gives curls a boost

No, this won't give you curly hair if you don't already have curly hair, but if you do, this will help give a little boost to your curls. You have to be really gentle with your hair and handle it as little as possible when styling to get the real effects. air drying is best. But I can tell a difference with this conditioner and the whole be curly line by aveda. Plus we all know aveda products smell divine!

smoother skin and flawless coverage

So I have some scars and bumps from current and past acne on my face. This is a smooth primer that I put on before my makeup and it leaves a perfect, even-toned base for my foundation or powder. When I use this, my makeup stays on longer, my face gets less oily throughout the day, and my skin looks smoother.

Part of my nightly winter ritual

I have been using this skin salve during the winter at night before I go to bed for a few years now. I put it on my hands and rub it into my cuticles, then rub some into my feet (especially my heels and toes) and put on some socks before going to sleep. When I wake up, my hands are moisturized, my feet look healthy, and I have fewer hangnails/cracked dry hands than I used to.

Non-prescription retinol cream that really does work

I was lucky enough to win a tube of this in a contest, and I loved having it while it lasted. I wish it didn't cost quite as much or I would have it all the time. This worked as well as some of the prescription retinol creams I used in the past but without the redness and peeling that sometimes came along with it. I could tell that my cells were turning over fresh a lot faster than before. If you can afford it I would def. recommend.

Tried and true

Even though the re-branded their clean makeup I have been using this same formula for years. It is one of the only foundations that is just thick enough to cover up the occasional blemish and acne scar but doesn't make me oily or cause breakouts. And it doesn't rub off easily, which can happen with some other foundations. This is ALWAYS in my makeup cabinet. Cheap and works.

Works but on't like the leftovers

For a 5-minute treatment this can't be beat. You can put it on in the shower while you use a conditioning treatment or shave your legs. My one complaint is that it leaves behind a sort of shimmer-glitter afterwards that I find noticeable and I would rather it not leave anything behind. I guess it makes you look "radiant" but I feel a little silly walking around in glitter.

Quick hair healing

I have coarse, curly hair and have trouble keeping it moisturized, especially the ends that have some damage. I tried Moroccan Oil after a friend of mine was raving about it and it really is a great help for my hair. You only need a tiny tiny bit or else it will make your hair greasy, but that's ok with me since a little goes a long way means it's cheaper to use! This really helped my hair look shinier and healthier and it worked pretty fast.
