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

Brilliant - as the name suggests

Advantages: A must for textured hair
Disadvantages: Perhaps the price

...The brilliant range of Aveda is mainly for textured hair, I believe. I have wavy hair and I use the shampoo, conditioner and retexturing gel. The 3 products used together produces more curls, rather than just waves. I use it everytime I have a night out, and also the night before I go on holiday, if I do not wish to wash it too quickly into the holiday. The combination keeps the style much longer than other shampoos. As it's name suggests, it's 'brilliant'. Especially for long haul flights, when everybody's hair looks like a nightmare as they get off the plane. The retexturing gel is what it says 'a gel'. Although you know you have a styling product in your hair, it's not sticky, and will brush out, without any residue left, immediately. I find the range a bit expensive, but I only use it in 'special situations', and it is therefore...

Review of Aveda - Brilliant Range

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

Amazing shine, soft, generally perfect hair

Advantages: Organic ingredients, absolutely amazing hair, soothes scalp, ethical company
Disadvantages: May not like smell of essential oils

...I have just discovered how amazing this product is and so i had to write about it! Its the Aveda Brilliant shampoo and i got it from beautyandtheeast.com for £9.50 for 250ml and delivery is free! I dont think you can get a much better deal than that. I ordered it because id heard great things about it and although i do love Kerastase Bain Satin (as you'll see from my other review) i do prefer things that are a bit more natural and with an ingredients label that you can pretty much read straight and not find anything weird sounding! Aveda are a company know for using plant extracts and other naturally sourced ingredients in their products. The website states 'Aveda believes in conducting business in a manner that protects the earth, conserves resources and does not compromise ability of future generations to sustain themselves...

Review of Aveda - Brilliant Range

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

Shine On....

Advantages: Superb shine in seconds
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...have become my saviour, I have never experienced any allergies or reactions with their range of goodies, and believe me, I’ve tried them all! Aveda Pure-Fume Brilliant Spray-On for Hair is a favourite of mine. It revitalises tired and dull looking hair in seconds and is simplicity itself to use. It’s a spray product, just spray it on to your hair lightly, comb it through and watch an exceptional shine develop within minutes. Its excellent for those of you who are in a rush in the morning without time to wash your hair, the shine and gloss this product provides to DRY hair is second to none. And it smells pretty darn good too, jasmine and rose being the predominant perfumes. Even better, it lasts all day, although the more you brush your hair, the quicker it will fade. It works exceptionally well on dry, course and frizzy...

Review of Aveda Pure-Fume Brilliant Emollient

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

Noah knows his dad is brilliant!

Advantages: A great bonding time for dad and kids
Disadvantages: A bit short

...This book is written by Nick Butterworth and was first published in 1989 by Walkers books. It retails at just £4.99 and in my opinion this is a good bargain. The book is all about a young boy who thinks his dad is............yes, you've guessed it 'brilliant'. Every page is filled with a different action that the dad can perform and it basically concentrates on highlighting dad's in general. When I was a little girl, my dad was like superman. In my eyes what ever he said was 'gospel' and there was nothing that he couldn't do. I love the fact that this book takes that very concept and puts it into a basic and understandable read for young children. The book is very basic and easy to read with only a few words on each page. The words relate to the picture and it's very easy for a young child to almost read the text...
