Coconut, Vanilla Bean and Tiare Hair Gloss

[Blood onmy hands]

Overview: Hair gloss is a heavy, oily spray that quickly overwhelms my long, fine hair and makes it look and feel very greasy. I can't use this product anywhere but very sparingly on the ends of my hair, or else it makes my head look like an oil slick. I'm really careful with my hair and the products that I use on it. For a while, I was using this to fragrance the ends of my hair, but I find that it makes my hair fall out a lot, either from the high fragrance oil content, the heaviness of the oil itself, or something else. I wanted to love these and wanted them to work, because of the fragrances, but now I only use the hair gloss as a body mist on my arms and legs, not actually on my hair.

Fragrance review:
I enjoy pretty much any variety of coconut fragrance, as long as it's not that cheap, oily, suntan lotion type of coconut. This hair gloss is all about that suntan lotion coconut, and I find it oily, cloying and off putting. Suntan lotion coconut mixed with monoi (creamy gardenia scent) oil. It smells like a stereotypical oiled-up-on-the-beach scent and makes me feel sick to my stomach after a while.

This is lovely. It's not what I was hoping for (coconut) but it is lovely (tiare). Very tropical and beachy feeling, mostly tiare and warm vanilla, with just whispers of tropical coconut. I do love it, and it does go with much of my coconutty summer collection, however I am still waiting for a truly COCONUT hair gloss.

This is my first foray into hair gloss. I was worried it would weigh down my fine hair, but with a light hand it just made my hair super shiny and soft. This scent was uber tropical, very tiare forward with a little coconut. Sweet and beachy!

I have sooo many things I could review - should review - Lupers up the wazoo, heck even some Yules I never got around to sharing my impressions about!

 

But I put this hair gloss on after a shower tonight and wondered, not for the first time, why don't I wear this every-damn-day?!!? I can only conclude that it is because smelling so freaking incredible is too much awesome for me (let alone the rest of the world!) to handle on a regular basis (yes, yes, the real reason is that I'm a fickle toddler with wild fragrance mood swings and a compulsion to try new scents).

 

Anyway,it smells great. The vanilla in this one is sooo nice - and I say this as a person who dislikes 90% of BPAL vanillas. And the coconut and tiare? To die for.
