I will absolutely report back ASAP, @SurferWife !  I need to get on my exercise bike soon, but I feel so wrung out after a crazy busy day of taking a car to the shop, getting a dog to the vet in DH's car, then home again, then back to pick up the car, then take the other two dogs to the park, mixing in trying to get meals for dogs and humans in there, and I'm fluster-xhausted.  What I really want to do is go climb in the shower right now, then crawl into bed, LOL!

I have wavy to curly hair down to my shoulders that is thick and color treated. I LOVE using POM for the first cleanse each day. I think it provides plenty of moisture. I use it with one of the seasonals as the second cleanse. My hair combs out super easy. They say FIG is the most hydrating but I found the scent a bit too strong (and I like the scent of FIG). 


I have a similar routine @scullychick . My hair is curly/wavy and almost all of the time I let it dry naturally.

 

 

 

 I alternate POM and Tea Tree for my first cleanse, and use a seasonal for my second.

 

 

 

 

Right now I'm waiting for the new Pina Colada. I didn't get the Big Deal, but I did get the Summer Cleansing Trio with CC, styling crème, and RTM.  Smiley Happy

I'm worn out just reading your post!  LOL!

 

PS - lots of goodies posted now, but it's my bedtime so I don't feel like listing everything here.  Y'all save some Pina Colada for me!

@SurferWife   As I suspected, in the shower the complexity of the scent shows up.  I smelled the pineapple and coconut right away, and as I added some warm water and worked up a creamy foam, I got a hint of citrus and something rich and earthy.  I need to read the ingredients again, perhaps there is grapefruit and passionfruit or papaya in there that might add those notes?  Now, on to performance.  For my fine, straight hair, this CC has just the right level of moisture, like PPL has.  It also adds some shine, like PPL, but it remains to be seen whether the honey complex starts irritating my scalp.  Having gotten invested so heavily in PPL only to start reacting to it, I am hesitant to jump into the bandwagon on SPC.  If I were really, really in love with the fragrance, I'd be more tempted to buy some SMC, it's also tropical but has no honey in it.  SMC is too moisturizing for my hair and Pina Colada is lighter, but since the trimonium honey compound is higher up in the stack, I worry I will sensitize and react to it like I did to PPL.  Anyway, that's my review, I hope other WEN users that don't have my allergy issue find it works as well for them as it does for me and they can enjoy this luxurious new scent!

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback.  It sounds like a winner for me!  I purchased the mousse last night.  I was concerned I'd wake up & it would be sold out and I actually need mousse.  I plan to buy the Styling Creme on the 3:00 pm (HST) show, so he can get more on-air credit.  I'm actually on my LAST styling creme.  I may get the single 32-oz. and call it a day.  As much as the Big Deal is a super big deal, I absolutely do not need it.  I have a large CC inventory, so I've cooled my jets on that & focusing only on the ancillary products as I start to run low.

I am glad my input helps, @SurferWife .  Chaz is on air right as I'm typing, and I ordered another SC duo in SHP, still my fav summer cc, and even when I run out of it, I can use the SC with 319 CC and get some of that scent without the honey allergens.  I also wanted to get Chaz some credit this visit, so even though the duo hadn't been presented yet at the time I ordered.  I hope you love the new SPC products when you get them, it's a lucious scent.

I ordered the Pina Colada 32 oz. CC, Styling Creme Duo & Mousse Duo.  There are a few other Bella Spirit items I wanted but I'll hold off for now.

Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

 

 

I couldn't wait to try it after it came yesterday. It is amazing! I smell like summer, pineapple, and coconut mixed up.

 

 

 

 I didn't think anything could even come close to my all-time favorite WEN scent of Coconut Lime Verbena. This may surpass that one. I'll give it a little more time before I decide! LOL! 

 

 

@SurferWife - I imagine this is what Hawaii smells like!   Smiley Happy

@beach-mom 

I just ordered my SPC CC & RTM directly from chazdean.com this morning.  SPC CC is 40% off today only & I actually got a BETTER price, plus I got the SPC RTM at 10% off.  Shipping was only $5.95 vs. QVC's $16.95 to Hawaii, so I'm glad I cancelled my QVC order & got it directly from Chaz!  His shipping is quicker, too, so I should have it early-mid next week.

 

My SPC mousse is scheduled to arrive today.  I will at least get to use it tomorrow, while I wait for my styling creme, CC & RTM.

P.S.  The Blessing scent, Love, smells EXACTLY like Hawaii.  If you haven't tried it, you MUST!  The CC and UNIBT are downright heavenly!
