Hair -Back to Basics - Sunflower Shampoo
rated 3 of 5

When my hair was long, this was my favorite. The sunflower scent is lovely, and the shampoo is light and clean.

Eyes -Aveda - Onecolor Plus Two
rated 3 of 5
MeditativeRose 9/27/2002 1:21:00 PM

This is such a nice product. I've used mine down to the nub. : ) The colors are so versatile, you can use them for lips, eyes, cheeks, eyeliner...and the pencil is not too soft, but still soft enough that you can control what you're getting. It's awesome.

Makeup Brushes -Aveda - Angle Brush
rated 5 of 5
MeditativeRose 9/27/2002 1:19:00 PM

This is an awesome brush. I use it every day for eyeliner. Until I got this brush, I always had to use a pencil liner, because I couldn't get a straight line, or a thin line, or I'd mess it up some other way. This brush makes it possible for me to get an extremely even line. I've had this brush for about 5 years, and it shows little wear. A worthy small investment.

This is a nice lotion, but it was too light for me.

Toners -Aveda - Toning Mist

MeditativeRose 9/27/2002 1:16:00 PM

This was a nice, refreshing spray, and it smelled nice, but I wasn't sure what it was supposed to do.

Styling Products -Aveda - Self Control Stick
rated 2 of 5
MeditativeRose 9/27/2002 1:15:00 PM

This one was too controlling for me. It was hard to work with and sticky, and I wasn't able to use it very easily. The new Control Paste is much easier to work with.

Styling Products -Aveda - Volumizing Tonic
rated 4 of 5
MeditativeRose 9/27/2002 1:15:00 PM

Oh, if only this was cheaper! I use it by the boatload. Okay, that's an exaggeration. I do use it a lot, in combination with the Phomollient Styling Foam, and that combination provides a lot of body and control. The best combination I've found so far is to start with a Bumble & Bumble herbal spray, use the Aveda Volumizing tonic spray next, then use the Bumble & Bumble styling creme and blow-dry. Awesome!

Styling Products -Aveda - Phomollient
rated 4 of 5
MeditativeRose 9/27/2002 1:13:00 PM

Very cool, looks like a liquid, comes out like a mousse. I get a lot of body and control from this product. Very nice, without being overly controlling.

Hair -Aveda - Firmata hairspray
rated 3 of 5
MeditativeRose 9/27/2002 1:12:00 PM

This is a nice, all-purpose hair spray. You can use it to capture flyaways, or hold a style. I like it.

Styling Products -Aveda - Custom Control
rated 2 of 5
MeditativeRose 9/27/2002 1:11:00 PM

This is a part liquid, part gel...it's not my favorite product from Aveda. I didn't have nearly as much control as with the control paste.

Styling Products -Aveda - Control Paste
rated 4 of 5
MeditativeRose 9/27/2002 1:06:00 PM

I use this every day. You have to be careful not to use too much, but it's fantastic for getting rid of those little flyaways and frizzies. It's not perfect...on a humid or rainy day, expect a bad hair day, but it can help control it overall so it's not AS bad as it would be.

This is a lovely light conditioner that is nice for every day use. I find the scent to be extremely refreshing.

Conditioner -Aveda - Cherry Almond Bark Conditioner [DISCONTINUED]
rated 3 of 5
MeditativeRose 9/27/2002 1:05:00 PM

This is a really nice conditioner that smells like a cherry lollipop. It's a heavier conditioner, so it's best not to use it every day, but it's great for weekly use for longer hair. It might be a little heavy if you have pretty fine hair.

I'm in love with this product. It's wonderful. It conditions your hair and makes it nice and smooth without weighting it down.
