This oil, like all of the Aveda oil collection, is very good mixed with body moisturizing products, such as creams, body butters, and Aveda Carribbean Therapy. I mention the latter because when I get a pedicure at my Aveda salon, the technician always mixes this oil with Carribbean Therapy and massages my legs. This particular oil does smell like geraniums, which I love. (they're about the only flower that will not die in the New Mexico heat.) So, I purchased this to massage my body and mix it with various creams and Carribbean Therapy cream, with great results. My skin does not itch and is not flaky. I highly recommend any of the Aveda oils. (And Carribbean Therapy)

And it's expensive. The concept is good. I bought a blush, and it didn't come in a compact, only a cheap plastic container; so you actually need something like this to keep the product from moving around. I like the blush/powder compact that has magnets to keep the product in place. But, the lipstick holder is useless. The lipstick slides right out! I gave it 4 stars because I like the compact part, but it looks weird with an empty space for the lipstick, and I have tried many different Aveda lipsticks and they simply don't stay put.

I love Aveda oils. I mix a few drops with my body creams or Caribbean Therapy and massage it in, especially my lower legs, which become very dry. I have found the Aveda oils really add more emollients to a body cream as well as imparting a glorious aroma. A little of the oil goes a long way. I highly recommend any of the many oils.

I am a body cream and body butter fan. I found this product to be too thin to do a good job of moisturizing. Also, it left a kind of sticky feeling on my hands after applying it. It also seemed to take forever to absorb. If you like to feel you're really moisturized, this is not the product. Try body butters by the Body Shop or others or body creams. These are rich in emollients. I also add a little of the Aveda oil to the cream and body butter. I returned this product.

I get my nails done at an Aveda salon, and part of the acrylic nail process is washing your hands. They provide this product for that purpose. The first time I used it I was very impressed. It smells divine and really moisturizes. I decided to buy it and use it in the shower in addition to my hands. It is an excellent product, which I recommend.

I love Aveda products because they are natural and good quality. I bought this product to keep flyaways under control, and straighten the curls I have, as recommended by my stylist. However, when I applied a small amount to my hair when I got it home, my hair felt sticky and it was clumpy. It also didn't help fly aways and did not straighten my hair. My hair is curly in the back and straight in front, so it looks weird. I thought this product woul solve my dilemma, but it did not. For me, it is not a good product, and I returned it.

I saw an advertisement in a magazine to try a sample at Sephora. I received a little pot of product to try. I was amazed. I put it on before foundation and had enough coverage to not need foundation! It is super moisturizing and deposits a very flattering tint. It is pricey, $38, but I decided to buy it because of the quality, nice effect, good moisturizer, and a little goes a long way. I recommend this to anyone who wants moisture and color at the same time. This is far better than Stila and others I've tried. I am very pleased with this purchase, and I have received compliments on how dewy my face looks. Compliments are always a tell-all about a product.

I thought Napoleon Perdis had a good reputation for quality products. I was wrong. They are pricey with low quality. This lipstick does not deposit any color on your lips, no matter how many times you apply it. It's like using nothing at all! Please save your money. there are much better lipsticks on the market, such as Revlon, Aveda and NYX.

I ordered this product on-line because I liked the colors. However, the colors are not pigmented at all. I had to apply many applications to have any kind of color appear. Please do not purchase this product as you will not like its lack of performance. I sent it back.

I won this product from Beauty Undercover. It is comprised of 3 sachet packets joined together containing color, developer and equalizer. It also contains a brush and latex gloves. It can be applied 3 ways: bowl and brush; applicator bottle; directly from the sachets. I opted for the latter. I folded the sachets according to the directions, cut the tops all at once, and applied it to dry hair. You end up applying all 3 at once. It is a low ammonia formula, so it does not smell. The application was so easy. No mixing with option 3. It was not runny and easy to use. The color is fantastic! I chose Pearl Blonde in a demi-permanent. The color toned down my blonde hair that was starting to look a little brassy. It covered gray, and I am very pleased with this product. I will definitely buy it. It is available on-line (TB won't let me mention the site, but it is a popular site for everything especially books and Kindle) for $14.99. What a great prize.
