Aveda Be Curly Curl EnhancerWe curly people are special. We can't cope with humidity. We can't run into the 7-Eleven after a day at the beach and not scare the clerk. Help can be found in this mid-weight curl-defining lotion, which consolidates smaller curls into smoother, defined sections. As hair dries, a wheat protein/aloe mix contracts to hold cur...More |

Aveda Smooth Infusion ShampooA shampoo that helps straighten hair seems like a hoax, but this one appears to work. It made blow-drying my long waves into a straight style easier, although I did use the coordinating Smooth Infusion Conditioner, which seems to be key to getting the full benefits. The shampoo contains luxurious smoothing and hydrating ing...More |

Aveda Brilliant Universal Styling Creme"Universal"? Um, only if you live in a universe full of coarse-haired people. If you do, apply this thick cream to dry hair to infuse with moisture and shine via coconut, aloe and jojoba, plus a mega dose of that classic Aveda scent (people always comment -- it's <i>that</i> sniff-tastic). For those wi...More |

Aveda Smooth Infusion ConditionerThis claims to "smooth and soften hair up to 60 percent." We're not quite sure how to measure those results at home, but we can say when used with Smooth Infusion Shampoo it softens hair and makes creating straight styles less of a nuisance. The creamy lotion-like texture adds just enough weight to medium-thick, w...More |

Aveda Petal Essence Eye DefinerI generally steer clear of pencils for fear that they'll be too hard, too soft or too difficult to sharpen. But this forest management-friendly little guy gives me hope. Though the rich color isn't waterproof, it doesn't smudge or fade unless you work at it. The plastic cap isn't easily lost, as it fits snugly over the firm...More |

Aveda Lip Tint SPF 15Lip balm lovers looking to up their glam factor should try Aveda Lip Tint. It has all the qualities you love in a balm: SPF 15, moisture and a convenient tube. Each of eight stain-like colors contains slight shimmer that lasts a few hours but doesn't hold up to eating and drinking. You may not like the waxy scent, but the c...More |

Aveda Hand ReliefThis buttery-thick hand cream feels like a mini spa experience thanks to the signature Aveda natural-extract smell. It has a greasy texture, so it's best applied before bed; I honestly can't sleep without my nightly slathering. It soothes and softens dry, scaly hands with its exfoliating fruit acids and anti-oxidants. And t...More |

Aveda Lip ShineLooks like Lancôme Juicy Tube; feels like Vaseline Lip Therapy with a mild, peppermint tingle. Environmental advocates will want to hug the recycled, egg carton-like package that houses each tube of super-shiny goo. Certified organic/organically grown ingredients hydrate and soothe, but not every ingredient fits t...More |

Aveda Petal Essence Face AccentsHaving three blush shades to blend is great in theory, but with Aveda Petal Essence Face Accents trio, the darkest color overshadows the rest. Infused with organic lavender (minus the strong scent), the talc- and mineral oil-free formula is a tad pricey, but a great choice for sensitive skin. Color goes on strong so apply w...More |

Aveda All-Sensitive Body FormulaI suggest this oil to all of my buddys when I notice how ashy they are. Only a few of them have actually tried it and they like it too. I like this oil because it doesn't really have a scent but it works really good and for a long time....More |
