First off, this item smells amazing and that smell lasts forever. I dont know what it is but it's so delicious (read: guys even notice it). I love conditioners that have lasting smells, but dont overpower. Now, onto the point of this conditioner,...yes it does provide volume without the expense of too much dryness. I was originally a fan of the shampoo before I met the conditioner...I think the conditioner works better (if you had to choose one, budget friends). The shampoo is REALLY drying. I always have a bottle of this on hand....it's something that your hair craves every now and then once you use. Buy some!

This is a pretty sticky item that clogs up the pump easily and can become really heavy on your hair. The pump never sprayed because it would get clogged every time I used it. I even tried transferring to other bottles, but it seemed to dry up easily (a lot of alcohol) and though it kept my hair straight, by the next day my hair would feel greasy and flat. I give it 4 stars for the smooth shine that my hair got on the first day being used...but other than the initial day, this is a pretty messy product that I dont recommend. There are much better items out there. Oh, and it doesn't really keep frizz out that well...but if you were to put an oily mess in your hair then I suppose it would take a bit to get it to move based on heaviness

When I first got this body wash I really loved it...it smells AMAZING!! I used it for years as my go to summer body wash....definitely the best wake up body wash all around unless you have a love for minty smelling body washes. If you dont and you love citrus, this is your shampoo. Smells amazing, but not in a lemony (pledge) fake smell way...just fresh. My only vice was that I can't use this body wash if it's not summer, it's just not good for my skin in the winter air. I wish they had a more moisturizing version of the body wash as the using the body butter after shower is just a little bit too much lemon sage for me. I'm not a fan of using all of the products in a line...If it works for you, then it's a 10, but I had to give it a 7 for my personal use.

I went through a period of time in which I was allergic to any costume jewelry or metals. I went to some of the most well renowned dermatologists in NYC....they provided tons of creams and serums to cure the brakeouts on my ears, neck and wrists....nothing worked. Finally, I read a review about Aveeno...and I got this body wash. After almost 2 years, this was the only body wash that saved my skin. It was restored after such a long battle...i'm sad to see this item be discontinued. It had a great smell...I'll miss it if I use the fragrance free version :(

I have long curly/wavy hair...depending on the weather, but it's also prone to frizz (esp on dry day). For years I've been searching for a spray that would accentuate my curls, but give enough hold to keep them together all day. This is the best I've found but I have yet to find the perfect ten. It definitely holds curls together but it makes them a little bit crunchy. I also feel that I have to use a lot of this product to get a great look...which means it runs out quickly and it's not that easy to find anymore. I do like that it definitely adds shine and smells very good. Overally concensus, I will always keep this in my arsenal of hair supplies, it's a staple that I'm used to and probably can't live without even though it's not a perfect 10. It's like that best friend that might complain all of the time, but is always there for you when you want predictable, tried and true results. The quest continues,but this one stays. (i just discovered Morroccanoil curl mousse..a close second to this item, but only because I enjoy a spray much more than a mousse).

When I first got this product, I was in love after my first use. My hair was immediately bouncy and soft, as if I had just stepped out of the salon after a fresh hair cut. I have very long hair and so it's very important to keep it well conditioned, especially down to the tips - this conditioner definitely revived any signs of heat tool/blow dryer use. I raved about this and told all of my friends (they noticed my hair)...but then after a few months (on to the second bottle) I fell out of love. After a while, I felt that maybe it caused build up or that it just wasnt helping my hair anymore. My hair started becoming a little weighed down and I lost interest in this...though I do keep the old bottle around and use it every now and then. If not used every time you wash your hair and it is alternated with other lighter conditioners, it seems to work just fine. As a last note, I must rave about the smell. I have alwas loved the smell of aussie products and for that, it should get at least five stars. One of the few conditioners from which the smell stays in your hair all day long. Love that!!!!

This is the best eye shadow primers that I've ever used. Works great with a heavy pigmented look and on light shadows, doesn't change the color of your shadow and definitely allows no creases. I've been using this item since it was a new item and it has never failed me, even when I've cheated with other items (ahem, Urban Decay..and i'm a big UD fan). The only con for this item, it's a little bit watery...but I guess that's what keeps it feeling like "nothing" on your lid. This item can work on all skin tones and with any hue of shadow. Very impressive. Definitely part of an all night party make up arsenal...make it a staple and you won't be disappointed.

I bought this product a few months ago...and hated it. I'm not one to throw things away so I kept it thinking that maybe i would come back. At that time, I would have given it three stars...just because I wasn't totally sure that it didn't work, but not sure that it did. That was summer. I've revisited the item now (it's cold, NY winter) and it seems to be becoming a staple in my makeup routine. No, it's not for every day but it's great for those Saturday nights when you really do your makeup and use things like highly pigmented eye shadows. Note: Sometimes I feel that it changes the color of my make up (foundation and concealer), maybe that's if you put on too much. So this is a very on/off item....but in the winter it seems to be working great. Seasonal item?

I must admit that even though I'm a beauty junkie, I didn't really understand the concept of this item at first. It promises a "smoothing,glowing complexion" on the bottle and caught my eye while on line at Sephora. (yes, the marketing worked). I will say, I already have pretty great skin (darker skin), yet I'm always looking to perfect it a little bit more. So here's what I found: Pros -Within 4 days of using this product before moisturizer I have received numerous inquiries on how I keep my skin so perfect, I also notice a glowing complexion. So the product works and therefore, mission accomplished. Cons -Smell is a bit too minty for my liking, but others seem to find it refreshing -price, if this is really considered a toner then it is really expensive for a toner (I prefer rose scented witch hazel)...but if this is more of an overall skin perfector, then I think it's worth the price. After one use every day for four days I can't say i've seen much of a dent in the bottle -dont get it in your eyes, IT BURNS. Same goes for newly waxed skin. Be careful, especially if your skin is sensitive. Overall, I'm hooked on this item. I definitely recommend it despite there being more cons than pros in this review. try it!

I know that this item gets rave reviews, but it's just not that great...not for me at least. I have a darker skin tone...and this definitely leaves a white film over my face. I tried to use it under makeup or over makeup, on fresh skin, always left the same residue which made my face look like i used a foundation that was too light for my skin. I had friends wiping my face upon seeing me...even after I wiped it. Also, the application definitely wasn't even. I think this is a great concept but a very messy idea that didn't work out for me at all. Fail from me. 3 stars for those that love it. Not worth my money.
