As smooth as a babys bum

Advantages: it works!
Disadvantages: v.v.expensive

...As a sales rep for a local newspaper I have to visit lots of different customers one of which is a beauty salon who is a main stockist of aveda products. I?ve had lots of wonderful treatments there and have experienced a lot of aveda products. I find aveda products quite expensive but as they are all made of natural ingredients and not tested on animals then I don?t mind treating myself to something now and again. I bought avedas smoothing body polish because I?m going on holiday shortly and really need to get rid of that dry winter skin and also to have a go at targeting that horrible orange peel that seems to have adopted the back of my thighs!! What is it? ------------ Aveda smoothing body polish is an exfoliant for the body, which contains finely ground walnut shells, kelp aloe and lavender. The cream itself looks like mustard...

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

Smooth down!!!

Advantages: Does exactly what it says on the bottle!
Disadvantages: Can be a bit expensive, however see review for offers!

...If anyone has read my previous reviews then they will realise how much I spend on hair products to tame my frizz! Well I have found a new and great range of products by redken. I usually use some of redkens hair products to help straighten my hair (see previous reviews) I recently fancied trying some new shampoo and conditioner, as i'm a firm believer that your hair can get used to products therefore it being a good idea to alternate them. So I looked around at redken shampoo's as conditioners as I reguarly use their styling products which are great. I came across their smooth down range, which redken states, "These highly specialised ingredients simultaneously reinforce your hair's inner structure while dramatically improving its outer appearance, thus giving you the power to transform your hair. " so I thought this...

Review of Redken Smooth Down

Smooth Dark Chocolate

Advantages: Tasty, if you like dark chocolate
Disadvantages: Sweet

...Galaxy Smooth Dark Chocolate (125g bar) Well, my 50th review is upon me, so I thought I would return to my favourite subject ? chocolate. I like to read what chocolate bars say about themselves and then check out if I think it is accurate. This bar says, ?The smooth Galaxy way to enjoy dark chocolate ?.. deeply smooth, intensely delicious and not at all bitter.? So, does this match up to my experience of it? A Few Facts * This bar of chocolate is suitable for vegetarians. ? Galaxy chocolate is part of Mars inc ? As this contains traces of nuts it is probably not suitable if you have a nut allergy, though the wrapper does not point this out. ? Galaxy will be the first Mars inc. brand to carry the Rainforest Certified Seal from 2010. Packaging I found the design of this packaging simple...

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

SMOOth as a baby's bum

Advantages: Can be applied to the chamois pad or the skin, lightly perfumed, mulitple uses
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...What is Udderly Smooth Udderly Smooth (?US?) chamois pad cream is a protective cream that was specifically designed to prevent saddle soreness for cyclists. By creating a barrier between the skin and the chamois pad (as well as the rest of the shorts) this product allows cyclists to be in the saddle longer and consequently travel further and faster in more comfort. For those of you that are unsure, the chamois pad is the nappy like padding in the crotch and backside area of padded cycling shorts. Looks, consistency and smell US looks like any typical body lotion/skin cream and is white in colour, although I should point out it is much thicker than a moisturiser. Given US acts as a barrier it needs to be so this is not unexpected. US is not strong smelling or perfumed. There is a slight smell but then you will...

Review of Udderly Smooth Chamois Cream

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!...
