Aveda - Top Class Cleanser

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

...cheaper ones. I explained all this to the nice Aveda consultant whom I mentioned above. Aveda make several kinds of facial wash but the one she suggested would be most suitable for my combination skin was the Purifying Facial Gel. This is intended for skin which is normal to oily. She said this gel would help to balance out the oily and dry areas of my face, and also calm the redness that I tend to get across my cheeks when my skin is irritated. She squirted a little of the gel onto my hand. What a blissful smell! At that point I think I'd have bought it for the smell alone. I am very susceptible to nice smells and so I was in heaven. Gorgeousness! I am sniffing it again now so I can try and describe it to you. I can definitely smell lavender and I get the impression of geranium. I am not going to list all the ingredients in this...

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!!

...constantly reapply. It also hasn't irritated my skin whatsoever. I have only been using it for about two weeks so I'm not in a position to comment on whether its claims of anti aging are true, but my mum is a long term user and swears this is one that does actually work! We'll see.. Now for the bad part - the cost! It's effects are long lasting and you don't need to reapply every half an hour. For that reason it could be argued that it's cost effective, but there is no getting away from the fact that this product will set you back a hefty £16.15 for an 125ml tube (prices from Aveda online). Summary: There are some people who just wouldn't or couldn't pay that amount even if it delivered miracles. I haven't decided whether I would buy this for myself but may pop it on a birthday wishlist. It is a good product but I reckon I...

Review of Aveda Hand Relief

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....

Skins

Advantages: Lovable characters, fantastic storylines
Disadvantages: Have to wait a while for 2nd series to be on DVD

...I actually watched the very first episode of Skins by accident while I was flicking through channel's and I have to admit, I was instantly glued to the series from episode one. So when it came to writing out my Christmas list last year, the Skins DVD was high up on my list. Luckily for me, my boyfriend treated me to it. About The DVD Series One of Skins comes in a normal DVD came which has a picture of all the main characters on the front. There are actually two DVD's inside the case which hold all the episodes from the first series of Skins as well as bonus material. Bonus Material Video Diaries The bonus material on the Skins DVD include video diaries from all the actors in Skins. I found these quite interesting as you get an insight into what each actor is like when they are not playing their Skins character and you get...

Review of Skins Series One DVD

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

Remove unsightly veins without a Skin Doctor

Advantages: it works well, no operations
Disadvantages: takes a log time, perseverance is needed

...a difference, and boy what a confidence booster that is, I feel so much better about my appearance now, and looking forward to this years holiday in anticipation instead of dread. How it works:- Vein Away works in two stages; 1. First the active natural ingredients in Vein Away penetrate through the epidermal layers of the skin reaching the ruptured wall of the capillary and assists in the coagulation and mending of the wall. 2. Then the traditional natural oils in Vein Away help maintain the elasticity and health of the vein as well as disperse the dried blood on surrounding capillaries. Application:- Apply the cream morning and night. Make sure your skin has been pre-moistened with warm water to open up the pores of your skin for maximum absorption. The ideal time to apply Vein Away would be after a shower or bath. Lightly massage...

Review of Skin Doctors Vein Away Plus

A body lotion that actually refreshes the skin and senses

Advantages: light, hydrating, non sticky and cool-warm sensation
Disadvantages: can sting of used on freshly shaved skin

...really is; there is scientific studies showing that limited amounts of sulphates (SLS, ALS) does not irritate the skin esp iif it then rinsed out straight away as shampoos are. It is now part of the este lauder corporation but operates and manufactures seperately. The Body Lotion: Ok ramble over, I don't why I did that I just felt like a ramble today. The aveda romsemary and mint body lotion is part of their rosemary and mint collection which includes shampoo, conditioner, hand + body wash and this lotion. It is one of their more basic ranges. The body lotion contains, aloe vera, lavender, marjoram, peppermint, rosemary, menthol and vitamin A and vitamin E. It smells alittle like lamb dressing ha ha okay not so bad, but very minty and slightly spicey. It is a very light lotion which sinks in straight away leaving my skin tones, refreshed...

Review of Aveda Rosemary Mint Body Lotion

Tend for your skin!

Advantages: Works!
Disadvantages: Expensive, smells strongly

...''What is it? Tendskin is a solution which stops razor bumps, ingrown hairs and razor burn. It is for both men and women and is useable anywhere hair is removed. It is especially useful for when you get 'down there' waxed as it acts as an exfoliant stopping the ingrown hairs that come so readily in that area. ''What does it look like? It comes in a blue bottle, with a gold twist cap. It has gold & white writing on the front telling you the name of the product and what it's for.

Review of Tend Skin Solution

For thirsty skin!

Advantages: It works
Disadvantages: The price

...I'll cut straight to the point to say that in my opinion this is one of the best face masks I have ever tried, if you are looking for a product to hydrate your skin, especially during the summer I would suggest you give this a go! I never heard of the Dermalogica brand before my current beautician introduced me to it a few years ago. I was a bit unsure about forking out money for a brand I did not know but once I started seeing the results after buying a set of their tiny trial products I was converted and am still currently using them. THE PRODUCT ********** The product comes in a medium soft white plastic tube in a shape of a cylinder with a grey cap made of hard plastic which means this product can easily stand on its head taking little space in your bathroom cabinet.. The product is of a gel consistency clear in colour...

Review of Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque

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!...
