at blushgarden, we think differently about reading and writing beauty product reviews. we believe product reviews should provide you with detailed information, let the writer quickly and easily share their thoughts, and be a fun experience for all. to achieve this, we provide a ratings scale for distinct criteria, alongside traditional written comments. this format gives reviewers a way to provide an in-depth review of the same specific aspects of a product, allowing you zero in on the criteria that are most important to you.
without the need for long-form written text, everyone saves time. don’t let us discourage you from waxing poetic if you are so inclined, some people are gifted writers and should share if they want to. we just want to encourage and provide great reviews without that particular barrier to entry.
as an example, one rating criteria for hair styling products is hold. hold ranges from light to maximum. Light might be a desired quality for you, while maximum might be desired for someone else. there isn’t a right answer, only your opinion.
an added benefit to the scales is quickly seeing how a product might perform. you can identify that a product is rated highly for hold without reading a lot of text. easily compare and evaluate similar products based on identical criteria. apples to apples, if you will.
we would honestly love to hear your feedback, if you have an idea for a new rating criteria, let us know! post in the feedback forum, or send us an email to .
not a review but perhaps helpful - here is a description from the source: What it is: Loose and piecey or stand-up and messy-control paste lets you create texture with a pliable medium hold for high-textured styles that are smooth with a matte finish. Who it's for: Anyone with any hair type who wants a pliable medium hold. What it does: It's scented with Aveda's own pure-fume aroma with certified organic ylang-ylang, clove, clary sage and other pure flower and plant essences. How to use: Emulsify the paste in your hand and work through dry hair with your fingertips. Apply more product as desired. Pro tips: For a dramatic, piecey look, emulsify the paste using only your fingertips. Take individual pieces/sections of hair in your hand and slide your fingers directly down the hair. Apply to damp or dry hair prior to braiding or ponytails to keep stray hairs together and maintain a smooth, controlled style.
