This is a good mask. Really. The price is alright, and what you would expect for a prestige brand like Origins--and Origins has lovely business ethics. The mask is fairly concentrated, and just a small dollop is enough to cover your face. It leaves your skin less oily and does wonders for my acne and complexion, plus it's relaxing because it imparts a tingling sensation on your face. But, the smell. Oh geez, the smell is awful! It smells like someone licked cough drops and stuck them on my face. Stars off for that.

I bought this in vanilla and I love the scent. The bottle is a great concept, especially for those like myself who want to get every last drop of a product. It's cheap, and cleans well. It doesn't do too good of a job as sudsing up, and isn't very 'natural'. The scent kind of stays post-shower, but it's meant to be used with an complementing body lotion. It doesn't dry out my skin either, but doesn't add any moisture.

I got this in vanilla, and boy do I love the smell of vanilla. It lingers, isn't greasy, and the product moisturizes pretty well without making my skin greasy. It's pretty cheap too boot, but stars off because I want added SPF protection, and I wish Avon wouldn't go throwing around the word "Naturals" like it's a trend. This product doesn't have anything that makes it ecological like many other big cheap brands. (Plus their e-mails are darn impossible to get away from)

I love this exfoliant. Everything from the soft scent, to the gorgeous glass packaging, to Aveda's love for the environment combine to make this product a great product. It's a bit expensive but a little goes a long way, and there's no irritating pieces of gravel or whatever the heck other exfoliants put in their product. It's refreshing and leaves my skin smooth and helps keeps acne and blackheads at bay. It doesn't dry out my skin, and I don't need to rub virtual sand all over my face to get an exfoliating effect. I highly recommend it! It's great for those with combination skin that gets flakes at strange places.

Anyways, I'll copy over my 1st review on the same product. I bought this thinking it would be a type of tinted balm--boy was I surprised when I tried out the 'pink' shade Berry. It's very opaque just like a lipstick, and a bit waxy. It's a nice colour, though, but not quite what I was looking for. I wouldn't say it moisturizing but it's not terribly dry either. The SPF is good, though and I love Aveda's business ethics and commitment to the environment. It has a nice rosy scent and a minty fruit taste. It lasts for a few hours, and I highly recommend that you try out the colour in the store before purchasing. Oh, and grab a lip liner while you're at it.

This stings a bit if it gets in your eyes--so be careful. It doesn't make my eye area oily nor does it involve a lot of rubbing to get rid of eyeliner or waterproof mascara. The pads are really handy and you can't beat the price. The added skin conditioners leave my eye area feeling soft and clean and the pads remove eye makeup--not smear it around. 2 stars off because it hurts when it gets in your eyes.

I usually don't like Clean and Clear products, but I decided to give this one a shot while on vacation. Pros include above average scent (although some might compare it to dish washing soap), cheap price, and okay exfoliation and cleaning power. Cons include Clean and Clears lack of eco-friendliness, no acne-fighting ingredients, and lack of better exfoliation for oiler complexions--plus it doesn't remove makeup so only use it in the morning. Oh, and I didn't see any difference in 'radiance' which I am not surprised with due to the fact Clean and Clear puts freaking sparkles in their morning burst facial lotion for 'radiance'.

I bought this in a travel size for a trip and it's alright. It doesn't try out my hair nor does it add a significant amount of moisture. The smell is nice, and it's pretty cheap though. I have waist length hair and the conditioner doesn't do a very good job as detangling, but at least it doesn't weigh it down. Don't buy it unless you only need very light conditioning.

I bought a travel size of this to use on a vacation in place of my Aveda Confixor, and it works alright. I have straight hair so it basically just works much like a normal gel--and not a very strong one at that that doesn't last all day. It's cheap though, and smells good--but lacks conditioners and added SPF protection BUT it does have heat protection which I like. Overall, an okay product but definitely skip it if you have straight hair because the hold is very weak.
