QVC's WEN by Chaz Dean TSV Review - Set of Three 32 oz Cleansing Conditioners


Winter Red Currant, Winter White Forest & Winter Vanilla Mint


I preordered this WEN TSV on the 24th of November, it was shipped on the 27th and I received it on the 28th. It aired on the 27th, it's item number A352305 and it is still available at the Today's Special Value price of $79.90 or 6 payments of $13.32 along with free shipping. QVC has been offering some of their TSVs at the TSV price for a day or more after it airs. Unfortunately, they don't say how long it will be offered at that price, so if you missed this one and you want it, buy it now. Each bottle costs only $26.63, bargain! Each one retails for $72.00! This TSV is available in the seasonal scents as shown above or in your choice of classic (Lavender, Sweet Almond or Tea Tree) or rice scents (Bamboo Green Tea, Mandarin Italian Fig & Light). The auto delivery 2nd shipment will be in July and it will include Summer Melon Mint, Summer Honey Peach, and Summer Tropical Paradise. These shampoo/conditioners are free of stripping agents, detergents and harsh chemicals. They are cruelty-free and they are made in the USA.  

My favorite WEN scent is Winter Vanilla Mint, so I just had to purchase this TSV.  It's a very popular limited edition scent so you have to purchase it quickly before it sells out. It's the only one of the three scents included that I have tried before. All of these scents are only available during his last visit of the year. Winter Vanilla Mint smells just like an Andes Mint Candy, it's a scrumptiously delicious scent. It has cocoa extract, vanilla extract, peppermint oil, rosemary leaf extract, pomegranate extract, wild cherry fruit extract, goji berry extract, acai fruit extract, chamomile leaf extract, white tea extract, green tea leaf extract, and marigold flower extract. This one is perfect for anyone who loves food scents. It smells like chocolate and mint, yum! My husband also likes this one. I love it so much that I have bought it in the gallon size before and it lasted us over six months. It is designed for all hair types and it provides the perfect balance of moisture and hydration.

Winter Red Currant has red currant extract, rose flower extract, patchouli leaf extract, bergamot essential oil, clove leaf oil, mandarin orange peel oil, tangerine fruit extract, rosemary leaf  extract, pomegranate extract, wild cherry fruit extract, acai fruit extract, chamomile flower/leaf extract, marigold flower extract, seaweed extract, green tea leaf extract, white tea leaf extract, rooibos red tea extract and black tea leaf extract. It's supposed to smell mostly of red currant, rose, patchouli and geranium. To me, it smells mostly like roses with a hint of the other three. It's a lovely clean scent that would be perfect for the women in your life who love the scent of roses and geraniums. This one is supposed to help maintain moisture, strength, volume, and shine and it has soy.

Winter White Forest is supposed to mostly smell like spearmint, sandalwood, and vanilla. To me, it smells like spearmint gum mixed with sandalwood with a hint of vanilla. The spearmint is very strong. It includes spearmint leaf oil, sandalwood extract, vanilla fruit extract, rosemary leaf extract, pomegranate extract, wild cherry fruit extract, acai fruit extract, chamomile flower/leaf extract, marigold flower extract, seaweed extract, green tea leaf extract, white tea leaf extract, rooibos red tea extract, and black tea leaf extract. It would make for a refreshing, tingly, morning shower. Its tingly sensation lasts even after rinsing while not as strong as it is while on the scalp. This scent would be perfect for the men in your life. It also has soy and it helps maintain moisture, strength, volume, and shine. I find the ones with soy rinse quicker and are less oily which makes it perfect for those that have hair that tends to lean towards the oily side like mine.

I have been using WEN for so many years I've lost count. I really love that they don't include ingredients that are unhealthy. When I first started using them I used them as a conditioner only since I had a bit of trouble figuring out how much to use and how long to rinse for. Then I started using them both as a shampoo and conditioner. I find some scents take longer to rinse out and if I don't rinse long enough my hair can look a bit oily at the scalp. I use a dry shampoo spray to alleviate that when it happens. While Chaz says you only need to use this shampoo a couple times a week, I use it daily though I don't use as much as he says to use nor do I repeat. I apply it at the start of my shower and rinse at the end. Certainly, one would have to wash their hair after exercising. I have also used these on our dogs over the years mostly as a conditioner for their long hair. I use Royal Treatment's Shampoo from HSN and then WEN and I leave it in a for a few minutes. Though I do not use it on their head, you do not want it to get in their eyes. He finally came out with a formula for dogs, but I didn't care for it. I found it a pain having to measure it out, add water, and mix. If he had a formula that was already mixed, I would purchase that. I also use Replenishing Treatment Mist to freshen their hair up while combing it. When those spray bottles become empty I make my own treatment mist by adding several drops of his Treatment Oil to the bottle, add warm water and shake. I also like to spray this on my hair in the morning while brushing it since I wash my hair at night. It reactivates any styling creme or mousse I added the night before.

I'm enjoying all three of these scents, but I don't think I would repurchase Winter White Forest or Winter Red Currant. They just aren't wowing me like Winter Vanilla Mint does. My other favorites are Fresh Apple, Ginger Pumpkin, Lavender and Tuscan Pear. In general, food scents are my favorite though the spearmint in Winter White Forest is just too strong for me. I may change my mind after I use them a few times. I'll update this post after I use them for a few weeks. What's your favorite WEN scent?

  1. Wendy - My favorite WEN scents ...
    * spring - Honey Lilac, followed by Cherry Blossom
    * summer - Honey Peach. Tropical Paradise was ok, but isn't the best for my hair type.
    * fall - Tuscan Pear. Bought Fresh Apple, but haven't cracked it open yet. But if the RTM and RMM are any indication, I'm going to love it! I've also used Apple Spice, but isn't the best for for my hair type either. Plus I smelled like apple pie all day long!
    * winter - Vanilla Mint and Cranberry Mint. Thought the Red Currant was too pungent and my hair didn't particularly care for it.
    * classics - I use these for my 1st cleanse and a seasonal for the 2nd cleanse. Warm weather months = CA; cold weather months = SAM or POM; ends = fig. When my scalp gets itchy/flaky, add in a bit of TT.

    1. Wow you have a lot of favorites, Lynn! What does Tropical Paradise smell like? That's in the A/D of this latest TSV. I haven't had any of the scents last very long on me except this latest one Winter White Forest, I can smell it on my pillow. The spearment is SO strong!

  2. I love the Bamboo Green Tea and Mandarin Italion Fig. I purchased the coordinating styling creams and mousse for the first time this go around as well.
    Lynn : I just opened a winter cranberry mint. It's lovely! I wish it had been offered as one of the TSV seasonals. I ordered a item last summer for the cancer and careers charity day. I received a gift bag with several expensive items(perricone eye cream, vita liberate, seaberry hair mask,full size doll 10 lip, others) and a 16oz bottle of winter cranberry.
