I bought this because it was cruelty-free and I found it on clearance--I wasn't really sure how to use it at the time. I'm not very good at applying eyeshadow, but this brush makes my eye makeup look professional. It's soft, animal-friendly, and applies color to the tricky crease area with perfect results. Now I use it every day!

I got a bottle of this as part of a set and wasn't sure I would ever use it, but after one try I became a believer. It feels great on my skin, keeps my mineral makeup on all day, and wards off shine. I have tried a few other brands of primer, but this one has the best texture (easy to apply and non-greasy). It is rather pricey, but one bottle lasted me months with daily use. Also, it saves me some money by preventing me from having to reapply my makeup during the day. Next I'm going to try the oil-free version for summer.

I usually just use vaseline or baby oil to remove my eye makeup, but I saw this in an Aveda store and thought I would give it a try. It works ok, but I didn't think it was worth the price at all. It's nice that it's non-greasy and non-irritating, but it didn't work as well as other things I've tried and cost a lot more. It might be worthwhile if you have very sensitive eyes or very oily skin, but I wouldn't buy it again.

I was recently talked into trying this moisturizer even though it was a little more than I wanted to spend, and I am so glad I tried it. It is a great balancing moisturizer: it goes on light but feels hydrating, and doesn't leave my skin dry or greasy like others I've tried. I especially like the fact that it contains sunscreen. The only reason I wouldn't rate it a 10 is that it's awfully pricey for a basic moisturizer.

I bought one of these brushes over 10 years ago, and it still looks like new. It works great for styling and detangling--the molded plastic bristles never snag my hair or scratch my scalp. Great quality, great value!

I like the feel of this hand cream, but was put off by the scent. The pungent citrus/cucumber smell is a bit too harsh and strong. I don't mind some scent in a hand cream, but this was so strong that I always felt like I was bothering my officemates when I applied it. I also found that the package size was a little awkward--it was small enough to fit in my big everyday tote, but too bulky for a smaller bag. I prefer the slimmer, purse-friendly shape of other tubes I've seen (Origins hand cream). Overall, it works well if you don't mind the scent.

I love this product. I really like the fact that, unlike many root volumizers, it can be used on dry hair to help revive your style. I find it also works like a dry shampoo to help banish grease between washings. It gives me great lift (quite a feat since I have long, fine hair) without stickiness or crunchiness. I was a bit put off by the price at first, but I have had the same can for over six months and it is still going strong. Smells great, too!

I got this product as part of a set, and was really glad I had the opportunity to try it. It is fun to apply and looks great whether you're going natural or more dramatic. I didn't have a problem with it wearing off or smearing during the day--it stayed put just fine for me.

I love this product as a basic, multipurpose styling spray. I have very fine, long, slightly wavy hair, and this spray works no matter how I'm styling my hair. I can spray it on damp hair, scruch a bit, and it brings out waves I didn't even know I had. I can also apply it before blow-drying, and it adds volume, shine, and manageability. The scent is mild and pleasant. Love it!

I am normally a big fan of Aveda products, but I was not impressed with this mascara. It went on ok at first, but I found that it smeared under my eyes throughout the day, giving me the dreaded raccoon look. I wouldn't buy it again
