Wen Chat-May

Hilary77 — Sun, 04 May 2014 03:52:48 GMT

Even though Chaz is not scheduled for a visit until June, I thought it would still be nice to start a May chat thread. It's a great way to chat without starting a new thread for everything you want to say. I hope that everyone has a great month!!!

I needed some more Sam, so I ordered the Sam/Pom duo. I haven't liked Pom in the past, but I thought I would give it another try. If I don't like it, I know my hubby can use it.

That's a great deal for both of those Hillary! I'm trying not to buy anything in May except a SOB oil for my mom. I hear from a horse it's pretty much sold out at the Q but I'm hoping for a sale on his site next weekend so I can grab it. I want to save my dollars for June. Can't wait for 613! And I hear there might be some great deals on the body products! Yeah!!

Hilary, thanks for starting a new May chat thread. I really enjoy the monthly chat threads. I like chatting about Wen even when Chaz isn't doing any shows, although it's much more fun when he's on the air. I've been pretty busy lately so I actually haven't had a chance to watch all Chaz's shows from his recent visit. They're safely stored on my DVR for when I have some down time to watch them.

Normally I'm able to measure/budget out my purchases fairly easily based on the annual cycle of the TSVs. But Chaz has been throwing in some exceptional goodies and all my planning has gone to heck in a handbasket. Can I be angry at Chaz for offering us all such generous special pricing on Wen products?

First there was the supersized "crazy price" remoist with comb and the 16oz LAV CC w/ comb/giftbag/$2-S&H. I've fallen in love with the SOB: it may be my favorite scent. So I was able to order the 4oz SOB oil and I just snagged a 3-pc gift set. I've pushed the Sept & Dec TSVs (that each include the 16oz SOB CC) as far as I can, because I'm not sure how much more to order (and it will probably be a part of the Dec 2014 TSV, thank goodness).

Hopefully, the only thing I'll be buying in June is the 613 fragrance. I'm soooo looking forward to that. I'm actually hoping that the 613 fragrance is the only new 613 item on the horizon.

I love the OTOs but I'm going to try to be good unless there's a BL OTO.

I'd just better not fall in love with that SHP.

It really is great that a few of the CC bundles have such great pricing. Going forward, I hope QVC will add various 16oz CC bundles that include 613, FIG, BGT & CA so that people can try them more easily. The 2oz packets are nice but I think that frequently you have to try each CC at least 2-4 times before you get a sense as to how it's going to work on your hair. There's a certain amount of experimentation that always seems to take place.

As much as I love what is now the standard 5-pc Seasonal December TSV, I wish Chaz could also give include an additional 5-pc core CC option of SAM, TT, FIG, LAV & BGT (I'm a CA fan, but it's just not that popular). This would give those new to Wen another cost effective way to try these core formulas.

The original 5-pc December TSV included SAM, TT, FIG, LAV and CA. The CA was switched out for POM when it debuted. Then the FIG was switched out for the current Seasonal when the Seasonals debuted. And now it's all soy-based CCs: 4 Seasonals plus POM.

I'm starting to get excited about June hearing about some of the goodies that are in store. Wonder if it could be 613 body products? I know no oil until the holidays (maybe) but I would gladly welcome the body cream/lotion now.

MissKlynn — Sun, 04 May 2014 06:31:06 GMT

Hi Wenners! So glad to see the chat, thanks Hilary!

I didn't buy anything during the last visit but I placed an order yesterday Sort of liberating to place an order "off the record" from the normal frenzy.

I got the SOB RTM, I have the little one sitting by me and am obsessed with it! Was bummed to see it on waitlist, so fingers crossed! I also finally ordered the jumbo 12oz size of CA RTM! I begged for this last year so I'm rather impressed at my control that I didn't hyperventilate when it aired. Well other things were going on life-wise so ya know. Anyway I was happy to see that still available This is a great RTM for the face! In my first Wen year I didn't use the RTM much and now I drown it it!

I think the longer you use Wen the more control you feel (well I speak for myself lol) to just buy what you need when you need it and will use. There will always be good deals. Hey that's not to say that a good deal isn't hard to pass up, but now I only jump when I know I know it is something I NEED now and will use!

And on that note, happy Wenniversary Hilary! I remember that you and I had ours about the same time. My 2 year was end of Feb and at that time I thought of posting and thought of you

I had a moment, in April, with Wen Dooters. Ya'll saw my post. It was a sensitive time. Know that I made amends personally and all is good in the hay stack! We are in for some really GOOOOOOOOOOOD treats in June but my lips are sealed. It's up to him to loosen those lips, and we know he will haaaarrrrhaaaarrharrrr!

MissKlynn, happy Weniversary to you as well!!!

*spritzes CA RTM all around*

I know what you mean about being able to exert more control with Wen purchases the longer you use Wen. I usually have things under control but, for whatever reason, Chaz has bunched up specials on some of my key products in a short timeframe... and then there's SOB. Oh well, the best of intentions...

I'm glad to hear everything is a ok with Dooters. From his perspective, some of the nonsense that gets said, especially in the beauty forum, is really uncalled for.

I'm so looking forward to June... my poor pocketbook...

I don't think my hair likes BGT, at least not on a regular basis. It seems to give me the worst of both protein and moisture: super-sized knots on my ends and uber softness.

I haven't used it alone for fear of dryness. That will be the final step before the return.

I agree about all the great kit pricing recently. I have so much product that I am going to pass on the gallons this year.

Re: Wen Chat-May

terrier3 — Sun, 04 May 2014 12:58:34 GMT

The only CC that work for me are the seasonals.

Calling all "UBER"WENNERS - when is the peach formula coming out, please?

TIA!

I know, right? He has had some great deals lately. I am also sooo excited about the 613 fragrance. I may never have to buy another fragrance. The smell of 613 is so wonderful. It's the perfect blend of soft vanilla and the freshness of the hint of rosemary and lemon. I can't wait!!!

Hilary77 — Sun, 04 May 2014 13:46:57 GMT

Bethany and beaches, I'm with y'all on hoping for the body products! I am starting to really like the bcc. I have always loved the lotion, but the bcc is becoming a fast favorite as well. I have used it for exclusively for a few weeks now. I used regular body wash yesterday to see if I could tell a difference. You can probably guess what happened. My skin felt much drier. So I guess that means I am finally a fan of the bcc. I am still trying to get past the no lather thing. It is harder for me with the body products for some reason. The fact that the cleansing conditioners don't lather really doesn't bother me.

Happy Weniversary MissKlynn!!! Enjoy that big CA RTM! That cucumber aloe scent is the bomb!! I don't care for the scent of the cc as much because the menthol seems to overpower the cucumber scent. But the sc, oil, RTM, and body products in the CA smell great!!! I can't wait to see the treats we are getting in June!! This will be a great time for me. School will be out and I will be able to relax, sit by the pool, and enjoy my Wen!!

I think I'm going to return the BGT too I really wanted to like it and it smells great, but after one wash, it left my hair super dry and brittle feeling (I'm afraid to try it again for fear of another dry hair day). I'm sad cause I had heard wonderful things about it!

Bebe, I know mine too but they keep saying body products so to me it would make perfect sense that it be 613! I know many have said a fragrance but I would love body cram and lotion. Chickenmoo you hearing this? Lol
