Aveda - Top Class Cleanser

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

...charge taking any notice of this fact? Aveda is certainly at the premium end of the beauty industry, but at least you can shop with a clear conscience. For over 30 years this company has been at the forefront of promoting ethical values. They do not test on animals. They are now carbon neutral. They cannot yet obtain every single ingredient from an organic source, but around 90% of their ingredients are certified organic. They use recycled materials as far as possible in their packaging. They support various environmental charities and practice fair trade policies. For much more about Aveda and their products see their website at: www.aveda.co.uk Aveda Purifying Facial Gel I like to use a wash-off facial cleanser because I feel refreshed by using water on my face and also I cannot be bothered faffing around...

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 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

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

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

Miracle product

Advantages: Last for ages, covers unsightly marks.
Disadvantages: expensive

...This pen type tube has been quite literally a miracle in a tube. It claims to hide all those unsightly marks including dark circles around the eye's as well as a multitude of other sins whilst leaving you with a radiant glow and flawless skin and it does just that. Using the penstyle tube with attached brush you click on the end button to release some cream and then apply it wherever and because of the way it has been designed it is very difficult to let too much liquid out and it goes on in exactly the right amount. I have never been a big fan of concealers in the past as all they seem to do is cake the colour is never never quite right and you can see some evidence of a blemish. However, it is well worth £20 for this gold stick like pen of touche eclat concealer I use this product most days and a year on I still have...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

Aveda Sap moss shampoo

Advantages: Extremely conditioning
Disadvantages: The smell!

...?. But you do get used to it. It is expensive too (cost me about £18 for the shampoo and conditioner) ? but well worth the cost! When it comes to haircare i'm one of those people who HAVE to keep trying new products - but this is the one product that i keep coming back to. You would think that i had learnt my lesson by now!!...

The production of Mirwais

Advantages: My feet are tapping.
Disadvantages: None.

...string overtones), before launching itself into the Mirwais parody of eighties pop anthems. The twisted and deformed voice interjects, and the sparks fly. Involution is a swirling, billowing, smoke filled chill out room at the back of the club. You?re tired, a little anxious and nervous, so Mirwais brings you down with silky vibes and enchanting melodies. If only you still had the strength left to shuffle round the dance floor to the simple flow of notes, to enjoy the warm embrace of Mirwais? French Touch...but no, it is over, and it is time to go to bed. Goodnight. Production, Mirwais, 2000. Naive, distributed by Sony....
