WEN MONTHLY CHAT - April 2021

Happy April everyone! Hope this finds you well and enjoying some nicer weather (depending on where you live). Here, the daffodils are almost finished blooming as well as some of the trees.

I received my exfoliating scrub the other day and it is certainly one of my favorite products by Chaz. My skin had nice color, very soft and not at all dry feeling. Definitely one of my repurchase products.

Have a great month! Riley1

@riley1

Thanks for starting us off! I enjoyed Chaz's show last night. I ordered the Hope CC/UNIBT duo & one more Exfoliating Scrub to get the sale price. Too bad it wasn't available on A-D. I'm glad to hear you love it!

I wonder if Chaz is creating any new skin care products? We now have a cleanser, exfoliator, lip scrub, & nighttime moisturizer. Maybe an eye cream or daytime moisturizer would be fabulous, but I don't know if he is even considering expanding his skin care line, since he has the UNIBT that can be used on the face.

Anyhoo, now I guess it's "wait until June gallon month". I do miss that we didn't have a Spring TSV, but to be truthful, I really don't need anything. I kept going through my inventory & have plenty so I didn't want to frivolously spend $$ just to spend.

Edited to add...I did buy a lip scrub/lip balm trio last week when Chaz was on. It will be delivered tomorrow. I like to have extras of that, too!

I'm trying to pare everything down, including WEN. But I did order the body balm stick which just shipped. Earlier last month I restocked my 319 CC/UNIBT combo while the sale was on. That was good timing for me since I was about out of the UNIBT.

I'm also now in "wait for June gallons" mode.

April 1! Can June gallon month be far off? LOL!!!

I got the facial scrub yesterday, but have not opened it. My success with rice-based products has not been good, but his lip product seems to agree with me, so here's hoping the scrub will be great.

The bad news is that I have a few more jars of Tatcha's facial scrub left, and I really don't want to open Chaz's yet. So I will live vicariously thru all your reports of how great it is!

Now have 11 (yes, 11!) seasonal cleansing conditioners in my shower, PLUS my faithful first cleanse Tea Tree. Getting a bit crowded! But what great company I am in.

Weather where I live has been awesome.....upper 70's to mid-80's. Love it!

Think I am thru with purchasing anymore WEN for now, unless something super great comes up. I have all the new scents in the CC, and I haven't heard that he is going to do another new scent for Fall. I would be surprised if he does, since he just came out with the Plum Pear last fall. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he stops for a few seasons so I can get thru all my purchases. But knowing him, as we all do, do we really think he will stop creating something new? NOT!

Thanks @riley1

I have the summer TSV trio coming (but not til July)..

I am saving for summer items as they are my favorite.

@SurferWife Yes if Chaz does eye cream & day moisturize I am

all in... I use a "variety" of things now, but Chaz just does everything top notch...

It reached 90 here in my area of Az, super windy & dry, but the heat feels good to me...(just not the 7% humidity) (now you know why I need so much moisture all the time, I could put body butter on & it's "vanished" in a heartbeat..lol

@World Traveler

LOL! I said the same thing about my Josie Maran Exfoliating Cleansing Powder...until yesterday. I had probably about a week's worth of product left & I just threw it out because I love my WEN scrub so much better. Of course it's much less expensive than Tatcha, but I just want my WEN exfoliator in my shower now.

Re: WEN MONTHLY CHAT - April 2021

World Traveler — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 15:41:29 GMT

@SurferWife Oh, yes, I know what you mean. I keep looking at the jar and thinking, "well, would using it just once hurt?" But I know me, and I would end up going thru it and then ordering more; and then there sits three jars of Tatcha, getting older and older, and maybe less effective than when I first purchased them.

I put Chaz's product up in the cupboard so I won't be tempted. And hope that the next three months go by quickly, because that is how much Tatcha I have left. Just couldn't resist the price he had that day, and knew it would be a fresh batch of goodness!

@World Traveler

I end up gifting my less favorite products, thank-you gifts, BD, Christmas, etc. I have an extra Josie Maran Exfoliator in my beauty closet that I already know I will gift at some point, maybe to a girlfriend of mine who is a baker & uses us as taste testers (love her...LOL) or my housekeeper, who works her behind off keeping my house clean.

At least I never have to wonder what I'm going to give someone when I want to give a gift. SurferWife's beauty closet is the place to shop! LOL!

@World Traveler

I've used Tatcha exfoliator, too (I've tried MANY!). Anyhoo, WEN (& not just because it's Chaz) does have the #1 spot in my heart for exfoliators. I prefer it even over my O'o Hawaii exfoliator.

Hi everyone ,Happy April. Thanks for starting us off @riley1! Well the weather is playing a very mean joke, it feels like February here!!! I too received my exfoliator the other day and love it. I had been using one with emu oil but I am very happy with the results of Chaz’s. I only used it once and my skin still feels smooth and hydrated days later. Like you @geezerette I’m working my stock but I’m starting to have panic attacks with every empty bottle. I have plenty of stock on Fall/Winter/Summer but Spring is low.

Re: WEN MONTHLY CHAT - April 2021

World Traveler — Sat, 03 Apr 2021 02:03:21 GMT

With Chaz coming back on May 21 (if not sooner and baring any changes by QVC!), it is not unusual for him to start selling the gallons at the end of May. Just wondering if he would be allowed to start that early.....May 21 this year.

Love the excitement of the gallons, although I have been getting some really great deals when he sells his trio sets that he normally does throughout the year. The price per ounce is as good as, if not better, than getting the gallon!

I hope he will sell Mango Coconut again, but in the 32-ounce. I still have a gallon of it, but am getting down to the point that it won't last me thru the year.

World Traveler — Sat, 03 Apr 2021 15:14:18 GMT

@SurferWife Well, I did take the plunge and opened the new facial scrub and used it last night. First off, I was a bit hesitant because the seal on it, once you take the lid off, was not tight. Lifted off easily. I wasn't sure if it was dried out or if what I had was supposed to be the texture even with the seal intact.

At any rate, I found it to be incredibly smooth. I expected it to be a little more rough, like the lip scrub is, but then realized that would not be good for the skin. I used it for the suggested 1-2 minutes and found my skin to be very smooth and soft after using it.

I was disappointed I didn't smell more of the three scents in it, as I have always liked that about the Bella Spirit line. I really didn't notice any definitive scent, which is probably for the better so more people may use it.

I need to use the Tatcha again tonight so I can compare them better as to the "after" feel on my skin. Always thought Tatcha made my skin feel smooth, but am going to be more aware of what I feel tonight.

Both products probably have excellent ingredients in them; I just like to be loyal to one brand, particularly anything from Chaz if I can. Since there wasn't any MAJOR difference in the feel or experience between the two product lines, I will finish up my Tatcha scrubs and then switch to Chaz now that he has a facial scrub in his stable.

Re: WEN MONTHLY CHAT - April 2021

SurferWife — Sat, 03 Apr 2021 18:39:41 GMT

@World Traveler

I think it's okay to have 2 loves! I love my O'o Hawaii Exfoliator (I used it yesterday morning) & love my WEN. I will use them interchangeably.

I understand about being loyal to one brand. If Chaz had a full skin care line, it would be easier to be 100% loyal, but there are some items I like to use that he doesn't make. Same with O'o Hawaii. I will admit I like O'o Hawaii cleansing balm better than the WEN facial cleanser, but that doesn't mean the WEN isn't good. I just alternate between the two, which is okay. O'o Hawaii's eye cream is the absolute best I've tried in many years, but if Chaz were to come out with one, I would buy it. At this point, I know the 2 lines I gravitate to, so I'm going to stop experimenting with others. It ends up being a waste of money.

There is a schedule for launching new Seasonals. Chaz has never deviated from it yet... But between covid and his new salon, I'm making no promises.

Look for the next seasonal launches:

Seasonal # season year

25 Fall 2022

@worldtraveler I really enjoy using the facial scrub in the shower . I scrub my face , neck and décolleté for 2-3 minutes and rinse off then use the cleanser. I too was disappointed you really can’t pick up the scents but so many dislike the scent (don’t know why as I find it pleasant).

@ANewHue I did enjoy while trying it the first/only time, and look forward to finishing with my Tatcha so I can get back to Chaz's scrub and continue with it.

I have wondered the same thing.....why so many dislike the scent. Although not strong in any single scent, as far as my nose is concerned, I find the scent of the scrub to be equally pleasant.

Go figure! Good thing we don't all agree or there would not be any variety in this world! ha!

I used the Summer Pink Lemonade again this morning. Still no distinct scent for me to detect. It does perform well and is not displeasing. However, I just have the hardest time trying to pick up any of the known scents in the ingredients when I use it. Since it is a good formula on my hair, I will continue; just not one that I will reorder.

I just opened my last 32 oz. SHL...uh-oh...no more sharing with Toby! He'll have to use FFA for a while! I need to get through more of my seasonals before I order more SHL, though.
