range, without being at all pushy. I had a free cup of Aveda's own brand of herbal tea while I was browsing and trying out all the different scents and potions. As a result of feeling so at home among the fascinating shelves of Aveda I did spend money and left happy. About Aveda A generous friend bought me a body mist from Aveda as a present a few months ago and I totally loved it. I blame her for the fact that I am now obsessed by all things Aveda. Why couldn't I become obsessed with something cheap? I should be a rich person! Why is no-one in...

Review of Aveda Purifying Gel Cleanser

Aveda hand relief - my hands smell like cakes!!

Advantages: It does a great job of moisturising your hands, a little goes a long way
Disadvantages: Bit pricey!!

...Advantages: It does a great job of moisturising your hands, a little goes a long way A bit about me: Generally I am not really one for spending a lot of money on cosmetics or creams. Apart from the odd treat at Christmas or birthdays, I will do a lot of research and pick the product that does the best job for as little cash as possible. Pretty much the area of my beauty regime that I will spend the least on, is my hands which is daft because due to years of eczema, my hands look far far older than I am. I am 35, my hands, bless em, are 60! Eczema has left them dry and extremely sensitive so I need to take care with the products I use. My mum gave me one of her half full tubes of Aveda Hand relief cream insisting that it was fantastic and I should try it. The product: It promise to soothe dry, chapped hands leaving them...

Review of Aveda Hand Relief

Aveda Sap Moss Shampoo

Advantages: Makes your hair smell and feel fantastic
Disadvantages: Can be pricey.

...Aveda makes a large range of hair care products. They are not tested upon animals and are made from natural ingredients. I have already tried the Aveda range before, and was impressed by this product when I saw it on QVC. You can also buy it from Aveda hair salons and over the internet from Aveda.com. This is a pricey product. It comes in a range of sizes from 250ml to a full litre pump bottle. Prices start at about £10 to £40 for the litre pump. However, it is economical - a little goes a long way. I have a friend who bought the litre bottle and it lasted for 6 months of daily use. I bought the 250ml bottle as part of a special offer that included the conditioner for £20. The secret of the shampoo is that you leave it on for a few minutes for the moisturising benefits of the Sap Moss to take effect before you wash it off...

Review of Aveda Sap Moss Shampoo

Aveda Loose Powder

Advantages: great finish
Disadvantages: smallish pot

...This is my new favourite loose powder (which was previously Lancome). What's special about it is that it's the first loose powder which never irritates my skin, even if I don't wear a foundation or base underneath. My guess is that's because Aveda don't use mineral oil in any of their products, unlike most powders on the market. (it does contain talc though, so won't be suitable for those who have a sensitivity to that). The other great thing about this is that it's absolutely compatible with every other foundation I've tried it with - brands ranging from Maybelline to Nars and Boots to Sisley. Most powders work with some brands and not others, but here the colour and texture always stays true....

Review of Aveda Loose Powder

Aveda Scalp Benefits Shampoo

Advantages: Cleans and conditions hair fantastically. Smells gorgeous. Made from natural ingredients.
Disadvantages: Slightly more pricey than some other brands (but worth it)

...After years of searching for a product which would properly clean my very oily hair I was recommended this product by my local Aveda retailer. It is fantastic! After just one wash three people commented on how shiny my hair was and I have had nothing but compliments ever since! After using this product in combination with the Scalp Benefits Conditioner for over a year my hair is in great condition even though I blow dry and straighten (using super hot GHD straighteners) every day! And where I was having to wash my hair every morning it now lasts a couple of days before it needs to be washed again. The product is all natural and has a gorgeous dandilion and burdock smell. Well done Aveda for this wonderful product!...

Review of Aveda Scalp Benefits Balancing Shampoo

Quick fix colour from Aveda

Advantages: great to liven hair colour up
Disadvantages: none

...of a salon' feel and look, and the colour was excellant. Aveda do a whole range of different colour conditioners to suite every hair type, but for anyone with red hair (coloured or natural), brunettes with red tones or black hair that want extra shine then this really is the best conditioner. Its as gentle as any good conditioner should be, but with the added benefit of giving extra colour. One word of warning though, your hands do go slighlt red when you have applied it, so you need to really wash them after, and if you are leaving it on for longer than 5 mins then I'd wrap your hair in an old dark coloured towel. (it does wash out though, so it doesn't matter if the towel is white)....

Review of Aveda Clove Conditioner

Aveda Sap Moss Shampoo - Great for thick hair

Advantages: Great for thick hair
Disadvantages: Hard to get out of the tube , needs a bit of work to lather up

...I was given a 125ml tube of Aveda's Sap Moss Shampoo by a friend. I have long, thick hair with a tendency towards dryness and split ends - and I am in my 40s so have a weather eye on the grey coming through .I have abused my locks with colour for a few years now!(I am female by the way!) This shampoo was a revelation! It's quite hard to get out of the tube and doesn't lather up very much so you could be mislead into thinking it isn't really working. Persevere ! After I had had a good go at lathering and then rinsed it off (adding a bog standard conditioner after) - I then left my hair to dry. Well - what a surprise - my hair had more body and softness than it's had in ages. Not overly shiney but much more manageable and with great texture. Also the split ends seemed to have all but disappeared after use! I put it all down to...

Review of Aveda - Brilliant Range

cruely free but is it actually any good?

Advantages: makes hair quite shiny and no bunnies got hurt
Disadvantages: no incredible results

...In my old age (27!) I've started to get a bit more green and ethical and have wanted to buy animal cruelty free shampoos. Aveda are totally cruely free in that neither the product or ingredients have been tested on animals. The main ingredients in this shampoo are: coriander oil, eucalyptus oil, lavender oil, orange oil bitter and wheat conditioners. The scent of this is really strong and those ingredients do come through in the scent. If you do not like strong scents then this may not be the shampoo for you as it is quite "heady" and the scent remains on your hair for a while! Now on the Aveda website it recommends that this shampoo is best for daily use as it gentle and whilst cleansing also nourishes. It also says it is suitable for all hair types. The liquid itself when in your hair lathers really well so you do not need...

Review of Aveda Shampure

Warning This Op contains Sex and Nudity

Advantages: read op
Disadvantages: read op

...an American company called Aveda. They manufacture what is loosely called “salon products” and these naturally include shampoo. The best selling of these is a shampoo called “Shampure.” According to Aveda, this contains no less than 25 flower and plant essences including organic petitgrain and ylang ylang, and is intended to make the process of washing your hair an aromatherapy experience. ( I don’t believe I am writing this stuff.) The shampoo itself is designed to be suitable for all types of hair, so no need to check for dry, brittle, or greasy (horrible name for hair), as in this case one shampoo does all. The actual fragrance is lovely but difficult to describe. I can smell lavender and rosemary, but there are other scents that hint at the further ingredients. I find that in the case of “...
