$2 Never Smelled So Good
Hi. My name is Katy. And I am an Aveda whore.For nearly half of my life, Aveda Shampure shampoo and Rosemary Mint conditioner have been essential parts of my everyday life. Sometimes more than once a day.
I adore Aveda.
Having worked for the company in my previous life, I have the utmost respect for how they incorporate organic sustainable ingredients into their products that profit the livelihood of cultures in tiny pockets around the globe.
And because it smells crazy good. And makes me feel purdy.
Every so often, when our budget tightens around the time we need more shampoo, I pick some up at Target Boutique to get us through.
As with moist bathroom wipes made for kids any bathroom product, I don’t think shampoo should smell like melons, apples or grapes.
That makes shampoo shopping tricky.
A couple weeks ago, while on a quick mission for things that keep us clean, I happened upon Suave Rosemary Mint Shampoo. Intrigued, I threw it in the cart.
After using it everday for 14 days, I love it almost as much as my favorite Aveda products. That, my friends, is a bold statement.
It’s light, invigorating aroma is enough to perk up my energy level even on the sleepiest of mornings. It thoroughly cleans hair (sweat, hair products, maple syrup) and leaves no residue behind to weigh down my fine locks.
In short, it’s rad dooods.
And it’s cheap. Which makes it even better. At $2 ish, it has fast become a staple in my shower.
Confession: I did give in and pick up a new liter of Shampure to use every so often. Yes, I realize. I have issues. But at least I smell good sitting here with me, myself and all my issues.
Note to You: It makes a great gentle laundry soap for hand wash only items.

A few weeks ago I used the sample shampoo/conditioner at a hotel and it was similar to this-same scent, different brand. I ended up taking the half full tubes home and continued to use because I loved it so much. They also had hand lotion in the same scent so I took it too. :) I’ve hesitated to use it too much, for fear of it being gone. Now I know where I can some more! Thanks for the tip!

I need to try the Suave!…..and we are in the same boat at times with the Aveda products and budget(love the Rosemary Mint Body wash too). Wait till your girls get older…they will be lovin’ it too…at age 11 my girl is also an Aveda user(whore is harsh for an 11 yr old :))…the budget has gone down the toilet! :)

I’m a HUGE Aveda snob thanks to your wonderful sister, but I might just have to give this a try. Thanks for the tip!

I loves me some Aveda in the morning! On those especially sleepy mornings, I love to take a big whiff of it before lathering the shampoo! I especially love the RM bodywash, but it is SO expensive. Also, the way I look at it is the litres are $25 & I use so little compared to other store brands that one litre will last me 5 or 6 months. In the long run, I probably save some money! :)
