Products the bd team tested (and loved) this week.
Aveda Hand Relief for Breast Cancer Awareness 2011 A rich hand crème that helps soften and smooth hands while diminishing the visible signs of aging. bd says
I am addicted to hand cream. I lather it on at regular intervals throughout the day and am confident I have tried nearly every one on the market. Aveda Hand Relief is a rich cream that hydrates my skin and doesn’t leave it greasy, plus there’s a gorgeous scent. It’s been a bestseller for the brand since its 1998 launch, and is a must-have for dry hands like mine. The best bit about getting one during the month of October? Aveda will donate $US4 from the sale of Hand Relief to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation. It’s time to go pink, ladies! - Michelle

I really struggle with my hair. I’m one of those people who naturally has hair that’s a bit wavy, a bit curly and 100 per cent unruly (and not in a cool I just rolled out of bed and went for a swim at the beach” look.) My nightmare of a hair plus my struggles to best wield a hairdryer means any product that claims to be fuss free” and easy” is my kind of tool. The Perfect Curls was super simple to use with its spiral path to guide me and I was so happy with the results that I was running around the office like a little girl on prom night. Remington – you’re my hair salvation. - Yelena

Having just had my hair coloured (it’s looking really good, thanks for asking), I’ve made a pledge to myself this time round to use colour-saving shampoo and conditioner that will enhance my blonde, not dull it. Sebastian’s Color Ignite Multi Shampoo and Conditioner are designed for multi-tonal or lightened hair and promises to make hair colour as vibrant as possible. The conditioner is of a foam mousse consistency, which surprised me when I squirted some out onto my hand, but did allow for easy application throughout my mane. Stay tuned to find out how these babies perform over a few months, but after three washes, my colour is as rich as ever (and not a shade of brassiness). – Lucy
